Closed/retired.
with wings?
its a pegasus so yes it has wings...
Huh, then why are people still allowed to post in there? Cause you can't talk about 6.1 just yet in #archived-lore-spoilers ?
They’re not
The patch 6.1 discussion channel is gone
OH Ok
So the actual merger will happen later in august when 6.2 drops
makes sense
There’s no merger
There will never be a merger
the channel will be reopened and renamed with 6.2
The thread will probably always be open
The name just gets edited for the current patch
No, what I mean is, you're now allowed to talk about 6.1, so the lore from 6.1 can be "merged" into #archived-lore-spoilers discussions, but then there will be a channel for 6.2
That, yeah
Do we have patch notes for 6.15 yet? I wanna see if there's anything of note here.
Oh ok
Is there any way I can track old questlines that I forgot about? I want to pick up the Hildibrand Quests again so I can get a BLU Mage spell or two, but forgot where I left off
Completed tab of the journal
Which one lol
How far has Hildibrand been updated to?
new set with next maint
I suppose Hildi just functions as something to do while waiting for new patch content?
and a way for BLU to get spells easily
Yes, it’s side content
No to the 2nd part because only half the trials give skills
Still makes for a better way to get Missile if you have no friends, though.
Say are there any all tanks top that looks like the level 80 gnb job gear? No moderation stuff preferably
I have TRV + Ultravibration, any other skills besides Missile that I want for HW FATE Farming?
General primal ogcds like feather rain and nightbloom
Shock strike, suparnakha
Choco meteor
nightbloom I get from...Tsukuyomi, right?
I'll start by progressing HIldy to get to Big Keep for Missle, then get a party together for Tsu
590 is easy to get
Red tombstone gear
nvm
It's ||
o
On either side
|| like this ||
ohh
nice ty for the knowledge
soo || zodiark vs hydalyn || which is the easier ex
Now spoiler ||endsinger||
Honestly is there a reason to do ex1 and ex2 now?
1 is || zodiark ||?
Yeah other than mounts
Yes
And grinding mats for the future I guess
no mounts
All 3 drop mounts, as per usual with EXs
whats || endsinger || mount called
What are the mounts this time around?
Lynxs
What's the best Aetheryte homepoint nowadays , in general?
There isn’t one, personally I’d just have them in cities i warp to often
Alright
Do ishgard restoration, it's a crafting/gathering thing
Lv10 for gathering or 20 for crafters
Also fetes give up to 500 per session
the ADS Illuminant i drop from Twintania directly, correct? Unsync works for it?
If you buy a world transfer can you go to different world centers?
Yes
Unsync generally doesn’t work for direct monster drops
Where do you get the trader armor at level 80 in HQ?
Scrips in Eulmore
Anyone still do WT?
yea its free half a level every week
anyone know how to hide the cross hotbar for controllers completely? You can hide it temporarily, but the moment you press r2/l2 it just pops up again
Anyone want to join me some time today/tonight? lol I haven't done one in years
Not the channel
Just make a PF in game
Does anyone know if the dialogue with the racist elezen from the archery quests is different if you're you're also a wildwood elezen? Just curious since I've gotten race-specific dialogue before.
they just call you an outsider, iirc
Change the transparency setting in character Config > hotbar > cross
he's a dick no matter your race, because ultimately you're not consider gridanian
Already did that, but it doesn't work. What happens is that it's transparent when you don't press it. The moment you press l2/r2, the cross hotbar appears again. I've already played around with the different combinations for the transparency settings and it doesn't work. You can only make the icons disappear, but the yellow box highlight will still appear
When in doubt I hit reset settings and try to hide it again
Hiding in HUD and making fully transparent is the best you can do
SE needs to make it so we can make it invisible all the time. Can't even put hide it by putting it away at the edge of the screen because it's too large
Anyways thanks wynne
is there a way to get the quest gear you didn't pick without replaying
Yes, what gear specifically
Poetics
The vendor to the right of the poetics vendor sells all of the non-Scaevan ones
You should already be using some scaeven tho
yeah i am i just want them for glams cause i like how they look
What is the best way to level the Malmstone? CC or FL
the matches are short and more fun
Even with overtime, CC matches are still shorter on average
where did you buy the game?
What does your mogstation say for license ownership?
i brought it from steam like a long time ago
have you bought the game if you have are you subbed
Then you must use steam with the same steam account you used prior
If that is what mogstation says on your account
!faq mogstation
ill try steam again but it came up with same
I'm just learning about Nier Reincarnation x Final Fantasy XIV. Supposedly its been running already. If that's so, where in the world do we start it and what does it reward? I can't find anything but a trailer from 10 days ago.
That’s in the mobile game
Not 14
Oh right, yeah, no that's not in this game.
OH
Probably because your subscription has ended
i think i know now
it took like 5 minutes or so
to get through i think
or like 15
as fuil said it is exclusive to Reincarnation.
i would cry if that was the case as i literally just brought it
Does your mogstation show that you have an active sub?
Again look at mogstation, the account status
yeah it ends on july 4
At the very top, does it say Standard or Standard (Steam)?
Ah, I see! Thank you, worried I missed a great event. :p
the steam one so ye
ay what armor set is this?
funny thing is , i swear ive used the site version before
You definitely haven’t, steam is locked to steam
You may have on a different service account
can a trial be promoted to a full account as a switchover
Yes
Yes
Edengate/Edengrace set for tanks
big mcthankies
Only non steam trial to steam
thanks for help
Trial is the only time you can go from PC to Steam
likely was it
Once you pick your paid version, though, that's it
aah im missing two dlcs that sucks
Buy EndWalker, then you get em
but hey prob going to be a while before i get there
noted, thanks
hopefully a steam sale comes soon
steam has far less sales than se store
g2a then hopefully ;w; also does the fantasia pots allow name changes?
You have to use steam
And no
Name change is separate
Idk why you would risk your account by using a key reseller like g2a
if you buy from g2a you risk being permanently banned.
don't do that.
aaah, i did not know. ok so no g2a
No amount of saved money is worth that risk
g2a is infamous for selling stolen keys or keys bought with stolen credit cards
Which is bad for mmo licenses in particular
its 40$ for 2 expansions which is honestly not that expensive
Since if they do a chargeback you can easily get perma’d
But you're steam
So doesn't matter it wouldn't work
It HAS to be brought through steam
oh, also the name change does it cost?
i mean you can buy steam keys from g2a and similar i would not recommend it tho
those sites are used to launder money and even if you don't realize it due to it not effecting you chargebacks happen very often
reason why ive not used it for a game over 20£ yet
just to repeat not using g2a now before a hammer might fall my way lel
Favorite materia transmuting guide? I'm ready to finish all my L50 crafting quests
Just buy the materia from the mb
