Aether and Primal both.
But also keep in mind that it's not even noon on a weekday, so you're way off peak hours right now.
yeah, the reason i wanted to check out DC travel in the first place is cause some dude from another DC joined my PF group and had totally different strats. I thought it was interesting that PF would be totally different on a idfferent server and I thought i'd check it out
yeah fs
People are at work.
Got skill speed + 0 on a meld. what does that mean?
It means you were already capped for that stat
means you got no skill speed
It means you're not getting skill speed from the meld
Cause it's capped on the gear
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 7 and 8 Materia require an item level of 420 while Tiers 9 and 10 require an item level of 560.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
ok. is there a way to empty materia slots I melded in?
Right click retrieve
Oh. Thanks. At least the materia is not going to waste
oops wrong place to post
Does buying ffxiv complete edition on steam include all expansions? on the page it says it only contains the base game and endwalker

Before purchasing, you may wish to try out the game with the Free Trial, which allows you to experience the game up to level 60 with no limitations on playtime, albeit with some social and trade-related restrictions. See !faq freetrial for info.
Please be aware that FFXIV is a subscription-based game, and after purchasing the game you must pay for each month of play. There is no way to return to being a Free Trial player after you have registered a purchased copy of the game to your account; you must pay to log in and continue playing.
PC users: make sure to buy the game on your preferred store (Steam vs. Square Enix Store). Purchasing the game on Steam locks you into using Steam for all future expansion purchases, and similarly purchasing it via Square Enix Store or any other non-Steam retailer locks you out of ever using Steam to play FFXIV. After your game code has been registered to your FFXIV account, this decision can never be changed.
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition:
AKA the ''base game.'' Gives access to A Realm Reborn and Heavensward. This is the same content that you can play during the Free Trial, but with the Free Trial restrictions on social interactions, trading, PvP etc. lifted. Comes with 30 days of subscription time.
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker:
Gives access to Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and the latest expansion, Endwalker. Does not include any bonus subscription time.
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition:
Combines all of the above into a single purchase (including the 30 days of subscription time). This cannot be used if you have already registered the Starter Edition.
I see thank you!

steam doesn't matter
It doesn’t?
i did buy it with all dlc on ps5
pc to ps5 doesn't matter if you're steam or non steam
It’s just a PC lockout?
yes
Ah
because steam and non steam fill the same slot
Did you register it @supple kraken
did you buy the base game on ps5
yes i think i did but that link to my second ffxiv
i did endwalker and the game

big spoiler question: what's the name of the song that plays when ||venat confronts the ancients in the final days flashback and she clutches her sword when the others ignore her plight||
don't tell me you create a new one to register the code
it's not letting me
@hasty turtle answers
Hey guys. I tried to DC travel earlier and at the 10 minute mark, I closed my game and reopened it 'cause I thought I was stuck. Once I reopened it I got back into the travel queue and after 10 more minutes I got into the menu screen. Now I can't do anything. I can't log in (when I try to it says "Unable to execute command. Character is currently visiting another Data Center" and I can't right click my name to access the other options.
dumb question but how do i zoom out on the map as in i go from a small region to the bigger map without pressing the small button on the map
is there no keybind ?
how do i find that
i did with the same account my pc account on ps5
!quest So You Want to be a Lancer
@pure flume
open the gridania aethernet menu, there is a lancer guild location on it
. do you know this maybe ?
that's when ||she's walking covered in wounds, i'm talking before that, when she's directly speaking with the ancients and she tells them to accept sorrow||
it's lyricless music
Still Answers
that's still answers
no it isn't answers
Plays in Turn 12?
can you change back to the main menu where you can see the account information including what license you are currently owning?
Hey, currently the Home World Transfer Service is down because servers are unstable, if I understand it correctly. Do we have any idea when they would be considered stable again based on previous maintenances? Like, should I expect it to happen tomorrow or more like next week?
@hasty turtle https://youtu.be/8mM-nHCieSI
It’s still technically Answers 
where do you mean on ps5 ?
No
on Mogstation
I think he refers to home world transfer which is still unavailable before the maint, not the dc travel
? here
scroll down
Yeah, it's not gonna be available BECAUSE of dc travel
yeah, i meant home world transfer, but i believe DC travel is the reason why they have problems. I think they enabled DC travel but in restricted form, or am I wrong? that could mean they will fix it soon, i hope
So homeworld transfers not coming back til it's all stable
This was in the lodestone post about the home world transfer suspension iirc
my bad, click on the Service account status under Service account setting@supple kraken
yeah, i know it was just added, but i think there was message today about them enabling it in restricted form or something (https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/53ffec5987b079a762eea36d442afca58f1e9ca9), which could mean they are close to handling it
you haven't bought license for ps5 on this service account
If they have to restrict it, probably means it's not hitting their stability goal
service account
just as I though, you create a new service account to make the purchase
when you should not do that
then what i have to do now
because i did by mistake
choosing the service account with the PS5 license on Mog first then log in on PS5 launcher with it, an entirely new account
when you want to play on PC, switch on Mog back to the one with PC license
is the NA data center travel open?
any way to zoom out of the map without using that small arrow
I don't think they will refund you this, but try to contact support, asking them to move the license from the new PS5 one back to the PC
can you run any 70+ dungeons unsynced at level 80?
it's no way to play on both now ? my same characters sometimes i have to travel and i can't take my pc i take my playstation
it was two entirely different account now, each with separate license
By that you mean swapping from like...zone map to region map?
