Okay but they were asking about NA ping guys, and pinging chaos would still yield similar results
hmm, we need mods to change that command
lmao
and the Chaos DC change to 80.239.145.6 as well
NA to EU or vice versa can get a little sluggish at times but it’s not unmanageable. I know a lot of people in EU who play on NA servers.
what happens when I open asphodelos jewellery coffer on DoL?
You can’t
you get an error when trying to open it
Nothing. It doesn’t work on non-combat jobs.
got it, ty
If there’s nothing your current job can get from a coffer, nothing happens
that's average waiting time
yeah, just not belong in the same FC
ah yeah can't buy houses on another server as well
But people from other worlds on the same data center can still visit your house and vice versa.
Good luck with that pal
Then you should probably roll on one of the new servers lol
I don't think RNGesus minds.
No
The game warned you before letting you confirm
wonder what alt+f4 does
As for wait time, fastest I’ve had was around 15 minutes to Primal and back to Aether.
jesus
Nothing, surprisingly.
Wait times will surely go down as the hype around Datacenter visiting calms and people stop treating it as a visit to the zoo.
i thought it'd like, break your shit
Actually it targets party member 4
That would have been test case 1 in qa
ye probably
Alt f[number] just acts like you pressed the button itself, found out on accident one day
im good it just took 30 seconds
eu is kinda dead on morning
ah glad to know
😅
I was wrong, maybe cause the frequency of complain I see here from people
ty!
So just so I'm double checking. Best ways of getting gc currency is the daily turn ins, level syncs, and the daily duty right?
expert delivery is the best hands down, anything that goves gear can go towards it
Right but I'm like two ranks away I think
ah
you finish the hunting log?
gc hunting log, fates, your levelling roulette should give some as well? iirc
Hunting logs no
do it lol
Leveling roulette tho thats new
grand company hunting log specifically, as that has a separate list
being the role in need when start the queue for levelling roulette reward considerable seals
scale with your level
Leveling dragoon rn and everything else is literally 1
well, dps is no good for that

Hi so my gear is level 599. I can't get 2 augmented rings. Am I missing something please?
yea dps unfortunately are very rarely in need lmao
you are not missing anything nope
Unique gear
I thought max level was 600
Always been a thing
only way to hit 600 atm is through savage
Ok ty
So after I level dragoon should I look into getting 1 tank 1 healer before 2nd dps?
Do whatever you want man
you could level literally everything if you felt like it
It's always nice to get a different perspective. More melee dps will probably feel pretty similar to Dragoon - at least for the first 50-60 levels.
And I'll always recommend leveling different roles to do the SHB / EW role quests.
you would need someone else to move it for you if you're trying to get it from one character to another on the same service account
you mean transfor your character or start a new one ?
Then by all means, join a new server.
Hey i know there is google but it doing a shit job at helping me but I'm a Oceania boi and I made a character on a Japanese data center where do i go to transfer
didn't SE gives a free transfor for light dc ?
i'm new like a week old player
Server transfers are still disabled, but normally you'd do that on the mogstation.
i would just make a new character on the OCE datacenter but that said, assuming you're not on free trial you would put in a world transfer request on mogstation
Yes, server transfers (from old servers) to new servers are free.
Hello, I've seen tanks keeping up the effect of Double Edgle L inside eureka, all the time during a fight with no downtime.
How is that possible? It should have a 48 second duration and then it should reset but they kept it at 16 stacks for 2 minutes.
but as rooster stated, its currently disabled right now
when it will be available if there's a date
for a noob like me got a link that could help me find that spot
!faq mogstation
then just scroll down the page to "games & additional services" section
Actually I was thinking, would it be beneficial, once transfers are back up, for a new player to make a character on an old server and then transfer over to a new one?
You'd still get all of the benefits but you get the gold chocobo feathers instead of the silver ones, I think.
if they haven't settled into an fc or anything, ya
but at the same time, would tbh be better to just remake (depending on how new)
because transferring doesnt net you the 1mil gil
might as well make a new character was only lvl 35 wasn't that long haha
Ah yeah, that's a good point. Will be helpful in getting money together for that house. 🙂
How long did it take for housing to open up on Materia?
Yeah, you'd mostly lose the MSQ progress you made so far. But I guess that's a good chance to start in a different region at least. 😄
I think when the lottery got implemented so 4 months since Materia online?
msq?
i wouldn't necessarily use materia as a rule of thumb just because they likely held off on opening it because of the changes to housing was so close
Main story quests.
iirc when they introduced twin/sprig it was like a month to two?
