It will be fine
in duty finder no one expects anyone to be amazing dw
Don't worry, in any normal difficulty content people will barely have any expectations.
And if it's your first time somewhere, just say so at the start!
The this is some player's first time is the main indication to not put too much expectation
i see
Yup, or anytime someone's watching cutscenes at the start.
Ppl be more likely to judge sprouts in Endwalker than judge you for not having it
judge sprouts in ew?
If you have a sprout in ew, high chance you just boosted
"Hey, you shouldn't have rushed so much if you're still making mistakes like this!"
Also not knowing mech then take dmg is fine 
It's mostly an experience thing
Not doing proper dmg that I will slap someone for 
at least i got commendation often after finish the run
You mean double weakness
Why are some houses unavailable to place bids on?
They're for fcs
I'll show you
It is true that I'm missing some money, but I figured it would say how many bids are on it at least.
Cause it was freed up during the lottery period
≪Treatment of Emptied Plots≫
Plots that are emptied during the lottery period will be marked as currently unavailable, and will become available for purchase during the next lottery period.
There is roll over time
From the post on lottery system
If the DSU ilvl sync is 605, does that mean it'll get a teensy-bit easier during 6.2 when we have access to gear >600 (since atm only weap is 605)?
probably not just yet, but later when we get 605 dungeon gear
if you go in like 610 gear it will sync to 605 stats plus disable all melds
so you'll be losing a fair amount of stats
Well get. 605 dungeon gear in 6.3
And when ew relics become customizable they'll be better too
Due to how ilvl sync works, if gear isn't high enough ilvl the secondary sub stat won't be hitting the stat cap
Thus you'll lose stats vs melded synced gear
is it possible to make use of gardening in the apartment?
so there are only single pots? no double pot?
Only single
ok thanks though
Do pots in your apartment lol
What's the command to pull up alt leveling guide?
faq level i think?
!faq altlvlguide
Lol just found it also ty
no
how many people do I need to clear raids in the last expansion?
8 or 24, depends on the raid
Proper raids are 8man
are trials raids?
no
24man alliance stuff is casual content
trials are trials
Trials are just easy mode single boss fights with 8 people
what about the trials with 4 people?
they're pretty much "raids", like a raid tier basically has 4 trials
just different difficulty
Don't exist after the 3 og primals
Trials are always 8 people with exception of ifirit Garuda and titan normal
is there a setting that automatically skipps dialogue after a while? Because I just had a cutscene where it happened instead of the usual me needing to press something and I don't like that.
press spacebar when in a cutscene
Some later cutscenes auto advance on their own regardless if auto advance is on or not
some are automatic, its just set by the devs
you can adjust the speed of auto progression or just have it click through
or that too
anyone experienced infinite loading screen during EW melee role quest before?
Sounds like a you problem
how much actual dmg the fairies give in eureka? is it %?
Hi
How do i bind my character information here?
^^ Check the kupobot spam channel pins
Hey uh, if I turn in custom deliveries on a maxed crafter, do I get both purples AND white scrips or...?
yes
open the delivery window on a 90 crafter and you'll see different rewards than when leveling
White scrips are guaranteed. If 90, you also get purple scrips. If below, you get exp instead.
for DRK when should I use grit?
so im on the parting glass quest, and it says that several cutscenes will play and it will take a while, how long are we talking about ? like around 30 minutes ?
it's your tank stance, so always.
i see thank you
unless you're in a 2 tank duty and the other tank puts on their stance first
45-ish for all of them.
i see thank you
ah, ending ARR with half a movie worth of cutscenes I see 
Grab a snack and buckle up
will do o7
and some water, dont want you guys to dehydrate
Do i need to finish all the ARR MSQ content to get to Heavensward's capital city? My paladin is at level 59 but i haven't completed ARR yet so i can't do the class quests
yeah, you gotta finish it completely + the missions that got pathed in before you get to heavensward
there's always patch content between each expansion
do you need gatherers levelled to do deliveries
gatherers or crafters
custom deliveries? no
either or?
Is there a minimum level needed?
Either or. If you’re a crafter, supplies are at a vendor. If you’re a gatherer, you just gather what they want.
depends on the npc
uhh lets say m'naago
first delivery npc is 50+
55 bare minimum iirc
i think thats a delivery npc
mnaago is 60 i think
is the best way to level up a second class duty finder?
!faq altleveling
Im a high school student in HK with no credit card. Should I buy the non-steam version of ff14 or the steam version?
r/ffxiv: A community for fans of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, which includes a free trial that includes the entirety of "A …
Hong Kong
doesn't matter hype
thank ya
there's no difference
yeah but regional pricing
then buy steam if it's cheaper
Ill go with that cause thats the only way i can buy the expansions
But I heard the non-steam version is cheaper in terms of sales
I would say it’s cheaper. More like, in the past we’ve seen a handful more sales off of steam than on.
I haven’t played CC in a while but just noticed the tier thing at the end is suddenly HUGE. Did I accidentally change something on my HUD settings or is this a new thing?
food doesn't affect roulette bonuses, yeah?
The end is repeatable and they don't want you to be able to make trophy crystals as easily after you've finished the battle pass
food only affects monster kills
Huh? I’m talking about the thing that shows up after a match with pts/stars
Hey, do I need to make the 50-60 quest items myself? Materials to make them are just about the same as just buying them already made (HQ of course).
