Eek. Okay, thanks
In EW the Trust NPC xp gains should be more in line with player xp gains.
So enough to get two jobs to 90, give or take?
An average of 6-7 dungeons per two levels.
Basically a single party of NPCs should level more or less at the same rate as any one job.
are low-collectibility collectables just garbage, or can i do anything with them?
hey does anyone know if it's possible to transfer more than one character for free when the new worlds get added on EU ? 
Just garbage.
thanks
how can i dye this
afaik its no different as putting in a normal world transfer so should be able to
You can’t
cant dye that one, you need to buy the costume version thats bought with restoration scrips
Firmament
great! thanks 
No
or just no new characters
No new characters for the moment
last time I tried to transfer, I had to sub first which was $15 you know, then I found out I was unable to transfer
is there a way to confirm transfers are available
It’s not congested so any issues are your character hitting one of the various restrictions
just checking, it was considered congested last time
didnt want to spend $15 to find out I can't transfer again lol
thank you for the info
Hi,
Question about 2 and 3 full game (1/3)
If the 2 comes out, will it be included in Final Fantasy VII Remake or do I have to buy another one separately?
Thank
Which leve quest is better ? The tsai one or the alchemist one ?
Better for what
oh just making gil. Got all the crafting class to lvl 90, so the levequest are just for making gils for me now
Carrot nibbles
levequests are shit for gil making now
Usually nibbles or the tea
you'd be better off just researching your market and crafting and selling raid food
well ... i might as well make them since they are free gils right ?
Ah yea, i thought about that but currently my meld isn't ready for raid food yet i think. Still in the process of saving up materias to meld my CUL
I there a way to make it so this option displays something other than summoner clothes? I don't even really play summoner, I play scholar, but it always does summoner clothes
no, cos arcanist is the starting class and dps
“Arcanist goes into to summoner” because dps
so it defaults into summoner since summoners also dps
but I'm a Scholar 😦
smn is the default
my god how I hate the summoner horn
And there’s nothing you can do about it
Definitely an oversight on SE's part, but nothing to be done about it I fear 😦
but the dong is great
the dong is ugly
I just want to to test other races out in character create without looking like I have a giant dong
Not really an oversight; you're using the starting class gear, and Arcanist is a DPS, not a Healer. It just so happens that Arcanist is also the only class that splits into two possible jobs later on, which is a practice which SE has entirely abandoned because they hated it.
If you don’t have any other questions…different channel
👍 time to try and think of a loophole to test out the other races then, thanks for the help
There isn't one. You've got your racial clothes, your underwear, and the starting class clothes.
There is no loophole, just look up the scholar gear on eorzea collection or something
There are model viewers out there, perhaps they might help you figure out how you would look in Scholar gear
easily doable with mods and plugins fyi
or just ask a friend to DM you some scholar gear
anyone remember when the last fantasia sale was
was it with the release of oce?
Anyway, the answer to "something other than summoner clothes" would be, as previously stated, any other class's gear, your racial gear, or no gear. I find the racial gear generally the most informative anyhow, since the appearance gear I use for my classes aren't remotely close to the class artifact gear.
Found the solution, make a new character, you get to look at the job outfits ahead of time, save character appearance, and just back out before finalizing
That allows you to see Scholar outfits?
No, but I can see like paladin and such, so I can see the different things
No, it lets you take the saved character file and port it to an outside character viewer.
So like, I have a Viera I wanted to look at other job outfits on, so I just loaded up the character appearance in new character mode and can look at the starting class jobs at least
Unfortunately not as extensive as I'd have liked, but good enough for what I wanted
FFXIV Web Model Viewer
could also use this
tho you cant change the character appearance
Is the glam dresser gonna be expanded in 6.18/6.2?
6.2
Yeeeesssss!
As a glam hunter, i am happy
what is the best way to get fieldcraft demimateria 1 & 2?
Just gotta desynth certain things
There’s legitimately 100s of things that could give them
if im on entry sub, can i have more than 1 character on a server? i know i read a while back saying i couldnt make anymore on my world ( i only have 1)
or was that changed recently?
yes, it was recently changed
ohh ok ty! i was worried that it was bugged and if i made another character my sub would upgrade
whats the command/macro to keep your weapon glow while sheathed
/bm
/sit
As a macro
TY! im now doing a lot of desything and crafting lol
ty
My personal tip for easiest field craft demimateria 1 are brass rings of crafting
They’re the cheapest item you can buy from vendors
And you can also use the leftover materials from desynthing them to make more of them
As for fieldcraft 2, I think I mainly did Aetheryte Rings
It only uses one Rose Gold Nugget and one water cluster
(Level 50 goldsmith)
ooo ty, im currently doing brass rings of crafting but ill do aetheryte rings next :D
Abyssal Drain doesn't heal per target hit right?
it does
!action Abyssal Drain
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 150 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Restores own HP
Cure Potency: 200
Additional Effect: Restores MP
Shares a recast timer with Carve and Spit.
it adds up
HW spoiler question: ||I just rescued Y'shtola, how far am I from finishing HW?||
idk if that's actually "allowed" or not to "float" furniture in Housing but i'm still gonna ask....
How the f.... can i make the craftable piano stay on a Stage?....
I tried it like everyone does it, but no it decide to fall down... every f...ing time
Any experts here?
It's not worded very clearly, no, but the additional effect applies to each instance of damage. And you can verify this in practice by hitting it in a mob.
