Is that Raid in the Diadem still a thing?
Actually just found out about it
Oh thats sad
would have loved to play that at least once o.o
What does it mean new characters can’t be made in this world rn
i might sound dumb but i just found out i can target by pressing tab. I was also looking around the target settings and saw this. What does this setting do?
!faq tabtarget
New character creation uses the login servers, and if there's a queue to log into a server then new character creation is temporarily suspended.
So I gotta wait for a random to get off to start?
You wait for the server to not be busy
gotta wait for low pop time
Just wait until a later time of day, yeah.
When people in general
are you trying to join an NA server, because it's Peak time rn
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
Yea
Or you find another server
ty!
How do I get another server
by picking another one
give me thirty seconds and I'll show you
The truth.
There's literally a section during character creation it asks you to pick a server
Just go back and pick another
It tells me if I do that my progress will be lost
It's a pretty straightforward answer
Just save your appearance data
I don’t know how to
It should have asked you
I literally just downloaded this game
When you finalise your character's appearance, it gives you the option to save that data as an appearance-data file.
I can’t make it cause it won’t let me generate
If you haven't done anything with that character's appearance yet, then don't worry about it.
You haven't got any progress to lose.
it asks you, after setting up your character's appearance, before you select a server
which means you can create character appearances and save them, without creating an actual character
how do i equip fishing job
like any other job
ive never done it I:
equip the rod they gave you
you equip a fishing rod as your "weapon"
I saved it is there a way to know what server isn’t packed I just picked another just to get the same
ooh got it thx
When picking a server, they show you what's available
i came back here after like 20 hours of playing xd
!faq worldstatus
so i didnt remember
world list, it will show you, if a server is full its not selectable
or greyed out or something
I don’t see that I select the world and do the class stuf and says the same I’ll just go trial and error ig
You can only select worlds that are open
like I said it's peak time, so you're not likely to get in any until morning
When picking them during character creation
That’s honestly kinda ass
It is what it is
How often they do sales on Fantasia? I want to change to a lalafel
not too often
What’s the dragoon stereotype
it used to be floor tank
since the animation locks used to be so bad you'd constantly get snapshotted by an aoe and die
I saw that a lot just death
The melee with a long combo string and lot of jumps
how do i join a frontline campaign pvp thing
Be lv30, have your job stone on and unlock it...also don't be on free trial
rip free trial
In Elder Scrolls Online, it is allowed explicitly by the ZoS to trade cash shop items for in-game gold vice versa and there's even community Discord for trading it as well with brokers to prevent people getting scammed. Do we have one for ffxiv?
Hmm...
you can't trade cash shop items
and RMT is super bannable
in ESO you do it by setting it to Gift, you send the gold to the broker, then the other party gift the cash shop stuff to your account
This isn't ESO, RMT will get you banned
like WoW tokens but with steps
it doesnt exist here
and is bannable
gil must be earned the good ol fashioned way
The good ol' way of exploiting the market 
never assume RMT is allowed, doesn't matter if Bethesda allows it, 99% of MMOs will absolutely ban you for that
(the reason Bethesda allows is, is because they are/were financially fucked and it keeps money coming in)
does anyone know how to get from rank 2 to rank 3 in squadron it seems like i am stuck at rank 2
Do 5 command missions
complete the flagged mission
Then flagged mission
oh yeah, 5 commands 😛
5 Different command missions
i believe
can't do the same one
ohhh tysm a lot i was stuck for days in this
but why when i try to command a mission it says requirement not met
Wait squadron rank2 to rank 3 is not like that
Have any of your member reach lvl 40?
4 of them did
And have you done GC hunting log rank 2, 2 blue quests right at the GC office?
yep
No flagged mission available now?
there is a flagged mission i've done it multiple times but nothing is happening
Succeed?
You havent completed it
You need to succeed it
With all 3 stats met
Otherwise it fails
well i am a bit late with mental ability
trying to catch big fish is just like... match the fish's required gathering to catch and then get the bait to catch it and then go find it right? like theres nothing else i should be doing? obviously mooch if need be but nothing else?
You will typically over level it
Training to adjust your stat
Unless you have good stat boosting chemistries
Or replace the member, no need to be 2dps, 1 tank, 1 healer, you could go 4dps if it good
so can i reduce the physical and increase the mental and tactical so i get the numbers required?
Yes
Via training board
hope it works
Will work
also just try swapping your team around
oh one more thing if u don't mind why when i want to command a mission it says requirement not met
People can't be out on missions or training cause otherwise you have no one to run with
Also meet the standard dungeon comp
they're not in trainning does the independent mastery 1 thing affect anything?
Or one of the member not high enough in level, could also be not following 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps
okay nvm the roles wasn't matching
I was trying to configure the jumping and map it to another button how do I do that it only shows me computer commands
System configuration > controller settings
Yea I was doing that but it wasn’t doing anything
Button configuration isn’t showing drop down menus for each button?
Yea it’s not working
also did you swap the mouse and controller thing in the top left
Can you take a picture of the button configuration menu?