They’re still there
Under 60 material and tokens
I cant find heavensward stormblood or shadowbringers on steam
Starter edition includes Heavensward. Stormblood and Shadowbringers are packaged with Endwalker.
Oh thats great
if you buy the latest expansion, it will come with all previous
which is great they do that
it isn't like ESO where each expansion has its own, individual story, FF14 expansions are just continuations of the main story
so buying stormblood then doing endwalker wold make absolutely no sense, for instance (or worse, in reverse)
hello guys! im doing the zeta relic right now and im infusing the sphere scroll
but im pretty much confused ._. how does this works?
i can only put lvl 1 materia in there, but they seems to be super expensive, and i dont feel like im doing right
You can spiritbond them yourself but that’s longer
lvl 1 materia first up to 11
so you normally just put 75 materias 1 into it?
No
then it switches to 2 and so on
But yeah you dump materia into the thing. You have to go from grades 1 through 4.
Each piece of materia needs a piece of alexandrite to add it to the scroll though so you’ll need to get hold of those as well.
yeah got the 75 i supposed to need
And now you hope RNG doesn’t screw you over
failing doesn't take alexandrite
I learned this after failing 96% like 3 seperate times in one relic
what's the fastest spam for 'high-level duties as tank' achievements? garuda ex?
do i have to do 6 specific fates to fill the six slots in one area of shared fates
Just finished ARR, is there a way for me to spend Allagan Tomestone Poetics? I got 830/2000 and don't want to loose any
theres a vendor in mor dhona
Now that you beat the base game, vendors have now spawned in all three cities. Use the map to look for the blue bag with star icon, or the big crest above the NPC itself. And yeah Mor too
thanks
They’re all near the main aetherite of the cities
Mor’s is in a stand with three different sellers near the middle
do they all have a different assortment or ?
The same between the same expansion era
Mor dhona/starting cities share the same items
Sundry splendors is just everything in 1 place and simple menu
whats a good set to get being level 80 and not done w shadowbringers as WAR
Scaevan
Your level doesn't matter, you gear for your story level
Scaevan lasts to the lv75 dungeon then dungeon and story gear places it until finishing shadowbringers to get your job gear then cryptlurker
guys somehow I cannot find my aether compass. Is there any way I can get it again?
Duty > collection
im now in the light phase of the zodiac relic
... i was checking online
is rly 7 light per every aurum vale?
do i have to run it 285 times...?
i found that it is 48points in other website
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Zodiac_Zeta_Weapons/Quest should be helpful and it's 48 points if you get it in a bonus window if not it's 24 points per run
i dont understand why there is such a hullabaloo about housing, do people really care for their own house that much?
Some do, yes.
tbh i don't really care for it ever but half the people i know are maniacs for it
and then half of that are really uptight and snobbish about being "house owners"
ty 4 the answers
its just a thiing of people really like it and people who don't care but it sucks for people who like it since its so limited
mostly everything in this game is attainable
but housing is limited
as crafter a house is nice to own to crossbreed stuff, other people use it for their roleplaying etc.
btw is collectables faster than diadem for lvling gatherers, its been a while since i lvled them but a friend was asking and i never used it when i lvld
leves/collectibles are faster for gathering leveling, diadem is more of a thing if you want to turn off your brain and gather mindless
and you don't need to change gear a lot in diadem
is castrum in bozja still on the 1 hour timer as it used to be?
allow friends, is there any chat command to reset the duty? so we instant Q or do it again?
No, you have to exit the arena, open the menu, and hit Join again
which objectively takes as long as it takes for everyone to exit the arena
alright ty friends, hv a great day
About how long roughly does it take to go from 70 to 80 with RPR? I want my Enshroud 
about as long as any other job
Depends on the effort you want to put in on it. Daily roulettes are a good chunk (MSQ/Alliance/Leveling/Frontlines), you have access to Fae tribe quests at 70 which is a good 30% of a bar for three quests/day, and 71 gives you Bozja access if you've already unlocked it and want to run around doing fates/CEs.
And dungeon runs, obviously.
Does anyone even do Bozja anymore?
Yes.
hi loves, when is the next housing lottery period
i somehow missed this week and completely forgot 
tysm
i can’t believe i forgot
Hello new player. Does pvp give any important rewards?
should note that there are seasonal rewards
Define important
but you have time to get them if you want them
Where’s the npc for the rewards of the new tribal quests?
What are the seasonal rewards?
open the pvp profile and click series
Frontline Roulettes, which are daily, give a real hefty chunk of exp for the class you sign up for
But yeah pretty much cosmetic stuff mostly, not mandatory for much
Can I get pos?
They’re in the tribe area, you really can’t miss it
Guys, where can we re-watch the cutscenes in the game?
Bozja bad on rpr
I looked in journal but couldn't see it, I swear I did it before tho
The inn
Go to an Inn room, interact with The Unending Journey.
Thank you!
Not only is this wrong, it is functionally useless as it does not provide information on why it's supposedly "bad" on one class but not on any others.
However, entertaining the idea that "Reaper bad because DPS bad", the governing principle is the same for all classes: running as a solo DPS is going to cause you to have a bad time because you simply do not generate enough damage-based aggro compared to the groups running content around you to achieve any significant participation in area Fates. Ergo you want to be in a party.