Not that I know of???
damn i hate pressing that small button
Not one one controller I'm pretty sure
and select the region
There's a controller one
no i wanted a keybind for it
But I only ever hit it by accident
you know another way to give licence again to my characters service ?
Is there?
So I don't know what it is
or something to press other than the small arrow
Logically, they're two entirely different accounts with entirely different characters.
Contact SE support if you want to get it refunded so you can apply it to the correct service account.
Triangle maybe?
like i would scroll in and out with my wheel without pressing on the + and -
I play with a switch controller
yes triangle zooms out
Yeah it's the top face button
... Gross
ok thanks
i'm on m&k btw
probably try page up/down
that zooms out my character
scroll wheel with the map active/selected
Mouse onto the map
it just zooms out
scratches head
i want to from this to this without really pressing the small arrow if that makes sense
should be a keybind for no ?

the notes when ||she conjures her sword|| tickled my ears
Take it to #Endwalker Discussion 
I'm not sure if there's a keybind for it but you can probably just make one with the controller keybind that does it
i'm on mouse and keyboard
Yes and there's a gamepad section in keybinds
It'll do what that button would do on a controller but with the keyboard or mouse
Are you sure you didn’t mess with the buttons on the top left of the map
ohh damn it actually works
can take 30+ mins if you're going to a populated world.
i binded a key to it and it works lmao thanks bunches @raven sage
id assume thats the issue then
can anyone give me the link to a leveling guide cuz got no story quests for my alt
!faq altlvlguide
Then you're either in ng+ mode or already unlocked the class/job
Equip the weapon
I'd you don't have a weapon vendors in the city will sell a level 1 weapon
Weathered Lance or spear or smth
how can i see which shop sells low lv weapons or do i just have to go past them every single one
cuz they're all just labeled shop
Look at the vendors in person
They have different <names>
gochu
thanks bunches guys
this hotbar i set on my blackmage stayed on my lancer
can i make it so it goes away
yo, how long is to lv up a 2ºnd job on potd?? like sarting on floor 1
depends
on how good you are, how long its taking you to clear
etc etc etc
queue times
yeah but i mean, is like 1 day? 6h? idk and thats i want to know
only this
Also dungeons are still faster, and duty support exists
the altlvl guide calculator is also innacurrate so no way to really tell
what’s the best na raiding server?
There isn't one
Not a thing
server choice means sweet fuck all
just what region your server's in
NA,JP,EU or Aussie land
All DCs do
NA players are scared of macros
How I start season 2 of crystline conflict? It still say Series 1 and I can't progess
That's cuz a season is not a series
!faq pvpseries
**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.
Query! If I make an alt, level a combat job to 50 then level a blu mage to 70, can I unlock Sage or would I have to level some other combat job to 70?
It just wants a lvl 70 job, doesn’t matter which
is there a discord server for people who want to find other people to do dailies with????
ty1!
You're not gonna feasibly be able to level a blu to 70 tho
i have disabled all the higher lv quests but i still see some in my list on the right side
any way to remove em so i can only see the quests i can currently do
Press the littld square twice until there's a red circle
click the box twice
thanks
out of curiosity
what happens if you alt f4 or disconnect when in the DC travel process
I mean you can fuck around and find out, I doubt it's documented yet
if I were to hazard a guess, transfer process continues server side
does complete edition give you anything extra or is it just better to buy base + endwalker? because it's actually cheaper than complete
That's more expensive normally
its literally the same as buying base+endwalker
then why is it more expensive
the only difference would be if one or the other is on sale
Sales?
Complete edition gives you free 30 days
that's from the starter edition
and complete is just starter + endwalker
they would both give 30 days free, since they are buying starter edition in both scenarios
so i am better off not buying complete ig
Oh yeah starter but if its cheaper to buy them separately then do that
Do you want the other expansions or no
doesn't endwalker give all the expansions?
It should

The Starter edition is $20, EW expansion is $40. Complete is $60.
They are the same total price.