Ah, that does make sense. Yeah, wouldn't want to use the old system when the new one was that close.
Then the 3 million you need isn't that hard. Just keep selling your junk on the market board.
what dc are you delphi
you make quite a bit of money off just doing teh main quests
You'll probably have 1 mil just passively from doing the story up to HW, yeah.
there's a ton of guides on youtube
and if you start on a "new" server, you will get 1 mil when hitting level 30
no
you have to level a character to 30
no boosts as far as i know
if you boosted a job youll get 500k from it
30 is super quick though with the XP boost on a new server.
which is not cool
You'll be 30 before you even get to airship travel.
why not level to 30 then use the job boost on other job to get both
Do keep in mind though that the real timegate is story progression, not job level.
boosting is fine, but generally discouraged, if you haven't played the game before
because you will skip all the tutorials, explanations, systems, story, etc
and not know how jobs work, the rotations, etc
i dont recomend to buy a booster just enjoy your time
but if you really wanted it go ahead
seriously though, gil is not that hard to come by
And yeah, if it takes a month for housing to open up on the new servers, then you'll have more than enough time to not have to actively farm gil.
we've had people boost before, and then stop playing because they get frustrated as they dont understand anything and lose enjoyment of the game
Go to #860652505117753384 so people can tell what DC you’re on
Thank you people for the help
A few days ago.
you get a lot of money from just playing the story
ive got 7.5mil and i do no gil farming at all, and im not done with the story
you have a lot of time to farm gil
Yep, I've never actively farmed gil and I'm swimming in it regardless.
so yeah, just play the game enjoy the story, dont burn yourself out
suggest you play from level 1, dont boost, and learn the game if you're new to ff14, and money will come naturally for a small house, without too much effort
oh, and pick a "new" server for the bonuses
What’s the best way to do Gil farming?
find out what is most profitable on the marketboard, and sell that
And again, level doesn't matter. If you really want to get to endgame, you need a story progression skip.
depends on server
Gotcha I’m working on leveling my crafters rn
imo, no.
Hey @leaden ginkgo I was referring to you
uh no
oh okay! sorry
the story, if you want to skip all cutscenes, is the fastest way to level up AND get a ton of money
but, i want to stress this, ff14 is a Story MMO, a large chunk of the fun, is the story
to each their own, if you really want a house that urgently, no one's gonna stop you 😄
no no its fine I have a full month afterall
there is a lot of story, FYI 😄 enjoy!
awesome!
1 last question lol I'm sorry
can I start leveling as a healer right away?
or do I have to dps first...
Dungeon drops sell for Jack shit
Yes, if you want to. Just pick Conjurer as your starting job.
just keep in mind, the base game ARR (level 1-50), can be a bit slow on the story, but it gets awesome in heavensward (50-60)
I see xD
you can check market prices
You also can't sell most dungeon gear on the marketboard too
But you can start as any job and level a healer on the side when you get to level 10. (or when you reach level 15 in the story - still right in time for dungeons)
I wanna be a white mage
Then pick Conjurer as your starting job, yeah. You'll get to be a White Mage at level 30.
(level 20 main quest though which may take longer than level 30 conjurer 😄 )
on a new world as well, easy 35-40
Exactly.
but you are started in a new world, the bonus can not be turned off
so if i wanna do the whole story from arr to endwalker
how many classes can I level to max?
lol
all
With just the story quests you mean?
a single character, can level all classes (jobs later) to max level
yeah
awesome!
Easily 3 up to level 80 at least.
New server bonus goes up to 80, so Endwalker will slow things down a bit. You can do 2 from 80-90 I'd guess.
and the bonus will stay for the whole month right?
at least 90 days
3 months from character creation afaik
if the world remain New pass that point, you would still receive it
Have fun, and keep us updated! 😄
you would only keep the buff "road to 80" if the server is no longer new, IF you haven't had it for 90 days
if you have had the buff for over 90 days when the server gets changed OFF new status, you lose the buff immediately
we'll do xD I'm pretty sure I'll get lost and have more questions
the 90 days is minimum, maximum is whenever SE change the server status
I see
this does not apply for transferred characters to new servers
they only get 90 days, nothing more
all
DAMN
Materia is still New right?
can I do quests as a crafter? lol
I assume they level up differently
they have their own job quest
Main story can't be done by non-combat jobs.