No, I mean you don’t get Enshroud in Bozja, because it’s a quest reward
So it’s not gonna be fun
bozja doesnt give you job quest skills
Enshroud is like 90% of rpr’s kit
....right. And since the goal was to get to level 80 so the quest can be taken and the reward received upon completion, as noted by "how fast can I get to 80 because I want Enshroud", the discussion is purely one of leveling.
But just going ”bozja reaper bad” explains nothing and is discouraging
Touché
he meant that you would be playing at lvl 80 in bozja but wouldnt have enshroud so its meh
but if you dont know how enshroud plays anyway then its fine
And you'd be playing everything else without Enshroud as well so the point is moot.
.....which is why its meh
Regardless, this entire discourse is niggling over details of a question which was resolved over an hour ago.
yes but i wouldn't jump to conclusions on what someone means
also it's prefectly fine to run a solo dps in bozja
you can generate enough dmg
Is there any place on this server where I can trade
I don't know how trading mog station items between players works but I was wondering if thats a thing
you cant trade mog station items im pre sure
you just give them the code
but theres no trading on this server
and people usually dont trade mogstation items
where can I buy those buff for mettle in zadnor?
should be first npc left when you zone in
where does dancer job start?
Limsa Lominsa, short ways off from the main Aetheryte.
is anyone else's adventure plate just straight up broken?
cannot change portrait or even edit my privacy settings
I've just started the A Relic Reborn quest and am I'm going to have to pay for a weapon/someone to meld materia. Will it be a gil sink to complete? If so I might leave it for later (still in ARR patch quests)
I also cannot edit my adventure plate in general.
Yeah save previous expansion relics for when you actually finish the story
minimum, Zodiac relic costs 400k
whats the error
Understood, thank you. Jeez I only have 720k total I'll definitely leave it - thanks for the heads up
it just... doesnt change
that's not accounting for materia costs
you change your privacy settings and click confirm and when you check it again it didn't change?
Wow, yep. That can get abandoned for now, I'll go pick it up from Gerolt when/if I finish everything else
yes. It's almost like it's stuck. I can't edit privacy settings, edit plate design, or change my photo. I click confirm and it does nothing.
have you restarted your game
and adventurer plates are kinda jank rn
I indeed have
send in a ticket about it
as cerb said adventurer plates are basically in beta right now
Is there a way to track what houses you entered into lottery for
in your timers menu
Wack thanks
im playing THM and im level 23 and im just curious on why i do so little damage, im only doing around 26-40 damage is that normal and im just crazy or?
are you familiar with your rotation?
Probably gear
!faq blmleveling
i mean, he could also just be spamming blizzard 2 or something
lot of possible reasons why his damage is low
i use Fire 2 until i get 2 stacks and run out of MP then use Transpose and switch to Blizzard 2 until i get max again and then rinse and repeat
but maybe thats wrong?
yeah
ah....
don't use aoe when you don't need to
Not single target
fire 1 on single target
fire 2 on 2+ targets
Higher number =//= replacing old skill
transpose when you are out of MP in fire phase
so then same rotation just with Fire 1 and Blizzard 1?
Yes
yep
Again see faq
note that your rotation changes numerous times while leveling
please also see the FAQ when you learn fire 3
do retainer jobs change anything. like does it matter if i give it a healer tank dps job or nah
use thunder 1 on single target, try and keep it active at all times
No
k ty <3
i have only really played samurai so play THM is a little different
All combat retainers share a pool
all combat jobs are the same, but miner botanist and fisher are all different
thankfully there is a happy little picture that contains all rotations you use up to level 90
for BLM
yes i saved it when you sent it :) thank you
About to start leveling crafting jobs, what would be a good level to stop on per job to level the next?
Pet job?
Typo
I'd say every 5 levels for job quests
is there any way to view your glam dresser inventory without interacting with it
I want to know what I have so I dont buy duplicates
You only get skills from your job quests at level 63 and 65, so you can just cruise along to 60 without a care if you want
right click an item and hit search if you get a result in your dresser it means you already have it
coo, thanks
it's a good idea to get them all to 20
to unlock ishgard restoration
after that you can really just do whatever you want
I would suggest getting one job to 60 as fast as possible so you unlock custom deliveries
then you can park all other jobs at 55 so that they can do customs too
custom deliveries are weekly so optimally you would want a job to 60 by tuesday so you can cash in on this week's deliveries
Does Delubrum always make you go solo if you wait long enough?
Was hoping for a party and it randomly made me go solo
the queue will automatically pop at 10 minutes
and includes everyone who is currently queued
Christ
so your best bet is to find a party on PF and queue together
rather than to try and solo queue
but your 8 man party will still have to wait out the full 10 minutes
so i'd suggest having something else to do or play while you're waiting
only way to get it faster is if there's 24 people in the queue
i thought they changed the beast tribe quests to be called "tribal quests" or is that later?
6.2.
6.1 updated parts of the UI, 6.2 will do the rest
finally (shb spoilers) ||dwarves aren't beasts anymore kek||
Yes they are 
Is there any use for green and grey armour/weapons, like idk, something having to do with crafting professions, or should I just get rid of those and move on?
