yes
Also if you’re a legacy player
legacy players get essentially the continuation of that cutscene as the scions find them but only Minfilla really remembers
can someone help tell me what is the best way my level 55 warrior can farm poetics for that new gear I can get from that npc
Dailies
And the story
follow up question to this, when they select the upgrade to full version, its saying they have no characters
is that just maintenance making things messed up rn?
Is there a channel here for guilds or getting some peeps to play with?
They're changing up data centers atm and implementing cross dc travel, things are gonna be a bit fucky til they're done
Set your roles first
once you decide your data center, yes
Shit uh. What data center is Leviathan under
primal
thanks
and then #603040697884475393
and i'd recommend searching for Leviathan in the channel
just do in the search bar in:#recruitment-primal fc leviathan

beside prerequisite quests to duties (raids, trials, etc...), job msq, main msq and Hildi. any recommendation on what side quests I should do?
Any blue quest that has a plus symbol, since that unlocks stuff for more content
I've achieved crafting mentor in-game. Is that how I get the mentor role on the discord, or is that a seperate process?
completely seperate things
understandable, thank you for your time o7
My friends have an free trial account using the square enix launcher. They want to get the game so I sent them a gift of the complete edition but from steam. I noticed in mogstation you can switch service service account. Is it possible to switch free trial account from square enix to steam membership
free trial on sqex to steam is allowed yes
What are the steps?
also i wouldn't have bought complete edition
ask them to decline the gift so its refunded
its cheaper to buy starter and endwalker seperately currently
well I got the starter and endwalker edition seperately actually
you just put in the codes on mogstation
and then download the game on steam
so their free trial accounts on square enix will carry over to steam after they activate the membership?
i believe so yes
ive heard people say you can do it im not 100% sure though as i didnt do it
but ive heard it several times today
yeah im pretty sure it works
they just have to go ot mogstation to register
!faq mogstation
and they get their keys from here
although i'd wait until tomorrow to register
as you'll lose out on a day of sub because of the maintenance currently
Yeah I told them not to activate their steam codes until after they finish heavensward
so they get the full amount of 30 free days that comes with the membership
yeah makes sense since they are switching platforms
just wanted to know if it was possible, thanks for the info
So in the mogstation, because they are free trial, they have an option to upgrade to full version. But they don't have Steam as an option
steam is windows
yeah try using windows
Windows is steam? How come there is a steam option
I thought square enix was windows and steam was steam
because graphic design is the devs' passion
Better to say that Windows and Steam share the same license slot.
while there is a steam option (which is only available if you did free trial thru steam), the way both do their license is the same
why they put steam as a grayed out option idk
I understand now. Thank you guys for the information
its a code put into mogstation ultimately, so it doesn't matter if you can click only on steam or windows for that portion
They're basically the same version of the game, just using different authentication portals.
sqex has 0 idea how to make a website so
And just to confirm, they are free trial using square enix. I gifted them a copy of starter + endwalker. They are able to transfer their free trial accounts from square enix to actual membership steam?
Yes, PC trial can go to Steam full version.
They'll be locked to Steam going forward, though.
Thank you so much.
And this is where they will be putting the steam codes in? I know it says Steam registration codes to use only for steam free trial account, so should I worry about that?
yes, and no
that warning is for steam free trial users because they can ONLY use a steam full game code
as you cannot go from steam trial to non-steam full game, but non-steam trial users CAN go to steam full game
I see. so this is the correct place to enter the steam code for the game
I apologize for the many questions, it's pretty confusing
can you buy friends mog station items as gifts?
yes, there's a gift option when purchasing items
though do note, free trial users cannot use gift codes
yes, you have to select the buying as a gift option when purchasing
Are there any updated APM graphs since Reaper and Sage released?
Kk ty
Thank youu
when does mainteince end?
5.5 hours
Just under five and a half hours
aww i thought it was 11pm pst
where can i discuss datamine
there's nothing to datamine
no new content AFAIK
but if there is, then #963326049230389268
thanks
We may get some sets for 6.2 but that's it really
Don't think the patch has begun rolling out yet though
we'll probably just get sneak peaks of upcoming seasonal/mogstation items
6.18 will likely not have any of the main gear to come in 6.2
maybe some enemy models or animations, but definitely not gear
in the case of that, I assume because the Radiant hosts were all wearing it
and they didn't want it to be custom models
but yeah, combat gear appearing in a datamine that's not their intended patch is pretty rare.
Just manifesting something but yeah, probably won't get anything of note
Might see a table for moogle tome event if one happens.
that too
That's about all I can think of though
those usually happen at the tail end of patches to bring up activity
Yeah it's there items are pretty standard duties are also nothing particularly interesting
Is DC visit coming with this new patch?
yes
regional
Aw ok
Cross-region is something that they want to do, but is still very far off
and they want to see how well the tech handles inter-region DC travel
but radiant released in 6.05...