I see
And yeah, crafters level mostly by, well, crafting.
Or by turning in crafted items.
yes
It's gone from "highly recommended" to merely "nice to have" after the ShB crafter rework, imo. Especially once you finish the HW quests and unlock the Firmament
I'll abuse the bonus!
But yes, enjoy the road to 80
server statuses here:
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/
Yeah, crafters and gatherers are pretty easily grindable even without double XP. I'd worry about combat jobs first. 😄
okay
do you use ACT or Teamcraft?
if so, close them
oh, ty havent thought about it, it works now
anyone knows why I suddenly dropped to silver rank in conflict?
i think i was diamond or close to whatever the rank cap is
what about new season rewards?
There's no new battle pass
f
It's still series 1
!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.
o
Season 2 rewards are the same, just the portrait has a number 2 instead of 1
eh so no point in doing conflict
Yo so I just started leveling with my friend we're both around level 22 and we are so confused about this whole job class situation? I want to start a mechanist but i have no idea if i still need to do these lancer quests? or can i just go straight to mechanist somewhere?
Job quests are flat mandatory
You have to reach heavenward
Machinist is an expansion job and unlocks in the first expansion
Or you're griefing your group
You need to get to heavensward, which means be lv50 and do alot of msq
In the mean time you'll be missing mandatory skills on your current job if you don't do job quests
Thus griefing your groups
Ok so I do all job quests as I get them? Then just normal MSQ until 50? Do i have the option to pick another job while i wait for mechanist to unlock?
And you will be kicked especially if you're still a Lancer above 30
Job quests are more important than msq
You can be literally everything on 1 character
After completing your level 10 class quest you unlock the ability to get other classes
I don't know if it's an appropriate question for this channel but... I'm almost done with 2.55 and I'm wondering if Papalymo will ever be relevant? Basically every Scion and most characters had at least a minimal bit of development while Papalymo has literally done nothing, if he wasn't in the game nothing would have changed
Yes he is
No we won’t say how he is before you ask
Do I need to finish lancer before i can go to another job? Or can i somehow drop it and pick up another one half way through?
You don't have to finish it
But again, if you're not doing the job quests you'll be missing skills
Really happy about that, thanks!
But if im not lancer anymore I wouldnt have those job quests anymore would I?
or am i both a lancer and whatever job i pick?
But the times you ARE that job you will be
I won't ask I don't wanna spoil myself 
If you're on that job, you need to do the job quests
Even if you intend to swap later
And again you need to reach HW for machinist , which requires LVL 50
Unless you're swapping right this second, and intend to never touch it again, then do the job quests
You change job by changing weapon. Like: you're lancer level 35 and unlock conjurer class, then you equip a conjurer weapon and now you're a conjurer level 10 or something. Equip any lancer weapon again and you're back to being a lvl 35 lancer
Do we know if Server Transfer service is back? :x Wasn't working yesterday Q.Q
Is there a lodestone post saying it's back?
No there isnt
So it's not back
They'll announce when it's back
So watch the lodestone
Did they mention it's suspend on Lodestone? Only posts are for the DC Travel system :x
Yes they did
It’s been disabled since last week for the reason stated back then “with the new servers, we want to make sure things are stable”
Things are obviously not stable
Oh o.o
It's all on there
Well a week is kinda recent
Can you buy FF14 and then play for free or can you not play at all until you get a subscription
!faq freetrial
Buying and playing for free are mutually exclusive
You’re not forced but like if you want to play, you gotta pay
yeah got it cheers
Isnt home world transfer suppose to be back up? Is there any updates on that issue?
They'll enable it when the servers are stable again. Which they aren't yet.
There is no issues with home world transfers themselves. That system is offline until SE feels the Data Center travel feature is stable.
They announced that this was what they'd be doing before taking DC travel live.
are online store 'gift a friend' codes region locked or can they be used by anyone globally?
global
Hello, I have a small question, can you log in (not at the same time) on your FFXIV account on two different computers/places? I was getting FFXIV on my laptop (same house as when I log in my PC) and I got a log in restriction, am I going to get it every time?