Color doesn't really determine value, only mostly source. Outdated (lower item level) gear can be safely discarded or sold, unless you want to hold onto it for glamour purposes.
more specifically, it's suggested that you either exchange outdated gear for GC seals or desynth them
discarding or selling is probably the worst value you can get out of them
but also depends if you care about the desynth mats or GC seals
and if you have access to them
But yes, by "sell" I did mean GC seal turn-ins or (again assuming you have access to it) Doman Enclave Restoration donations
Vendoring items to general merchants is a horrific loss of value.
the GC npc only offers the deliveries from crafting jobs, is there a quest attached to being able to trade them?
Sort of. It's tied to your GC rank, which you'll need to raise to 2nd LT to be able to do Expert Deliveries.
ok, thanks

yeah i am
i was able to log in to start download last night
now i cant get in
idk
Are the tribe quests just like a daily way of getting extra exp?
Yes
Coolcoolcool
And mounts and minions and triple triad and materia and sometime emotes and story
Oh I'm not too fussed about the mounts etc for now. Is the story just a continuation of the opening quest(s) for each tribe?
Oh and glam
Yes, after you hit certain reputation thresholds
So no one has any idea what's going on with my launcher?
Ah okay I'll probably leave them for later

The TL;DR is every single GATE (every 20 minutes on the hour), your Challenge Log, Mini Cactpot, Giant Cactpot, Fashion Report, and whatever else you want to do.
Out on a Limb is if you want to keep it brainless and don't mind mind-numbing activities.
But Chocobo Racing is fun imo.
Do people still do A12S?
Oh no, im using pf, I wanna farm the books
You can duo it pretty easily
I see, ty
so i got a question, when every im playing the game my keyboard lights up to match the keys used in the game and all the others darken how do i change that
what?
so my keyboard changes colors for the game
that sounds like a hardware thing
like the wasdqe keys are the movement keys and are litten up differently
That’s a specific keyboard that does that 
Thing is I don’t know which.
Try #952326072542847016 maybe?
i got a logitech g512
go to your logitech software
am i allowed to send photos in this chat to show you?
that's a #952326072542847016 issue, not ffxiv
oof
Having had a Logitech keyboard before, I can confirm that the Logitech software is dynamically changing key colors based on the game you're playing, yes.
You have to go into the software suite to change it, it's nothing FFXIV is doing.
Heey, not sure if this is where I'm supposed to ask this but: My friend upgraded their (really old & expired) trial account to standard yesterday but her game still says it's a trial account. How can we fix this? 😭
thanks, this was the first time this has happened for the keyboard
use the normal launcher
!faq launcher
er
What do you mean by this?
is she trying to use the trial launcher still
No, she downloaded the full game
what's it say on mogstation
It says "Transfer to Full Game"
Which is odd because she upgraded it through Mogstation
did she use the code that got emailed
!faq download
also where is she trying to log on? you can only be standalone or steam, not both
She didn't get any email
is she on Steam
Well uh, when she clicked "transfer to full game" it took her to the Steam site (that's where she purchased the standard version)
yes
She is
then she has to download through steam.
Is the striking dummy the only thing to practice rotations on? Is there anything that I can reset my 2min cooldowns on instead? Or do I just gotta use striking dummy and wait
you can unsync queue into something and then leave to reset your cds
How? ^^; Is it the same product activation key that pops up whenever she hits play on Steam?
Yes
What should we do with it?
put it in on mogstation
We tried that :( It didn't work
Just gives us an error code
Probably going to email support, thanks for trying ❤️
what are the best class choices if i want to be strong in eureka?
Any work pretty well if you make use of Eurekan Potions from the merchant by the entrance in the instance
Those give a decently beefy heal over time which gives all classes viable self-sustain
ahk. is there a particular reason so many people use red mage?
srez mage
how hard would you think ninja is for a beginner?
Not hard
Only "difficultly" is remembering mudra combos but literally just get good hotkeys for those and it's kinda braindead

Is there any way to speed up the dialogue in the Hall of the Novice?
Will the Virtu PvP outfits move to the Wolf Mark vendor after the current season ends?
no

are there nicknames for the playable races in the game? like how lalafells are called "potatoes" and elezens are "giraffes"?
Unknown but we assume not
Will they retire then?
You mean like nicknames that the game actually uses for the races? No there aren’t
As far as we can tell, no? We don't know their plans about the trophy crystal shop. We do know, however, that they don't change by season. They've indicated that it will probably change by series, which is a major patch. 6.2 is the beginning of series 2 and when we'll find out how they're adjusting that stuff.
im thinking the nicknames that the community calls them
How do I respec my chocobo
Reagan pepper
Feed them a Reagan Pepper. Buy from GC.
What rank do I have to be to buy it
2nd Lieutenant iirc
48000
what
you can also buy them with something else cuz apparently it's way more expensive from GC
They're way cheaper with Allied Seals. Need only 20.
Wish I knew this before spending all my GC seals
D:
turn in any piece of gear and get seals on the expert delivery tab
just slap an A-rank somewhere in arr
Wait
Curious question, nothing crucial as I'm nowhere near being able to do the content involved. Are ultimate weapons guaranteed after clearing an ultimate raid, or is there like a coffer or something that's raffled to the party? I've yet to raid too so idk if the loot system differs from dungeons to raids. Thanks!