It's easier to move your data to another server in the same building than it is to move it several thousand miles away
Also you'd have pretty awful ping trying to play on a JP/EU datacenter from NA, and vice versa
Yeah I play on EU from SEA, the ping is an issue in raids :p
JP/OCE is higher ping for me tho so this is the best I got
Strongly recommend trying a VPN to route to Japanese servers
If ur on pc u can try noclippy
6.0 i meant
its 1:30 am
JP servers should be your best option if you’re anywhere in the SEA region, so if you’re getting bad numbers there then it’s likely to be an issue with your ISP’s routing
Having better ping to EU is kinda absurd
yeah that makes no sense
That’s the opposite side of the planet
routing is a fuck
Huh
bad isps doing shit routing to be cheap asses, basically
Where actually are you
Sound like west of asia
still, use noclippy or smth to reduce it more
India
Close enough
Like one country away 
More sturdy internet routes across the Eurasian continent
uh yeah, India is more in the middle, in terms of actual backbones connecting to the rest of the world, so not too surprising actually
I just watched a video thats about 6 months old, showcasing new sheath/draw animations but I dont see them in game. Do I need to progress to a certain point or are they just not in the game?
They start to be used in Endwalker quests, and are available as unlockable emotes
But not as replacers for the default battle stance animation
Ahh damn, dont have endwalker sadly
Awww
Some gold saucer items do have a quest requirement, but if they're available you can buy them from the Gold Saucer iirc
yeah they are in the gold saucer, talk to the prize attendant, Prize Exchange III i believe
and yea, they dont replace the normal ones, you would be the 10000th person to want that, (probably more)
I replace the normal stance with the emotes by simply making Z = draw emote and shift + Z = sheathe emote

How is reaper as a class? Worth getting into? Any caveats?
!faq meta
does the maintenance end at 3 am pst or est?
3am pst
Reaper is a priority-based melee job, which is unique among the other melee DPS, so it has that going for it.
I love the flow of the job, though it is dreadfully boring before 70.
even before 80 its meh
*80
Enshroud is BIG
Ic
maybe worth mentioning that reaper is generally considered the easiest melee job
and plays a lot like machinist
How long the game is unavailable under maintenance
!ll
It depends upon the server?
No
no
All maintenances happen at the same time
Hello!
So I'm gonna main DRK 100% because it's very cool. However in dungeons and some other content, where the healer is struggling a bit, what'd be a good class to have as a 2nd TNK? I was thinking WAR as they do the big self heals, but they're quite similar in rotation to DRK so I was thinking mixing it up with PLD instead, still good self heals not not as insane as WAR.
Any of them, if the healer is struggling you can just pull less
Also they’d probably ask for that from the start
I'd like to pull more ideally, but as DRK I can't self sustain in a dungeon.
( I do suggest leveling a healer though, if only so that you know how healers work )
It helps when tanking if you know what your healer is capable of
you can do big pulls in dungeons as drk just fine
That’s not at all true about the self sustain
sometimes you just have shit healers
Or shit gear. 🙃
and has nothing to do with being on a particular tank
Sometimes you just gotta adjust
That's why I'm asking the question.
Does DRK have self heals? I know they get a bit on their combo.
DRK can absolutely big pull, but the tank you're looking for is WAR
!action living dead
Grants the effect of Living Dead.
When HP is reduced to 0 while under the effect of Living Dead, instead of becoming KO'd, your status will change to Walking Dead.
Living Dead Duration: 10s
Additional Effect: Restores HP with each weaponskill successfully delivered or spell cast
Cure Potency: 1500
While under the effect of Walking Dead, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1. If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, an amount of HP totaling your maximum HP is restored, the effect will change to Undead Rebirth. If this amount is not restored, you will be KO'd.
Walking Dead Duration: 10s
While under the effect of Undead Rebirth, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1.
Undead Rebirth Duration: Time remaining on Walking Dead
!action abyssal drain
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 150 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Restores own HP
Cure Potency: 200
Additional Effect: Restores MP
Shares a recast timer with Carve and Spit.
!action blood weapon
Ohh that heals?
Grants 5 stacks of Blood Weapon, each stack increasing Blood Gauge by 10 and restoring MP upon landing weaponskills or spells.
Duration: 15s
Effect does not stack when hitting multiple targets with a single attack.
Blood weapon doesn't heal, does it?
Oh wait that’s mp
But more damage is technically sustaining
Enemy can’t kill you if it’s dead
Abyssal Drain I'm surprised heals and Carve and spit doesn't
Warrior is basically invulnerable on trash from level 54 (56?) forward with the amount of self-healing it puts out. The other tanks sometimes have to reign it in just a bit more. Or just actually manage more than 1 cooldown.
Yeah I think you're right. I'll sort WAR next :)
You don't have to self sustain in dungeons
Not sure if that's what you meant, but WAR has a very strong self-heal and a 25s cd ability that restores your health as you damage anything, so a pull of a few mobs will fully heal you when you use your AOE
That's why healers are there in the first place
When are you gonna use it though? Most of the time healers will heal DRK just fine.
And when you happen to have a healer that can't, switching to WAR is impossible anyway? @azure totem
the healer must sustain you, no matter if you're WAR or DRK or any other tanks.
Your observation that Warrior doesn't differ much from DRK is very true at levels up to 50 though. All tanks are pretty similar at those levels, really.
What's the 25s CD ability? Edit: Ignore me, you said WAR not DRK. I can't read haha
they all diverge around level 60 tbh.
!action Raw Intuition
Raw instinct/bloodwhetting
So basically there's no use case for what you want.
