i never do relick wepons, which one is the easiest to get for solo playrs
i reached lv 90 reaper by just doing everything solo or use duty finder
Ohh
The answer is anima either way
never clicked anything in party finder or /shout
Anima weapons
ty
Which reaper doesn’t have, for obvious reasons
They're by extension the easiest weapon. I'd also say Eureka
But
Reaper doesn't have a relic there either
They don’t have a relic period
Reaper has no relics until like. Idk 6.2
wht level is anima weapon? i have lv 70 bard
Passive as heck, easy as shit
Having a huge issue with this game, maybe somebody here can help? I bought the starter edition, I already have a SE account. It literally wont let me click next. I can't do anything.
Did you register the code on mogstation
And are you sure you’re using the full game launcher
Im a steam user?
I downloaded the game and ran it from Steam, thats the only launcher I have
!faq mogstation
You have to register the code through the site?
You maybe on steam but you still need to access everything on mogstation
Steam is only for the launcher
Yes
And what you play the game through and or if you buy sub thru steam wallet
Please check what we said to check tho
Thats so awkward... guess I'll go do that
Even PS4/5 players need mogstation too
no
why it say collector editon has statue 😄
figure
The physical collector’s boxes aren’t sold past launch
physical was out of stock like one day after release and you can see the price difference
then whats diffrent collector editon and normal just mount?:D
a couple cosmetics which you can buy separately later
Well, I went to the mogstation and put my steam code in. Now it says I have the standard (steam) edition, but it still wont let me click 'next' in the launcher. This is the only thing I have in my library to launch it from. Surely that's the right launcher
you can "upgrade" to collectors' through mogstation
Endwalker Digital Collector’s is the Arion mount, Wind-up Porom minion, and Death Scythe reaper glamour weapon.
Have u closed and opened it again
Digital Download - $59.99 at mog statin and
Yes, I even reinstalled the whole thing
They’re the exact same price
That's not the same product
What region?
Are u sure u can't click on any of the blue text
europe
Dude, don’t try and tell us we’re wrong about this. Because we definitely know how the prices work
No, they aren't hyperlinks
I've tried
I'm 100% percent sure. I bought the standard, thats the only FF in my library.
you just click next to set up the account and enter the code through the launcher, no?
According to them, they’re using steam
And we still didn’t get an answer about the account status
tried to uninstall/remove all ffxiv stuff be it free trial or normal steam launcher, then restarted your pc and tried to install again
oke guys i bouth collector editon but where can i find cd key? lol steam not showing it
It’s an upgrade on your mogstation account, there’s no key
And if you bought it on steam in the first place you would have redeemed it with the expansion
And I don't think steam let's you buy a ce after you already own the base expansion
So yeah what specifically did you buy and where
hell yeah lets goooooooo i did it
can i change race wihtout price or need start from 0?
Buy fantasia or start from scratch
open up the following file in notepad
Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\FFXIV_BOOT.cfg
Change "StartupCompleted 0" to "StartupCompleted 1" (just replace the 0 with a 1)
that should bypass that setup screen
whether it lets you actually login, i dont know
fantasia? ingame or webshop?
oh game start download another 20gb
And there's one included in the heavensward collectors edition if you buy that
Otherwise, 5 bucks iirc
10 USD for a Fantasia
oke lets start from 0 i didnt make tons of quest already. can i pick anyclass from begginning now? like dancer? or red mage?
No it's the same starter classes
Jobs introduced in later expansions start at higher levels
The expansion jobs are unlocked via quests
And by extension have level requirements to unlock
nooooooooooooo btw its oke
!whoami
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Job
^ list there, shows "Prerequisites"
i bought cheap endwalker and i can play with bunnygirls now
Don't worry you can have all the jobs on one character
its oke iwll delete my 15-16lvl char and go new bunnygirl
Does the time in game follows the real world time?
Aight have fun and remember the single most popular piece of gear for bunny girls isn't til level 80
No, eorzea time is it’s own thing
No, for the most part, depends what you mean
Daily reset and the cactpot etc all run on real world time
Day night cycle is eorzea time
wait what
With a day being and hour ish iirc
ok thanks
dont do this to me
Wait which one is that 
2B thigh highs are from shadowbringers alliance raid
Oh
👍
I'm about 65% just mocking you
Luckily the 2nd most popular gear set is just the racial starter so you should be fine.
Also viera used to have like claw hands but they were nerfed for ff14
all classes balanced here? there is no meta exit right?
The meta is play what you want
Yep
!faq meta
Damage difference between top and lowest DPS job is usually around 10%
Which is pretty close compared to other MMOs
- In ultra-tryhard endgame content, where people are playing those jobs to their max
Parse runs are a beast of their own
And that's also across all roles iirc
If you’re referring to that.
nah
speedkills are what you're talking about
blm to smn 
Wtf are you talking about I said within a role, smn is a ranged not a cadter
Samurai casts more than summoner
what is the best job armor for bunnygirl guys whats ur favs?