Quick question. How many times would I have to run DR savage to augment my law's order armor?
Pretty close for leveling story
Is it a long grind to become second lieutenant in the grand company? I guess i need to do that to unlock hunts
It's not a long grind, just a bit tedious I think.
Just collect seals from doing overworld content, turn them in, rank up.
Definitely the short leg of the rank-up process; the last to require you to rank up your adventurer squadron, and that takes a hwhile.
Unlock the turn-ins, turn in things and get seals
Hello everyone! My first job was thaumaturge and I got bored of it pretty quickly. Is thaumaturge less fun than other jobs or did I just get bored of the game?
Just get another job
If you don’t like it then whatever
thaumaturge is universally considered the worst job in the game to level
it's awful up to level 60
oh ok lmao
then it gets better
though they did recently give it some help in endwalker
by giving it a core passive at level 1 that you previously didn't unlock until like level 70
If you wanna stick with casters, arcanist is way simpler
thanks for the recommendation ill look into it
Hi guys, do you think this is worth for a free trial player? (I currently don't have Road to 80 but I'm already lvl 50 with 2 classes)
can't transfer if you are FT
You can’t transfer
You could just make a new character if having the buff is that important
the upcoming EU DC and Materia DC have these features, consider it when you purchased
Nah it's not that important actually, I leveled 2 classes with MSQ so I don't think is that necessary isn't it
I wanna buy the game but I'm waiting for a sale
Hoping for game anniversary at least, I still have a lot to do as a FT anyway 😄
(I actually hope they put in on sale when Steam Summer Sales start but idk about that)
Is there anything to do with 590 augmented classic gear after I got ilvl 600 gear? (other than desynth/seals)
why that over 600 gear?
because you can use the materia melds in ultimate
if you use gear thats in the ilevel range
Ehh
Using at level gear for ultimates isn’t a huge concern anymore
At least for any that aren’t DSU
oh ultimate have level sync?
!faq ultimatesync
Sufficiently high item-level gear can cap both substats when synced down. Similarly, item-level 515 and 535 relics can have substats allocated so that fewer substats are lost to the sync (see !faq ilvlsync for more info on how gear syncing works).
See the calculator below:
https://bit.ly/XIVGearSyncCalc
Tanks can instead use their standard gear calculator, which supports syncing to both 70 and 80:
https://bit.ly/XIV-TANKDPSCALC-EW
they're ALWAYS synced
I thought they're like unreal
Which are also synced?
tldr high enough ilvl gear when synced will cap both substats on the gear
no theyre at 90
so BiS old ultimate sets can be any gear that's i500 or higher as long as the substats are right
or 595 for TEA
Unreals ilvl sync to 565
so, i am currently doing lominsan envoy (MSQ), and as a result, travelled to gridania for the first time (from limsa), can i switch to archer now, or do i have the finish the MSQ?
the one for my current class?
As long as you have access, you can get the job
Yes
hmm i have def done some for the arcanist, i'll have to find out what the level 10 one was
Just look at your msqtracker
if you have access to the armoury chest
ooo what is this? i assume i have used it, just didn't know it was called this
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
after lv10 class quest should be an orgy of "so you want to be a <whatever>" at arr cities
i do
yep ok, the arcanist quest i have under my MSQtracker is topaz teachings
which is the level 15 one
so i should be good to switch classes
i assume i just take up the 'so you want to be an archer' quest
yes
yeah i know, hence why i'm switching rn
ok thanks
Anyone help me with The Dying gasp?
make a pf
And like I mentioned in beginner lounge, you’re queueing at like midnight In EU
That’s not helping you
doubly so if you're a dps
Once again I'm offering help 
yeah playing during actual busy/peak hours, will make it much easier to find a group in DF.
i did that one last night at 10pm on Materia (you know the least populated DC) and DF popped in under 10 minutes, and i was DPS.
how do u check server population
anecdotal
!faq worldstatus
also, Materia is new and has less servers vs the other datacenters, so makes sense its less populated
i would definitely struggle queueing for anything other than roulettes outside of peak hours, vs when i was playing on JP servers before
its a very noticeable difference
You don't
google, but any websites reporting on population, should be taken with a large serving of salt
as they are guesstimates at best, based on data pulled from different sources
there is no way to directly pull server pop stats from anywhere
They don't release exact figures for various reasons
One of which is, people only join the more populated worlds and the player balance becomes very skewed
So the announcement that you get exp incentives for creating these characters in these other worlds, that means only on the EU data centers right?
EU and JP datacenters
Dang it haha. Lucky them
well yea, they want people to populate the new servers
why would they give incentives for old servers : ?
does anyone know what the estimated bonus experience percentage from a Trial roulette?
ok
how can I bee #4 on duty finder waiting list for a dungeon that needs my roll and still needs my roll after I register?
finding an old thread elsewhere seems to indicate it's roughly 10% of your xp bar.
it makes no sense
Maybe 10% of a level or so.
Yeah that's what it sounds like. Normal raid sounds around 5% of your xp bar.