Endwalker is currently on sale on steam*
on my reigon it's like 7$ cheaper to buy seperate
so ima do that i just thought complete gives something extra
ty guys
Again, if its $7 cheaper to buy it seperate then do that. Either way you will get everything anyway
That's funky, but if it's cheaper, it's cheaper, save that money
Also if you wanna buy it on steam today is the last day for that sale
if I buy ffxiv in steam can i access my character made in official site?
or are they different player base
Do you already own the game or are u just on trial
trial
Then yea
everyone plays on the same servers, non steam pc, steam and ps
so it doesn't matter if I buy steam or on their site?
even filthy mac gamers and the maniacs who hotwire the game to run on linux
ya
great alright thanks for the help 😄
the only thing to note with steam is that buying thru steam locks you into steam
so any and all future expansion purchases have to be from steam
I'm loving ffxiv right now only been playing a week i think and will buy once I'm reach the limit of the trial xD
you can buy in advance if there's sales or the like and wait to redeem the code til you've milked the trial for all it's got
for what is the palace of the dead ? just following the leveling guide but idk is this supposed to be for leveling or for what is it
oh okay something to think about is that bad compared to buying through the official site?
been locked to buying only through steam
Steam is steam only, other license technically allows for third party sellers that can have their own sales
I bought mine from the official site and was fine
a whole other game mode basically
might be easier to google the full details
But if youve bought everything through steam then i don't see why you should Not Buy It Through Steam
any use coming back here besides to level ?
titles, challenge, loot, glam, story
if you're someone who's a deal hunter, going thru steam may not be ideal since steam version tends to not go on sale very often
otherwise, its not really that different than buying from SE
achievements
I mean the only difference between steam and non steam is using the launcher
steam also lets you pay your sub and other cash shop stuff through steam
which can also be useful for regional shit
Otherwise if you buy the non steam version you'd have to buy the whole game again
wut
Though idk if that counts as a "separate license"
what do you mean again
you can't have steam and se license on one account
only one license for windows
steam or se
Then you can't. You just answered my question
So yes you are quite literally stuck on steam
It doesnt work like ps5 vs windows/steam
good thing I haven't bought yet though steam sale looks tempting to buy now xD
Wait now I'm confused. You haven't bought ff14 yet or did you
he's a trial sprout
.
I'm on trial
Oh trial
Anyway if you intend to make a decision you should soon because steam sale ends tomorrow
ah okay thanks for the heads up does the collector edition include expansions in future like complete or that a no
It does
no
no it does not
collectors is extra cosmetics
like minions and mounts and weapon skins
oh it says endwalker collector edition
bruh what
okay will do complete version seems my way to go
neither complete nor collector's edition future proofs anything
it only contains current expansions
how to i get more achiement coin things to get more mounts?
You dont have to be rude
you'll have to buy future expacs when they release
get more achievements
then talk to jonathas
^
figures, ty
you really won't care soon enough
I suddenly can't make mistakes when I help people my god
I've nothing to spend them on
i just want a good mount that i dont have to pay for lol
thanks for all the help its much appreciated
msq and levelling jobs will get you plenty
There is behemoth mount
50 points per coin
how do i open the item menu in palace of the dead

Is there anything needing downloading after the maintenance? can’t check rn to see
I had to update launcher yes
But it's not too big
kk tytyty
some upcoming shit for the moogle tome event and the functional data for dc travel
Hey can anyone help me figure out how to find and kill targets for a Clan Hunt (doing Heavensward hunts btw)
what level are you?
ok, you'll want to do the b-rank mark. the hunt person should give you a book of marks. open it and it'll tell you which zone the b-rank is in. head there and you should get a chat message saying "you sense your mark to the <direction>"
when flying is unlocked is it unlocked for every area
No
MSQ Locked
only in ARR zones
and then you'll be introduced to the mechanics in HW
where it's also still tied to MSQ
HW and beyond they're unlocked by-zone
ah so the other areas locked behind msq quests?
yes
largely
My first target was in Riversmeet, I head to Riversmeet, got 0 indication of where it might be
okay thanks I unlocked it after ultima and love flying so much better
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is located in Collection under the Duty menu, you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
For the generic enemies, you can just Google their location. The spawn zones for them never change
Hello, Can I make a specific bar the same between all jobs ? that doesn't change when changing jobs
yes, tick the 'shared bar' option
oh ok, well look for that, ty
As long as it only contains general commands not specific to a role or class.
It's in this part of the Character Configuration menu
Logically it would seem to be in the hotbar's settings menu in the UI editor, but it's not.
what level should my crafters be ebfore i take them into the ishgard crafting area?
Also you can have class-specific skills in a shared hotbar. You simply won't be able to use them if you're not on that class.
ty
Same with role actions. My Hotbar 4 has Peloton as a dedicated skill, so I never have to think about it when I swap around pranged, but I can't actually use it unless I'm on Bard/Machinist/Dancer.
20
First craft is at 20
Goes to 80
Is there any way to cancel this? Does force closing the game stop it?