You can, but your account will be flagged every time if you don't have an authenticator.
if you're going to use 2 different computers/login 2 different places you should add an authenticator to your account
so you don't have to deal with your account being flagged every time
Thanks, where can I get the authenticator?
can add pretty much download any authenticator app to add to your account, or use SE's app or buy a physical one from SE
i personally use google authenticator
Thank you, I'll check it ^^
hi guys, i'm new to the game and wanted to try it out, and this happened 4 times already
i did some googling, i found 6 years old posts about it suggesting many things, i've tried the simplest ones so far (turning off antivirus etc) and nothing worked
before setting up a vpn (which was another solution suggested) i wanted to know if in these 6 years anyone found a better solution
or if Square did something about since as far as i could see it's a pretty common issue
Hey, does anyone know where I can find my support ticket so I can respond to it ? Oo
Does the Emmannellain hair have a female version?

hmmm will i then be stuck with that launcher later or can i just then run the normal game launcher and locate the files? i don't know if i will purchase the game after the free trial but if that will be the case i wouldn't like being banned for breaking the TOS
You can use the standard launcher if you wish. You won't be banned for using the quicklauncher. A lot of people use it for a variety of reasons. Like any other third party mod, it's "don't ask, don't tell"
As long as you're not harassing people with it, or talking about it in game, SE has no way of knowing that you're using it.
i understand... i guess i'll try but i'm confused about why in all the years that this issue existed SE hasn't done anything about it yet
anyways i'm doing a last attempt after changing the dns server, if it fails again i'll use the quicklauncher
Without knowing exactly what the error codes mean, it's hard for us (the players) to speculate as to why SE hasn't patched whatever causes them.
Does anyone know an answer to this ? :>
Where could I get some super THICK tank armor glam?
I know the perfect glam for that ! Try out the Heavy Wolfram Cuirass, can buy that on the MB and even on an NPC that sells armor.
Its lvl 50 stuff ;P
Extra T H I C C
ok i tried and damn it's going like 6 times faster than the official client
i already like it
are you meant to use every skill? i have way too many for my hotbar
Almost every skill are meant to be used
there are exceptions such as :
- sleep/repose, only used during some job quests, is pointless in normal content except deep dungeons,
- Leg/foot graze, same as sleep
Is this game worth it?
i mean, anyone would say yes, you're in a FFXIV discord server with players liking the game
it's entirely up to you to know if it's worth your time and effort by trying it out via the free trial 
Depends - what are you looking to get out of a game?
how do I add materia to gear?
Either have a crafter at high enough level to meld it yourself, or speak to a Materia Melder NPC in one of the main city markets.
anyime i talk to them they tell me to talk to the dude in cenral thanalan
okay gotcha
it has to be "meldable" gear, you need to right click on the item you wanna meld click "meld" select the materia you wanna put in, and they'll tell you the probability to meld it
and yeah, go to central thanalan for a blue quest that teach you how to meld & advanced melding
Do note, also, that only gear with materia slots can be melded, and only crafted gear can be overmelded, which can only be done by a player.
is there any place to buy a tier one materia?
The marketboard
else it's from spiritbond extraction
is there a way to reset the ingame settings because I entered manual resolution and now I can't get the window mode to show because it just minimizes to a point I can't see it and just defaults to how it was before so I can't move the game to the other monitor
There should be a reset to default button
I tried hitting the default button which said would reset everything but didn't after that its the same after switching the window mode I don't see it and it seems to just revert after a few seconds
can i do the msq with my mate? we just boarded the airship does the msq link up at any point? if not how do we quest together
once you've gotten airship access, the msq coalesces into 1 at that point, so you could continue with your friend
If you just got on the airships, you're close to the MSQ merge point
the thing to keep in mind though is there are going to be certain points where you have to do a solo duty and will need to break party
How will we know when it merges up?
The quest name where everything joins up is "It's Probably Pirates"
you're a legend
we're at the quest and we need to enter a dungoen do we just enter with party of other players or can we do me and him and 2 npcs?
Party then que
You can't go in with npcs in a group
It's solo or group only
No mixing
what's recommended just soloing it then regrouping? wait time is 6mins, yuck
you're gonna need to get used to waiting anyways
if you're dps get used to it
6 minutes is not long
If you're both dps then que is around 10-15mins
On average
Healer/tanks get basically instant ques if any are in the party
are the amount of aether currents on older expansions reduced ?
ok makes sense then, thanks
Does this game work on windows 11 I been thinking of upgrading 10
technical yes, but iirc its not supported yet, though @still gate might know better
I believe it works fine, but I haven't tried 11 myself yet, it has no benefits for me
Lmao
Windows 11 is fully supported
I've had no real issues
If i use ast buff on a healer or tank does the buff work or is it pointless doing that?