I'll level both at some point but ultimately it's good to have options!
Of course, I recommend leveling a lot of classes! But you said you wanted a second tank in case your healer can't deal with a DRK- that situation can literally not happen 🙂
while DRK may """"lack"""" on sustain (it doesn't tbh), it has a far better burst to tear through big pulls
aka Enemy can’t kill you if it’s dead
I personally love both DRK and WAR but DRK feels much nicer to use as you can use multiple damaging abilities at the same time
WeSmart
Basically what the other people said haha
Can't watch vid rn but what exactly is reaper and dark knight's playstyle?
Tanks largely play the same
1-2-3 combo with a burst
Reaper builds resources to do a super fast blender combo
Reaper has a priority based rotation
Their 1-2-3 and a few other cooldowns build up a red gauge, which you spend to build up a blue gauge to use Enshroud, your big burst combo skill
You get enshroud by doing your lvl 80 job quest, so don’t ignore them
Interesting. What do you guys mean by 1 2 3 ?
1-2-3 refers to their main combo
Reaper's 1-2-3 is Slice, Waxing Slice, and then Infernal Slice
is the game still on maint??
Yes.
one more hour unless they end earlier
okay thank you for the quick reply have a wonderful day / night
Dark Knight's 1-2-3 is Hard Slash, Syphon Strike, and Souleater.
You press them in that specific order or else your damage significantly lowers
all melee jobs have a basic combo that most people map to 123
So when i was creating the free account for ff14 (free trial) the confirmation code thingy kicked me out. Now it says i have to wait 24 HOURS to do it again. Is there anyway to fix this? if so thank you
i could really appreciate some help
should i just wait or is there a way around it?
i really want to play the game
So with maim, if you don’t combo you do 46% of the max potency
Also are there any classes I should avoid due to a difficulty or skill ceiling as a new player?
Nope
The game being under maintenance might be causing issues with that.
In terms of the starting jobs, they're all pretty approachable.
yeah
its a little frustrating
it was like no
i tried it again it said no
i tried what the internet said about resetting browser and going in again
N o
i dont want to keep doing it, im afraid itl crash
The maint ends literally in 40 minutes
how the bot convert to my local time
I heard some horror stories from my friend regarding black mage? I think it was called
Is there a particular reason
Don’t listen to them, play what you want
It’s your experience not theirs
it's really not difficult as some may say it is
it uses your timezone set in your discord settings
how to do it
for desktop discord it uses your computer settings.
Well I'll go through msq with my dragoon then for now
same thing for mobile, at least on iphone/ipad
Endwalker is what unlocks reaper right?
yep
I don’t know if klad was asking how to set up the actual time, but quick Google search gave this

Hello, after the maintaince will I still have a chance to do my last week's || Aglia || run for the coin? Or did the weekly reset for that already happen?
it should've reset in the past hour
allrighty, thanks
thanks
Please be clear about what you’re asking, next time
if i make alt on new server and make it 30 i get whole account playtime?
Yes if you haven't done it before
only if you didnt get before allrdy since its once only per account
wdym by before? it's not happen yet?
Gift of 15 days of free play time (*2)
*2 Limited to once per service account when creating a new character on either a New or Preferred World.
oh i see i see
Is the game back online
No.
maintenance should end soon though
8 minutes until the scheduled end.
Might go longer, though.
have faith
We got 1 min to go
Back up!
It’s back
yup
If I buy the shiba can I ride it before I get a chocobo?
hey, can people in the free trial use the data center travel system?
nothing I saw explicitly mentioned them as not being able to use it.
nice ty
does anyone know how long the website will be down for?
which website?
There’s also shit tons of people logging on right now
Home World Transfer is temporarily disabled until SE sees that the new JP datacenter and new EU worlds are stable, along with Datacenter travel
yeah guess ill transfer a bit later today
The lodestone and official twitter account will release a post once Home World Transfer is back up
ok nice
Yes i can't login
Is there a reason everyone is talking about transferring homeworlds?
Because new servers
Oh
Europe got 4 new worlds, Japan got a new datacenter
Free trial player can also change data centers?
That's transfering ur home world to another. Free trial can't use that
how long usually does it take for the Q's to let people in an hour or more? I think I have to wait a bit
the ACT isnt working coz of the new patch?
Plug-ins always break with patches
Really depends on timezone etc
Could be fine in an hour, could be worse if primetime comes up
Are u free trial?
is the new pandaemonium raids out this patch? or is that next?
Yes i don't mind waiting i guess
that would be the next
They get locked out if Qs exceed a threshold
I am using free trial
iirc new pandaemonium is 6.2?
yes
this isnt 6.2 is it, its 6.18 currently?
Try in an hour again
6.2 isnt until late aug
so that was end of august i think
okay will do thank you for your help
Yeah servers are just back up so everyone's rushing back in
when will the home server transfer be available? it doesn't let me but I cant find info on when it will allow transfers
^
When they determine all the changes to the dcs are fully stable
ok ty!
So basically it'll be available when it's available
They kinda fucked with dc structure A LOT
Does anyone know how I can recover my account if I dont remember my email?
I have my name password steam account steam keys and bank account but I forgot my email and it locked me out for "suspicious activity" after I uninstalled and reinstalled the game files on steam
Can you log onto the square enix account management website?