Not a question for here
My dude, you're just starting out, I'd wait and get some progress under your belt before you go looking into full glam
Mostly cuz you won't be able to afford it
but unironically 1-2% is very small
tanks are ~4% dif
healers i have no fucking idea
melee i wanna say ~4% dif
casters ~6% dif
and ranged ~7% dif
Or worse, no access to the stuff that gives you untradable glam items.
between lowest and highest dps off of p1s max parses
that's still small enough, however
to be affected by skill heavily
a good mch will outdps a mediocre ninja
Are there any quests like the Feast of Famine quest?
Just in case i finish for post-ARR big fishes and it turns out i need em for a quest
Job quests, leves, crystalline mean and studium
I think there was a feast of famine sequel but I'm not 100%
Feast of Famine is the only quest “like that”
Or was it a prequel
I.e. super rare big fish chain
There's 2 big rare fish quests in arr iirc
There’s no other fish that you’ll regret if you don’t keep it for a quest
Yeah, Feast of Famine followed up Beast of Brewer’s Beacon
Which is much easier
Thanks
is there any website for char templates?
No
Not really
I don’t know why you’d want a template, it’s your character. Make them your own
Yeah copying other people’s chars is not really encouraged in the culture of this game
Or most games with chargen
Heyaa, im looking for a fc but idk how i can do, if you can help me please
!faq communityfinder
for the bozja relic how do i get memories of harrowing doing hinterland fates idk if bad rng or wrong place
The job starting gear is quite nice
Fran's outfit, iconic
Female Viera that is
!faq memoryfates

18 Vexatious Memory of the Dying (Yellow Crystal)
The Ruby Sea
Yanxia
The Azim Steppe
guess its bad rng
thats what the guide sid but ive done 8 fates 0 drops
Have the quest open?
balls
You can't get it if you don't have that quest
If you intend to farm multiple weapon, you'll need to keep it open and farm the total amount needed for all weapons
tyy! Do you know Where i can find a french fc ?
!faq communityfinder
Cauz of all the fc are en
prolly look for a tag in there for french
oh okay mb my phone would open This site
is this add-on to the current game?
I didnt see everything
Nope
Thanks ! @patent citrus @modest igloo
It's just sound improvement afaik
better sound in game ?
That’s for specific sound settings
ooo
Only for headphone? Not sure
You basically email the company a picture of your ear, and they use that to tailor sound output for your headphones
oh so it doesnt really matter
Wait is that serious? Some SQ improvement thing...
I didn't see the post the picture of your ears in that screenshot..
I remember it from the promo video they used to show it off
Ok Ty Ty, so it's personalised per person? How the
yeah they had a whole like 30 minute presentation on it on one of the liveletters or fanfests
all i know is that it.... wasnt very good lmao
the in-game sound already so good anyway
I've had friends who tried it and says its really good
Yeah I'm not sound and speakers nerds. I'm ok with the default
it's probably good if you get a personalized one, like the previews on youtube are gonna sound odd cause it's like trying on someone else's glasses
But I can understand for people who are into it
it needs to be adjusted to the shape of your ear and stuff
how important are crafting jobs at like <lvl20
i assume not very. when do they start to really come in handy?
Always and never
You can play the entire game and never need crafting
Being able to repair ur gear on the fly is rather useful in endgame progging tho afaik
any of them helpful for glam?
literally only in early stage ultimate progging
idk how the gear works in this game
most of the stuff you can make as a crafter you can also just buy
if you wanna do it, do it, if not, never need to
ok ty
im a new player and quit cause the story was too much for me
i dont really enjoy story and just want combat i read that combat gets good at above level 50
whats combat like above level 50
2.5 gcd is needed just to keep up with everything going on
global cool down
@leaden ginkgo this is a fight at lvl 90
keep an eye on the hotbar and try to keep up with what they are pressing
even if you pay for a story and a job skip you will need to do a fair amount of story to get to end game content.
exactly. like a pretty big amount of story. the game gates nearly everything behind story. doesn't matter if you level skip and grind up to cap. still locked behind story
Literally everything in the game is gated by main story progress
Anyone know what this housing item is and how to get it? Feel free to dm me if it's spoilery since it looks kinda EW-ish themed
its ramuh's crafted item
awesome, thanks!
i want to breed the perfect chocobo, whats a good way to do it
is it doing it when its low pedigree or 8
why is 80-81 so hard to obtain xD
If you do everysingle roulette and you are level 80 you wll only gain 1 level, but if you are 81 and do all the rulettes, youll get at least 2 or 3
for the bitter memories part of bozja relic weapon can i spam duty roulette leveling or is it once per day
once a day
dont suppose i unsync lvl 60 dungeons for it then
nope
has to be synced or my only other choice is more bojza fates
i think the bozja fates are like 20% still or somethin so dungeons are the way to go
technically dont need to do the fates
you can just farm any mob in the zone as they all have a chance of dropping it
but yes if you want to do it quickly, sync'd antitower is generally the way to go
When do we unlock mounts?