Why wouldn't it work
yes, they get the dmg buff just like dps do
Cool
Increases damage dealt by a party member or self by 6% if target is melee DPS or tank, or 3% for all other roles.
Duration: 15s Additional Effect: Grants a Solar Sign when used in combat
Only one arcanum effect can be applied to a target at a time.

6% if melee or tank
Good to know, been a player for a while finally had the courage to heal. I dont want to look dumb out here
If I buy the full game while having the free trial installed on steam, will the full game be full updated next time I start the installer?
You get a code
Which you put into mogstation to upgrade
It must be brought via steam since you're on steam
I see
you mean the website right
!faq mogstation
yeah, you log into your account you made on steam for mogstation and put in the code there
code is available from your library via right-clicking on xiv
for both the main game + expansion?
Yes
correct
thanks guys
I wanted to play the maximum out of the free trial but I'm going to take that sale that's happening right now
wasn't the new season of PvP meant to come out with patch 6.18?
i still have the old series chart
season is for ranked, the malm series is not a season
Series =//= season
new malmstone series starts with 6.2

Does data center travel mean i can now get roulette queues while in Aether with Primal datacenter?
you have to go to the data center first which takes a while
you can queue the df of a different dc if you travel there first
but df is separate otherwise
Ah okay I been having isssuws with the boot error and wounder if that would fix my issue
Cross dc matchmaking is likely on the "never gonna happen" list
that would probably cause the matchmaking server to blow up, lol
managing potentially the load of 3 DCs in one
then connecting those people to a single instance
would require quite a bit of work and changes, if its even possible
do pets serve any use ?
mb, minions
i just got the puff of darkness is it rare ?
no
dang xD
24man minions always drop
The Savage second coil of Bahamut is just for the title/achievement right? There is no story cutscenes etc?

After the msq, how do people level up alternative jobs?

Hello, I have a serious (at least it is serious to me) question, I want to buy FF14 game from steam, I live in Europe and I want to play on NA servers with friends. Anyone here bought the game from steam living in EU or some other region (not Americas) and could play it? Also how about subscriptions since I read that I can't use my Mastercard to buy subscriptions because I have euros and not dollars in it.
You can play on any datacenter, regardless of your game account region.
Why you can't paid sub with mastercard, that sound bullshit
The version of the game you purchase needs to match your Mogstation account region anyways, as sub time will be related to that region as well.
Example: My account region is NA, but I have characters on EU, JP, and OCE servers.
yes that sounds to me too, i had bought things in different currencies around the world and bank automatically converts
Since you bought steam version, you can pay with steam wallet, that 100% accept mastercard
Back to the account, are you currently have a free trial one?
Really the only concern is what region your Mogstation account is registered under. Steam pulls your region information from your registration on Steam, so as long as you're registered as an EU user on Steam, and an EU user on Mogstation, you shouldn't have any issues.
do you mean this?
yes
no, i didnt start to play at all, i just want to figure everything before buying
i would suggest trying the free trial first
so you know you actually enjoy the game before paying for anything
Is there a cooldown after I DC travel my character? I can switch back after logging out back to my character screen?
i dont want to play on eu, i want to play on NA, mogstation is NA. So is it possible then change your seam region
you would have to make a new account
your account can be EU (easier for billing) and still play on NA
There's no cd on world travel, so afaik should be the same for dc travel. just have to deal with potential queue when travelling back
you sure that works?
Your account region doesn't have any gameplay effect
It's only for billing and paying for stuff
you bought it from steam too?
That doesn't matter
standalone but it doesnt matter
Does crafting the egg for the exp bonus increase the exp gain if you make a superior version of it?
ty!
new steam account?
a new mogstation account
oh you meant changing steam region
i don't think it is, but im not 100% sure on steam
Can he use the current SE account to play FF14 or it needs to be new one cus his account is probably the general SE account
i just bought and it says The code's region is inapplicable. ._.
Because your Steam account region doesn't match your Mogstation account region.
yeah i said that but ppl said it doesnt matter
Nobody said that here.
is it possible to change steam region
I don't believe so?
There is a way to unlink your Mogstation from Steam (so you can link to a different Mogstation account), but you'd effectively be starting from scratch if you did that.