Wrong area
That’s for if you wanted to give computer keybinds to controller output
Ok so then what do I do
The menu I specified should look something like this
In system config > controller settings
Ah thank you
So I'm going to do a unsync dungeon.. will it still give me poetics? Or does it have to be synced?
I read that beast tribe quests are supposed to scale their XP to your level. So I'm doing Kojin quests. My level ~66 SAM got relatively nothing despite being in the level range for stormblood. Why is it not scaling? I got around 68k when it's over a million and a half to level up
Meanwhile namazu quests are easily giving a third of my XP bar
you'll only get first timer bonus, has to be sync to get poetics from the dungeon itself
Combat vs crafting difference
Kojin give overall less since there’s also ananta
There's 2 tribes so the xp is spread between them
In shb and ew there's only 1 combat tribe which gives essentially the same amount as the two combat tribes in previous expansions
Does ananta give more than Kojin? Because if it doesn't then it's like five days of six quests for one XP bar vs 1 day for a full bar with Namazu. Feels really off for the gains
They give the same
Cause again
The xp is spread between the 2 tribes
There's only 1 crafter tribe per era, so naturally it gives more to compensate
Beast Tribe Quests are just not a good way to level alt jobs. You are better off just doing daily roulettes and spamming high level dungeons
Damn, 60-70 leveling is just rough then I guess
?????????
Are you.legit stupid
It's literally free and 0 effort xp
And takes 2mins to do
No, even individually
for level 81+ thats not true. do 1 quest from elephant people: get nearly 1 mil XP. level 90 XP req is 10 mil roughly. 1/10th of a level at 89 is pretty ok
heavensward and stormblood beast tribes are quite decent for their level ranges
Yeah, but doing both tribes still feels like a waste since doing all six quests gets like 1/5 of an experience bar
They're 15mins of work for essentially free exp
But this really isnt he channel to argue it
Yeah it feels more pronounced for shb/ew
at the end of the day, the exp of the beast tribes for hw/sb are split between two tribes for combat vs 1 for the crafting tribe
And it's something to do while waiting in ques
But if you want to do the capstone tribal quest, you need to do beast tribes anyway
That's probably why. Shb combat tribe is 1/3 a level for maybe 10 minutes which you do while queued anyways
trying to catch big fish is just like... match the fish's required gathering to catch and then get the bait to catch it and then go find it right? like theres nothing else i should be doing? obviously mooch if need be but nothing else?
this is going to sound stupid, but can you still get to the firmament? I really want to get the skyworker set but I cant find it anywhere, with everything saying "go to the residential area"
Did you unlock it? Because the aetheryte let’s you warp there
A blue quest from a flyer near the main Ishgard aetheryte
You do have all the crafters and gatherers right?
Because you need them to actually do anything
go talk to the npc, either near the aetheryte, or near the entrance to the residential area
you only need a crafter or a gatherer
xactly what Aethryte are you referring to?
my highest level is a 34 miner, is that good enough?
nope. 90% sure you must be 60
Ishgard because that’s where the firmament is
you don't need a 60 crafter/gatherer for the unlock for the firmament
can be 60 combat job
that doesnt take you to the firmament. t
It does, we know how it works
Sounds like you need to continue with msq as well
the main aetheryte in ishgard, has a teleport option to the firmament, If you have unlocked it
since unlocking the restoration requires you to have completed the 3.3 msq
and you still said it in a misleading way.
I just want a shirt ):
?
What was misleading about “the Ishgard aetheryte lets you warp to the firmament, if you have it unlocked”
same, but i cbf grinding the scrips right now so i moved on
Need to finish 3.3 for it
yeah Im only just starting the level 52 quests
Hey, I need some help with some account issues and the square support page/emails haven't helped so far. so I made a throw away account to try and fix a different problem I was having, but now the throw away account is linked to my steam and I have no way of unlinking it since I don't have the account info anymore idk what to do
ask Square enix to unlink it
only support can do that i believe
any way i can get into contact with someone who doesn't give an automated response?
If you don’t have the account info, I don’t think they can do much
unlink form
make sure to change to the correct region, thats the EU version
but yeah, you need to be able to login to it
damn I may be screwed then thanks anyways tho
there is a link to the support center there, contact them, log a ticket
if you have some details of the account they may be able to help
or can prove its yours
but if you created the account with dummy info, like a random bday, random securiry questions, etc
they wont be able to verify its yours
assuming you dont have that info
ive gone through the unlink page and a couple other support pages a few times and they cant do anything cuz i have non of that info so rip
Will the 6.1 pvp armor set be unavailable after the next season begins? I don't know if I have enough time to grind it
series last till 6.2 and after the next series starts you can get it for trophy crystals for a limited time before it's gone till they decide to rerun the armor as reward
you'll be able to earn it until 6.3
its just 6.2 will have a different series malmstone reward track
How many trophy crystals would it cost though? Or we don't know yet
dont know

since the changes were introduced with 6.1
I just finished all nine Trials of the Braves books, but the quest for the books no longer seems to be in my list (and checking with Gerolt only offers to start other relics). When I try to talk to Jalzahn with my atma weapon and the books done in my inventory, the next quest doesn't unlock.