oh and last question i promise but whats level cap for having two dlcs
as in oldest ones
I'm on FT until sale
If you only have heavensward it's 60, for stormblood it's 70
Wear level 40-50 equipment and spam Aurum Vale and Dzemael darkhold
oki, as i think leveling some classes and professions for next week or so is fine
instead or grinding to 70
then to buy dlc
If your level 50 equipment is on the higher end like augmented ironworks, spam the higher end of the level 50 dungeons instead like Keeper of the Lake
You need a third party to hold it
oh
Or put some random ass item up for alot of money and buy it on your other character
ok then if anyone is willing to help me pls im broke on my 2nd chara 😔
oohhh
thats a good idea
ima do that
You'll lose abit of gil due to taxes
Don’t forget to consider tax yeah
its ok i dont really care about taxes
i just want to get like
20k on my 2nd character
so i can tp freely
wait i can't sell stuff without a retainer
since i havent unlocked them
💀
You could also progress the main campaign or do roulettes with that character
yeah its just im having instances where i have to walk where i could tp
but im broke
Too poor to afford housing is one thing. "Too broke to teleport" is an immediately fixable issue.
Literally do any roulette.
im level 14
If I want to move my GC I know I have to start from the lowest rank, does this include the squadron stuff to get up to captain too?
Then the first half of my sentence applies.
ye
can free trial players trade
no
nope
makes sense helps deal with bots
Walk
hello! so if i buy FF14 i get a free 30 day trial, but i'm reading online that i don't need to subscribe to do all the content before endwalker. is that true? i'd love to play everything up to endwalker and then subscribe eventually
once the free 30 days are over, you are required to pay for a sub in order to continue to play
if you dont want to pay for as long as possible, play the free trial until you reach the very end of post- heavensward
So, there's no "thirty day free trial", you've confused some terms.
When you buy the game, you get thirty days of free subscription time.
Buying the game means you can never do the free trial on that account again.
You are now a subscribing player.
So.
yeah i think i must just be confusing things. thanks for the clarification. i'll just wait till i can afford the sub
If you want the free trial up through HW critically acclaimed yadda yadda, only do the free trial.
You do not have to buy the game to play the free trial.
It's free. =)
no time limit
There are restrictions, of course. You can't use the marketboard, you have a maximum gil limit, can't start your own party-finders (but can be invited to parties), few others.
oh my god okay! ill google the free trial now and see whats up
o7
tysm 🙂
!faq freetrial
TYSM!
which wards are for private buyers again? Is it 13-24?
19+
oh wow. I had assumed half. Thank you
I need more spaces, where do I find retainers and how much is one?
retainer vocate in any major city, and the first two are free
Provided you're not on trial
and you have the chocobo saddlebag in that case
There was a period where you could use the retail client while having a Steam Copy. Hasn't been that way in a while though.
Thank you
I have so much stuff I wish I could get rid of some of my lvl 50 stuff but some of my jobs are still lvl 30
you are using gear sets yeah? because if so just get rid of the stuff you've out leveled and won't use in the future
if i'm starting a free trial from the website, can i eventually buy it on steam and log in or is that what you're mentioning here
You can
Yes, you can go from the PC trial to Steam
ok awesome. thanks for being so helpful 🙂
You can, but what I was referring to was that originally with the ARR release, you could buy the Steam version, then download the retail launcher from the website and use that to play. You can't do that anymore.
for challenge log purposes, if i sync ot 20 in anemos, will 18+ mobs count for the challenge log? like how companions and fates interact
You need 2 5 player parties and 1-8 people in a party for spectators
Kinda as it says
ok so i love my white mage robes and don't want to take them off, im lvl 61 now and loot gear is a lot better, is there a way i can keep the look of the white mage robes
'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.
That's really the entire purpose of the glamour system
"My low level gear looks awesome, but I have to equip higher for the stats"
does it use up the items, i dont mean the prisms, ive got 21 of those from somewhere, i mean will it destroy my robes
No
Only prisms get consumes
Use the glamour dresser if you essentially want to make it a permanent outfit for whenever you change gear
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
Cheaper on prisms
im glad there is a way, thanks for the help, now i just wonder if i glam over something that was a gift if they will get offended
Only if they're ultra mega anal
i heard dungeons started giving a lot more xp in ew. Is that only lvl 81+ dungeons or all dungeons?
i got given a set for lvl 60 by a friend, im whm and its very... tribal
That's to boost ilvl
Until you get enough poetics for shire
Since it's i270 and the best 60 gear available
We meme a lot that "glamour is the true endgame", so I don't see why anyone would be offended by you glamming gear.
they crafted it
And if you don’t like the gear, don’t glam it
i dont know if crafting is hard, it looked complex to me so i didnt try it, its the Bloodhempen Chestwrap of Healing set, i love the sentiment of the gift but would prefer it to look like my old robes
i think they'll understand
I'm 1000000% sure they couldn't give a shit about it
c:
Even if you tossed it out after replacing it with shire
Yeah, they're really not going to care.
They didn't give it to you for the look. They gave it to you so you would have stats.
is there a way to prevent your hotbar from changing when you use a fasion accesory
The mount action bar thing in the settings
ty
Just remember to toggle it back for solo duties
Cause that's what they use when you're mounted on something with unique actions
Does doing 13 expert dungeons in a row seem a bit excessive? About to do so
For what purpose?
Aphorism grinding, just need 1000 more tomes to get to ilv 590
Don’t burn yourself out, the gear isn’t going anywhere
I’d rather not do that, after all that would mean I would have to do over 100 battles
You could also hop on a hunt train, or do FATEs
But yes, 13 Expert dungeons in a row would be a little excessive, and not really the most efficient
You get 20 per round
That’s just 50 matches, and again you don’t need to get them all in a single day
I mean, if you want to spend just over 3 hours to get the tomestones, don't let us stop you.
How should I play as a summoner in Cc effectively?
Garuda AoE down on the crystal, Titan stun the enemy healer.
Crystal DC has a bad rep for raiding/tough endgame content?
Historically, yes. But it's not as bad as it used to be.
it doesn't, no.
crystal's ultimately more of a variety dc - people do do endgame content and savage but we do a bunch of other shit too.
As in what should I be doing, trying to stay in the crystal, or out of it trying kill everyone I see?
Up to you. Just play casual matches. A lot of PvP is very situational.
The biggest thing is to try not to get caught out of position or alone.
Stick with your team, and if someone marks an enemy, attack that enemy
Do you think it’s more beneficial to transfer to another dc if I’m looking to do savage/end game content?
Doesn't really matter tbh