He didn't even start yet, no free trial
Oh, in that case I would go that route.
Unlink Mogstation from Steam, make a new Mogstation account with EU region, and link your Steam to that.
Since you have no progress in the game yet, that's going to be the easiest fix, I think.
but i dont want to play on eu
Then just don't pick eu
Again, you won't have to.
When making a character
Just pick an NA datacenter when you do character creation.
That's it.
I mentioned that my account region is NA, but I have characters on all regional datacenters.
Again
your account region for your mogstation account does not affect which datacenter you can play on
you can have an EU account and play on NA datacenters
Datacenter regions are just a formality for easy timezone grouping and server proximity.
NA datacenters are physically located in California, EU in... Germany?, JP in Tokyo, and OCE in Australia.
That's literally it.
Seriously though, you really should make a free trial account, with its region matching steam, try out to understand what we saying then buy the steam license
He's already bought the game on Steam
Guess we will see him a lots in upcoming day asking about the game
A Steam account linked to a Square Enix account is required to use this function.
Please launch the FINAL FANTASY XIV game client via Steam to link your Steam account to a Square Enix account.
now im getting error
When you launch it through steam?
I mean, are you getting it when you're launching it off steam or you trying to just use the boot
Try to enter the code in mogstation and see if that works better

Ah interesting
Is there a guild section in this discord for people to post there guilds for recruitment
you need to select your DC role first
There’s a recruitment channel for DCs but that requires you to have a role
so you can actually see it
Not sure what that is I’m Canadian I looked at them but no idea what crysta@or caose
it's where you play
did you choose your data center?
your data center you play on

any
Any
any of the NA DCs
any na server
they are located in the same place
pick the one that looks cool and is open
im now at this
how do i pick NA servers to play
Are the dlc shorter than a realm reborn?
dont think so
Quest wise yes
considering its 50 levels and 80 post quests, more or less yes
Ah i was just wondering since i just finished the first part of heavensward and it felt shortish
First part as in what? You beat 3.0, or the first zone?
ARR is about... I'd say 30-40%-ish? longer than the expansions are.
Maybe a bit less since the content pruning they did back in 5.3
Idk i just got to the post of heavensward
With tons of cutscences in post HW, you won't feel it shorter than the cursed 80 post ARR quests
"The post of Heavensward"... you're going to have to be a little more clear. Do you mean the time when "HEAVENSWARD" appears on your screen?
Because that's... the beginning of Heavensward, not the end.
Nah lol the missions after the credits
did you get a 2nd mount already from the msq?
Ah okay, so you just finished 3.0
you get 2 mounts from hw
Ah yea
ok then you're in post heavensward
red mage doesnt have a garo weapon right?
nope
ty
on arr and hw jobs do
But yes, quest-wise there are about 30-40% fewer quests in expansion MSQs than in ARR MSQ.
ARR not only covers 50 levels, but also takes up a lot of time developing the world for you. Subsequent expansions only have to really develop the new parts of the world, not the entire thing.
Damn did I just miss the series of post maint ShB S-ranks or are they actually usually staggered?
Are you in a hunt discord for your server/datacenter?
Yeah but its usually chance when I see the post-maint marathon because I never paid attention to how it spawns
you can likely get notification roles
and whether I should get up or stay put
I mean, maintenance was two days ago, so you've well missed them by now for sure.
^ maintenance already happened a while ago
But typically they do all respawn more or less as soon as the servers are back up, with the exception of special hunts like Chi, Dave, Ixion, etc.
S ranks are manually spawned
Oh that's true. It's A ranks that are up right away.
There was an A rank in the middle of the way in labyrinthos for me when ew released
Regardless, if you want to know when S-rank trains are going, and if Aether is anything like Primal, it's useful to join the Faloop discords - both the general one and the one specifically for Aether.
oh okay! Most are 24? I just saw I missed a series of ShB S ranks so I thought there was a 30+ hour window or marathon that I missed but maybe this is the 2nd spawn just naturally drifting a bit
On Primal's hunt discord there are trains four or five times per day, most days.
How would I go about making or acquiring choral attire augmentation?
S ranks are rng at the end of the day
By levelling crafters
And how does one start that?
My Triceratops may stay a dream :(
S ranks are rng except when people specifically go and force the spawns by killing the relevant mobs.
Go to alchemist guild in Uldah, become an alchemist
yeah maybe i'll learn to spawn
Seriously, join the hunt discord for Aether at the very least.