I'm confused.
(The game tells me to go to Jalzahn when I try to get another book since I have them completed, but he doesn't have a quest I can complete. Celestial Radiance is locked whether I'm holding the Atma weapon or not.)
i believe its the atma enhancement option when talking to him
make sure you do not have the weapon equipped
either that or animus
Okay, so the option for atma was the solution, thank you.
I was confused because I thought that was for making another atma weapon.
yeaa... the ARR relic can be a bit confusing
its been awhile since i've done mine so hard to remember what to do sometimes 😔
Am I good to get rid of this last trial of the braves book by the way? Doesn't look like the NPCs are taking it away. x3
idk tbh, if you got your weapon i would assume it's fine
worst that can happen is i have to do that book again so w/e
yes you can toss the book
lol no, just fingers typing too fast xd
Is the combat turn based? Or something I was trying to fight an enemy earlier and it seemed like I couldn’t do consecutive attacks
No skills just have cooldowns
Again cooldowns
there is animation locks
there is a 2.5s global cooldown
but that early level, you wont have instant casts, or many, to even see animation locks
which means a delay between using weaponskills or spells, and as you get higher in level you will gain abilities that you can weave between these
Oh that seems pretty slow combat wise
yea, at lower levels you really feel the 2.5s gcd
well yeah, later on, you get more
the game starts out slow to let people learn before increasing the complexity
but as i said, higher levels means more ogcds to weave so it doesn't feel as bad
and certain jobs also like having lower gcds
so that also helps make it feel less slow
you can kinda "mask" the slow gcd, by picking a caster class/job for early levels
since the have to "cast" their spells, it feels less like standing around waiting for the gcd
But all jobs start slow, so you can ease into the combat
as you level up you get more abilities to use between gcds
so most classes dont feel slow when their kits are complete
your kit completes and there's more reasons to keep moving at later levels so it's not nearly as slow as it feels while leveling
is there a way to view just my gcd casts on ff logs?
when handing in a journal to khloe is there an ideal lvl range to give it to her? or does the exp scale
scales to directly half of your current exp bar
highest level possible is the best bang for your b uck
ty
thanks
I want to lvl my chocc with blu. Are there locations with stacked lvl 70 mobs for a quick ultravibe?
anyone know if its possible to add a castbar near the caster's nameplates like in wow?
not with the native client, no
you can move your castbar the same way as the hud in the hud layout should be named progress bar iirc
instead I suggest enlarging your main target cast bar
not possible, no, you can separate the castbar from the rest of the enemy UI and make it larger and closer to the center of the screen
thats what most people do
pretty sure i have mine set to 200% size
yea ik that but still you cant see castbars that you arent targeting/focusing
can you do that with delvui?
i don't use delvui, I wouldn't know
The enemy list shows mobs that you have emnity on and shows their cast bar
I use mostly default UI with in-house configs
i see thanks for the help
I know this may be a stupid question but can someone help me identify what hair and colors this is. Sorry this was the only picture I got before they vanished
looks like alphinaud/alisaie hair from mog station
and just pick any blonde hair color
Is there anything else that’ll look the same that’s not money related?
Exactly the same, obviously no
by "the same" do you mean a short hair look?
there are numerous short hairstyles but that hair is unique
That specifically is blonde with white highlights i think
Tick the "accents" option in the Hairstyle menu and simply pick a blond hair color for the main and a white color for the accent.
maybe you'd like styled for hire or modern legend, but yeah there's no real close match that's not for $
I need SCH knowledge. Can I get away with just having one of the fairies? Is there a big difference between Eos and Selene?
They're the same
you can only have one fairy out at a time
pick the one that you find looks cooler
however by law i must tell you that eos has the better color scheme
Legally Selene is better in all aspects
really they are the same fairy
they used to be different but that got changed a long time ago
Tell me, loremaster. What was different?
Eos had essentially the current fairy spells; Selene had weird stuff.
Selene used to be more of a support pet than a healing pet. It had a silence (silence is now called interrupt), a debuff cleanse, and a minor skill/spell speed buff for the whole party. The first two were unreliable at best and the haste buff was very niche. Eos was usually just a better choice as it had the same actions both fairies share now. A regen and a heal buff.
An AoE esuna, an unresponsive interrupt, and a haste buff
Today, however, Eos and Selene are just a cosmetic choice. Which color do you prefer.
do you still get exp if you massively overlevelled your MSQ?
yep
up until you hit cap you get xp
Do I need to level a crafting job to get an animal relic weapon?
nope
Oh ok
it helps for a step but theres quite a few other ways to grab them
sweet ty
I heard I needed a bunch of materials and stuff and that I should start farming early
Idk for what exactly yet I’m still on the guide
it basically boils down to a shitton of poetics, some gc seals, and 1 step that has a few different options
I see
how to make trust npc use aoe?
I haven’t even done any of my gc quests I’m still at bottom rank
you cant, thats the tradeoff
is there a way to low level gain xp aside from fates in a party?