Adventurer in need isn't updated in real time.
because duty finder in need status doesn't update every single second
Also it’s not like they stop being needed just because you show up
now I'm #26 wtf
now that just sounds like hyperbole to me
you can't go backwards in a queue
shouldnt be physically possible
unless you unqueued
And yeah, as soon as people notice that their role is needed, they sign up en masse, which means that role actually get a longer queue.
and requeued
ohh i see what happened
you queued because in need appeared, (like probably 20 other people)
and have left and rejoined the queue, and now you are at the back of the line
well that's what happened. I was #4 then I was #26 then I was #3 in the span of 10 seconds
eh, then queue was just being buggy
there is no way for anyone to cut in front of a queue
even if I left and requeued how is it possible to be one moment #4 leave requeue with the same role and be #26 in a dungeon queue
because there are 20 other people behind you?
Because you left, now you’re in the back
you do understand how a queue works right?
but if there are 20 people it would open more instances
no
why not?
if the role in need has 20+ people waiting then it means other roles have more waiting
expert queue
Dude, this is no longer a question
You’re just complaining about queues
simple
if there are 20 dps waiting and it's the role in need it means there are more healers and tanks waiting
as was ALREADY stated
in need doesn't update every second
it takes a few minutes
so yes, you could have in need showing DPS, but there are 20 DPS in queue
because, especially DPS, are rarely in need, so when it comes up, they jump on it quick
as was ALREADY stated it was in the span of several seconds so it does not make sense
We don't control the servers. #rants exists if you want to complain, but the fact simply is is that there's always more DPS than Healers or Tanks, and that the role bonus usually exists for a few minutes at a time instead of instantly swapping the moment it switches
the number bugging out for a few seconds, doesn't mean anything
several minutes, why not several hours
I've seen the role in need go back and forth after several seconds
Your question has been sufficiently answered, as others have asked please go to #rants if you have issues because, once again, we don't control the servers.
It changes when you open the df
Not it was not. The queue updating every several minutes is absolutely not true.
It also changes when it stays open.
Were you queued as a max level job with enough ilvls for every map?
please, dont continue this
no I was in a roulette
its been done, and answered
If it has been answered then what is the answer?
I have no clue how it works, but it's possible it's related to available maps for you specifically.
We know as much as you do, which is to say, what you've already seen, and developer commentary from the live letters. Unless you can get us direct access to the SE backend that's as good of an answer we can give.
Any attempts to continue this question will be met with a mute.
But you know that is not a true answer.
you have been given the best answers by people and a moderator, multiple times
if you need more, ASK Square Enix, NO one here can help you
If you don't know then say you don't know. Don't say something you know is wrong
A wrong answer is a best answer?
There's more effort required by you to prove it's wrong anyways. It's usually safer to say "probably" when you don't have proof, but that goes both ways

adventurer in need changes as the numbers of roles queueing changes, leaving your queue will forfeit your position and put you all the way at the back when you requeue. thats your answer
They want it to go only one way.
best answers we have based on anecdotal evidence which has proven to be mostly true based on experience
The conversation is purely theoretical until someone makes a vid showing the common guess can't be true
How long does it take to update?
however long it takes for the servers to read the role numbers
now drop it, before mods start muting people
this is going nowhere, we're just going around in circles
Just drop it, or one of the mods is gonna mute you, your question was answered
There is no point in extending this conversation until there is rigorous testing to prove it one way or the other.
So how do you know it takes several minutes?
You want a video to see that it can update multiple times per minute?
bruh
If you can make it, then there might be a slightly longer conversation
"however it takes" is not "several minutes"
But no one is particularally interested anyways, I think.
@slate arrow
If this is your hill to die on, a mods gonna mute you
I was taking care of something, apologies. The point has been made though, if you have further questions I'd highly recommend just asking FFXIV customer support.
We know as much as you do at this point.
Yes because they don't want me to question them when they tell me something that know for a fact is not true.
Then why do you say it takes several minutes when it does not?
!mute @feral oxide 1h
Mild shock
pretty sure industrial was giving an approx. time and not a hard answer my dude
Probably, now that you gave him the idea
I'd advise the rest of you to drop it, and to report him if he invades your DMs. Harassment is against the rules.
do we know the % for card drops or rough estimates
would suggest people disable server DMs for large public servers, if anything to stop spam bots from messaging you
Rough estimates. I don't think there's been a comprehensive tests of the current drop rates.
Running at min ilevel increases card drop rate iirc
That's about the only factor you can apply
suppose if i knew the number id still be depressed stupid thordan 
Is it possible to set up a macro that swaps out an ability/hotbar? I'd love on my astro to use Draw, and then press the same key to Play
no but even if you could it would be extremely slow
Technically yes, at the same time that's a terrible idea
but woulnt you need to target or that for personal use
and broken
That has way too many moving parts to break
Macros are deliberately shit for combat jobs
trying to do anything and everything to make that a little easier for myself. I've currently got a "play on X player" macro, but want to see if there is more I can do
doing that will heavily impact your performance
Trust me, this will not make it easier on yourself
just pressing your buttons is more effective
You're honestly better off just figuring out a better button layout for yourself and practicing
As any macro that complicated is liable to break in combat and potentially screw you over
macros are not queueable, so yes its doable, but its definitely not recommended and you will be less effective than anyone not using macros
I can say with confidence I don't have the reaction speed to do any better.
where can i buy 1m sub?
you absolutely have the reaction speed faster than a macro
You could set a macro to be
/Action "Play"
/Action "Draw"
Doing so makes it so if you have an active card, it will do Play first, and then if you don't have a card, you will draw first
cant find a link all links broken or i have browser problem 😄
Hell you'd technically be replacing a macro with another macro
i just put draw card right nest to play, so its just one button over
simples
!faq mogstation
just sub on mogstation for a month and then remove your card
!faq mogstation
If you're looking to buy a time card, they only come in 60 day blocks
At standard rate
no lets sub for 30day
You'll have to do that via Mogstation then
how much euro 30day?