Since when can I hide all of my gear assigned to a gear set
Everyone gets a token that they exchange for the weapon of their choice
you get a totem on each clear
since... forever?
a long ass time... probably
at least since late shb
I've literally never seen this option when turning gear in for seals
Ah, so ultimate weapons are guaranteed on a clear?
Longer than that. If it wasn't there at the beginning, it was added very shortly after because I can't remember when that function was added.
Ah okay. Makes sense, but it was just a dumb question I was curious about. Thanks guys!
How do I promote from Second Storm Lieutenant?
Level up your squadron and send them on missions
They need to pass three special deployments and accompany you on five unique dungeon runs to get to max rank.
Level up your squadron
!faq squadronguide
Definitely been there since before HW
I've just gotten to the part of shb relic where you grind HW and SB alliance raids. should I exchange my extra footnotes for bozja coins or lockboxes?
got it
Does doing dungeons with NPCs change the rewards?
No, you just get less
There are less total drops but you get all of them.
As only 1 gear piece appears per chest
Experience gain is identical.
I'm used to instant pops as a healer, it's a hard life for a dps
I mean, I simply found things to do while I waited.
Other quests, inventory management, working on glamours, mobile game stuff, reading
does most damage to first enemy always prioritize your target or will nearest one to you get in the way?
Like misery?
It's your target if the skill aoes off the targrt
!action Afflatus Misery
Or the closest if the aoe comes of you, like dancer dances
So basically both, depending which skill it is and where it's coming from
If I am try to level my weapons and armor to level 99 in palace of the dead should I just spam floors 51-60 or should I push higher?
You need to go higher if you want to get to 99
As your chances drop drastically when your Aetherpool is synced
And 51-60 syncs to like 65 or whatever it is
Is it synced when it turns yellow?
Ah ok so then I will push higher thanks
is this what I should have on a 1440p monitor?
I do 4k while I'm on 1080p 
does CLL mettle and exp continue to scale past rank 15?
I can't remember what plot/ward I bid on. Is there a way to look it up?
Timers menu
Thanks
How do housing lotteries work, do you try to out bid someone, or do you put money for a plot a d it rng rolls?
it's a raffle
basically put down a deposit, which is the cost of the house
if you lose, you get the gil back
yep
though we're in results right now
so you're gonna need to wait some... 4 days?
to bid
If I'm gonna make a PF for P4S now that I've gotten up to uhh... After Act 4? Finale?
What do I name it?
Finale prog?
yes
If you're finale, might as well be a2c
Stops scaling at 15 I think
Can’t remember if they updated it during pre-EW
ok ty, guess i'll just prioritize fun smashing it then
How do i use the kapo bot to show me the rotations of other classes?
is that a thing o.o
not every one has a command
i see :/
if you want leveling rotations the weskalber guides on youtube are great go tos
you can even see different rotations at different major points in the leveling
okay thanks! :)
So I just bought the full endwalker version of the game and I started the free trial early this week. (As I type this I'm lvl 51) I'm still in ARR and I got to the mission Lord of Crags (AKA titan). How far or close am I to the end of the main game before heavensward?
(Yeeeahhh I'm a tad over level)
end of main MSQ, is level 50, and like 50 more quests after that, then you get heavensward
So yeah you’re pretty far off
also, free trial is not a bought game
guessing you are on the 30 day free subscription that comes with buying the game
I'm at 34 MSQ currently.
also, did you buy, Endwalker? or Complete edition?
you have a very long way to go
strongly suggest picking up another job to play
I had the actual free trial before I bought it
you're going to overlevel significantly
Complete
good
I'm wondering when I unlock Dark knight. Because I want that to be my other job. I want to stick to tank
yeah literally the moment you walk into ishgard, you can do any of the HW jobs
but they start at 30, so you have to level them up 20 levels, before you can continue the MSQ, if you want to use them for that
other newer jobs, only need you to be at the unlock level to start them, as they are located in the 3 main cities, and they only start 10 levels lower
Ah alright. I'm just curious about DK because I love the idea of light and dark. Paladin and Dark Knight
Plus being a tank is awesome
Understood
for reference, tells you what is needed for each
you unlock Ast/Mch/Drk at 50, but the job's start at 30
50, 30 being HW quests?
no
the unlock quest requires a lvl 50 class
but when you switch to drk it will be lvl 30
yup, the other jobs newer than those start at their unlock level so
RDM, SAM, unlock and start at 50,
GNB, DNC unlock/start at 60
RPR/SGE, unlock/start at 70
Mmm..ok.
HW jobs are just weird
its old jank
Separate question, because I really enjoy online play in dungeons. When do I unlock raids/alliance raids? Also in HW?
!faq contentunlock
Lvl 50
after you beat the base game/each expac
every expansion has raids/alliance raids
you need to beat each expansions story before you can do the optional content
Ooohhhh that explains alot
Also the lvl 50 raids are quite difficult, like you aren’t going to get groups with Duty Finder
for the ARR raids tho i would get someone to carry you through them if you really want the story
theyre the only ones that are endgame level difficulty
keep in mind, you'll find weird inconsistent stuff in older expansions, especially ARR/HW, vs newer
like crafter scrip gear, in HW, the best level 60 crafter/gatherer gear, is class specific, so you end up with 11 gear sets for them
but in SB and onward, the best is generic, so you only need 2 sets, one for all crafters, one for all gatherers
basically a lot of stuff in ARR and HW were a result of the devs experimenting with stuff before they settled on a pattern
like
HW raids have trash mobs 
Is there a FFXIV fishing discord?