!faq mount
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
it has to be lvl 60 or lvl 60+ dungeons kinda hoping to do sb dungeons for cards 2 birds one stone
has to be 60
alrighty back to matoyas cave
can you breed 2 chocobo if they have the same parent
yes you can
wait you can breed chocobos?
oh fuck yeah getting the game rn
ark survival evolved has prepeared me for this
yay
It's side content linked to chocobo racing at the gold saucer.
How hard is pvp now after the changes? I saw a few rewards i would like from it but it requires me to play it.
its pretty easy to pick up and play
It's PvP-hard. The Crystalline Conflict mode is easy to understand, at least, and most people consider it fun enough to play even if they (like me) don't necessarily enjoy PvP
just pick an easy class
Difficulty mainly comes from the fact that you're playing with other humans against other humans.
I see, I see. So getting the currency shouldnt be hard enough or not that troublesome.
dragoon is very straightforward and not complicated
Is samurai an easy class? Or Ninja? Those 2 i have geared and quiet leveled up.
maybe don't pick something like ninja or BLM right away
samurai is easier than ninja
gear doesnt matter for pvp
You get currency regardless of win or loss, so yes, it's not particularly difficult to get currency or rank up your battlepass.
Battlepass? There is one in FFXIV?
that being said, the fastest way to level up the battle pass is by doing 5v5 CC
frontlines is a lot slower
Yes, the battlepass is new
It's the source of a new PvP currency as well as a handful of glamour/adventurer card things.
My friend quit ffxiv and I want that twintania mount, are there anyways to rebind another player or I'll have to pay his sub so I can get the mount
Trying to catch some big fish. The wiki says I need to snag it. So is there some special skill I need to do to snag or do I just turn it on and hook normally?
You can post your RAF code on the reddit RAF thread.
but I already bind with him, which he is now quitted
You can RAF more than one person
You can have multiple people
fun thought
if you entered a savage instance like 5 mins before weekly reset
and you clear after the reset
does the loot count for the previous week or the next week
could you enter again and reclear for 2 instances of loot?
It counts for the week when you entered the instance.
ok that's what I thought, thanks
what about for the purposes of queue?
what if you queued Aglaia 5 mins before weekly reset, then entered after reset
It locks when you enter the instance, not when you enter the queue.
Also, I think only Savage locks upon entering the instance.
Aglaia would be like roulettes
If you finish after reset, then it counts towards the reset when you finish, not when you start.
I'm not positive about that, though. I've never cut my clears that close.
I don't see why either instance would behave differently
Savage is a special case.
savage does from what i've heard
the balance people prolly know
they tend to do that type of stuff
well a friend of mine entered leveling before reset and cleared after and did not get the daily bonus for today
which is why I'm wondering
so alliance raid should at least work like leveling roulette no?
Leveling roulette calculates rewards on completion
Are you sure your friend didn't finish before reset?
yea idk about their exact time frame
just that they didn't receive the daily bonus yet and had to requeue
oh well, I can test it myself later if I want
Daily and weekly reset are different times
Weekly reset happens earlier than daily, and roulettes go off the daily timer
So your friend could have completed the roulette after the weekly reset but before the daily.
Hello~! I just bought the steam basic version of the game. And I have been wondering, does it go to level 50 ? Or above this ? 🤔 And the only other option is "Endwalker" Does this contain previous expansions up to it as well ? Or is that already contained in the basic version UP to endwalker content ? ;o
!faq buy
Click here for NA
Click here for EU
Click here for JP
Before purchasing, you may wish to try out the game with the Free Trial, which allows you to experience the game up to level 60 with no limitations on playtime, albeit with some social and trade-related restrictions. See !faq freetrial for info.
Please be aware that FFXIV is a subscription-based game, and after purchasing the game you must pay for each month of play. There is no way to return to being a Free Trial player after you have registered a purchased copy of the game to your account; you must pay to log in and continue playing.
PC users: make sure to buy the game on your preferred store (Steam vs. Square Enix Store). Purchasing the game on Steam locks you into using Steam for all future expansion purchases, and similarly purchasing it via Square Enix Store or any other non-Steam retailer locks you out of ever using Steam to play FFXIV. After your game code has been registered to your FFXIV account, this decision can never be changed.