!faq subpriceeu
35/3 12? hmm ok
or you could do entry for 10.99
when are the lotteries opening for houses again?
what is it let me check
It says on the faq
That we just pulled up
instead of 8 characters a server up to 40 you get 1 up to 8
I only play with one character, alts aren't the same as other games
fuck it i hate alts
almost no one pays for standard
thats why i quite wow
since the game literally has no incentive to play alts
well, good for you, ff14 is very much built around doing everything on a single character
(i was also sick of having a dozen alts in other mmos)
why i liked PSO2, it was ahead of its time with being able to play all classes on one char
This thank god
if you arent aware it was actually changed recently (and seems the screenshot was updated)
where you can have all 8 characters on entry sub, on a single server if you want
you arent restricted to only one per server anymore
i guess SE realised, that was a dumb restriction, since people would just create a 2nd char on a different server in the same DC and just world visit if they wanted a 2nd one on the same server
whats the best way to go from 80-81? no rouls/wonderous left :c
do highest level dungeon that isn't 80
Yeah
But if i create an entirely new character and complete the 2.0 msq
do i receive another fantasia?
yes
It’s a different character
thanks god
its per character, not per account
it's untradable, before you try
Yes
i hate my new character’s appearance
I mean if you have no progress, you could just…make another character
Question:whats the name of the men on the endwalker cutscene
nah im on the last 2.0 quest
White cape black hair
The player character
You mean derplander?
The paladin is the player character
Yeah, He’s just a player stand in. He doesn’t appear in game
created a basic human and then i saw some of the stormblood Au Ra npc’s and asked myself what is wrong with me
Yah XD
Reason: Drop a conversation when a Mentor tells you to
Whats the best final fantasy in term of Quality gameplay
Bravely Default
7 remake
That’s not the kind of question you ask here
That’s a discussion type deal
Im not here for help im hero for the question tab
It’s for FFXIV questions
well its more a questions about this game here type of place
Not discussing things
read the topic
its for questions regarding ff14 bro
its for ff14 related questions
But
my man’s on crack
Im not only lutting the 14 in a gemeral question
bro..
Please don't ask discussion topics thinly veiled as questions
What are p4's exactly?
Pandemonium 4
It’s part of the level 90 raid series
p4s is a raid
the S stands for savage difficulty
And it's one of the more popular ones for loot I'm guessing?
well its current
but theres a mount or some other nice reward like every 4th savage
so old ones still get done
can anyone suggest a server to play on? i like both pve and pvp
Doesn’t matter
you play with everyone in a data center anyways so just pick one in your region
ok thank you i did not know that
I have a friend of mine who was telling me about how he started playing and that he had this free trial thing up until he was level 60, I have not played in years but my character is level 53, is there a way for me to get some free trial till level 60?
Make a new account
Make a new account
damn that sucks
It's a trial, not free to play mode
However if there is a free login campaign atm for accounts that have been inactive for 60+ days
So if you login on your old account you'll get 4 days of playtime for free
lol, yeah there is no such thing as PvP or PvE centric servers here (there is no open world PvP if thats what you mean by PvP)
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Southeast Asian and Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
thank yall very much i did not know that stuff
is the pvp good in this as far as mmo pvp goes? my only reference for mmo pvp is world of warcraft
pvp is alright, but its not a main focus
so if thats your jam in other mmos, you might be disappointed
no
thats the ranked season ending
not the series malmstone, that ends with 6.2 though you will still be able to purchase the 6.1 series rewards until 6.3
pvp is balanced in this game and stats are equalized
its fun but chaotic and not really a main focus like kael said
ahh, so i still have some time to get the rank 25 thing, thanks!
She sells nothing for Sea of Stars, is that normal? Or is there a pre req?
hello guys i was wondering if it was important to pay attention to the MSQ available in the free trial or if it only gets interesting in the expansions?
It's literally one whole story
It's not separate stories
You won't understand anything if you ignore arr or heavensward
ARR does a lot of set up for literally every expansion.
The expansions build on everything that was set forth in the base campaign. It might seem dull and trite and boring currently (and it ... kind of is a bit), but yes, it very much picks up as it goes.
And you will understand much less of it without knowing what went on in the beginning.
you need to complete the sightseeing log for endwalker
Is there a treasure hunt community on discord?
Just make a PF if you wanna do maps, way faster
Alright 😄
anyone got this error?
yes, Square Enix issue
time to stare at a wall and remember what i did before ffxiv
is there lodestone announcement?
none that i saw
maybe give them a few minutes to actually figure out whats going on and post one
so u guys also encounter same error?
it has been reported in like 5 different places
so yea, fairly sure its a SE issue
until they say more, we dont know, it may only be one datacenter, or a few
should i buy game too? 30day sub isnt enought? i mean base game nod expansions
You can't subscribe without buying the game, they go hand in hand.
oke
you need to buy sub eventually anyway
iwll
seems if you're logged in, you're good, stay logged in
if you have to login....good luck
What you did is also against the rules. And you're a mod.