Well when I get there...I'll ask around XD
you can ask in the party finder menu when you get there yea
if there is it's probably in #resources
when does fashion report answers come out?
oh yea, also the old level 50 and 60 Tomestone gear, accessories aren't class locked, so you can get the damn "pick best gear" button, giving you the wrong gear, but SB/70 and onward is locked so no more issues
friday
so in a few hours?
Well I'm going to fight titan now, give me luck
whenever fashion report allows submissions
and whenever the person who runs the fr posts figures out the stuff
that was easy-
my cilent be like this for 5 mins
i havent resub for a while, when is the endwalker relic update going to be added?
Probably 6.2
next month?
Does anyone know if the rewards have been sent out to the winners of the recent twitter screenshot event?
next month is 6.15?
We just had 6.15, literally this Tuesday
6.15 was… last week? This week? Something like that
huh, so next month dead month? until 6.2 august that is
In terms of new content, yes. As far as we know we won’t be getting any new content next month
6.18 should just be savage unlock, and probably not much else
There might be a seasonal event in July? Maybe? But that’s about it.
I don’t keep track of exact dates for things. I barely know what month it is on a good day lol
ty
are the level 59 moogle quests part of the beast tribe unlock?
These are all the needed quests.
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Moogle_Daily_Quests
alright, thanks!
How to get an umbrella
Various methods
There’s a couple on the marketboard in a dedicated category, which I think is near the minion category button
are macros for sage also bad?
what would you even use them for
here's a silly question that idk where to ask: if i want to farm atma, and i started it on drg, do i have to keep doing it on drg? i tried to switch to the zenith weapon for bard and did dozens of fates with no drops, but then got it in two on drg?
or was i just unlucky
rng do be rng
i stick to ogcds for macros, i like to make a <2> macro for krasis and dungeon healing
so long as you have a zenith equipped and are doing fates in the correct zones, you can farm as many atmas as possible
ok it was just coincidence then
Question to the Reaper mains out there
What do you do if you pressed Enshroud like 2-5 GCDs early
On your burst window
How do you delay pressing Arcane Circle
I tend to do the early enshroud, myself
I just spam Shadow of Death to try and get my AC to align with the others'
But maybe there's a better way?
Like, look at this
does ffxiv run (well) on a M1 mac?
Does anyone know if there is a formula to determine how many FC rank points are earned for turning in gear at the GC for seals?
are the firmament quests important or should i skip them
the
unlock 2 custom delivery npcs, which give a decent chunk of exp and scrips weekly
i dont really do crafting or gathering
not rn at least
so like
i feel like i can just skip them for now
it is still nice to unlock, as there's the fêtes event in there aswell, which consist of 5 different minigame fate, that can give out glamour & mount, even some metallic dyes
well don't need to do more than the initial firmanent unlock for the fetes
it's just a little annoying since i'm not really interested in the story
i'm talking about like the firmament main quests and stuff
anything past the initial unlock for the firmament as a whole you can put safely off to the side
oo
my bad 
If you want a gathering/crafting class just to do later content with them, I recommend botanist and culinarian. Those mostly can be sustained on their own without the other crafters, and all but one fish ingredient for CUL quests can be obtained by buying from an NPC.
im mostly focusing on just msq
i have just like severe ocd so putting content to the side kinda annoys me lol
I'll just finish the main firmament quests rq
The game is designed to let you focus on just the MSQ with only one class. Other quests, other classes, and everything else in the game is optional side content.
my gamer brain wants to 100% complete everything
before i get to stormblood
so i must prevail..
Even the sidequests? o_O
The regular bronze ones I mean
Of the “optional side content” even for those who only care about MSQ, I do recommend at least doing each expansion’s trilogies of raids and trials
nononono
not those
i am never doing those LOL
just the blue quests
dungeons/trials/blue quests/etc
Ahh, yea that sounds good
im trying to just unlock and complete all the content i can
So like Heavensward’s Warring Triad, Alexander and Mhachi stuff
ARR’s Binding Coil
i've already finished the raids and trails. not the extreme stuff but i can always do that later
i tried to do binding coil
but literally no one queues for it
Nah, Extreme can be left alone
so i'm just gonna solo it later down the line
It’s the only party duty that’s not on any roulettes
im just gonna solo it later on because yeah no one queues up for binding coil
i was there for 1 hour queueing thinking it was on roulette
and couldn't get even one party
so i gave up
Yeah, don’t rely on queues. Ask friends if they want to help you unsync a cutscene run of Binding Coil
haha imagine having friends haha xd
I really hope they fix Binding Coil the same way they fixed the older dungeon bosses recently
I honestly would not recommend this for anything else
But for Binding Coil, you might want to consider watching the cutscenes on YouTube
So you get that lore and such sooner rather than later
Actually that might be awkward...