You have to wait it out
I'll have to enjoy my time there then. ty for the info
anyone know what happens if i buy this
as I could I actually use it and what expansion would I get
You'll get a key for the Stormblood expansion, but I wouldn't recommend it because Endwalker comes all expansions regardless.
makes sense
not recommended to buy this
Obvious “been gone” question: if I do a Kojin beast tribe quest, which says 60 but syncs to your current level, on a level 80 job - does it sync up, or is 60 the cap?
only the duties will sync your level temporarily
70 is the cap for it but you can still get decent exp on it as an 80
Rewards cap at 70-appropriate.
69 is the cap
Gotcha, thanks all! 😘
im trying to get cc border pvp rewards, but it keep saying this even tho my inventory 10 spaces slots
It's a currency
Trophy Crystals go into your currency tab
Currency is an "inventory" even though they changed it a long time ago
(they just take up hidden slots)
Nope :/
You have to let the deranking from between seasons to bring you down to bronze
Just wait and continue to downgrade
AKA don’t win games
Git bad lol
Or play tbh
IMHO they should give you from bronze up to whatever rank you hit but maybe they'll take that as feedback
yeah they should
shoulda just stayed bronze 😈
I keep forgetting that adventurer plates even exist

does anyone use Windows+shift+S to take screenshots in ff14?
if so anyone has the issue where the screen snip screen just doesnt show up until you try to tab out?
Yes and no
i use lightshot for screenshotting
i use ShareX for screenshots, never bother with any ingame screenshot feature for any game
and i can quickly crop a section of the image that way
its not an in game feature
its windows tool
outside of ff14 it works like its supposed to
but when im playing ff14 my screen snip doesnt show up
i said i dont use the ingame screenshot feature, reread what i said
Chill.
taking screenshots in the game is an ingame feature not a windows tool
Are you in fullscreen, windowed, borderless windowed....?
borderless windowed
Hm. Have you tried simply regular windowed?
I also use the snipping tool sometimes, but I do not use the keyboard shortcut to access it. I use the application directly. However, I did just test the keyboard shortcut and the overlay showed up just fine, and I'm in Windowed mode.
let me try
doesnt work either
until i tab
actually doesnt work properly in any of them
Odd.
snipping tool. and the print screen button for me
hmm
I might recommend just having the Snipping tool open instead of using the shortcut
is there a way to change FC people's name colors
Couldn't tell ya. I'd have to be able to replicate the issue myself, and I can't seem to do so.
I will look as soon as I get out of Lahabrea's Edgy Monologue #1
that doesnt work either
however, my initial suspicion is there is not
plugins let you set your fc tag to a specific color
without plugins

@robust crow After checking, no there is not.
can i queue for the palace of the dead without interacting with that npc
no
where are fates for lv 1-16
Lots of the starting zones have them
To use Limsa as an example, Middle La Noscea, Lower La Noscea, and Western La Noscea
odd
i dont need to tab either, i just need to click something from a menu and it shows up
youre going to have to search around, since the level of FATE will be approximately the level of the mobs that spawn there
if there are lv 59 monsters in an area, you bet your butt the FATEs that spawn there are lv59
Is pentamelded gear necessary for non-current savage/ultimate content?
No
no
Only the i580 crafted gear can be pentamelded, which as a whole is outclassed by i600 gear
(Besides small exceptions due to BiS stats)
not what they asked wynne :)
ultimately its not necessary
and ultimate has ilvl sync
found the issue
Geforce Experience was messing with my game and uninstalling it fixed the issue
Anyone know roughly the ideal crafter stats for doing the endgame crafts? Or do they vary across gear, food, etc
Interesting. I will keep that in mind for future use.
It depends on how little HQ materials you want to use, for the most part.
https://guides.ffxivteamcraft.com/guide/crafting-melding-guide
without a doubt
maybe just get rid of the overlay
but i uninstalled completely
i dont exactly need it
i only ever clipped something with it once for Sekiro
Hi was wondering if subscriptions stack? I tried renewing my sub with my credit card but it's still pending so I bought crysta to renew my sub right away but now I'm wondering what will happen with the charge on my card when it does go through?
what is the price increase for dc hoping? is it the 5% like world hoping?
unless you buy directly you have to wait for your currently paid for time to end before it bills you
so if your card is still on file it will probably default to that
icic thank you!
World transfer is world transfer
i mean for marketboard fees, since im in crystal and went from mateus to balmung it would be 5% extra charge, but is it the same or more if i go from crystal to aether?
Whatever the tax is on that market on that world afaik
There’s no extra taxes for visitors
hello, ive been trying to queue for thornmarch hard as a tank for 20 minutes now and there hasnt been any parties yet, is this normal? (as part of the Main Story)
What datacenter/world are you on?
What data center are you on? Depending on the time of day, full party content can take a while longer to queue for.