And I didn't DM nor harass anybody.
try now, worked for me
yea i am in now
Dude just don’t
Im coming back to the game with kind of a restricted schedule. I'm not looking to get back into raiding untill 6.2 but would like to play something that will give me an easier time finding a static group with my restricted schedule. Could people toss some opinions my way on what class would give me an easier time finding a static?
any class
Any
Depends on what they want
all classes are needed
No. It was stated as a fact. And even as an approximation it's wrong and he knew it's wrong.
Dude seriously, stop it
this guy, cooked AF
It's not a rant. How about you lot stop trying to shut people up? How about you stop intentionally giving wrong answers?
if you have an issue with a mentor send in a #discord-modmail.
you're gonna achieve nothing but a longer mute.
Or worse
The same as a mod mail
!mute 243865332299595776 1h
This is not the channel for complaining about mod/mentor actions. Open a mod mail
!unmute 243865332299595776
!mute 243865332299595776 24h
Reason: Please use modmail if you have issues with moderation on this server. Please also be advised that this help channel is a volunteer position. Respect them and their effort. Rule 1
pfffffft
lets go time to download and play 30d
if i like game iwll buy other expansiton because i liked red mage but its expansion class if im right
Yes
Yes
Yes
the STARTER EDITION is 30 days
That’s not the trial
ah i see
confusion comes from people thinking the free time given with buying the game, is the "free trial"
Purchasing the game comes with 30 days of complementary game time.
what is the best starter and solo class for questing/achievement
anything
Any of them.
Reason: Multiple warnings in just over an hour, coming back immediately after being unmuted and causing issues again, if this behaviour doesn't change, you will find yourself removed from this server
There's no meta in this game, the devs make it a point to balance all classes very closely together within their roles and balance the roles fairly closely together overall.
Single player fights and open world stuff will work for any jobs
Register it on mogstation
You have to register the game on your Mogstation account.
did you putthe game key into mogstation?
!faq mogstation
you need to register it to your account first
y didnt work 😄
What do you mean when you said you bought 30 days?
Then you’re using the wrong launcher, or put the code in the wrong spot
idk lets wait maybe need 3-4min
I doubt that waiting is a solution
Okay on mogstation, show the account status
When you purchase the game, you're given a product key, a string of letters and numbers unique to the game license you just bought. You need to enter that string in the registration section of your Mogstation account. It should have looked like this:
oke lets try
When will robborant be available to buy?
With alliance raid coin? Should be added with 6.18.
produtc key didnt work
You already put it in
Then how did you even buy sub time without owning the game
You can't buy sub time without owning the game
i have no idea when i enter my account i got error
So again, what is under account status
Look under the account status and see the account type
Screenshot all of this
Are you launching the game from steam?
That’s not how that works
No such thing like that
Sub time is universal
OK you're not steam
For that account
You got 2 different ones
Then why the first screenshot showed steam?
you just bought a game key, you can't use a game key for time
no i bouth 30 day too
and you can't play via steam if you have a non-steam account
You got 2 different accounts for some reason
no i have 1 account
An inactive steam one and an active non steam kne
i linked them
Then why are the images different
idk im at same account but i have ff14 1 ff14 2
So 2 different accounts
Then they’re not the same
That's 2 different accounts
No
Different service accounts are completely isolated from each other
The only thing they directly share is log in info
oke i made mistake and fucked whole money?
cant buy same game 2 time or dont get another sub time
If you want to use the active account you need to launch not from steam
and buy game again?
No
i buy game at steam
It shows that the second non steam account owns it
As shown by the standard tag
Should even say what you own if you scroll down on that page
for allied beast tribe quests can you just be sworn with 0/1730 with all the tribes or do you need to max out the bar for all of the tribes
Maxed
sorry for my bad english but vinly can i change 30 day to steam? cuz i bouth starter editon at steam

and starter editon is not come with 30day gameplay right?
rip
i thought that was just a shb thing
ok thanks
i thought heavensward only needed sworn
Starter Edition comes with 30 days of sub time. It looks like your problem is that you are trying to use the wrong launcher.
im using steam launcher
But your account that you showed above has a PC license, not a Steam license.
The two are mutually exclusive - you can only have one or the other on a single service account, not both.
You can't use the Steam launcher to launch the PC version of the game, nor can you use the PC launcher to launch the Steam version.
At least You figured out how to log on to one of them
are an FC room and an apartment the same size? some are telling me the fc room is smaller
Same size
ty
yar
all of them drop at least one chest and leg piece
So, has anyone set up a calendar/schedule for expected dates for housing lottery? All I find on the internet is people talking about the lottery resuming in May, but I haven't seen any sort of calendar to know when bidding periods open again
No cause it's a set cycle
It’s already back
5 days lottery, 4 days results and repeat
Plus can check timers and placard for reminder for the period we're on
Fair enough. I just wanted to know if there was something I could check outside of game
I mean, the easiest thing I could suggest would be to make a nine-day recurring alert in your calendar for the start of the bidding period, and then a nine-day recurring alert for the start of the results period.
That's actually not a bad idea
Just don't know when the next bidding period starts. Timers just tells me which period we're in
Yay, 1 more hour!