Nevermind
No announced plans
I'll just do the binding coil and unsync it solo on my own time
once i get to a high enough level
would i be able to do it on 70/80?
In poetics gear
Turn 9 will be rough
rather do it on level 80
turn 9 can blast any non-tank easily 
Could just fire up a party finder for it

Might be surprised by how many would take the offer
And all you need is one person, really
i'm always up to help sprouts ngl....when i'm not at work
Oh excellent
thanks for ur help tho
i just hate bothering people
knowing that it's old content
and not alot of people care for it anymore
i have 300+ hours in game and i've just almost barely reached stormblood
i'm almost done with the HW midpatch but damn
i can't fathom how people get to endwalker so quickly
Dude, people like helping unsync Coil.
It’s a thing
It’s of no benefit to them, but they do, so don’t be afraid to ask
actually, it is
100 poetics per turn, plus second chance points
Fair!
as well as the drops for desynth or w/e
on top of aetherstone for replicas, or even gear to desync for materials
so what i said under that
that does bring up a question, were there no pity drops for coils?
i've never actually tried to use the aetherstones
Suppose there is a retainer holding max gil amount, will marketplace sale of an item they're offering still occur?
Usually anything past gil cap is just tossed away
So what message will appear to person buying?
Probably nothing, and they get their item
it's probably business as usual but the retainer gain nothing as the gil is capped
q: saw video when someone have in crossbar a spell which is from combo mean for example as atrologian The balance.. is there a way how to add it to hotbar or not? thx
/micon "The Balance"
oh ok thx
Add that to your macro
are there any gathering jobs that make weaver less expensive to craft with
Botanist
And the other crafters
It's best to level all crafters so u don't have to buy other mats
long story short, it's all interconnected
best to level all crafters and gatherers at the same time, maybe gatherers a bit ahead of the crafters
The only crafter you can get away with not leveling other crafters for is culinarian. Botanist helps a lot with it.
So if you want to get into crafting/gathering in general, level all of them together. If you just want to unlock crafter/gatherer quests, I’d go for CUL+BTN.
Does anyone know if there’s a gear piece that looks like the hempen chestwraps but for all classes/tanks? I really like the aesthetic but I’m not a caster very often
Oh ty
Hmm there’s not a direct match, but is there any top like it (like the top portion of the set, not the additions) for all classes?
I’m going through Stormblood and my whole party is trying to go for a more weather appropriate wardrobe
is there a way to increase the size of the mahjong screen?
probably right click it at the top where you can grab it and scale window
just click through the marketboard and find something similar, gear for all jobs doesn't really drop in content, its all crafted
The thavnairian gear would probably make for a good compromise
And it's class agnostic
Or pagos
Thavnairian is a good idea, may go with that
I like Pagos but the tattoos don’t work super well with my character
Do Carbuncles summoned by an Arcanist do anything on their own or are they only going to act if I use a skill that commands them? Trying to better understand how Arcanist works.
basically only you using a skill
and even then, base carby only uses radient aegis
Well, that's a shame honestly. Thanks for the answer though.
used to work as you said where they did auto attacks and even had separate hp pools
but they were.... not great
unless you REALLY like janky mechanics
you'll get bigger summons later if you go on to become a summoner
they will actually go and hit stuff
I've been leveling my crafters via grand company dailies. What is the best way to actively level crafters?
Ishgard resto, deliveries, leves, collectables
Leves are really good. Resto also works well and is comparably cheap
what should i use after Augmented Cryptlurker gear for level 90
580 crafted gear from the MB
Either buy classical gear or use the other tomes.
what zone is the best one to do to grind Bicolor gemstones? just finished the Shared FATE's for EW and saw that the current most rare mount in the game requires 5k of the crystals
Any of the endwalker ones since they give more per completed fate, but honestly gems per zone will be approximately the same regardless due to FATE spawn rates
how much do you get in the ShB zones?
if you mean wivre it costs 50k bicolor gems, so any zone were you can find ppl for will do
shb fates give 12, ew fates give 14
thanks 👍
Dirst: all the shit you got along the Endwalker msq and the af gear from tatarus new shop
can sb explain how market tax works? i see on universalis that different areas have different taxes, but idk what that means
tl;dr whichever market your retainer is "stationed" in is the tax rate you pay on your revenue
Ultimately it's an inconsequential amount I wouldn't bother with trying to game, but it exists as a gil sink
Places with fewer assigned retainers have lower taxes to encourage more even distribution
And by now it's pretty much even across the board
thats the tax yes
universalis says kugane has 0% tax right now, so i moved my retainer there, but there's still 5% price increase on the item https://i.imgur.com/C0h4X2Q.png
also when listing the item, the yellow text is really confusing https://i.imgur.com/cch6NyP.png
so it says there will be 5% tax, exept it also says the tax will be 0g, exept the price is increased 5% anyway
so what is it now?
oh yeah and when i moved my retainer it says tax is 2% reduced
which confuses me even more
found the answer. there is in fact 2 taxes https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/uyp16u/market_fee_tax_rate_relocating_retainers/ia5in2e/
1 vote and 13 comments so far on Reddit
all we know is that the buyer pays a tax, and the seller pays a tax. The backend is deliberately kept slightly obtuse to keep people from over gaming the system and you'll find that most people don't really try to optimize out the market taxes.
the only tax that changes is the seller tax
I've heard that there's a thing for crafting in ishgard that allows you to level real easily. Can I get going on that when I hit 50 in a DoH job?