It's possible to find endgame on Crystal
You'll find all the dcs have their fair share of issues trying to complete content
People still do endgame stuff on whatever DC you’ll end up on
You won't suddenly just kill everything by transferring
We're also getting DC travel Soon ™️
I heard they were making it one big server but maybe that was wrong
That is wrong
That's pretty wrong
The dcs being connected to each other within the same region doesn't mean it's a megaserver
There are still limitations
absolutely not. we do do endgame
ultimately it's late into the tier
I mean I do like the social stuff but I wanna be the very best that.. no one.. ever was…
Yeah, at this point in the tier it's going to be much more difficult to find learning groups on any server, regardless of datacenter.
Most are going to be clear groups
Bruh so like I reset my password and shit for my account and now my new password won’t work
Do I have to like wait a bit?
Looks like I’m gonna just have to lvl all jobs to 90 and wing it 😂
Generally speaking, you'll have better luck finding learning parties at the beginning of a tier. We're nearly at the end of one right now
Likewise, you're more likely to find statics recruiting at the beginning of a tier
It starts again, with a new patch or expansion?
Patch
Specifically even numbered patchs
So the next will be 6.2, which will be August-ish
Gives me to time to level and learn jobs
It's always prudent to have at least two different roles that you know inside and out
Thanks I appreciate it , will do
so im trying to meld a materia to my legs so i can finish the leatherworker lv 20 quest but i cannot meld. the melding requirement is lv 17 and im twenty. i did the quest to meld but i still cant get the materia to meld. am i missing something?
It means item level
The materia isn’t a low enough grade
1.) Do the pants you're trying to meld to have open materia slots
2.) Is the materia you're using the right level for that gear?
What materia are you trying to use?
You NEED a grade 1
You can only use a grade 1 on those
ohhh
All your materia is too high of grade
Read the materia
It says what ilvl gear needs to be to be melded with that materia
omg tysm i cant believe it was as simple as that
If I am in a FC as 2nd in command, and the leader has gone inactive, will it eventually pass leadership to me?
Theoretically, yes
The house is owned by the FC, so the house will be under your management as the new leader
What if I already have a FC house on my other character? I can have two houses on the same account like this?
^last question
That I'm not sure about
You can only bet on One of each house type per account
They're asking about if FC leadership is transferred to them
And the FC already has a house
Orange parse is the most desirable, correct?
Orange is like, the top 5% or something
100 is gold
99 is pink
95+ is orange
So it depends on what you believe you can achieve.
Purple is a reasonable expectation
Realistically, anything north of 50 is above average.
Then you just have the one FC house, and if you try to bet on another lot, you choose to relocate
So blues and up.
What is better to play for CC, casual or ranked?
So is purple like top 50%?
I just said blue.
Only matters for ranked rewards at the end of the season
sorry
Purple is like, top 20 or 30%
I read about harder content a lot but don't have much experience in it
75 is accurate.
100th percentile = gold
99th percentile = pink
95-98th percentile = orange
75-94th percentile = purple
50th-74th percentile = blue
25-50th percentile = green
sub 25th percentile = gray
Idk how percentile work but does 100th percentile only have 1 person?
the top 1%
Percentile is just a fancy way of saying "everyone in this percentage group"
So if your parse is 72 than you performed better than 72% of people who did the thing you did in that two week span.
That's also why, if you go to the record of fights you've parsed, you'll see two numbers: the parse at the time you locked it in, and how it currently stands.
So 99% means people who did better than 99% of playerbase and dat 1% is the 100th percentile?
I was confused thinking 100% should be only 1 person cuz "you set the standard" but now i get it. Ty
Yes. That would be the correct understanding of how percentile works.
99th percentile is better than 99% of other players in that content
Well, 98%, technically.
Is there a way to move the party list to the center of the screen?
in the UI edit mode, yes
Hud editor
it's in the options
HUD layout
Basically moves 99% of ui
HUD Layout?
In system yes
In the System menu
Yes, im sorry. Ive been in it. All i seem to be able to move is the toolbars
You can move pretty much any element of the HUD in Layout mode
never mind. I hadnt clicked on system
Or click on all/whatever the first button is and it shows everything movable
Yo like seriously it ain’t letting me login with my new password does anyone have an idea?
then you didn't reset the password on that account
or you're logging in with the wrong email/username.
either you didn't do it right, or SE's servers are being shit and you have to wait a bit
either way, no one here can really help with account access problems
Server issue is less likely, since they did ask about this issue a couple of hours ago.
So more likely it's as Sen said, and either the password to that account wasn't the one that was reset, or they're using the wrong credentials.
I have a slight niche that it’s the servers because I logged in to my account on the square Enix account website with the new password and it worked
Question the mounts from playing extreme can we get them from unsyne???
yep
Yes
SE account and Mogstation/XIV account are not the same thing
So I'm doing unsyne the second coil of bahamut turn 4 and I can't beat it solo. Because of that death buff
The doom or dragon debuffs
What level are you?
Doom
You cleanse that
Just turn lvl 90 on my white mage lol
In the white puddle
I don't think I get a chance to even see the white puddle tbh
I originally played the game on my PS4 a few months ago and I felt like returning to the game on my ps5 and it straight up asks for my square enix password shit so like honestly bruh idk anymore
So basically take my time with the fight
Yes
Cuz to be honest as I play I could knock down the bosses health pretty low so I'm going to have to go slower on battle in the Boss then
Soloing T9 is all about controlling dps and knowing when to burst
Cause once dragons spawn on the outside and begin firing their debuffs you have very little time left
Ah alright cool thanks
Cause their debuffs will kill you since you'll get double ice and die
are you trying to sign into the game with your email? if so then you cant do that. it has to be your username.
It says "Square Enix" but it means the username and password you use on the Mogstation
^ that too.
Where can I get the augmented gear for level 90 from??
See pins
what augmented gear
You can't buy it as augmented gear
I'm trying to look for much info for and Walker as I can and I just know the question main quest scenario quest line I'm not sure what else I should be trying to do as far as I question why not
It tells you how to upgrade the crafted gear
Nah it’s the username for some reason it has it automatically typed in
and you can log into mogstation yes?
if so then i don't know how to fix your issue
That’s the account you linked
Unless you ask support to change it, that’s the only one you can use
and you should contact support
Damn
im stuck slow walking how do I undo it
Numpad /
Check your keybinds and see what you have registered to RP walk