How many partitions are needed to cover an apartment?
do machinists have multiple weapon types? I see sniper rifles, and ones that look like large pistols, but I cant tell if they just happen to look different or if they actually support multiple playstyles
is The extra materia slot on the ultiamte weapon an x materia?
or ix
like crafter overmeld
10
thought so
They’re all one weapon
green slots are all guarenteed
all MCHs play the same
You're not a gunslinger, you're a mech user who happens to have a firearm is how i'd describe the fantasy
And no Such thing as different playstyles for any job
You're either playing it correctly or you're not
damn, I expected as much but I still really hoped there would be a couple different weapon types for machinist, kind of like how scholar and summoner share xp, but with guns instead
I hope that made sense
And both use books
They tried, but up until Shadowbringers because they even shared a class skills if they adjusted one then the other would be impacted as well
Scholar is and should be considered a completely seperate job from summoner as a result
No job changes what weapon they use, at any point
But a gunslinger would be so cool
im sure if you hunt enough, you can find a pistol you like,
and use that for glamour, i believe there are a few MCH weapons that look like that
They decided to lean into the MCH (mech) aspect with the ShB rework. With a new ranged DPS coming next expansion (probably) who knows what they'll do.
on the bright side you do get a variety of weapons as part of your abilities themselves, but its usually you pulling out a large auto ballista or flamethrower
Wonder when they’ll address this for the sake of streamlining
oke guys im rdy 47minutes and im rdy and if they refund my money for sub(i bouth for another service by mistake) i can buy all expansion to and become full ff14 player:D lets go starting new game is everytime fun
They already did, it's called the SHB rework
And what did the rework entail?
any further reworking would require breaking the game, or something along those lines according to the relevant live letter
quite literally removing everything ACN from Scholar, except for the raise spell.
Dropping additional class requirements for all jobs
Ah I see
I was thinking more along the lines of separating them further but yeah would be impossible
As that would mean giving either summoner or scholar a base class separate from arcanist which would be pointless
They already have separate books so that should be enough
Would be interesting if they went back retroactively and gave the other base classes a secondary job path
Gladiator to idk Blademaster or something, dual wield swords
😳
They literally hate classes and hate arcanist split
Considering how much YoshiP hates the job stone system, that's unlikely to happen.
They would never do it again
So what’s the alternative
Waiting for the next FF MMO
Make it unlock like an expansion job, just get any job to 30 and you can get it
Probably
Jobs are Tied to nfts blockchain tech
This is more of a #general-discussion at this point, but the alternative would be simply that there are no base classes, much the way expansion jobs work.
We’d still need stones tho
No
Or just swap weapons
Jobs are tied to weapons as it is.
Jobs are nice tho
The job stones are simply an artifact of an older system.
do ff14 has proffesions?
Yes
yes, 11 of them
Battle and trade/craft
Crafters/gatherers
should i chose 1 or do all of them?
You ideally do all at once
If you want to be efficient, which you do
Or waste a fuck ton of money for no reason
Professions in XIV are similar to real classes, you can pick all of them, and each has its own gear and abilities.
oh not like wow then
preferably all of them because the materials and gear they create/gather/use all cross with at least one to two other jobs
except for CUL
Nothing like WoW, no
dont need combo 2 pforresion and can do all of
Professions in XIV are basically an entire subgenre of PvE content.
They've got their own quests and everything
are there guides on how to play specific jobs for pvp?
yes, but i find that the official PVP guide and reading tooltips is generally enough
Read your skills, and practice
still cant believe whm cure 2 in pvp is a cast
that threw me off so hard from when i played scholar
thanks, like practice at the Wolf Pier?
Yes
ok.
Not if you use Seraph Strike first it's not.
thats 3 aint it
and jobs in pvp are pretty balanced right?
Eeeeh
Ish
To an extent
They do their best to keep things as balanced in PvP as they are in PvE
But it's difficult
Insufficient data
Relatively speaking, with some exceptions. Notably ones who don't have a short cooldown CC tend to struggle with kill confirms in my personal experience, but as long as someone has a stun it ain't too bad.
hmm I see
It also helps if you pick your shots; a person disengaging from a teamfight is likely very low on resources and can often be quickly burned down—and if not, catching them out and preventing them from safely potting can sometimes give attentive teammates time to notice and collapse on them.
Frontlines, on the other hand, is .... a lot of chaos.
i love chaos!
i feel less bad for losing on frontlines if there's 24 people on a single team
CHAOS? cough yeah current PVP was designed for CC first and most of the Frontlines fixes are a patch job. I wouldn't recommend treating frontlines seriously, cause the kits are quite literally not designed for it
what is the best server for eu ? most crowded
Any
Any
Yes.
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Southeast Asian and Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Content isn't server-locked. Party-based content pulls from your entire datacenter.
So you'll never be short on people to play with.
You queue with every world on your datacenter, so the only thing that matters, as the FAQ says, is Free Companies and Linkshells.
Because it was a good game. Nothing wrong with trying something new.
XIV is a game whose devs literally looked at WoW and said "these things are good, and here's things we think could be done better"
XIV has a lot of features that represent the very best parts of WotLK-era WoW
They took WoW and used it as a template. It's not necessarily "better" - plenty of people don't like things in XIV like the intense story focus, or the 2.5s gcd
"beating" a game is never good for a gamer in general, it means less variety for everyone to pick from. I just hope blizzard learns from their mistakes.
At the risk of driving this discussion further off-topic... they apparently haven't. The next expansion is slated to release by the end of this year.
is there a way to enter this without waiting for the following day/time? for gpose purposes if ever

How do I unhide the chat bar
press enter or any action that tabs your focus into the chat log
hey guys whats the button/key to open performance system? accidentally skipped tutorial
xd
what's the point of perfect balance?
extending that question; why does formless self let me do bonuses on ALL of my stance actions for half a minute?