If so, then do that and head to account information, your email will be at the bottom
I’m pretty sure the email just said to reset your password
So do that
try what I said then
I dont know my email
I wonder dc travel still not working? I see error
I can totally prove its my account down to my billing address
But i forgot my email it was one I just made for FFXIV
Do what I said to see what your email is.
probably overcongested from lots of people using it, give it time.
!faq mogstation
Login doesn't require email
Mogstation has a link to the account details
@ebon fossil, check your spam folders.
It is possible the person that has compromised your account changed the e-mail adress, so you can't use it to restore it, can you still login to your account?
From what I can tell looking at the support center, you're pretty fucked then if you don't know what your email is.
I know my username and password, but I checked all the emails I remember and none of them link to my ffxiv accpunt
I have literal screenshots of my character on my steam acc

Are you serious that there's no way to contact them? I have my steam keys, hell I have billing history on my online bank login showing the monthly fee
steam login uses your steam id
If you're on chrome, try checking your saved passwords for any email accounts you might've missed.

isnt there a free world transfer going on?
how long does this promo ends?
Cuz they just majorly fucked with the dc structure
ohh
Only to the new worlds.
And only when they actually activate it
And no transfers til they're satisfied
I tried but its an american phone number and i am in Australia
i thought i read some free transfer in patch not in the past i guess
Transfers are always free to new worlds and there are new worlds
But see aforementioned point about fucking with dc structure
There will be free transfers to the new worlds but not until they activate transfers again
It's currently down until everything is safe n secure
i see thank you!
anyone knows If I make a new character on the new server on a trial version of the game and later buy the game will I get the 1mil gil and 15 days of playtime added?
or do I have the be owner of the game before I even create a character there
I keep trying to log into my SE account and it says my password is wrong so i reset my passwork like twice and my new passwork never works. Can someone help?
can you get tome weapon item from hunt?
SE or Mog
If you don’t have a one time password you leave that blank

They do actually
I never saw it. My eyes r bad and my tv is small so if its in small text that explains
Ahhhh so home world transfer is down for everybody?
Yes
so i want to focus on dps classes and ultimately play reaper - i was recommended to start as marauder so i chose that but now when i look up marauder again it seems its a tank? did i mess up already?
Is it known when it will be up again? Like hours or days?
You can just swap jobs later
U can play every role on the same character so just switch off marauder at lvl 10
Whenever SE judges it to be ready to bring back
They'll make a post when it's ready for use
Now when you say dps. do you mean melee, casters, or ranged
but will it require a lot of time to do this later? one article i read says i have to go to a different world or something like that
It's just a different city, the story sends u there anyway
Depending on what class u want anyway
You unlock the ability to get other classes/jobs after you complete the level 10 class quest for your starting class
which is like 2 or 3 hours in
If you really want to be a dps from the start, you could just make a new character
if you quite literally just made the character, you can delete it and remake as the class you want
to be clear, you can still earn the current pvp season's track rewards, right?
melee most likely, not really a fan of being in the back casting but hopefully ill get to at least try various classes like casters and ranged, see how it is in this game
!faq pvpseason
**PvP Season: **The ranked season, shorter than a Series, you receive rewards based on your Crystal Conflict rank at the end of the season.
PvP Series: The battle pass style reward system for PvP, rewards unique rewards alongside crystal trophies, each season lasts 1 major patch, example 6.1 > 6.2. Series EXP can be gained through all PvP modes, not just Crystal Conflict.
all jobs are in melee range usually anyways
Series hasn't ended yet.
tyty, forgot it had a different name
Then Your 2 options are lancer and pugilist, for now
blame SE for similar names
i just dont want to be slowed down a lot in combat starting out as marauder
That’s not a thing
compared to dps
Also you can turn off @ when replying
wait DC travel is limited to region?
always was
Nothing changed from when they first said how it’d work
thanks thats good to know, usually tank damage sucks a lot compared to dps in mmos
In FFXIV everyone is a dps 
At least everyone's job is to do as much dmg as possible
Not attacking when you can be is griefing
how does transferring to the new worlds work?
is it free? do you get any advantage?
im maybe an hour in, did some quests, would rather not repeat the whole character creation process again if i can - ive been lead to this marauder NPC (Way of the Marauder quest) then i said let me check and see if this is what i really want to go with, then i found out its a tank not dps
but i guess going with marauder for now is ok since i can change in a few hours
So if I did the free transfer what are the benefits?

just have to give it time.
"Double EXP bonus (until level 80 is reached) (valid for 90 days following transfer)"
all jobs or only one?
all jobs
damn..
Is there an unofficial list of which of the new servers will be more raider-centric, rp-centric etc?
No
No, because that’s probably not gonna be a thing
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Southeast Asian and Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
can you world transfer if you already DCT, if anyone tried it yet?
raiding centric worlds is practically a meme.
Barely anyone makes server-specific statics nowadays
say you go to crystal/Balmung and then "oops I logged into Pearl lane".
Can you go to a big aetheryte in the 3 big cities and switch to Goblin?
we can't test it
oof. still overloaded?
as home world transfer is not currently available
so for today at least "make your transfer count"?