If a new player wanted to invest in BLU Mage at some point, and didn't know that the Hildibrand Quests gave some useful spells, what advice would you give to them so that they don't make the mistake that I did and ignored the Hildabrand Quests until finishing MSQ completely?
is there a way to clean up the UI, as in all the names and healthbars stuff? Did my first few dungeons and it all looks like a hot mess while healing.
Character configuration > name display
you can change names to initials etc but pretty much everything else there is essential information
That if they want to level up blue mage then Hildibrand gives spells?

BLU basically kinda mandates you do everything
Yeah, I wish I had known that a couple years earlier
if u want everything...
iirc outside missile, the hildibrand specific stuff doesnt have much use?
Its funny, to efficiently grind Bozjan Relics without spending too much time in Bozja, I gotta first grind BLU Mage
i think going from 1 to having the core spells took me like a little less than a month?
it's not too bad, specially if u focus on it
while blu does murder fates quickly
you really don't need to have blue to do bozjan relics efficiently at all
doing it with a phys range or whatever high lvl job you have isn't that much worse
or even leveling an alt job in bozja while getting your relic mats is perfectly efficient
since you're killing two birds with one stone
Eh, my time investment in BLU will eventually pay off. I was just used to how Eureka did it to where you were pretty much done with each relic by the time you get done with each area. BLU will pay off anytime there's anything to do with overworld relics.
And that nice Morbol Mount is a bonus, too
yes but you do not have to level blue
is my point
you are doing it because you want to, and it has other benefits
@cursive abyss just a friendly reminder that this channel isn't meant for musings and discussion
just questions
Oh yeah, I learned that the hard way when I mistook this channel for another.
No need to tell me twice 😛
Why is the Morbol Mount so sought after, in that case?
It’s rare and people like morbols, plain and simple
it requires synced savage clears of old content
and i'm not telling you twice this is the only time i'm telling you, since you're still doing it
Guys, I'm going to buy the new expansion with crysta, but I can't see the total after tax after I select crysta as an option - is there no tax when I do pay as crysta?
dont you have to , buy the crysta first? wouldn't tax be covered then?
No because it’s a 1:1 transaction
is there a leveling guide for crafters 80 to 90?
Weekly Custom deliveries, daily company turn in and leves
Same stuff as before, just remove ishgard restoration and beast tribes
is leveling and gearing through dungeons and MSQ better than bothering with all the side quests?
Yes
Side quests are shit
MSQ is MANDATORY
To do literally anything
To the point your level means nothing if story isn't done
whats the best way to level other than roulette and MSQ? I want at least one of each role, and Im trying to get tank up with my others, but its getting pretty tedious, its like 25 levels below everything else
!faq altlvlguide
!faq altlvlguide
or should I do roulette even if I have the daily reward already
No
Never do that
You get literally nothing
And RNG will never give you high level dungeons
Daily roulettes after you use up the daily bonus is the exact same as directly queueing for whatever you’d get
(Besides the Adventurer in need bonus, but the experience that gives is negligible)
oh, I thought there was still a bonus, just not a great one, thanks for the tip
ah, must have been thinking of the adventurer in need, makes sense