At early levels it's just for letting you use any weapon skill without following the combo routes. At 60 and above, it's tied to a specific mechanic that requires you to use them in a certain order like NIN mudras.
with literally no repercussions
I can just spam dragon kick to bootshine till the cows come home
First off pretty sure it doesn’t
!action formless self
!action form shift
Grants Formless Fist to self, allowing the execution of a weaponskill that requires a certain form, without being in that form.
Duration: 30s
Any additional effects associated with the executed action will also be applied.
A weapon skill
like all my other form attacks
how is this relevant? (just saying for the sake of curiosity)
you use it prepull so you can set up your rotation without starting with no-form bootshine or dragon kick
but otherwise its just an easy way to restart your rotation
useful if you die or the boss goes untargetable
so form shift lets you get combos off the bat
and perfect balance gets your combo back in the groove
Well later on you use PB on cooldown because it enables a second job mechanic, the solar and lunar gauge
ah, something that I was just mentioned in the MNK questline
I'll figure out the beast chakra and the sun and moon thing when I get there
ye, that's at 60 iirc
I'm seeing a combo about it, and it's starting to get a little overwhelming
maybe some visual graph can help me with it
Masterful blitz will change correspond to how many different charkra you currently have (3 of the same to 3 different kinds), the same is exactly your bootshine>dragon>bootshine, the 3 differences are just follow your rotation (6 3-step combos)
And then the 2 of these, one of that to fix your mess up rotation
guys
what is the lettes at monster? sometimes H sometimes N sometimes D bring why
thats just to tell you how many there are
you are fighting a/b/c then you are fighting 3 of the same mob
not just same mob
ah is it mobs in general
it applies to any and all mobs you get enmity on
well there ya go
its a tagging system that largely no one really uses
oh oke
im p sure its just a relic of FF as a franchise
When there are multiple enemies in the area, the game will assign them a letter so others know which you're targeting. So, as an example, you can say you're targeting Marmot K and people can identify.
Yep classic FF differentiator
Do you want to know something specific? Because a lot of people play black mage
did you use a f3 proc instead of a regular f3
!trait Aspect Mastery
Casting of certain fire and ice spells will grant a stack of Astral Fire and Umbral Ice respectively.
Maximum Stacks: 1
Duration: 15s
While under the effect of either Astral Fire or Umbral Ice, casting a spell of the opposite element will consume no MP.
Effect does not apply to Flare.
oh if i spam fire want more mana
Cus astral fire increase fire spell damage in exchange for more mp cost and stop mp regen
control i
thnx love u tons of settings cant find some
there is an entire menu for keybinds, go through it
i did and didnt find prob didnt see
esc > keybinds
no i mean i find keybinds but didnt find armor bag but i find later:D
when will pvp series reward reset?
when its the next series
6.2
anyone has a idea how to fix this
when i change it chat front still small 😄
thats the world visit title
something like that
ok
will this reset in 6.18 when Season 2 of PvP starts or is that a different thin
Since we can't see what's in your pc, just gonna have to try the shotgun method:
(in order from top to bottom, assuming windows)
Run ff14.exe as admin
Run steam as admin
Change windows user account control settings to max (always notify)
Run dx10 if using dx11
Update all drivers
Disable any 3rd party apps that hook/overlay on ff14 (steam overlay, MSI afterburner, discord, xbox game bar, etc.)
Reinstall
PvP Series = major patch. So 6.1 is Series 1. 6.2 will be series 2. And so on.
thx
when blackmages got aoe skill?:D
no, dont run ff14 as admin, ever, please,
Square Enix does dodgy stuff with folder permissions when the game starts, and that has a chance to cause your local settings to break.
it can cause hotbars to stop saving and screenshotting to stop working

(also dont run steam as admin, as that will just run ff14 as admin)
neither of those will fix the issue
lol hp potions are blue :ÇS
maybe they don't use the steam version 
changing UAC to max, also wont change anything, all that does is tell windows how to notify you if something asks for admin access, not how it actually works
though i do agree with the rest of your suggestions
the error, is an internal FF14 error, but stuff like drivers and overlays can cause the game to misbehave and crash out
also, we do have #952326072542847016 for stuff like this. FYI
should i do fate quest?
sure, why not
theyre nothing special, just random events in the world you can help with for experience and gil
thanks
Is there anyway to gift/trade a weapons coffee? Wanna give a weapon to my bro’s char
It’s from the Ifrit primal
then no and just buy him the weapon on the mb
Gotcha
if you get into dungeons with people who are just doing roulettes, a lot of them dont care about the loot, so the just dont roll for it
also, this is a Questions channel, if you just want to chat about stuff, go to #beginner-lounge
oke
im trying to get battle actions in gpose but its not working. is that not a thing?