Also, I'm pretty sure one of the requirements for home world transfer is to be on your home world.
I'd find the lodestone page for it but its still down
so REALLY make your transfer count I take it.
Aether Home -> Balmung -> Aether home -> Goblin?
If I own the SE launcher version, but the expansion is on sale on Steam, could I buy the expansion and link my SE version with the Steam version?
If you bought the game non-steam, you can't use steam expansions.
it's too late for you to link
your only chance was non-steam free trial
when's the most likely times they'll have a story/level skip sales

...they have those???
I've got some alts that can't take advantage of the DC travel
there's no real rhyme or reason to the store sales
There's no real consistency to sales.
What if I'm still on the non-steam free trial
I bought shb skip on my alt for 25$ I didnt think theyd make it any cheaper
especially what they put on sale
then buy the base game or complete edition on steam
and go through the linking process
So linking is still possible, great :D
if i started the free trial from the ff14 site....its impossible for me to use the steam version or use the expansions from steam?
would I get more mileage from a SB story skip or a ShB story skip?
Not a question we can answer
fair
SHB skip if you mean time saved.
but in terms of "I want to understand the story without being majorly confused" I only recommend ARR+HW skip at most.
false, i didnt buy the game yet like he did
^ same position
how long does it take to get archfiend armor in pvp?
and how long do i have before it's unobtainable
You have until 6.3 completely makes it unobtainable.
6.2 will move it from the series malmstones to the crystal shop
Have they announced the new IP addresses for the new DCs? My server got moved and I wanted to check my ping and all that.
As for how long, it greatly depends on how often you win in crystal conflict, as that's the fastest thing to do assuming decent queue times
they don't announce the IPs, players find that on their own ends

Alrighty, thanks.
You know what, it might actually be 155 instead of 159
i pinged 159 and got no responses, but 155 had hits
I'll wait on adding it to the faq until I get confirmation from others, just in case.
so im trying to play the demo/trial on steam (previously started a trial through the SE site but would prefer playing via steam) and im getting a "This service account not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired.)
and the only option now is "I currently possess an account" when attempting to play the steam trial
if you're trying to use the account you started on the SE site to login thru steam client, you cannot
you would have to make a new account
You can't go from non-steam trial to steam trial, you need to buy the game on steam.
why cant you make a new character on chaos? my friend is trying to join the game but cant bc its full
Maint ended, everyone is logging in
not the best time to join the game right now
Now is a really bad time to try and make a character
Either give it a few hours and check or do it tomorrow
thank you
but it looks like its forcing me to log into that account i made on the SE site, thats the only option i have on the steam launcher now - at first there was an option to register an account but that seems to have disappeared after attempting to login with the account i made on the SE site
any way around that?
Do any of the other Mogstation Mounts have the speed boost that SDS Fenrir has or is it exclusive to that mount?
only fenrir
Also the speed boost only applies to ground movement, so it's only good until you have flying for the zone.
Again you as a non steam trial player, can’t use the steam trial at all
Unless you make a completely different account, or buy the game on steam and register it
ohic. Shame was hoping some of the other mounts had that functionality
@obsidian patio just to clarify, crystal shop means the cash shop right?
might be a stupid question but does mount size scale with character size like it does in say WoW? Like if im a Lalafell will my mount be smaller than other races mounts?
The malmstones
if it's a multi-seater mount, then they don't scale.
i know that - as i said the issue is it isnt allowing me to make a different account on the steam launcher at all
Some single-seat mounts don't scale.
The new Shiba mount and the Carb mount in the store?
?
you may need to completely remove the free trial from your computer
including the documents/my games/ folder of the game
You know these guys, there’s a shop to use them in wolf’s den
yeah this might fix it, ill try uninstalling/deleting everything
ohh so you just exchange crystals for it, while currently the only way is through the coffer
this means you can only get a set for only one role rn?
It’s for all classes, if you mean archfiend
yeah this is basically what happened, hopefully uninstalling all the files downloaded from the SE site for the trial from there will open up that option to register a steam account again, rather not wait on SE support to "assess if they are able to assist"
oh really now, it looked like tank armor
alright i think i understand everything now
thanks
both of them scale
ty
This is a bit outdated, but it has all the mounts pre-EW that don't scale in size. https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/nyu83v/mounts_that_dont_change_size/h1n89bu/

is a fantasia the only thing to change our voice ?
Been playing the free trail for a week and decided to buy the full game. Bought the full game on the square enix store and got the code. No idea where to use the code to convert my account to the full version.
yes
ok cool ty
should be one of the buttons on the service account dashboard
another stupid question.
i currently have the "ties that band" quest in my log, and i wanna switch servers. i know that you can cancel it at the sanctum administrator guy.
can i accept the quest later again? i bought the gold plan for it and i dont wanna set 8 bucks into the sand.
the website shows the option to transfer my character to a full version of the game, but doesnt give me the option to insert a code. Instead, it just asks to pay for it and idk where I put the code.