!faq dflanguage
This is also relevant if you’re on EU/JP worlds
im on aether(gilgamesh) and my role is tank if that helps
is it just a lower populated datacenter?
if I have to wait a long time I also switch to off job and level it, I have 3 jobs I level 1 of witch is weaver
Check your language options in the duty finder
my language is just E
Might just be slightly early? Not sure what the usual busy hours on NA servers are.
Then you just have to wait
It’s 2 pm pacific time rn.
And yeah, probably just a temporary shortage of healers queuing for trial roulette.
So yeah not a busy time of day, typically.
I would help you in a bit if you still need help. I have a character on aether
im gonna take a break for a bit and come back to try again, maybe more people will be on later
Yeah, peak hours will generally be during evenings.

Please be aware that FFXIV is a subscription-based game, and after purchasing the game you must pay for each month of play. There is no way to return to being a Free Trial player after you have registered a purchased copy of the game to your account; you must pay to log in and continue playing.
PC users: make sure to buy the game on your preferred store (Steam vs. Square Enix Store). Purchasing the game on Steam locks you into using Steam for all future expansion purchases, and similarly purchasing it via Square Enix Store or any other non-Steam retailer locks you out of ever using Steam to play FFXIV. After your game code has been registered to your FFXIV account, this decision can never be changed.
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition:
AKA the ''base game.'' Gives access to A Realm Reborn and Heavensward. This is the same content that you can play during the Free Trial, but with the Free Trial restrictions on social interactions, trading, PvP etc. lifted. Comes with 30 days of subscription time.
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker:
Gives access to Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and the latest expansion, Endwalker. Does not include any bonus subscription time.
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition:
Combines all of the above into a single purchase (including the 30 days of subscription time). This cannot be used if you have already registered the Starter Edition.
^
if you have nothing then go with complete
you can treat starter as 5 bucks to lift restrictions + your first 30 days of sub
You will get 30 days free if you go for starter or complete anyway
Imo if you’re just gonna buy starter and not the expansions along with it, you don’t really have a reason to go off trial
Trading for materia and crafting stuff, and all the social features if those are important to you
nobody uses trading
Market board is the right term I think?
extremely uncommon to trade directly with players, people just use the mb
Yeh, didn't mean direct
But it won't matter anyway your restrictions will be lifted regardless because you have to own starter edition before anything else
The specific case is that you want these features before getting deep into the msq
Which isn't common, but the social aspects can be appealing to some
And the ARR relic is a grind without marketboard
Can you appear offline?
Not really
you can't go invis to people no
Sad
Reason: Please be civil and use this channel for questions or helping only, its not the place for silliness
Ty
when does sub end? hour I mean
Sub end?
Exactly 30 days from when it started
Oh yeah
down to the hour?
yea
Oh crap
Not at this time
A few questions! How many Clear Prism are needed to craft a Glamour Prism and in which crafting site can I do that?
But its recommended to do it relatively soonish in CASE it goes away
Oof
Can you not buy them off the market board? Or are you free trial
Well I hope it is till 6.2 drops, cause my sub runs out like, in a few hours and I don't have the title yet
Garo lasted for years the last time it happened
You have time
I am not, but I heard its not worth it buying it from there and im still relatively new to the game so idk if i can afford that
or have the option
Its cheaper to buy it
Than to craft it
You can also use company seals to get them
I did that for a while
I hate saying this but it'll be a waste of time crafting glam prisms
how do you access the market?
Marketboards in limsa are the closest
does mogstation have a rotating stock of items that never return once their run is over?
No
No all permanent
The devs hate FOMO, they would never add that
Silly question time.
Just ask it
This tier's raids were unlocked for gear, does that also include pages?
yes
Pog
New books indeed as well as new crafted gear
I honestly don’t expect GARO to end until 7.0 at minimum
The first time it ran, it was from patch 3.5 to 5.1
So new raid gear, new books, new crafted gear
What the, jesus christ
I knew it was a long time
So you don't really have to worry
Thats why there's no end date
They also gave us a 6 month notice on the end date
also, for each 10 level increment (excluding 80/90) is the respective strongest set purchasable with tomes the best/most efficient option?
Yes
i heard it is catchup
Poetics gear
cool ty
80 has Cryptlurker as poetics gear
Poetics isn’t a thing for 90
THREE Y E A R S
It is quite literally the best gear for that expansion
And lvl 90 best in slot is a mix of savage and augmented tome gear
so ig i don't really have to do anything time consuming regarding gear until the latest expansion
Technically speaking yes
my cap is 60 anyways atm, but good to know
Depends on what you mean regarding “time consuming”
well, tomes certainly aren't time consuming, and they're cheap. but i was thinking something along the lines of completing dungeons for gear drops or having to craft/buy at exuberant prices
yeah you do that sorta at end-game where there's a more involved grind
yep thought so
^ ahem
but it is good they just cut down the actual amount of work from every 10 levels to get maxed out gear
so yeah i see where ur coming from
it is quite nice
yeah, i saw this, it reaffirmed by thoughts
even then unless its week 1 of a tier, gear doesnt cost a lot of money
ffxiv wants you playing the game for the most part
yeah, i just didn't think they'd be this generous, coming from other games
regarding our time
thats ffxiv's motto ye
Yeah, a full set of crafted i580 gear is like, 400-500k at this point.