!faq altlvlguide
my squadron can do aoe, how's the main characters unable to do so?
err
different system
sorry
my gf is a veteran and I'm new, is there a way for us to play together and level aside from fates?
early game, before dungeons
msq is the way to level early on
I don’t think that was the question exactly
she can't join me for that if she's done it right?
she could new game+ to refollow the storyline
ah
I may be wrong but YALL could prolly use party finder to join you in msq dungeons
just the dungeons not the quests?
yep
Not if she’s already done them
can you ng+ for ARR and all the expacs?
yes
Btw the y’all wasn’t supposed to be in caps my autocorrect is weird
only thing currently not available, msq wise, for ng+ is the 6.1 msq
What is ng+ and expacs?
new game plus, and expansions
and yes you can pick and choose which exapc you want to do, they're broken into chapters
Why is expansion expac? What’s the c for?
expansion pack
pac k
EXpansion PACk, to make it a bit clearer 🙂
its used so there isnt confusion with something like, Exp (which is EXPerience)
formerly just XP but we needed to add the E for some bizarre reason
Wasn't sure if I should ask this here or in endgame discussion since its not technically endgame anymore, but does anyone have any idea how O12S is unsynced nowadays? Tried doing it back in Shadowbringers but didn't go too well, but I hadn't really touched savages much at that point either.
about the same as in end of shb
still gotta do numbers for p1 but you can still goodbye world stuff in p2
Good to know, I knew the current iLvl kinda made some of the SHB savages easier since you could skip mechs, didn't know if that applied to O12S as well
is there any gear i can use at level 90 so i can start farm at savage raids?
580 crafted which can be upgraded to 590
as well as 590 tome gear
i'm using classical gear i don't think it's good for it
is it the regular classical or the augmented?
cause you can 100% start endgame with augmented
regular i think
Augmented you have to trade in your regular classical gear at Radz, along with some aphorism tomestones for rain
i think theres a pin
thats the one you want
classical is still fine as entry level gear, 580 is all you need
but there is just no reason to not augment it
Youll need a fair amount of aphorism tomes to get a full set, personally id recommend getting your rightside/jewelry first
since thats the cheapest bang for your buck
and then maybe learn EX3 and get your 595 weapon from it
Also, if you’re using the crafted set, be absolutely certain that it’s the high quality version.
And when you trade in for the Augmented, make sure you select the HQ option on this screen
if you dont, itll let you trade in HQ gear and only receive the normal quality amount of certificates
then just slap some X materia in your new augmented gear and youre set
Regular crafted (or Limbo) is fine to start. The minimum item level for a4s is 580, which is regular crafted. And SE designs the fight to be beatable at the minimum item level. So if 580 isn't working for you, I suspect there's something else at play here.
An Unexpected Proposal
This is the Anima relic questline right
a4s
I think you mean P4S
Do you gain more xp for running dungeons in trust vs with real players?
oh ok
Same exp. Running with NPC’s takes longer on average but no queue times.
Where do I go to spend Centurio seals
ishgard or kugane/rhaglrs
different stuff there
does the garo stuff end with the season pass of pvp?
ok, ty
can a lv 70 job do DR and Dalriada?
Need to be at least 71 to enter Bozja or Zadnor. DR needs at least level 80.
It's 71+ for bozja in general
o
That said, yeah, as long as you’re level 71, you can run Dalriada.
It’s just DR that has the 80 requirement.
Why some clothes are looking worse on human race compared to cat race? Like normal craftable level 1 shirt looks good on cat but on human it's either long big shirt for male and just a bra for female. bruh. Is there an option to change it?
If it's the hempen camise, that just has a different model for all races
Most other gear is the same for everyone
for anima weapons, do i just follow the rowena questline or are there external steps i gotta do?
follow the questline
thats all i gotta do
theres 1 quest that you'll have to do for the light farm, which is like 2 feet from the main questline
i see
What does the archons mean? I just get to know that the tattoo some scions are wearing means they are archons. But what is an archon?
It’s like getting your doctorate. Difference is the degree is a tattoo and the subjects of study are way more broad.
was it just me or did ffxiv have no voice acting in the cutscenes until you make it to ul'dah for the first time on lominsan envoy?
sounds about right
VA in arr is sparse at best
i mean the first cs should be va'd? but after that yeah lvl 15 is around the first time it comes back
there’s more VA later
ah yeah the first cs where u travel to the starting city
think it was voice acted, must've forgotten
Only the "hear, feel, think" bit iirc
How do i assign a key specifically for that limitbreak on hotbar 7 on a controller? It's separate since i'm using cross hotbar
If you don't have the "one time password" activated yet, it's for the two factor authentificator, you can leave it blank
you can't, controller only presses hotbar slots on the cross bar
you can assign a keyboard button to it, if you have a keyboard plugged in
ouch
im on laptop so ya
but my layout is for controller
whereas my lkeyboard is just to type
can i still assign a key for the LB
i think you might need to disable direct chat but yeah
oof
guess ill put LB on my crossbar somewhere
so i just remove that hotbar 7 since it wont benefit me in any way right?
ive seen people use hotbars to keep track of cooldowns that you don't always see bc of different sets/pages of the crossbar, but it all depends on your setup
ya i put the lb on hotbar 7 and actually lb on my crossbar so ik when it's active
Where do I go to pick a job
well, you usually have the LB bar for that, when you're in a party
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
tru, but i forget so that hotbar helps :>
Is it better to play on Steam or from their original launcher? Which one is better and easier to purchase the game?