Do retainers retain job levels? In other words, if I have a 90 botanist, and I change them to a miner, then later change back to a botanist, will I have to level it up from 1 or will it still be 90? The warning boxes say it'll reset, but they also say if you change it with a job stone (like if it's a 30 marauder, turning it into a warrior) will reset its level and it definitely doesn't reset when doing that.
No
Ahh, shame. Thanks.
They reset whenever you fully charge their class
Appreciate it, nearly tried it and would've learned the hard way lol
whats a good food to give to your chocobo, health or atk
So I’m trying to transfer to coeurl to be in my friends fc but it says I’m ineligible to transfer, I’m in no fc, ls, don’t have a house/retainer.. I’m confused
Do you have unclaimed items in your mailbox?
No i cleared it all I had in there were the messages
Did you play before 6.0?
Yes, I started my character/account in 2020 I think that was HW
Go to the calamity salvager and take out all the belts they have.
I'm new to tanking and I think I feel like I keep messing up. My main class is a SAM and I'm currently leveling PLD. Any tips for feeling more comfortable in the role?
Retrieve all belts?
Yep
Just take your time in the low level dungeons, let people know you’re new, take advice if offered
It says like old unobtainable belts or sum
You can also do duty support until you’re comfy trying with others
Correct, take all of them out and do whatever you want with them
It still didn’t work 🤦🏾♂️
Are you a tenant of someone else’s house?
I’ve had this character longer than 90 days I did create it in Zalera, when it was preferred so could it be locked
No I’m not
Then I recommend sending in a support ticket to see what the issue might be.
Don't think I missed anything on the list of restrictions.
I sent an ticket in, I’m sure it’ll be a long turn around but thanks for the help
What's duty support?
Essentially a system that lets you do MSQ required dungeons with NPCs
Check in the duty menu
Currently only covers ARR leveling story and SHB/EW story content
the major patches for Endwalker will incrementally add the missing ones in over time.
I'd prefer if they just do the marker rework first, instead of everything having to wait for Trust development and major dungeon redesigns.
Couldn't be that hard in comparison, and people will immediately benefit from the more consistent experience in DF.
Like stack markers and such? They are also there too though
they're doing them at the same time
I saw a tank buster marker in brayflox
The change wasn't big it was only the last boss
They are doing both.
Duty Support is accompanied by marker and dungeon reworks for duties from the expansion it's out for
ARR was first
Post-ARR is next
Then HW
Then STB
And I assume those will be accompanied by standardizing some shb duties as well to catch them up to post-shb duties
Objectively, a rework of the dunegon mechanics' visual presentation requires a rework of the dungeon mechanics themselves, since you have to tie the ability to the correct package suite so it calls up the correct visual effect.
So it's simpler, and better for the team, to tackle one dungeon at a time, and not all the dungeons and then all the dungeons over again.
Because only the last boss was actually reworked IIRC
That's what I said 
Yeah you said the markers. I mean only the last boss was changed mechanically out of the 3.
That's probably when they decided to also throw in the necessary markers for that boss.
That's not how that process works.
Either way, this topic is a discussion piece, not a help desk item any longer.
For DRK materia, do I go CRT>SKS> ??
Crit > SkS to preferred GCD > DH in remaining slots
so how much sks do I need?
whatever you find comfortable, DRK doesn't need a specific amount
If you feel like you're fast enough, yes.
Most DRK builds are anywhere from 2.40 to 2.50 GCD
usually 2.45
1267 sks is how much GCD? how do I convert
What's the fastest way to get allied seals?
!xivmath rspeed 2.45