That’s registering the full version, and it should give options
oh i see
thanks for the help
yeah, didnt realize register meant that
usually most games just say "code redeem" or something liek that
if data center travel region? if im only elemental can i go to mana? or NA?
ohh other region is not yet implemented? sorry for asking not updated 😦
okay thank you
When I upgraded my account, its downloading more data, is that common? Im guessing its downloading content for the newer expansions
yes, you're downloading the content you didnt have on the free trial
hey guys, how well would this laptop run ffxiv?
supposedly the iGPU in this CPU is the best out there
you should ask in #technology-discussion
Im guessing you are going for a laptop? Since its always better to go PC unless you need the portability
Also the game site says the tech specs needed to run
What's the fastest way to look up when the next housing lottery is?
man...why the hell dont they add this important information THAT SE ACCOUNTS CANT BE LINKED TO STEAM ACCOUNTS
now i need to wait up to a week for them to fix this
no excuse for that except laziness
They did, and this isn’t the channel to complain about your mistake
there is no information or warning about that whatsoever on the steam launcher period
Steam info and the square store info respectively
tbf, a ton of people miss this detail when they buy the steam version of the game
i feel like a quarter of the new player questions on this channel is about steam version and SE accounts not linking
most new players arent going to be reading through all the terms and small details like this - like i said, this critically important information that leads to MAJOR issues is stated nowhere on the steam launcher
not surprised to hear that
people aren't even gonna read it on the steam launcher either so regardless where you put it, people won't read
can you get steam to refund your purchase?
people don't read posts on the regular launcher so the point is moot
just buy the game through SE website
Snack they’re talking about the trial
if you turn in gear to your GC, your FC also gets points/seals from it?
yes
they get fc points
yes they are because there is far less information to sift through on the launcher, thats where the most important information is usually located yet this linking issue that could lead to waiting a week for support to fix it is nowhere to be found on it - new players that want to try the steam trial are just going to go straight to steam and download the demo not sit there reading paragraphs upon paragraphs to finally discover this critical information
there is no way you can argue against that, last i have to say on that, this is nonsense
If people read things, this channel wouldn't exist
Please read the channel rules first
does data center travel work in the same way as world travel
nah
you go to character screen (before you log in), right click, and then its very slow to transfer
apparently around 20m
oh that's unfortunate
when is server transfer gonna be up? i wanna move my alt to jp :/
When they tell us it’s ready
We have no idea when that is
when they fix the things that broke, the things we knew would break but hoped wouldn't
Take all items entrusted by the Calamity Salvager (located in each main city).
they said you should do this before home transferring, although im not sure what it means
Belts
ah
can a free trial character be invited to to another logical data center to play?
what if the server will reach decent amount of players before they enable transfering players ? no rewards ?
imagine that
is collectibles at|| radz at han ||good way to level few of the remaining crafting jobs to 90? i never done rarefied collectibes and can't find a ton of info online
world status (preferred/new/congested) do not change based quickly
they change with a maintenance/patch
and we're not due for another maint/patch for awhile
so transfer rewards aren't going to change any time soon
The recently added Material Container 3.0/4.0, are they worth a bit? Or do they only give cheap stuff?
yes collectables are perfectly good way to level crafter/gatherers
how to get started with them? just buy the mats off of mb and craft?
there are some decent things in there that still sell well. like night pegasus but the mounts are quite low
at GC ? dunno with containers i was getting but give random minions which are mostly 1k but occasionally 100k
same way you do any other craft, buy or gather the materials yourself. craft the item to the highest tier collectable you can and then turn in
they are not a good investment if you care about gil
Yush. Well, nothing else to sink company seals in I suppose
I'm getting this now:(
I did get a dodo mount from one, but I've opened at least a hundred, maybe more
Its mainly the choice between getting seals or desynthing
How long does it usually take for world transfer to start working after maintenance?
they'll inform us of when world transfer is re-enabled
Have other people been having this issue?
it's basically gambling because there are high value items but your returns on them will vary heavily
i've gotten a few high value items likeflying chair a few times
That's fair. I don't know if I've ever gotten anything useful from desynthing, ever.
Well, cept for fish
So i found those NPCs in the Gold Saucer, they suddenly appeared and another friend cannot see them and it's only me who can. Are they related to any part of any story?
Trial mats
The HW alliance raids
Do trials in modern expansions also have unique mats? I thought that was only ARR
yes
Very neat.
on launch they all have a base mat but the craftable variants of certain weapons are only available later
EX2 and EX3 being the primary examples
5.0 ex trail mats went for over 1 mil back a month or two ago
Wow, impressive.
And the others will shoot in price when their weapons get added, because people like glam
Just for record. I went to my files and moved that file to the desktop and the game started right up
im guessing dc traveling is currently... a bit yea ?
If i get a penalty for not joining a queue in duty finder do i get less xp reward
yea they're dealing with congestion
Penalties have 0 affect on rewards
no, penalty is for queueing
Alr
if you get 3 penalties you can't queue for a bit
3 penalties in a row = 30 minute lockout
yes
lodestone asys it's a bit messed up rn
anyone know if you can get either 1. The 15 days free game time or, 2. the million gil again if u got them when the oceanic DC was opened (considering im on Light DC)?
they're once per service account yeah
If I already have a character at lvl90, do I still benefit from the RT80 buff from the free transfer of this character?
do you have all at 90, or 81_?