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition:
AKA the ''base game.'' Gives access to A Realm Reborn and Heavensward. This is the same content that you can play during the Free Trial, but with the Free Trial restrictions on social interactions, trading, PvP etc. lifted. Comes with 30 days of subscription time.
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker:
Gives access to Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and the latest expansion, Endwalker. Does not include any bonus subscription time.
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition:
Combines all of the above into a single purchase (including the 30 days of subscription time). This cannot be used if you have already registered the Starter Edition.

Thanks 🤩
so I cant get my friend who is a active player for quite a time , does it means I can bind multiple player but that player must be a new player, yes?
yes
uh shit
Yes, any player who has registered the game, but has not paid for a sub yet.
if someone is a vet they don't qualify to be the "new" person in RAF
there is like a month leeway
so if they bought the game and are just riding in the free 30 days they'd still qualify
well I don't have friends who would try ff14 anymore, get like 4 guys but 1 stay 1 left after 6.0, 2 never passed 2.0 :(
Again
That's the utility of the reddit thread.
You post your code
People will use it
You'll get rewards
You have no other obligation to them.
oh thats not a thread on ffxiv reddit and it's a diffrent sub? no wonder I couldnt find it
It may be called recruit a "friend", but you don't actually have to be friends.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxivraf/ I found this one this is correct
thanks for the answering
Entering the Wolves Den, I lost all my hotbars. I assume PvP uses its own set- can I tell it to keep my PvE hotbars 9 and 10? It contains my job switching stuff
You should be able to, yes
Where would I find those settings?
I think it would be shared hotbars, just like you'd do for PvE bars.
You can't transfer pve to pvp
They're entirely separate
That... yuck. Alright.
Question about skysteel tool recipes. I've completed the Mislaid Plans quest and got the skysteel saw. I'm trying to start the upgrade for it but I have no Skysteel Tools recipes.
I switched over to Special Recipes, scrolled down to Ishgard Restoration and only have the normal restoration recipes for turning in in the firmament. no tools.
Best free trial melee?
you can also have them all on one character anyways
so try em out and pick the one you like
Whatever you want
you can literally have all of them
Didnt know that
so go by rule of cool for what you want to play
Or pick by starting zone since that's determined by class.
can i get him as a pet from somewhere by chance? he seems to be part of the 60+ dragoon quest
i think thats the same as the wind-up dragonet from the moogle beast tribes
It won't be that big
size, obviously 😄 i turned camera a bit so he is better to be seen after all
and yeah wind up dragonet seems a bit more blue instead of the pale color but i can definitely see it, thanks!
check ishgard restoration there might be a white one there too
the one paragon is talking about is called wind up ohl deeeh
or rather there is another one from the moogle tribe that's same colour as ohl deeh
I hit sworn reputation on the Tribal quests today for the elephants but I didn't get any bonus dailies? Is this new?
Nope
sworn and bloodsworn dont give extra dailies
why isn't that in the wiki then?
ask the wiki staff? 
Well #1 console games wiki is shit
Hi. I have a question about the ShB relic grind. Do I have to finish the whole story of Bozja for the final relic(Blades)
No
I see
Easier and better
I just found out that there’s dungeons there and quite afraid to do it. I mean the CLL and delibrium
Literally 24man difficultly
how come sometimes when i complete a reputation quest for a tribe i can do more daily quests and other times i cant?
Most rank up quests give you a bonus, allowing you you to do three more quests for them.
Not all, mind.
Ranking up to sworn doesn’t, like it told you
In a black text box
hello, can anyone explain to me why im unable to use /p in crystalline conflict while my party members seem to be able to talk in it
You can't use normal chat in PVP
Party chat is not enabled, they are using the quickchat function
You can only use the PvP quickchat
hey yeah what are these
ah
I know we've got a faq for that if I can just remember the command for it...
oooh it looked normal to me, mustve been quickchat indeed, didnt occur to me
ty peeps!
It would look like normal party chat because quickchat prints specific preprogrammed phrases in the party channel, playing a corresponding sound effect.
yes i realise that now, that was a dumb qs. ty! :]
Yeah, pick the prewritten chat from /pvpprofile
I’m contemplating paying to do a data center transfer so I can play with a friend.
I know that the service will become free in the future, but would it be worth it to pay now or wait? I forget how far off the patch is
Transferring will only ever be free if you're going from a Congested world to a Preferred or New one.
Travel isn't the same as Transfer
It won't become free unless ur destination is a NEW world
So quick question, i accidently bought a mac license for endwalker instead of windows. How do i undo my mistake
You can request a refund from SE support
But yeah, this 5th or July afaik is DC Travel right?
Yea
We don't know for sure when DC Travel will be implemented.