649 sks for 2.5
Just look at the recast on your skill

that cant be right>?
yep 649 looks about right for 2.45
I have double that...
I really dont need it then
should go more crit

Blue Mage's Masked Carnivale has weekly challenges which give a lot of Allied Seals, though this requires BLU at level 50 and having various spells learned.
completing all 3 weekly missions gives 550 Allied seals.
Is there a way to mute someone without blacklisting them?
is it slow to level up blue mage?
Very fast with a friend to help
but only takes like a day at the absolute most if solo.
nope, unless external plug-ins can do that.
UGH alright. Thanks for the answer
Currently post-ARR, is it worth saving or spending poetics? Was thinking of buying the Magitek spear...
You should spend some since they cap at 2k also its probably the best gear available to u atm
Get the ironworks gear for your main before anything
Spend them. They're easy to get back with your daily roulettes.
Main Scenario Roulette alone is about 500 or so poetics for about 20 minutes of work (not counting queue time)
oh awesome, thanks all
@obsidian patio my friend was in brynhildr not coeurl and I just switched
Can’t do anything about it, other than transfer again at some point
Not worth saving, just doing MSQ and Alliance Raid roulette every day is 670 poetics at minimum (more if you get Prae (+50) or someone in your party is on first clear (+80 I think))
Promote someone to the highest rank.
they might need to be the 2nd highest rank in the FC
If you mean the GC your free company buys their FC Actions from, I don't think that's possible to change.
All that would change is location, anyways.
nm I found it, ty
i havent played ffxiv in forever but i wanted to maybe play with some freshie friends, i made my acc on steam a while back which is kinda wonky with steam. im not sure if its best to just start on a square enix acc or keep going.
There’s no real difference between the two
yea
I just remember alot of people saying a se account makes things alot smoother
and its awful trying to recover a acc
basically the exact same
you still need a Square Enix account to play on steam
steam just acts as a launcher
Might need to reset if i cant remember my pass, ik this games password recovery is horendus
its just paying the trial through steam
i remember that being rough
subscription*
Not really, you still do it through the mogstation.
Just do the forgot password form on mogstation, if you’re having log in issues
You just have the added option to pay with your steam wallet.
remembered it
if its the right acc
i remember i had 2
one got messed up on mog station
other was fine
and whats the diffrence from buying complete editon
vs just the standard

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).
But like if you haven’t finished trial, I wouldn’t register it immediately
oh no im not
if i remember my acc is on post aar
arr
i was thinking about restarting my acc for friends but
arr is a bit of a snooze fest
You can always level up a new class and/or use the new game plus system
so you can replay the story without having to redo all your settings and hud/keybinds
i forgot i can just use a dif class
got my right acc tho
hey i cant find where to change text language
Client language is done at the launcher screen
It’s on the launcher before signing in
I think it's the bottom left or right?
yes yes yes thx
not many options on the launcher so it should be quick to find
i created a cat character then i saw a higghlander and i said she got some thicc thighs and people said yeah thats why people call her a thighlander
so now im gonna go create on
wich one would be the highlander/tthighlander?
Hyur, Highlander is a clan option
the one i saw had way bigger thighs tho
is 320k in the golden saucer money alot
i cant remember
Nope
damn
considering there's a handful of items above 500k, not particularly
like the mount that's basically a walking gold saucer for 2m MGP
ah ok ok i got the thighs now
fair
320k is a bit tho
it is if you think about how long it takes to get that much 
do we have any top hats for healers, similar to the evenstar set?
Theres the make it rain campaign on rn tho so you get extra MGP at the moment
there any reason not to sell all the random low level armory gear I get from dungeons?
If you don't see yourself leveling up a class that can use it fairly soon, then you can safely sell it
Not sure if it's the only one, but there's the Plague Doctor's hat, though it's undyeable and I'm not sure if the mask can be hidden with /visor
!iglam plague doctor's mask
From my cursory search, the only other healer-usable top hat is the clown's hat, though that isn't currently available until next halloween event puts it on the cash shop
That one also has a clown nose attached to it, which I also can't remember if /visor hides it.
Yeah you can ditch the nose
Fair warning if you dye the hat, the nose also dyes that color
How hard is unreal ? This guide made it seems like it is just slightly easier extreme fight
It’s just an ARR ex, no new mechanics
You and the boss are lvl 90 now
hmm, so I need to progress through the MSQ to unlock my Job at 30?
yep
!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.
geez, I'm like 7 quests behind on the MSQ. 😫
say i make a PF, and then person A joins. person A acted like a dick, so i kicked them. is it true that this act of kicking prevents A from rejoining my PF?
Blacklist
You’d need to blacklist to stop them from rejoining
This does nothing for DF queues of course
and it has to be the PF lead that blacklists person A, or can it be anyone?
If It’s your party, you have to blacklist them
Is there an orchestron roll for the song thats in the heavensward trailer?
How many boss hp percent does melee lb3 usually deals?
!faq limitbreak
Resources by Allagan Studies
Limit Break Explained
Shadowbringers Limit Break Video
Furst's in-Depth Limit Break Doc
@boreal storm @obsidian patio it does prevent them from rejoining your PF for a brief period of time
Blacklisting makes it permanent
are there any special rewards for filling out your hunting log, or is it just the xp all the way?
Except GC hunting log it's just XP and some achievements
Which song? An entire medley happens in the trailer
Exp and a special glam ring with the job logo on it but that’s it.
Ring with the class
as in the medley as orchestrion
The trailer is multiple songs
On the topic of blacklist, if say I'm the PF leader but another member in party has blacklisted "Randon brd AAA", does that prevent AAA from joining or is it only people in my blacklist that can't join
That’s on the cash shop, it was a rising reward
wtf even orchestrion is sold on cash shop
Seasonal rewards go on the shop after a year, no exceptions
Only the PF leader blacklist