Up to you, whatever is more convenient really
i heard lots whining about steam especially after they introduced the account link
With that being said I don't think the steam version can use the third party launcher
nah i saw ppl with steam using it
So the virtue of both launchers being shit but one can be replaced I'd say the one from their site
It can
Oh it can?
Yea
it can, you just have to have steam open as well
Then pick whichever you want, both is shite anyway
since the new account link stuff requires it
Both are viable and if u like steam wallet, that's a plus
so far only defenet steam benefit is lower subcription cost in russia and brazil
Got it. Thankyou guys.
lower cost in brazil
I know what I must do but I don't know if I have the strength
Idk if this is the right place to ask, but why did steam give me a NA activation code if my account was EU? I just wasted money buying the full game
What's ur steam account country
Finland
Might have to take it up with steam support and get it refunded
I'll give it a shot ig
Can't stay over ever heard of that
Wait are steam keys region specific?
I've never heard of region issues like that when buying on steam
You normally play on steam?
Ok so how do you know the key is for NA?
someone cut in if im being dumb, i just dont know how Steam ff14 keys work
ive just never seen this reported as an issue, always thought steam region didnt matter, and Steam keys (for FF14) were not region specific
i saw a couple of reddit thread that were asking to trade the code but cant recall if those were steam or not
usually when we see region issues, its because someone has bought the key from the wrong Square Enix store, as it has to match your account region
Hi guys, I'm level 50 and starting to do the post ARR really long no exp quest ... If I buy this thing do I'll skip the entire thing and start level up again ?
Sure, but that’s a waste of money IMO
youd have to do it every time youd hit a post patch
just cheaper to buy the level skip at that point
The level skip ? I just don't want to do all the quests again, I already do that maybe 2 years ago and that was a nightmare for me
ah, the question sounded more like you wanted exp rather than to skip the missions
5.3 did cull them down and added flight
but if you just wanted to skip the quests then yeah thats what that book is for
Ok great, I'll skip it or I'll just quit the game at this point, thx for the info 🙂
post arr made hw much more enjoyable for me, but also i was having fun when i started the game
different strokes for different folks
You're not technically meant to level
Yeah but already do that on an old account so ... If I can skip it, i'll do that 😄
You're in the post arr, from when the level cap stayed 50 until the next expansion released
It's all story to close arr and start hw now
Since it was all level cap content at the time it didn't give exp
Your level in this game means very little, it's the main story progress that matters
well if they played that and they get lost in story they can always rewatch the cutscneses in inn
Yeah, I'm summoner and want to level up to get all that great summon, don't want to spend so much time in a no leveling quest that I already do in the past
Lol that's level 90
You pretty much need to boost to Endwalker to get that
And you won't be able to use it outside level 90 content regardless
It'll be ok if I can level up correctly with msq after
Until you hit post hw and this will repeat
Cuz that's all level cap content for heavensward
AGAIN
Then the same with stormblood and shadowbringers
That's how the game works
We get an expansion, that expansions main story is great for levelling. Then for the next 2 years we get more story and side content, all level cap so no exp, then a new expansion releases and the level cap goes up
Oh, the same thing will start again after the end of each expansion ?
Yeah that's how it works
We get a big expansions worth of story then in patches over the next 2 years we get the epilogue and prologue of the next expansion without real exp
And that's all part of the story
they add in some exp after the next expack has launched, but yeah while shb's patches were coming out, that msq had no exp bc we were at level cap
Oh, and all of this post expansion take around the same time that post ARR quest ?
less iirc
Post arr is a bit of a wild west since they were still figuring out how they wanted to do things
arr takes way longer
In terms of quest amount, ARR is the biggest of the post-leveling story by double the rest
And the mandatory side content
Ohhh that's great
and it used to be even worse!
Like crystal tower and hard primals
HW/SB/SHB patch story only have around 40-ish quests each, but they’re more compact and have more overall cutscenes.
ye
If you want to follow the story, which is the main selling point of the game, I'd recommend still doing it
But I don't pay your sub
lot less filler fetch quests in my experience
Ok, well I will just skip post ARR, thx for all the answers guys 🙂
Would highly recommend you at least do the crystal tower raids first
They'll unlock the alliance raid roulette which is very good exp
on their old account
Oh okay
crystal tower probably gets force completed anyway
It does
with a msq skip
It's just the most long term story relevant of the arr patch content
Yeah, I already do this post ARR quest with an old account, that's why I really want to skip it 🙂
its not as bad
Then why not just skip to endwalker instead if this is an alt char?
they culled like 20 quests
and CT was made manadatory, but that doesn't add much in terms of time
probably because they didnt do all the msq on their " old " account
Yep, this post ARR quest was just a nightmare for me and I leaved the game after
I mean you can punch through it in a couple days
and its got important stuff up to EW still; but its your time and money, we're just people spitting words
if they have the money why not
I prefer to spend like 12 usd to just skip this thing, or I already know that'll leave the game an another time, and I really want to go to the end game, this game looks really good for end game content
At the very very least so, watch the last arr curscene
Cuz you'll really want/need to see that context for hw
they probably already watched it ?