Yes we know
6.18
DC transfer is how much? $20 yeah?
It's 6.18 that's 5th of july
6.18, like they’ve been saying
So if I wait til the 5th, I’ll be able to move from Jenova to Behemoth right?
Just to visit
6.18 is also echo and no weekly restriction or?
You'll be able to visit, yes.
Not move, fam
A transfer changes ur homeworld to there
With that in mind, I’ll still be able to do MSQ with him right?
We don't know all of the restrictions that DC travel will entail other than that they'll be at least the same as Server visit.
Yeah
I mean, that would be bare minimum assumption
Regarding PF and DF
I mean i thought its just u can use aether df/pf when ur on aether
They haven't really said much though. They should have details in the LL next week
Have no idea
It's not
Am I getting my timeline mangled?
It's in 2
5th of July
Next week ends on july 3rd
I don't even know what day it is anymore.
Week after is July 5th
Th
LL is on the 1st, right?
Yes
ye
Yeah, so we should probably get some details about DC travel then
how long do they usually take to respond? If you happen to know
Depends on how busy they are.
And whether you're contacting them during business hours.
I think the official line is "up to 48 hours".
Pein, sadge cant believe i didnt pay attention when buying
Is housing data center shared or server specific?
Server
weird thing is i bought through steam, does that automatically make it mac? unsure if anyone else faced this
@glass dawn
No, Steam should default to the Steam PC version.
Also, if you bought through Steam, you'll need to contact Steam support rather than SE support.
hmm, the original question seem to be "mac license for endwalker instead of windows", no?
iirc, steam doesn't have the mac client
Yeah, that's got me scratching my head too
why does the first odin trial take over an hour to get into but others take about 5 minutes?
Because Odin isn't in roulette
because its essentially an extreme
because its almost an EX
rip
it is in mentor roulette
im just trying to get a check mark on them all that i can access right now since i just finished arr
You can make a PF group instead
@opaque anvil you using mac? if you have that, you can still use that code, but you have to buy the mac starter edition, and use the mac launcher.
can wait and just solo it later
That's more likely to get you a group rather than trying to DF it.
no purchased through steam and it came up as mac edition
dunno how you make a pf group
In the Social(?) menu
can you send a screenshot?
Go into Party Finder
of what my license?
i cant find it
are you on trial?
not sure if this is what you meant
yeah, you got the mac version full
when you check your status, does it say Standard or Standard Steam?
and you got the endwalker key from steam?
Not sure about a key but i purchased off steam
like I payed via steam and from memory i clicked the steam option
ah, did you not enter the key then?
nope
if you right click game on steam -> manage -> view cd keys
it should have the endwalker code there
dont see endwalker there, only shadow bringers

did you get this?
i mean im pretty sure i paid via steam
oh, did you mean you paid with steam wallet?
it should be there
Did you buy it in the Steam store, or were you in the SE store?
I bought from SE store which redirected me to steam
yeah, so what could have happened you bought the mac version but you paid with steam wallet
^
trough mogstation
ahhh i see
ugh what a headache to navigate through
i guess next time i should just buy via steam directly
yeah, that is the correct way to buy the steam version
there are no other places where you can buy it from.
i'd bet getting a refund for the mac purchase is going to be a pain
Refunds aren’t really a thing
Since it's been used
you'd have to go trough square enix
there was no code bought
it was straight trough mogstation
I know Steam will refund if you don't attach the game to your account.
yeah i tried a live chat option but aparently cause my acc is listed as eu they couldnt help me
But yeah, if you go through SE or Mogstation and it applies directly to your service account, you're going to have a fight of it, and the most likely outcome will be "sorry, nothing we can do"
Hello I’m thinking of buying the game and wanted to talk to someone to know if this is the game for me I’m on ps4 is anyone willing to answer some questions and maybe convince me to get into this game?
i guess that is an excuse to buy a mac 
ask away
Thank you do you mind if I dm you they could be a lot of questions
All of us here have varied opinions
i'd prefer them to be asked here
You'll get lots of answers, and we don't mind lots of questions
the people who do mind alot of questions is the general channels
If i made a refund via steam, since i paid by there i presume i might get banned
are you able to?
No, that only applies if you try to refund or stop payment on a sub
i think you wanna bring it up with square enix first
The only reason I’m even considering this game is cause I love the look and aesthetic of playing w a spear or lance and very few games give that option I heard this is one of the only game that allow that kind of experience through the lancer/dragoon class is this true?
it is a refund, since it was used as a payment option
I’m pretty sure many games let you use a lance
But hey welcome to the game
Other Final Fantasy games use spears. But yes, we have Dragoons.
good thing, the starter class is lancer -> dragoon, so you can play it right away
Yes, but it's a refund on a game, not a subscription. Only refunding or charge back on subs runs the risk of ban.
sad cant
yeah, it is used as payment option, so it is not a refund of a game
My most important question is how the game balances I’ve seen like huds flooded w icons and it seems all overwhelming as well as camera angles reminiscent of something like wow and I hate the birds eye view I’m more of a devil may cry third person perspective is that an option or a deal breaker
You can customize your UI extensively to show as much or as little as you wish to see.