U have to do the action and then switch to gpose
You have to use the action first
Gpose Always replays ur last animation
yeah i did but when i go in gpose it just does the last emote i did instead of battle animation
Meaning things that need a target, need a target
If it needs a target, you need to use a dummy or something
even if its aoe
there are some aoes that don't require a target to be cast
like Holy
yeah im doing Tech step
You could also turn off loop motion in the settings
Is there a way to make it so flipping between targets in pvp only targets people in range?
is there a way to make it so right clicking deprioritizes people? i keep trying to click on npc's or aetheryte and it seems to prioritize the people standing infront of them, even if i click way over their heads
unless im realllly careful on my placement
Use the confirm button
Num 0
there is also a Target Filter feature, where you hold down a buttin (x by default i think) and it makes the cursor only be able to target certain things
check out the settings under Character Configuration > Control Settings > Target > Click Filter Settings (at the bottom)
Keybind is called Target Filters, under Keybinds > System
it also makes it so it will snap selection to whatever is nearest the mouse, so you dont have to be so precise (fantastic feature for controller players id assume)
what's snap selection? like casting a spell without having a target?
uh no, snap selection, as in have the mouse Near who you want to select, and it will still select them when you click
if you want to cast spell without a target selected, you can do that already
thats a different setting, which will make you automatically target someone in front of you then cast
to expand on it, it appears like a small dot, over the center of the character nearest your mouse, when holding down the Target filter hotkey. That NPC or whatever else you have setup in the filter, will be selected when you click.
when pressing the button, it also hides player nameplates
so you can see what you want to click better
great for example for clicking the summoning bell when there are 10 people around it
example
see my mouse at the left
well, the summoning bell has a dot on it and highlighted, even though my mouse isnt on it
because i have the target filter button pressed down
and my filters, dont allow me to click players
so next closest thing it does allow, is the bell, if i then right click, well it then opens the summoning bell and i can talk to my retainers 😄
my filter is set to NPCs/Objects and enemies,
now, to expand on this one, this is just enabling these settings in Character Configuration > Control Settings > Target
then if you cast a spell/ability that needs a target. but have none selected, it will pick one close in front of you , target it automatically then cast the spell/ability
If I buy a mount, does it come into my mailbox and if so, how long does it normally take?
via the mogstation store you mean? yes, comes via mail
can take up to 24h, but usually arrives within 1h
ok ty ❤️
lot of useful info there, thanks. i guess there's no way to make it default to using this method when you right click?
uh no, not that i know of
honestly i dont use it, its easy to just tap num0 if there are a lot of ppl around
ive just been finding myself running into a lot of instances lately where ill be trying to click on something and click the wrong thing multiple times before getting it right. i dont remember having this trouble when i last played like a lil less than a year ago
could be a side effect of my ui scaling being turned up, playing wiht a monitor a lil further away than usual for a lil bit
So today I tried logging into the game via launcher and Im getting this error

does anyone know how to resolve it?
last time I played was like 3-4 months ago without any authentication issues
yeah, I tried that but I guess email is not the one thats connected to the account eventhough it lets me change it
Sent a ticket to support but yeah
can I only get replica anima weapons after finishing the next stage? I have sharpened but the restoration node only goes up to the one before
Does anyone know if there's a second hud I could add to have afflicted debuffs separate from the boss's HP bar?
Yes
Click the cog in the HUD layout menu when you have the Target UI selected
That lets you break the UI into multiple pieces
Oooh, thank you!
Kinda need a japanese player to answer this one.
Going from HW onward, did english translators gave themselves more liberties like they did with Haurchefaunt and Midgardsormr?
With light of those two I have a very hard time believing that ||twins father had disowned them only to totally get them on the ship later on.||
I smell foul political play here to make him look like a bad father who then turns into a good father.
That's why I'd like to know if Fourchenault actually said what he said in EW when we first meet him in the original japanese version.
Those two examples are really the only times English and Japanese deviate from each other to a notable amount, AFAIK.
Not so sure about that.
Another examples is Estinien being more friendly and casual to WoL during HW rather than being stoic and official.
Also "that" scene with Y'shtola where Estinien response is more like "I think something is off about her" rather than "ready your arms"
He’s pretty stoic in HW, not sure what you mean
Not sure about the HW bit since I heard a rumor. But I did watched that scene with Y'shtola.
I dont know japanese very well but from what tidbits I more or less recognize his response is more of a confused dude than a man ready for battle.
Petty thing I know, but if they gave themselves liberties with small things then what would stop them with bigger parts of the story?
Because They work together with the script, so that’s not gonna happen
The localisation team works in-house innit?
Like Koji works on the story too
Middy’s dialogue in ARR was basically their main mistake that made them work closer together
They can't just change story aspects
so going back to the original question
The context in the Japanese version is the same.
Also, this question is better asked in #archived-lore-spoilers . But here you go.
I see. Thanks.
btw do they have live support for EU servers too? I remeber there only being one for US
Are there MMD models of base races out there, like no gear equipped/fresh out of character creation looking models? Trying to just find normal lalafell/miqo'te models to use for pose references but all I'm finding are NPC's.
So I've got in mind to transfer over to one of those new Light DC Worlds when the patch's due, but from my understanding besides not owning a plot or house (since I never dabble in that stuff in the first place) you also got to have all the items/certain amount of gil retrieved from your retainers and leave your FC, or am I missing other details?
Retainers will transfer over along with your character. No need to remove their items or gil.
And unless you're approaching the gil cap (999m) gil shouldn't be a problem either.
From what I understand about the furniture compensation, you'll actually want to buy an appartment before transfering (if you don't have one yet) since that essentially gets you a free 500k.
Hmm, I see, and thanks for the reply @autumn anvil
How do you transfer fc ownership
whoever is currently the fc leader just has to promote someone else to leader
wdym?
not as far as I know, no
they have to be a member for 30 days to receive ownership
You might need to be the 2nd highest rank in the FC too
I am doing beast tribe ||pixie||
I have gotten the notification I can now get more quests
But every day it's 3 max
Is that normal?