Is there a way to make it so when I click on the mgp in that gate with the samurai to prioritize the mgp instead of the players in front?
Hey gang, need a little help & was wondering if anyone could help. Been replaying MSQ from the very beginning & while in NG+, my current MSQ quest would show up alone in duty list & on the map. Now I'm playing on ps5 & hud is completely different & I have to go through the journal to see quest objectives. Ive went back on Ps4 & copied all my UI settings from it, & not only is it still a no go, but it has also disappeared from my ps4 version as well.. Any idea how to fix this? Any & all help would be greatly appreciated.
Use the confirm button instead
Go into hud layout make sure the duty list is enabled
If it's there but an empty box and the label is purple then you've disabled it by accident
@steep egret thanks, I'll give that a try a post if it works for me. I hope so because man, it's annoying as all hell manually clicking the journal every time
does anyone know how i can reclaim my seasonal items if i accidentally deleted them
Calamity salvager
which tab is it
I dunno I just click until I find it
Could be quest rewards ,if there is no event menu
I can check in maybe 30 min if you can't find it
yup, cant find it
if anyone can tell me which house has a journeyman salvager please
did a quick google, is it still accurate that the tanks are S-tier for heaven on high?
If you could tell us what event it was from, we may be able to help more
only gunbreaker is S-tier, the other tanks are a-tier
isn't the meta like mch
for potd yes
for hoh no
its still a tier but its not nearly as good as it is in potd
RDM and SMN are S-tier rn with GNB
WHM if you had to pick a healer
No lilies but that Stone IV damage hoo boy
heyo question about how buying expansions interacts with the free trial
Endwalker is currently on sale on PS for 3 more days, and I'm so far still on my free trial. I'm probably planning to buy EW, but heres the deal
- do i need the starter edition to even be able to access expansion content?
- if i bought endwalker rn in order to save 30% on it via sale, would that instantly end my free trial (forcing me to buy a subscription)? or would it still let me play the free trial until i hit lvl 60?
yes, and no
you can buy complete now, then activate it later
not for playstation
oops
you have to activate it when you start up the game after buying it
i wasnt gonna buy complete i think
just endwalker itself
Not sure how buying the expansion without starter edition works for PS, so I can't tell you about that
if you had any interest in playing the game fully and are willing to commit to paying sub so you can take advantage of the sale
attempt to buy only expansion
see what happens. worst case is that you have to buy starter
yeah im considering it cus the 30% off, even if it fails, is still worth it
considering id pay nearly the same price for EW+starter combined, compared to EW+starter without the sale
I do know some games on PS4 refuse to sell you dlc if you don’t own the game itself so might be what it does here
in theory it says im required to buy the starter edition first
very true
If you can buy then I’d say go for it if that seems like a good deal to ya
Is Complete also on sale? Could bite the bullet and take the sub time if you wanna, the social amenities are nice to have at HW and beyond
oh god
weird grey area
there's an endwalker- collectors edition but i dont think its that
personally i suggest people don’t get that unless they want to splurge
which one is better to get resplendent tools or skysteel?
ok complete edition is the same price as endwalker collector's xd
is that basically a combination of starter+ all expansions or somethin
They’re both glam, so it doesn’t matter
ok actually thank you for suggesting that, after adding 1 to 1 its actually most profitable for me to just buy complete edition straight away
recently made an alt and bought a job boost, but poetics arent unlocked? ive done dungeons that shouldve rewarded them especially with first time bonus but it still says i have 0 and battle tab in currency is grayed out. anyone know how to unlock it?
Story boost and job boost are different
er sorry i meant i bought both
You have to beat ARR
Show it, that doesn’t seem right
Have you actually done a lvl cap duty? That would give poetics?
i should have first time bonus for anything in ew right/
and poetics for base reward but i never got anything
What’s the best way to make Gil?
if you boosted then no not necessarily
endwalker level cap content gives astro/aphorism, leveling content doesnt give anything, poetics are from previous expansion level cap content
lol, just found, its the Recompense Officer, literally right next to the Calamity Salvager (at least in Limsa), that has all the event items
They’re right by eachother so people just conflate the two
i thought it was still poetics for like level 81-89 dungeons, i guess not tho?
no
uhh, levelling dungeons dont give poetics
i think you get some if someone is new to the dungeon
Hi I’ve a question about housing furniture item. I can’t figure out what it is - can anyone help?
ask the question and see
These cushions
dont ask about asking, just. ask 🙂
thanks
i thought id be new though considering i only boosted to 80
XD
ig i ll try running a roulette that says it gives tomes and see if that fixes it
Ehh I’d just Unsync an optional lvl 50 dungeon, it’d be faster
o tru i didnt think of that lol
i just queued for alliance roulette since i was guaranteed crystal tower lol
what quests do you need to finish to unlock lvl 80 scrip gear?
Unlock the lvl 80 scrip exchange in eulmore