ehh not even
Is that good or bad?
seems good
Very affordable
msq gives you like 3 mil by lvl 90
Week 1 prices are usually 100k+ per item
ah, I'm still working my way through ARR
the average price will be coming down even further with DC visit since you're not restricted to the most popular world for prices now
I was thinking of coming back to the game and saw that Endwalker is on sale on Steam, but I don't have the steam version, just the version via mogstation, do I have to get Endwalker thru mogstation at full price?
same. and i keep hitting the gil cap, a testament to the relative ease of accumulation
yes
though not much to spend it on
it can be any third party storefront, as long as it is not steam
are you on free trial
Steam only distributes steam keys
and what indy said
not on free trial, i have all the expansions, sans endwalker, via mogstation
have to buy from mogstation or 3rd party that gives non steam keys
So my friend wanted to play ff14, so he bought the starter edition on a European steam account, then he clicked "play" and the option to make a square enix account was in the launcher so he made one, but the problem is that account that he made was a US account so after that, it asked him to put the registration key of he game and when he did, it said this "The code's region is inapplicable.
You can only enter codes from the same region as your Square Enix account."
So we tried to unlink the account from the Square Enix site but everytime, he starts the game on steam, the launcher is automatically locked to the account that was already made/linked. Is there a way ? To fix any of this mess ?
I am currently doing the Namazu beast tribe quest as a fisher, and I noticed the crates lying around - I assume they are for the crafters to get their crafting mats.
Do these crates also exist for ARR/HW beast tribe quests?
contact SE support
Ixal and moogle, are only for crafters
yes
nice, thank you! time to level my goldsmithy there
hmm, so your retainer job/level is determined by your level in that job?
it's max level.
guess that's a good excuse to finally level my crafting jobs 
you can't have crafting retainers
you can't make a crafting retainer
or gathering rather
yeah gathering works
heard botanist is a good one for retainers
though I'm still not clear on what they do other than bring random items to you
They're both your bank and auto-gathering system
specific retainers, based on their job, will give you stuff specific to that job
botanists can gathere specific node materials passively over an hour
Combat, Miner, Botany, Fisher
Combat retainers get mob drops for you
i use my miner retainer to get some spring water for potion crafting to save on time and costs
yeah combat retainer is absolutely pogged out for culinarian since many recipes need mob drops
Skins can also be good for selling
What's the macro shortening name for Lancer?
should be LNC
check the exp bar for short names of classes/jobs
thanks
Will also be the default on gearsets
Whats the difference between the faerie summons?
Nothing, pick the one you think is prettier
:l literally?
The correct answer is always Eos
I see
Are leves good for making gil fast?
I'm trying to figure out the differences between weddings and details but the wording on the site is a bit confusing. do partners need to buy their own for themselves?
Not as great as they used to be
All the good Endwalker ones make 10k or so with HQ stuff
Main thing is finding the cheapest one for you
is joining a free company easy because i submitted a application to one but im afraid they will decline it
Yes they both need to purchase the same wedding package. Or it can also be giftedEach one has different outfits, music, and displays.
How do I get the Heavensward Relic Weapons for Dark Knight? I just got Deathbringer, what shop/questline gives the other three (Nothung, Guillotine of the Tyrant, and Cronus)
Yeah, I know that part. so you purchase wedding packages, and then it seems like you take a quest somewhere?
how does it recognise you as together?
You accept the quest as a party of 2
East Shroud x:17.5 y:18.2
that explains it, thanks
Np!
oh yeah, at which point do you actually have to schedule the wedding?
Near the end of the quest
cant find Rowena's Representative in isgard for good gear using allagan poetics. Do i need to finsih msq or something?
yup
if they're not where they should be, msq
The sundry splendors always need that expansions main story done
If you want to spend poetics before beating 3.0, go to idyllshire
it’s kind of a peach color, but could you show more of the image for reference?
we do have a variety of reds
oh hey I recognise that image
and this is definitely from ff14? Or are you just looking for a color that kinda matches that
hair colour as close to that
Hair color can actually change with the picked hairstyle. Very hard to judge.
This is true, the braids are usually darker for some reason
Probably best off just eyeballin' it alisae
You're gonna have to look back and forth at that image and the character creator to look and see what looks best
You can change the hair color later granted you unlock Jandeliane later
I can't spell his name
Don't forget lighting, this game has various lighting across zones that will change the color of the pixel displayed on your monitor
thankfully the character creator background changes let you see shit in different lighting
This game is really generous with its color range anyway
does anyone know when i will get the command over my own little legion...this feature where you can send out a troop and hire new members
2nd lieutenant in the GC
Which is easy to get
Bottom left
You have 4 ranks left
I think
Kinda hard to look at storm and flame at the same time
Yeah they have to rank up 4 times
especially because flame is better
Basically you rank up until the officer tells you that you cannot rank up anymore
Is there any way to make the hotbars numbers go away?