If they quit in post arr, wouldn't have gotten to it
thats not what they wrote
they said they quit after it
but anyway
i think this question ran its course
No I already finish post ARR in my old account, but I leaved the game like 1 or 2 days after
But I'll watch again the last arr cutscene on youtube
Can also watch at Inn after you apply the boost
if you lose the lv 80 job gear, can u get it back via the calamity salvager (or whatever it's called)
you just go back to the vendor]
damn
not that its very good, mind you
no glam
hows mm ex unsync i never really bothered to learn that fight
hella confusing

It's free...
is there a better way to get square enix support? I submitted a ticket but i didnt get email conformation of my ticket or check its progress
not sure if anyone has a better idea on how to get help, eu acc btw
But he lives under the sea :/ @warm snow
ya but i lazy
does people do unsync runs? @faint flare
For the card
o
And what level is your fisher
lvl 80, how do I progress?
max level for retainers is the max level you have for that job/class yourself
so if you are 80, retainer is stuck at 80
are you at 80 fishing ?
its a different menu option
if you are only seeing jobs
thats where you upgrade a class to a job
not, change their base class
talk to the retainer
umm excuse me i need some help regarding paying for subscriptions in the game , i dont know this discord server much but if someone can guide/help me so that i might get my issue resolved or can get some guidance regarding the matter
just say what problem you are having with it, and people will answer if they think they can help,
thats usually how it goes
There's 2 types, most people just use entry since you don't really need 40 characters
oh okay thanks umm i happen been getting an error of 601 again and again when i am entering debit card in the subscription panel , someone told me to wait 24 hours and then add it , i did that and same error , i cant pay for crysta also and its been a mess , i really wanna play the game if someone had this issue before and found a solution or something it will be really helpful
try a different web browser maybe?
unfortunately 601 could mean a half dozen things
have read through this forum post
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/320979
Whenever I try to make a payment on the mogstation using my debit/credit card, I keep getting this error:
I know there are sufficient funds on the card.
Do you have a credit card?
unfortunatly only debit
and the thing is i am from pakistan when i was doing the sub before i used game card
ah yeah, the country doesn't match sometimes gives problem
Yea game time card might be the best way
and at that time to buy that i needed to have a VPN on cause it blocked cause of my location
i cant buy the time card also now
What account region is ur account.
the thing i buyed a time card before and it worked , i dont know why it is not working now
um eu and other countries
is the game down atm? (NA)
Yea I don't think u can get around vpn+gametime card...
it worked before i played the whole game from SB till EW cause of time card
Unless u can get a credit card
idk why it stopped working
are you a member of Pakistani FFXIV gamers discord/facebook or some sort?
asking local people might be the best bet
can't log in :/
usually the local have said that they use time cards, FFXIV isnt that popular here and only small amount of folks play it so not alot of info i got from locals
servers should be up so its something on your end
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/ and https://is.xivup.com/ both show it as online
have no WoL in NA
so can't test
but yeah can just type !status [your server name]
it usually tells you what's the status of it
I mean, I pay with debit
it use to work so easily , i got an event to join on friday and i cant get my sub back
what happens if i buy mog stuff but my mail was full 20/20? ;-;
You'll need to clear stuff then press the Request delivery button
Then wait for it to come
thank you
An hour tops unless shits insanely busy
Which would be something like preorders for a new expansion going live
Those goodies took some people 24+hrs to get
i have 2 buttons on the side of my mouse, is it a bad idea to bind them to my most used skills? playing archer
you should bind it to whatever you find most comfortable
yea need to experiment
I personally bound those to Alt and shift
I have my 2 side buttons set for aoe skills
do you mean you emulate keyboard keys with the mouse side buttons?
Yep!
So I have an easier time doing my keybinds with my hand
that sounds like a good idea. i have small fingers, so doing ctr+# for top bar skills feels really clunky
yeah i have one of mine set to press ctrl, which is my 3rd hotbar
easy to hit shift + stuff, but ctrl is a stretch sometimes
Ow people just use MMO mouse usually
Don't think they use the ctrl and alt manually
Or do they?