And you can freely move your camera perspective and distance.
there exists a camera focus mode if that counts as "dmc" third person perspective?
Awesome is this game like a wallet abuser or more of a lite spend I saw a lot of customization and accessories but I’m scared this game is like warframe or destiny in their very expensive marketing
you don't have to pay anything, all cosmetic, only sub
There's extensive cosmetic options that you can get without paying a cent.
Nothing on the store has significant in-game function.
Free trial is plenty of content to find out if the game is good for you/
What’s the difference between free tria and the full game I’m pretty sure I got the game through PlayStation extra
!faq freetrial
Trial only has the starter content
And the above limits
Basically, the free trial is the base game + first expansion with some rather significant social limitations.
Significant how
The gist is main gain and first expansion, with less market and social access. Nothing you need to have fun.
The limitations are right there man, read em
You can't join a player guild or use any chat channels other than /say and /party.
You can't use the market board (auction house)
If you are just looking to party with randoms, you won't notice the limitations.
And you have a hard cap on basic currency (gil)
for example, this is my dragoon hud layout
Aside from that, your experience on the free trial would be exactly the same as if you had purchased the Starter Edition of the game.
Seems manageable
youd probably want to show a playstation layout
This is mine, but I have a lot of stuff purposefully big and showing a lot more info
Yeah, that's someone's personal preference.
And yeah, some of that stuff is not even UI
Like those screens
Those are an ability
That person’s doing VERY optional content
And the game doesn't jump you straight into button spam anyways.
if you could, if you only want to rely on memory skills, you can practically hide all ui elements
latest expansion you got there
You bought the game, so no trial
Oh cool so I get the full experience
!faq subprice
!faq mogstation
Mogstation is how you manage your account and sub stuff
Yes, this is a subscription-based game
That’s interesting never really dealt w that
It's no different from WoW
expacs are a one-time purchase
You buy the game, then pay a small fee monthly.
I never played wow I was just referring to the visual style sorry for confusion
If u don’t pay you can’t play then
Correct
Can I just buy a year subscription
You can buy 6 months at a time.
Not an option
Ah ok half a year isn’t bad
You can also set up recurring monthly payments if you wish, so you don't have to worry about remembering.
I don’t like paying for stuff on a monthly basis
Also, it's good to note that the game is designed in such a way that you can take off and just not play for months or years, and be able to come back and catch up relatively easily later.
How so
The devs straight up ask us to take breaks
There are specific currencies used at the endgame (max level content) to purchase gear used for that max level content.
For healthy reasons I presume
unless you are doing top-tier content from day 1, you won't be missing out due to fomo
you are still doing the same content as everyone is doing, so you are not missing an experience when you are taking breaks
None of the main game content is ever removed - and only seasonal and crossover events are ever limited time.
and old Diadem
There are also systems that make it so that when you need to do dungeons for the purpose of advancing the story, you will never lack people to do them with.
It's extremely user friendly.
I’m usually the skip cutscenes type of person I heard the story is good and worth actually paying attention to I see no reason not to atleast try tho thank you all so far for answering my questions and being nice
yes, the story is a major draw for a lot of people
We obviously encourage people to take the time to enjoy the story, but being perfectly honest, you can skip the cutscenes and still enjoy other elements of the game.
one flaw of being a 'skipper' of such a game, is that you could get easily burnt out by skipping cutscenes
I mean, there's auto-skip
that's for prewatched cutscenes
Auto-skip only applies to previously viewed cutscenes in instances.
You can set up auto play for all cutscenes.
You cannot set up auto skip for unviewed cutscenes.
And the setting does not apply at all to MSQ scenes.
What counts as a scenario cutscene?
stuff like dungeon bosses
Ah, I was wondering how some people got past those so fast. really good to know
hey so im trying to glamour my carbuncle, i have done the quest (an egi by any other name) and its saying that Carbuncle is not a valid pet name, this is the command string im using, whats wrong with it? /petglamour “Carbuncle” “Ifrit-Egi”
switch them
that will change carbuncle into ifrit right?
didnt work, said it wasent a valid pet name
its /egiglamour
no, you don't need to
I have mine glamoured as Garuda-Egi, and it switched with normal Carby
i've seen people running around with ifrit and i wanna do that
did you do /egiglamour?
not working either
You did do the quest right? I mean shouldn’t have to ask but…
how does a novice network work?
yeah i did, have the help menu for this and everything
do it like in that image
its just a chat where only sprouts and mentors exist
you have to be invited to it for your server
if you are a sprout
i did, still saying its not a valid pet name
might just have to give up on odin just wanted the quest out of the way
kinda sucks
or become a mentor to join it
what is its use though?