Settings
got it ty
Bringing a lopsided ilvl gear set (one high level, the rest low level) into higher level content is a terrible idea right? It'll let you in, but you'll end up nerfed into oblivion by the sync?
Any gear scaling is determined by the average ilvl of your gear
But syncing is on a slot to slot basis?
The low level gear will still be low level, so if it ends up killing you that’s your fault
Suppose you have an ilvl 10,000 piece of gear and an ilvl 100 piece of gear and the content is ilvl 120-synced. Your 10,000 will get synced down to 120. Your 100 will still be 100.
So no matter what, the strategy is wear the better gear
You don't get put into a "more forgiving bracket" for bringing lower gear
So with this technique, you could theoretically get a lower ilvl average in practice then the required minimum
If a dungeon requires a ilvl 100 average, and you go in with level 10 gear+ a 1000 in a slot, you'd end up with way lower stats.
If you really like pain for some reason.
I mean, I'm not sure - that doesn't sound quite right, but I can't think of a purpose where it would make a difference - at the end of the day you still want the better gear
Maybe someone else who knows the technicalities better can say
I guess if you are running old content, and think the min ilvl is too high
We answered the question, so there’s nothing more to say
For context, I have a materia farming set with low level gear, and had a high level weapon equipped. Wanted to make sure I wouldn't ruin a groups game by being useless by mistake.
^ and that was explained here
is duty finder across data centers now?
does anyone know how to fix the lobby connection 2002 error?
No
Duty finder is still on a per data center basis. Does not cross. You can travel to another within your region however.
Short version is: we can't. 2002 is a lobby server error - meaning something going wrong either entirely on SE's end, or between you and the servers.
As I recall more specifically, it's the error that occurs when the connection is lost when your system is querying the server. It pings back every so often, and when your system doesn't get a ping, it 2002s
It was very common in early EW, but the primary cause then was some spaghetti code dating all the way back to 1.0.
what's EW btw?
Endwalker, the current expansion.
oh right
yeah im just a little confused because the queues shouldnt be a problem since there's no event iirc and that there's the free login event is over
and my brother who merely lives 5km away had zero issues and my internet is fine too
2002 isn't about queues.
It's (for lack of a better term) a glitch in the matrix
The best you can do is wait a little while - maybe 15-30 minutes - and try again.
i don't think this lengthy explanation is necessary
the answer is we don't know
probably a routing issue
materia had issues earlier today
wait a bit, maybe try a vpn see if that helps
the worst part is that it started happening since last night for me and still fix til now
yeah im in materia, probably got to do with floods maybe
you could also try a vpn that sends you down a different route, there were some imfrastructure issues weren't there?
yeah somewhat
yeah that's proooobably it
but there's still internet and the connection is fine with other games, so idk if ff14 should be having problems though
can't do anything about that until its resolved
routing is fucky with this game
haha i suppose so
yeah i'll try and see what i can do with a vpn perhaps
just gotta wait it out and maybe pray a vpn helps
the problem is that im absolutely addicted to this game so waiting is torture
felt
Likely never will be

Ppl theorise damage to the isp infrastructure used by the servers themselves
are there other lootboxes other than zadnor for bozja?
just the bozjan southern front ones from bozja southern front
zad ones come from zad, obviously.
what are the 'bunny' fates? i heard they're botted badly arm
atm*
They've been badly botted since SB. They're a pagos and pyros thing (and I think hydatos too..?). They can rarely give good treasure at the end for gil
But most of the time it's not really worth it
ohh eureka
there's a new deep dungeon?
Death rolling with fellow idiots in limsa for gil is kind of loot boxes
you do the fate then a bunny follows you and leads you to a geographic location taht will contain a chest
6.35
usually with rare items and a large sum of gil
There will be
oh sure but that won't affect botting now right
are they like... gathering things and waiting to open them?
Clear bunny fate, get bunny companion and item. When you use item it's basically hot or cold, "you sense something far to the northeast"
Escort bunny to destination, get chest
Chest has loot
Anyways that's pretty much every additional form of lootbox in the game
And none of them involve real money
The bot problem has gotten pretty bad tho for bunny fetes
i was trying to do an ast version of the whm aslyum, but this code isnt working, what am i doing wrong?