You might need to use ur mouse program or another program to assign those keys tho
having the mouse button set to ctrl does take some getting used to, but i really like it now
lets me move around easily when firing off skills on that hotbar
yeah i have a logitech g305, i think it has a native program
Yeah the tl Dr is find what works for you
But not exactly MMO mouse, still can bind ctrl and alt to your right hand though
Gamepad yeah
My dude I am an ultimate clearing high end raider that uses a controller on pc
And I'm pretty damn good if I do say so myself
PS5 Dual Sense or any you like
i was going to say, i could try my switch procon
controller is gucci in ffxiv
Mind you, you still have to git gud at using controller
But that's no different to gitting gud at kbm
Also it improve your rest day during gameplay instead sitting in front of your comp like you are in the office
i'm actually new to pc gaming as a whole, all my previous gaming experience lies with pads
And that's why I use a controller
Sitting for long period of time isn't good for you, laying down on a couch is better
ui navigation yeah
Yeah for that just get a small cheap BT keyboard that you can throw around
Ff14 controller support is so good, they refused to patent it cuz they want mmos to be more accessible
Although that admittedly speaks more of the devs than the quality of controller support
Might also due to JP don't really use PC to game, console market is bigger there
Controller is in no way inferior for gameplay, just chatting, so play however you want
I use controller to play and chat with keyboard on the ps4
I'm admittedly using it through steam
ah
But it'll probably be recognised as an xbox gamepad
There's a mod to replace the xbox buttons in game with switch buttons
If you own the game you can't swap from standalone to steam or other way around (dunno what you're on?)
free trial standalone on pc
You can swap to steam when you're buying it then 
Only time it's doable (and only standalone free trial > steam payed)
i personally do
anything bad about switching to steam?
Nope
just remember, if you are on steam, you have to buy all expansions, and future expansions, on steam
you cant buy them from the Square Enix store, those keys dont work for Steam
as long as i'm not paying more on steam that's fine
im trying to solo a11s as paladin and every time the 2nd photon comes up after 50% hp im getting one shotted. no time to even heal. anyone have tips for this?
it's a 1hp mechanic and you're getting auto'd
use hallowed (or veil? but i don't think you get the shield from it lul)
Precast the heal
I've been trying to stay out of range so I can insta heal. Hallowed is used during the first limit cut
Isn't the second proton during the lava floor or something
anyone done this before? regarding calibrating a switch procon to ffxiv
Hello!
Question regarding the crystal currency from PvP.
What do I do with them?
spend them at the vendor in the ship
Okay.
I missed the vendor then. Thought no one accepted it.
Thank you!
yes
i just tried it, switched to gamepad mode and my character just doesn't move
the left joystick adjusts the camera, the right moves the mouse?? and the b button jumps
i launched thru steam no idea what the issue is
holding both triggers makes the player move oh
did you enable pro controller in the steam controller settings
was that before or after you launched the game
in system config under gamepad do you have the right gamepad selected
under device?
only one option. xbox 360 for windows
i assume that's what it thinks it is
but i launched thru steam as a non steam game to avert this very issue
try restarting
the controller worked but it uses the Xbox layout so you have to change the binds
it is working, but feels very limited. do you also have to use ZR+ZL to run?
and is the right joystick also completely useless for u
no
would close the game and make sure you have generic controller also ticked in steam
and no other controller programs running
oh didn't have that ticked
ok
ok right stick works now. run still mapped to right trigger + left trigger
calibrate it in game
does it work in steam calibration?
that doesn't matter
yes
then I would ask in #952326072542847016
yea idk. the controller works, but it's very strange. r2 is left click, l2 is right click
I was recently invited to a lakafell only ls isn’t that against the rules
Against what rules?
Pretty sure that falls under rasism
It does not
It's not derogatory
Is there a way to find out if other players are suffering from the same issue as me when trying to connect to home realm?
You can ask
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/71459914232365056/989547474089807944/unknown.png
I'm trying to connect to zodiark
002 is a lobby server error
What does that mean?
that's an internet issue
That's a network issue or an issue with the servers themselves.
All you can do is wait it out
I see. ok
Give it half an hour and then try again
If it's just a standard network issue, then the routing commands will have found other ways by then. If it's something bigger, then there might be a Lodestone announcement.
I have a vpn installed but it's not running atm, I dunno if that can interfer at all
double check it's not running
The issue is that the data isn't quite making it from your PC (client-side) to the servers because of the route it's taking through the network.
Your VPN could be causing that, if it's running.
aha i should perhaps try to restart my computer after having turned it off maybe that'll do someting
Well I already started reinstalling the game because I didn't think about that before
or ask
Uh it’s been a few months since I was subbed, was wondering what new stuff they added?
There was a major content patch last month.
Was 6.1 released?
Yes
Ah
That was the major content patch
New msq am assuming?
As Always
So there's more MSQ, the first Alliance raid, first beast tribe, and a new dungeon
Thanks for the help Aura, appreciate it
Seems a lot of stuff came out, nice
o7
Anyone know where I start the new msq?
When in doubt, just enable the MSQ tracker to see where you need to go. That's what I do when I can't remember where I left off with required chain content.
Fun fact 6.1 doesn't end in the rising stone so 6.2 probably won't start there
It also has an auto disable when done msq feature
Yeah, but in my case, I don't want it hanging around even when I'm actually doing MSQ
Are there lancer quest after the lvl 30 one?
Thanks for the info
no they're dragoon quests
After level 30 you have Dragoon quests instead, but only if you've completed the MSQ "Sylph Management"
so I just do the Main story now? I've been focusing on the lancer quests and hunting log
Yes
Your current job quests show under the msq tracker when theyre available
!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.