Make a PF, or Unsync it later
Sitting here for an hour and a half isn’t gonna help
/egiglamour "Carbuncle" "Ifrit-Egi" @errant torrent
Well the idea was to give new players a place to ask mentors questions
If it get used for that or not, depends who's online
yeah but still no idea how to make a pf
or if anyone will actually join
Party > party finder> recruit
that worked, thank you, now if only the game actually explained that properly
just to connect sprouts and mentors
but because its so easy to become a mentor theres often a lot of problems based on the server
can you send a screenshot of where it is?
.
think im blind to it
just unsync it at a higher level.
Do they unlock tome cap when they unlock raid loot?
nope
Or AR gear
Alliance raid
Ah
artifact gear is AF the abbrev afaik
yeah no, I only go in for my token
AR is alliance raid yeah
And buying crafted when 6.2 is coming up and new sets feels like a waste of gear.
I'll just wait my weeks out
How many materia am I gonna have to grind for ARR relics in the trial version?
Assuming I only want the one
!faq zodiac
So 75 total for the longest part. that's gonna take a while, lol.
yeah, people usually just buy from marketboard
but if you are free trial, need to farm them yourself
I think I saw some mention on boosting spirit bonding rates. What's the common farming strat for materia?
I only know that there's a GC/FC buff for it
not sure if there's any food/tonic to boost it even further, afaik there isn't any
!item squadron spiritbonding manual
Hmm... Those potions look easy to craft, unless I'm missing something?
Where do I find these? (For Anima quest)
!faq anima
The unidentifiables have many sources, while the other items can be bought from your grand company or the marketboard
Do I only get 1 rathalos scale+ everytime I do the great hunt extreme?
Yes
@obsidian patio fuck that
It's normal to all exs
I just want the mount
You only need 50 calm down
And it takes like, 2 minutes max unsynced
I just tried it 10 times and beat it once
Make a PF
problem solved
How do I unsync it
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting unrestricted party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
Ok I'll try that
Solo is still very tough at 90
Due to the garula add needing to die fast with no one on Rathalos
So don’t
And it's stupidly insane to que for it
I think ive only rouletted into it once since it came out 
How do I use trophy crystals or can u only use them if you have made it to endwalker?
Spend them with the NPC in the wolves den
Should be the middle NPC inside the ship
I keep dying before I even manage to get to floor 10 in palace of the dead while doing it solo, anything I should be making sure Im doing?
Also you do have high aetherpool right?
usually monsters, I think Ive only died by a trap once
I usually have like +5 armor and +1 weapon
never get weapons from chests
I forget. Can you bring pots into palace?
I dont think so?
Yes you can
I just use the potions I get from the dungeon
But solo should not be attempted with that low of an Aetherpool
how do I get more
Solo is challenge mode and expects you to be well prepared
Run more floors and open silver chests
the floors run out of silver chests though
By my understanding, solo palace is good for levelling your nth class, rather then your first couple
It is not
You don't solo palace for level
people specifically do 51-60 when leveling
regular potd is always second to dungeons and roulettes
its never the best way to level
Especially not since duty support is in ARR
do goldsmiths make jewelry for higher level classes that have good increases for said classes? (not talking about materia melding)
wym "good increases"
goldsmiths make most jewelry period
and gear is a requirement
I cant get to 51 because Im stuck on floor 7
lol yeah i probably should've explained, like jewelry that has say +400 gathering and such for gathering
Run matched runs, not fixed
goldsmiths make jewelry period, theres no alternative
You’ll group up with other people
Nah, leatherworker and Carpenter also start making accessories past 50
Like all crafted items, it just depends on what the thing is made of
can someone help me and a friend with the free version get into a party together?
ask in a city
but is that how i acquire those 400+ increases for jobs or does that come with being higher level/job quests or will i have to make those myselves?
Just get better gear
gearing is linear
If no one here helps, I've heard you can ask random people in atherize plazas to do it.
can't tell or shout in the free version, only say
and melding is a requirement for endgame crafting and gathering
as well as food and pots
then use /say.
Say should be enough
ok thanks
are challenge logs weekly?
Yes
omfg i just now found out after months..