Thank you!!
It’s weird that on ff14housing item list you can find tjem
Cheers pingu!
Hi. I have several questions as I’m looking to get back to the game. So reason I stopped playing was because I travel for work a lot but as of late I’ve had more time to myself. I used to have it on the PS4 and now have the PS5 and thinking of getting a PC as well. My question is, is the game cross-save/cross progression?
yes
one account, works everywhere
though if you move to PC, you will have to buy the game again
And will have to buy expansions individually for each license
huh well doing an alliance raid unlocked it, i guess first time bonus doesnt if you bought boost
Because technically you beat all the story required stuff up to lvl 80
o i mean first time in an ew dungeon doesnt count either
so i have a question. can you own both an apartment and a house? I currently have a bid for the last available empyreum plot on midgard and was wondering if buying an apartment would mess with that at all?
Ya, You can have both
Ah I see, for right now I’m thinking of just doing PS5. Do I have to go to the website to link ps5 since it’s a new system or can I automatically just login as if I were doing it from PS4?
thank
if its the same playstation account, i dont think you have to do anything
There’s something for transferring in the store iirc
Also is there someone that has update beginner guides y’all can refer me to? I feel like there’s a lot of new stuff and don’t want to overwhelm myself either by not knowing what to do
i just realised ur name is irish ... bloody potato??
Thank you I appreciate it

Something you will want to do when upgrading to the PS5/PC is to save your character and system settings at the character select screen from the PS4. That will let you transfer your hud/hotbar/keybinds and much more to those platforms without needing to remake them by hand
These are accessed at the character select screen by clicking on the cog near your character name and at the top right of the screen
Does mount speed increase fly speed as well?

I see
yeah i thought the same for a while until lyon or kael went "bruh no it aint"
yeah me and my friend tested it ourselves too by hand
what the fuck is the point of that then lmao
will it be avaialble for private someday

no flying until HW
so mount speed good in arr zones
no one mount walks when they can fly
the thing is that mount speeds were added in SB
and you can't get the 2nd mount speed for zones without doing hunts, which is basically after the leveling story
at which point you can fly
unknown
which is faster?! than these level 2 speeds
there was no flying in arr zones until 2020 lol
SE has stated that they might adjust FC/Private ward distribution to fit demands, but no definites were stated.
It's the first attempt of FC-specific wards.
They likely expected more FCs to buy houses, which is who housing was originally intended for.
this one is in shiro
it used to be private house but the dude offline for long
why cant stay private
donno what they thinking

I mean, tome stuff is free
And classical wouldn’t cost that much
for my first level 90
You can get a set of 560 left side in Sharlayan.
Classical gear is pretty cheap at this point
I think a full set on Aether is around 400k-ish?
And 560 accessories from the level 90 duties, but yeah, 580 shouldn't be too too expensive either.
And once you get enough gear to get into Pandae, you can pretty much just farm 580 there as well if you don't feel like buying it.
i primarily just want to make overworld stuff easier
I'd say i560 job gear with the classical weapon and accessories
i've got quite a bit of msq left (in the 87s) but am level capped
Then yeah just upgrading classical later is a fair deal
good mix of free and cheap
pretty sure the only non msq locked 90 gear is the 580 stuff
Well, you get a set of 560 for free near the end of the MSQ so you definitely don't want to spend much on left side stuff.
Classical Weapon at minimum will be a good boost to damage
I would really just stick with Cryptlurker assuming you have that, and maybe buy some accessories.
If you're going to buy anything, probably make it 580 classical.
An entire set of classical is still rather reasonably priced, all things considered.
I've spent around the same amount for a set as I had for a treasure hunt material glam item...
Best gear for blue mage on lvl 70 is mirage?

To compare gear and its effect on your DPS, use the sim sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tzEkmJsl85o8lHIi9O_E1fvJEvOGZRZOkexnR6OSBIw/edit#gid=1623956368
In ideal scenarios, Crit/Det sims about .5% higher over SpS/Det. SpS/Det can feel better to play and is a great pick for all three roles. Pick whatever set suits your playstyle, and play with that.
Crit/Det set (Slightly higher damage): https://etro.gg/gearset/3db73aab-2968-4eb7-b392-d524f5a1b783

SpS/Det set (no Eureka pieces): https://etro.gg/gearset/4c7ee1cc-027b-4391-8092-7075a578d90b

alas, third party tools only 😦
is it normal for lvl 50 mobs to spawn in the low level areas outside of Limsa? 💀
yeah those are hunt monsters, which are part of level cap content
Most of the time they're safely away from most low level content, and can be walked around
They're usually pretty easy to tell based on size/uncommon models so there's not much confusion.
...besides the couple of B-rank ones that look just like regular overworld enemies.
B ranks are passive tho, so just don’t hit them and you’re fine
oh, it was definitely big and noticeable, and angry. Getting a closer look was a mistake
just as long as you don't mess with Odin
Hi I might have a little stupid question here but... where do I download final fantasy 14 endwalker if I have already purchased it?
Context: My game has stopped working and I need to uninstall and re-install it. And I can't find a download page outside of the Free Trial
Also, as a side question: Does re-installing mean I need to start all my hotbars over from scratch? 🥲
ugh where did you have it before? Steam?
Windows
& I'd think your settings should save