How is it possible to get the new beast tribe mount already?
It's not, but there's the unlock mission where u can/have to use it
And maybe another one as well
Oh so that person just afk'd with it? XD
Very likely
I think it's minimum 20.
Need to have finished HW tho
oh pog
specifically need to have completed 3.3
No worries on that front. New to the DoH bit.
The crafts there require a mix of normal material and specific dol Stuff u get in the diadem, the dol leveling area
Could buy both on the marketboard or gather it by yourself
got a bluefeather weapon for a class I have 0 intention of playing, is there anywhere i can turn it in for something?
not now, but in future patches yes
good thing i haven't discarded it yet then lol
Is there any way to change to opacity of just the pop out map?
I reached max lvl before the MSQ ends, should I continue or grind an alt job to the MSQ lvl
if ur msq is like 88 its fine
im having some issues with my keybinds and movement, ive just started and i cant move or walk, i just type in the chat with wasd, ive set my keybinds to default english too
Sounds like you hit enter by accident
Just hit escape and it should take you out of typing in chat
nah as soon as i press any key it types in there
i accidently had it set up to gamepad to begin with
sounds more like you have direct chat enabled in the settings
https://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/lds/uiguide/eu/20/22d150ff506993a466ae44885d715919b86795.jpg see if this is enabled
if so, turn it off
thats fixed it! thanks
I’ve been doing maps with a few friends and I’m new to them. I mostly need gil over materials, is there any maps I can do solo and which ones? Also i plan to buy them off the market board for now so profitable ones
primarily, theres solo maps like the saigaskin that are meant for 1 player, but the overall loot is lower since its only 1 person
in terms of being able to solo 8 man maps, far and away your best bet is a geared blue mage
It doesn’t need to be 8 man i just be a little broke xD
Please, can i somewhere find actual crossbar layout for Samurai? Thanks or if is there any site for each class. I have my own but i feel its not good.
I have a question. Whenever I try to pay for a subscription I keep getting this and idk what to do
Try buying Crysta and using that instead
How do I get crysta;-;
I tried to google it but it just sent me to a error code 2002
Well i linked u the faq
@bronze smelt I can share with you mine
On sage's main stat as a crit for reference, what's the best secondary sub stat to meld on?
Crit>DH>=Det for pre-BiS melding
Thank you!
any tips on leveling from 80-90?
Dungeons, fates, elephant tribe...how you level doesn't really change
Bojza 80+ is "OK"
what is bozja?
Shadowbringers relic zone
Ahhhh i'm still in arr
yeahh i'll go do dungeons and fates, thx
Then you shouldn't worry about levelling
Any content you do is gonna limit your level anyways
And if you're level 80 and stuck in ARR, ARR zone fates are going to give incredibly negligible amount of exp
Same with dungeons outside of roulettes
Then why the fuck do you need levels
If you're in arr
Your level means nothing without story progress
Hitting 90 won't do anything
guys i was doing a dungeon as a ninja and they were talking about lb, and at the end they said to me please bound lb to your keyboard or something, i dont even know what lb is help...
Limit break
Limit break
Ohhh i want to max it so i can test the skills and start creating my shortcut layout
and what is limit break
You can't test your skills cause you have multiple skills locked behind job quests
A strong move that uses the limit break bar
Action and traits > general
Ohhh i see, my bad
oh and when should you use it
All your 50-60 quests and 70 skill is quest locked
Ranged/caster use it on trash, melees on bosses
whenever it's full
Is there any way to know if the servers are down? I can't seem to be able to log in Omega :/
When i look on the website it just tells about making new characters
should be online at last the status site says it, will try to login in a min
there's some alternative sites like https://is.xivup.com/ but all's working
What kind of error are you getting when trying to log in?
elemental here, and its 'The lobby server connection has encountered an error'
Is it giving a number after that? At the bottom right corner of the error box?
It's saying the connection to th server was lost
there's also like 160 people in the queue so i guess there's an issue
error code?
Unfortunately they all start with 90
just logged in on omega without a problem so its probably your connection/isp
It's the last two digits that matter.
Gosh i'm sorry
Nah, it's fine.
3084
90001/2 probably then
Probably means that something funky is happening with you
your pc/your isp/your router
but its seems fine now, i keep trying and eventually able to see character screen, thanks
Ah sad, it just happened suddenly i was logged fine, then it logged me out and i'm seeing lots of people queuing
Generally speaking, a lobby server error means there was some kind of network/server instability
It could be because of something on SE's end, or it could be because of a network node issue between you and the servers.
I'll try again and get the code
Yeah it seems to be a widespread thing but not the whole server/dc so it might be a regional issue or something
Okay it's weird now it worked
eh honestly stuff like this is usually fixed pretty quickly
just wait like 5 mins and try again
or if it works now...
I mean i'm wondering if there wasn't an issue, when i was in my duty it was kind of bugged as well
It was probably a random node in the network malfunctioning, so traffic got rerouted for the normal operation of the internet.
But yeah all is well ^^
That sort of thing does usually resolve itself pretty quickly. It's only when one of the major hubs gets borked that it lasts longer.