Is there a free company recruitment channel in this discord I don’t see one do I need a certain role
you need a data center role
for example since I have the aether role I can see the #494379215420915712 channel
are element lvls separate across classes or same?
whats resistant rank?
huh i see
Basically Eureka but better in most ways
eureka but warzone™️
cod warzone? never played
That’s not at all what they said
im not sure what they mean by warzone then
They were being Literal
Bozja takes place in the middle of a war
ah ok, sorry i am very dumb and easily take things the other way haha;;..
garleans play call of duty, that's the plot of bozja, totally
Shitposts go in another channel
quick question- i'm making a new alt and wondering how often i should be regearing? is every 10 levels with 2-4 materia melded okay?
Don’t use materia until 90
Materia is useless until endgame
Materia are useless until max level
i'm aware, i had a bunch of it laying around is all!
Just put on new gear whenever you get higher ilvl stuff
you change gear whenever you get a new gear piece thats better
at level caps you get poetics gear
those last 5 levels
as long as you're not a healer with level 30 equips in a level 44 dungeon or something you should be fine
need some help, i lvled my retainer to lvl 70 SMN went to make him a reaper, got the moderen vocation thing hit reset went to make him a reaper and its not an option, i have reaper to 90 on my toon, what did i do wrong
You made them a SMN, if you want a reaper retainer. They have to stay a class the whole time
only certain jobs can get certain classes? i thought any class to 70 did it
oh so i have to lvl like arcanist to 70
Yes
anyone know what exact time aglaia resets?
i completed it around 7PM this tuesday, so im not sure if I can go again this week for a roll
!weekly
ahh okay ty
do you not get AiN rewards in a party?
You do not if it's the maximum queue size
whatever is max for that roulette
it was alliance raid and we were 4, so i still get it?
yes

why cant i locate a player with a name?
that and contacts
contacts you would need to have been in a party with them
ok ill try to go to their world
also make sure when you're using player search you're typing in only the first name or the last name
as player search only searches for one or the other depending on what you have toggled
hmmm neither are working
are you certain they're online?
am not ;;
then there's a possibility thats why you can't find them
since it only searches for players currently online
Lodestone.
So I'm brand new to the game, about to make my first character. I was wondering what a good starting character class would be for a beginner. I was looking at a caster or melee.
Oh, I figured there would be one that are harder then others.
game starts out fairly slowly
hard is subjective
If you want a job that starts off easy and stays relatively simple, then go for Arcanist or Lancer
and holds your hand a far bit tbh so generally easy to get into
Ahh gotcha, maybe I'll give maurader a shot then.
!faq tankguide
if you pick marauder
Oh cool thanks, does anyone have a recommendation for a server? I planned on picking Aether, I read its more raiding focused.
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
duties can be done across a data center
It's technically true
and soon youll be able to travel to other data centers
Oh well then, I appreciate that info.
its really not any more raid focused than the other datacenters
im raiding just fine on primal
You can raid just fine but it's still technically true aether has the stigma of being the "raiding server"
as is crystal and RP w/ balmung and mateus
So stop spreading it around like it’s gospel
In my experience (which, yes, is probably inaccurate bias), Aether also has a "rougher" dynamic - I had conversations on Aether that my friends on Crystal literally do not believe happened.
how do i get the big mgp bucks?
everything only gives like 10-50 that ive found
Challenge log.
fashion report
!faq mgpguide
and chocobo racing
at the gambling area
There is no gambling area
You don't really make the money through gambling. It's like a real casino that way.
The challenge log is several thousand a week (more depending on how much time you're willing to sink; mahjong has decent CL payout but takes forever), and Fashion Report is 60k.
You get lucky or be consistent
at what. what machines
yea but that lasts 2 seconds. i want something to play atleast a bit
Look into Lord of Verminion?
Or Triple Triad.
Triple Triad can take up lots of time.
The gold saucer isn't exactly the focus of the game
Go down stairs and play the botany/mining game
If you want to make it a thing for you, you're gonna have limited options. It's all there.
If you get good at it then it adds up
You can learn to chocobo race or do lord of verminion
I have done neither
You can do triad though a lot of opponents are not in the saucer
Minigames are designed to be little throwaway not something to timesink
how do i do it
do i enter battlehall?
im at the lady
Have you unlocked it? Like, are you seeing opponents?
They'll appear as little card icons on your mini-map.
Duty finder
Kinda new to mmo and stuff , tryna get in but as a blacksmith crafted should i just buy the materials from other players/find someone that can sell me things i need or should i specialise in the others jobs too to get the materials i need myself?
the latter, don't spend money if you don't need to
how do i get achievement tickets? cuz i got a bunch of achievements just now but still no tickets
Pretty much all the crafters intertwine so it's recommended to level them all
Do achievements
You get 1 per 50 points
You uh, wanna rephrase that? How do I get thing, I got a bunch just now but still none?
Achievement certs
Ty for the suggestion I’ll try that
No it's more idk what they mean
fixed it. oops
and the answer is get achievements, if you mean that