I don't have all jobs at 90, no
because road to 80 applies to all jobs/classes, so long as they are under 80
it'll still apply but only to stuff under 80
Understood, thank you
sadge got a mil gil stuck on oceania was hoping to get it again on Light 😄
ty anyway
Iirc the million gil is once per DC
Just freely transfer to one of the newer light servers when that's back
And use a friend or something to move the money over
you're right, double checked the page
so you could get it again on EU
All competitors will begin Season Two placed five risers below where they finished Season One, with zero Rising Stars.
does this mean if i was diamond 3 i'll be platinum 3 with 0 stars?
my pet has stopped attacking? any help xd ive put him on guard and he just stands there like a muppet
You tell it to
Yes
um
the home world transfer in mog station any idea when it gonna open again?
i waited maint to be over and it still doesnt work
The other carbuncles/summons do 1 attack when pressed then leave
They will open it when the worlds are stable
No ETA
ohh oki,thank you
cool, wasn't really looking forward to climbing back up from bronze again
what NA server has the most PF activity in your experience?
all of them
about equal then?
yes
When to use Meisui on ninja? Seems better to cast Suiton for 500, instead of Bhavacakra for 350?
Oh, it seems I misunderstood how TCJ works, ty
You're always going Fuma Raiton Suiton in single target
So
Eat the spare suiton with Meisui that's what it's there for
Same cooldowns and everything
Ye, I didn't know it changed last ninjutsu based on input order for TCJ 
Guys how do i visit a light datacenter??
Not sure if this is appropriate but is there a way I can report a website? I just got an ad on YouTube that is charging for ultimate boosts and I assume that’s massively tos and that website can get taken down?
out of sheer curiosity what are the ranking rewards you get for S1 of CC?
this really isn't the place for that kind of question
while yes its 14 boosting, its not handled by SE and you'd probably have to go thru youtube
Quick question. I’m currently in Europe for vacation but my character is on a NA data center. If I dc travel to EU servers will my ping be better, theoretically? Not sure how it works since it’s not a permanent transfer, just server hopping
datacenter travel is inside of a regions
Oh
so only NA servers to NA
Ah, I see thanks for clearing it up
How does one travel to another data center ? When i press the head icon next to my character name i get told to do a backup ? i did it in the launcher and uploaded one and still get that damn warning
Anyone know what the issue is? I just deleted 7 GB worth of screenshots and videos when it asked me to delete 150 MB and Im still getting the same error?
it's currently temporarily on hold because too many people were trying to use it
As expected
is there any way to redownload the game files to continue the free trial if you recently uninstalled everything
without having to make a new account
windows version
not seeing anything so far
if you have not payed the sub ya should just redownload it?
this is how i was hoping for it to work, thats logical
If your account is for the non steam trial, you just redownload and log in. Just because you deleted the launcher doesn’t mean your account was wiped
but when i log into my account i dont see any download option and then on the free trial page if iselect 'sign in with SE account' it says something about free trial is only for users who dont already have an account
oh you mean like you cant get an install file
!faq freetrial
yeah i need to redownload the game again, i uninstalled everything to try and fix the linking issues on steam but im just going to stick to windowed version
Hey guys, I can't do beast tribe anymore even after the 24h maintenance, it keep my daily at 6 and giving this message (i just login).
Been happen before maintenance 1 day
that seems to be the file i was looking for
check your quest journal for any dailies, and either complete or abandon them
looks like you still may have one not done
hmm i only got 13 free days from getting level 30
wait or i might be stupid
yes it's the latter i guess
do we know when home world transfer service will be back up
when its fixed
ok
For how long will you be able to create new character on new server and level it to 30 to gain bonus 15 days sub?
as long as the server is classified as New
meaning, if people would throw themselves at the server, it could lose it's new status next week or in few days?
no
world status doesn't change that quickly
generally only changes with a patch or maintenance
current new servers will probably stay that way for several months
statuses are changed by Square enix, manually, so usually only when patches come out
okay, thank's a lot
so at a minimum, you have something like 3-4 months
unless something drastic happens
that needs them to change it before then
6 months minimum
no word about restoring Home World Transfer Service yet?
when its fixed, is all we know
check #lodestone-news-na for updates
yeah, apparently the DC travel thing is holding things back
was wondering if we at least got an ETA for the transfer thing since it's been a week now
They literally said they'll wait until servers are stable
I know, that's vague though
if they could be specific, they would
its kinda hard to know how long something is to fix, if you are still figuring out the problem in the first place
Why not allow home world transfer first and enable DC travel a week later though lmao. SE dropped the ball on this one hard
well being stable can mean many things - back when we got the queue due to the large influx of new players, servers were unstable for a month or so
Stable means not having 15000 requests a minute
that's the simpler way of putting it, yes
we're not squenix and complaining here does nothing
they should've seen this coming and predicted this but they didn't so here we are
That just breaks it one week later
Yeah but you give people a chance to transfer home worlds first so they dont moan about not being able to
you save yourself 1 hassle. now they got 2 hassles. DC travel and home transfer. they could have avoided 1
It wouldnt cause people would still be wanting to transfer later
there will ALways be people moaning about not being able to do something if its offline
Best to get things out of the way now, rather than later
also, the DC travel system likely hooks into the Home world transfer system , since one is just a temporary version of the other really
in my case there was a transfer pending and literally got the suspension as bad timing
so having home world transfer up when Dc travel was added, probably isn't an option
anyway, ALL speculation, take it to other channels
This isn't the channel to be debating what to do or what should be done
My launcher wouldn't install 6.18 so I'm reinstalling ffxiv, but it won't stop installing the patches in my C drive, while my entire game is installed and runs off my D drive (the C drive is too small and cant hold the 72gb of patches it's trying to install).
any tips on the final lvl 50 squadron mission "Imposter Alert"? Seems like no matter what I do, I can't meet the stat thresholds required to pass. All my recruits are max lvl 60 and from what I understand, you need to meet all three for this one to pass unlike the others where you'll be fine just meeting 2/3 of the stats.