Always look at this
do your job quests when they pop up
And do the quest labelled 2
MSQ locks a lot of content, so you should always prioritize that if you're not seeing some content you think you should be seeing.
do the label 2 ones disappear if i do the label one?
No
no
The label 2 ones are
content that relate to other kinds of unlocks.
2nd is mandatory side content like job quests and mounts
so if I guess right the mount quest will also be there
Things like job quests, or required side content that you have to do in order to progress the MSQ as well.
the #2 ones are very important side quests
Sorry I'm kind of dyslexic
It's alright
You can't really go wrong with going for label 2 ones first, and then the big ones after that.
Ok ty for the help
If you click on the item in the tracker, it will show you where to find it.
I also have a bunch of things in my inventory, I didn't throw anything away just in case i need it for a production class, is there a way to deposit things somewhere?
sell them to a vendor
got forced to buy the completed edition by a friend of mine
But stuffs easy to get back so just sell it
why does nobody do extreme trials?
People do them, just not in the duty finder.
if it says locked duty then you haven't
theres not any really regardless
You get wolf marks from pvp right?
Only pvp
Ok thanks
can someone explain to me like im 5 why people find so much value in gc stuff?
i haven't touched it at all
Grand Companies? Because they represent both an easy way to get things like glamour prisms and ventures, and a source of mid-to-high-value items for resale on the market board.
oh gotcha
Also at Captain rank you have access to 3.0 and 4.0 loot boxes which can drop rare minions which can be resold.
It's also way off peak hours for NA right now, a ton of people are probably at work/school/whatever
yeah i couldnt find them last night either but i do only have 4 unlocked
Sometimes you just have to start your own PF for them
Basically all of the ARR and HW ones can be soloed (with a couple of minor exceptions for mechanics).
Yeah, then make a PF to do it unsync and offer your first time poetics as a bonus for the carry.
I forgot how to calculate. What's the maximum number of Umbrite/Crystal Sand do I need left
how long do you think itd take to find someone or do you need a full party?
not sure how it works
are you intend to sync or unsync?
With a level 90 to carry you? You need one person, and it will take a minute to clear if you're unsynced.
and itll complete my quest?
Yepp
o ok ill ask someone i know later and see if theyll help then
Unrestricted Party
quest only require certain objective, not the way you done it
gotta find someone for reg odin too XD
Not really, put up a PF and just need 1 lv90/80 guy to come in and sweep the floor in 10s
XD
All of the ARR extreme trials (including Odin and Ultima's Refrain) can be done unsynced with a single 90 carry to complete the quests.
you dont need a person you know
ill try but its kinda scary putting one up for the first time
gonna do leviathan first though since its the msq
Oh hay yall are Aether, can you help him out ^^
Just put something like "for quest completion" in the description
I could, but my lunch break ends in about 10 minutes
how do you start the dungeon when you get someone?
Ugghhh, Gale's right though. I can make this very easy for you. Give me a minute and I'll log in on my Aether 90
I can run you through real quick
alright ill just leave the levi queue then since im only 6 minw in
can i still get back the ilvl 430 class gears from the salvager?
Is that that Shadowbringers gear?
yeah
ShB class gear you have to go back to not-Geralt in the Tempest for
i see so i can throw it away and get it back again whenever?
What's your server and character name? I'll party invite you.
faerie - Yuki Hoshiro
i have to go to thanalan to have access to glamours, can i go there on my own accord before a MSQ tells me to go there?
if you started in Gridania
then you can't
thanks
You might as well just follow the story, it’s not like the quest is going anywhere
yeah doesn't look like i have a choice
Msq is mandatory so
Yellows are basically worthless
It's fine to do do side quests but it's definitely not mandatory, it's mainly for lore
They're there for lore
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
Yep, those are good - usually
yeah i'm doing those
They unlock something
There's occasionally a green one with a good reward as well though
golds have pitiful payouts from what i've seen and idc about lore/story
avoiding those
Green? 
Yeah, those don’t exist
Might be my colourblindness acting up
prob talking about blue
The sidequests with usually bad loot can occasionally give something nice
yellow's can sometimes turn into blue's
I figured. Those are the 2 colours I can't distinguish well 😆
That too
meh
Is there an alternative to it?
seems more like ARR jank
Spiritbonding doesn't really matter much
because extracting a materia used to destroy the piece
Especially since it can be bought infinitely from a salvager
That was definitely back in the “extract deletes items” era
Can you get duplicates from salvager btw?
Unique means unique
that just says untradeable
What marks an item as unique?
It says it in the tool tip
Like right by the untradeable part
!item asphodelos ring of fending
142
148
127
89
※ Materia Slots: 2
※ Advanced Meldable: No
※ Required Level: 90
※ Repaired By: Goldsmith
※ Repair Material: Grade 8 Dark Matter
※ Dyable: No
※ Desynthesis: Yes
Like that (but also in game)
So the salvager can sell non-unique stuff. Rolling back to the original question then.
Can he sell duplicates?
I'd assume so