/ac Earthly Star <t>
/ac Earthly Star <t>
/ac Earthly Star <t>
/ac Earthly Star <t>
/ac Earthly Star <t>
/ac Earthly Star <t>
/ac Earthly Star <t>
/ac Earthly Star <t>
/ac Earthly Star <t>
/ac Earthly Star <t>
/micon Earthly Star```
@heavy wadi vpn fixed the problem, wish i did this last night
but thanks for the suggestion
Wrong
the whm version does that incase of latency issues
/ac "Earthly Star" <t>
Put the skill name in quotes
oh lol
you dont need the quotes for one-word skills, otherwise do that
I used to have one for salted earth
hmm i think this makes me instantly use it however
Isn’t that the point?
I think he means place and pop
i mean i want to wait for it to fully go thru
Having the repeating line, while good for preventing latency bug outs in the macro, is counterproductive for Earthly Star in particular because using it again triggers the explosion.
That is also a thing that happens, yes.
i will make it repeat less tho to be safe
It runs the input every frame
So if you use it in a single weave window you'll probably be fine
^
So after a malefic cast for example
are the balance and icyveins good resources for learning openers and rotations? I am trying to learn sam and monk, but looking at multiple vids are making my brain hurt a bit
That's for min maxing high end content
i would reccommend the balance over icyveins but ymmv
If you want to learn how a job works at a base level first: weskalber
would definitely look into balance for base rotatiosn too tbh
Some of the balance mentors made the guides on Icyveins
wesk is good but he's not perfect
So they should be the same as balance stuff
balance is generally more polished in terms of 'this is the good optimal rotation' without diving into minmaxxing
maybe except monks
What stats are important for dragoons?
Crit
crit > det => dh
alright thank you all, very helpful 
fixed
you basically want equal dh / det but prioritize crit if it's available
so if you literally can't put any more crit onto it, put in det or dh and make those values equal
drg doesn't want any sksp, maybe it goes to 2.4 but that's highly optimization and fight specific tbh
also feel free to ask around here or #beginner-lounge for sam stuff, i kinda one-trick it so i can offer a more beginner-friendly in-depth explanation of sam basics
glad it worked
am i able to send tells to someone on my friends list on a different dc or would i need to dc transfer first?
Pretty sure you need to transfer first
would need to dc xfer and be on their world
You can send tells to people in your DC but not across DC
Since forever I’ve seen people shoot and breathe fire with some mounts
How do I do this
Sounds like the Calvary Drake mount from the Amalj’aa beast tribe
some mounts have "mount actions"
only some though
they appear in your hotbar, you just use them
if the mount has one
there are a number of mounts that have mount abilities like that yeah
mount actions appear in the mounts list menu as well, if you want to see if any mounts you already have, have their own actions
When I get on the mount it dosent let me, it dosent even pull up the pet hotbar
I can't remember if it only has that in quests or not cuz some actions are like that
Can I purchase real estate yet in those new servers?
Nope
Okay Ty Ty. I'll consider moving when it's available
please rip my head off and punt it into the sun
It would be better than pvp
and P4S
Take a break, no use climbing MMR when you are tilted
Any one else have had my issue
Dude if you don’t have questions…
Hi guys, I'm new to this game. I want to play on the most popular NA server, but I have no idea which server is most popular
They're all full
Doesn’t matter, just pick one
doesn't matter
!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
Being on a big world doesn’t really mean much nowadays
Why is that?
because you can go to any data center
and your world specifically doesnt matter like at all
Very few things are exclusive to things on your world alone.
at you play with people from your data center even on other worlds
All worlds in a DC can play with eachother
only thing that matters for home world is the free companies on it basically
And you can visit other worlds and datacenters in your region with minor restrictions
parties and raid content is easily available by dc
and you can now even visit other dcs in your region
What about Aether, CRYSTAL and Primal, do they mean anything?
not really
Those are the dataceners.
Those are Data centers
Not anymore lmfao
Honestly aether and primal feel the same
Hey, now that I got Deathbringer (one of the DRK Relic weapons obtained through clan hunts), how do I get it to glow when unsheathed?
Relic
!faq anima
Outside of a few server-based specifics, datacenter means very little.
Aether I feel like has the least community aspect to it
This specific deathbringer cannot be augmented
In terms of player-run events and such
Although Crystal does still have the lowest Savage clear rate of all servers.
You're looking for the Anima Relic version
now though that's largely irrelevant since you can just visit other DCs
Oof
Well I was thinking of going for Nothung during the Anima weapon questline instead lol
You can buy copies of the relic weapons later on
Gotcha
I also had another question. I have a friend who is also in the Aether data center with me, but they made their character in Siren whereas my character is in Jenova, is it still possible for us to play together?
yep
just visit over to them
could have done that since you started
!faq worldvisit
When you swap your armor, do you have to reapply your glamour?
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
do you use ACT?
Make a glam plate
Yes, but you can attach a glamour plate to a gear set.
ye, but you can make a glamour plate to re-apply it for free
They're playing the full version of the game whereas I'm still on free trial, is that feature still available to me?