Does anyone have any idea how to redirect the patch install path?
Any idea when I can buy a server transfer >.>
.
Discussed abit earlier
general question here, if I don't own endwalker.... do endwalker balance changes affect my character/jobs?
yes
yes
ok thats what i thought
It's changes to the base game
Not endwalker exclusive
Otherwise you'll have 5 different versions of the same job running around
#952326072542847016 may help
probably install the launcher in D drive, it auto default the installing location based on the launcher @waxen anvil m
it seems like you are put down 5 tiers from where you were?
I was crystal at the end of the season and now i'm diamond 5
everyone gets deranked when a new season starts
yes, they have stated that in the patch note
but you cant derank within a season
bozja
spamming dungeon as it's always be
or that
There’s no new method? Damn i was expecting morecoming back to endwalker
which is mainly dungeon spam
Why would the 81-90 expansion introduce alt leveling for 71-80?
Cause we already have all the methods for 71-80
Very subjective
Find some random picker for yourself if you can't decide
This is a help desk
Or ask #general-discussion
if i buy Endwalker expansion do i get the shadowbringers and stormblood too ?
Yes
Okay thanks
Hi 😅 , how does a free trial player travel to Empyreum or Shirogane housing districts?
you get to heavensward for empyreum
By unlocking housing for empyreum
you cant go to shirogane
And theyre banned from shirogane
you can
If they add you
Ohhh I see
free trial players cant have houses or apartments so
Well that makes life massively easier for the free trial players to join social events 🤔
Provided you friend someone in that ward
Can't have shit on free trial lol
Not even in the ward, you can still ward jump. You just can't leave the ward normally since you don't have the ability to unlock the cities.
Is there a seasonal event schedule that I can find?
No
Not currently, as they have not annouced any upcoming events.
Alright
And that's not really a seasonal event anyways
But they're FINALLY releasing the demon brick earring
So that's neat
Thank you a bunch guys, Im really happy i'll be able to have some free trial people over at my ishgardian estate ❤️
We have general times for when seasonals happen, nothing exact until they’re announced
Unless Shenanigans happen (see: delayed Halloween event from last? two years ago???) Generally seasonal events happen approximately around the same time
Like there's a Christmas event around Christmas, a Halloween, an Easter, new year's, summer
Game anniversary
Did I miss anything?
Lunar New Year
Whatever you call Make it rain
Capitalism
Lmao
Gottem
Capitalism relics soontm
Actually scratch that rowenas always involved, they're all capitalism relics
Yeah I think make it rain is the only one without a real life equivalent
moonfire
quick question, can i change my name with a fantasia or is that a different service
different service
thanks
How do i get the coins for the retainers
i know you can get them from at least ARR beast tribe quests
also you can buy them from your grand company at a certain rank
How can i transfer my character to the new server?
You don't
World transfer is down until they're satisfied with the stability of all the dc changes
And they're not
ty
1099
when you buy Crysta you can specify how much Euro's in crysta you want.
World Transfer is up now?
Still no
is it worth getting standard of entry ?
🥲
can you not enter a number here
my friend is just starting the game but my char is already lv 50 i cannot redo the story with him right
if i go to a diff job
can i redo it with him then
Well you can't do solo content with them
And the first 15 levels depends on your starting class
But otherwise yes
And you don’t get exp from quests
dumb question but how do i actually level alt jobs
!faq altlevelingjobs
!faq altlvlguide
Doing content as the job, potd, dungeons, fates, side quests
so i can't really re live the content with him and leveling alongside him
if i don't maker a second char
seems kinda waste to do so, it's more fun to have everything on 1 acc
but i don't get exp for it right or am i missing something
You can always just do story with them on a higher level job
do i get downscaled
Yoh won't get quest exp but you'll be doing dungeons with them
no
in duties yes
In dungeons and trials
so if i just quest with him ima end up oneshotting everything xD
…overworld fights aren’t hard in the slightest and even random people could just attack stuff for you
They dont get xp if ur in the party saint
They can tag mobs and u kill them then they do
i need help, can someone go to my fc house and tend to my plants...
ask an fc member
Looks like your plant will dry out 💀
none available... this is my last resort
This channel isn’t for getting people to do things for you
just asking for help, not for free obviously
if lets say my friend starts anew and i go to a diff job can i keep the same pace with him so i can at least do dungeons etc with him
while he levels with main quests and i do fates, dungeons etc
yes
U will be a bit ahead cuz u have a higher level class and u gain a xp boost
On alts
Not by much doe