Join trains whenever you can.
Or a linkshell
sure yeah I was just in a CWLS or I think 2 now
I’ve seen some high end raid videos with people that set vfx to all is there a reason for that
Because they're insane
preference
Seems kinda counter intuitive given that they can block aoe indicators
Especially holy
There are a handful of boss mechanics which are included with player VFX as well, so it can be useful to keep them on if you can tune out the player stuff.
probably just trying to rave 
One example is the visual flash of Hydaelyn's Blessing in Praetorium.
Isn’t there dialogue to tell you when it goes up as well
So mostly preference but sometimes useful
So if you turn "other players" off, it doesn't show.
Yes, mostly preference with occasional usefulness.

What are the best recipes to grind to lvl alchemist really early. Lvl 14
Is Huraijin ever worth using, unless you botch the the huton pre-fight set-up?
If boss is untargetable for a long time
So it's a failsafe. Kinda lame for level 60 ability 
It's the "I died" button
If the boss is gone for a long time you can either armour crush before it goes to max or Huton during the downtime
Fair
I have a question, someone who got starter edition, why isnt HW the main menu ?
you can change the menu
you can
Not on trial
Its starter edition not free trial
you can change the menu screen
and you also bought starter
heavensward is just included
Im saying there isnt an option
there literally is
That can’t be right then, the title screen is automatically the highest expansion you have. Ergo: HW
is this your title screen
Did you restart game?
thank you so much for this, now i already can play on NA server, didnt make character yet
also got another question, my game is in windowed mode and i cant find options to change it into full screen, maybe there is some keyboard command
cuz im in character creation
should be able to do it in character creation
Is there a system menu in the character creation screen? I can't recall. It's been awhile since I made a new character.
there's a cogwheel down the the bottom right
Oh. Then you can do it from that @hardy owl
took a year break and got a bunch of junk ig in my inventory, what do i throw out lmao
ohh yes there is in character creation i was looking for it before i clicked to create character xD
... Yes
do i keep some stuff ? lmao
anything that says "Shop Selling Price: X" you can easily discard
Anything you don't want to keep you can discard.
Well first off lower the quality of all the monster drops
Or sell on the MB or to an NPC vendor.
Since hq monster drops were functionally removed
probably just chuck the glamour prism, dispellers, and dyes into your chocobo inventory
And there's no benfit
Ditch the potions and faded orchestrion rolls
Can probably ditch the dark matter too
Use the triple triad card or sell it in the gold saucer(or Battle Hall which can be accessed via duty finder)
What classifies as lower quality mob drops
the ones without the shiny stuff around it
?
Lower the quality of the high quality ones
Anything with
is high quality and should be lowered to low quality.
High quality is the sparkle effect and the icon aura linked
Also might as well dump all the materials on a retainer
so everything with the HQ i keep
No
Everything with HQ you make low quality
All the hq items: right click and lower quality
Hq monster drops don't do anything any more
Then stack them with the LQ versions and do what you want with them.
ok
sorry didn't understand what you meant with lower quality
didn't know you could do that
They added that function in EW when they removed HQ from material drops.
so it stacks
Because HQ has no purpose anymore.
and doesn't take up a second inventory slot
It used to be that HQ materials were required to make HQ crafts, but they changed how crafting works so that isn't a thing anymore.
there is no auto sort ?
Inventory space
Right click anything
It is tho
auto sort does not auto lower quality
HQ materials still boost quality at the start
Now HQ crafting is based on crafting abilities, not the quality of materials.
No, no they don't
can free trial players join guilds?
You can join the npc guilds to unlock alt jobs, but no you can't join free companies which are the equivalent of player guilds
k so i lowered everything i now i just sell it all or can the mats be used for important stuff later on
Any tips for someone new to DPS classes for getting better at Machinist?
Level 36 rn
They do
Last Dungeon I ran the healer accused me of trolling for pulling aggro so ig there's something I'm doing wrong lol
They don't, only items with the blue arrows give extra quality progress
And those are the HQ mats
? you likely arent
there are still a handful of HQ mats that still increase quality
And monster drops are materials, and even if they're hq they don't give quality
Craftable materials do
you can ignore that healer
they're probably a dipshit
its just alot gathered items now cant be high quality. if you want HQ mats you craft them HQ then use those. you cant gather HQ much anymore
Unless you were running way ahead of the tank and pulling things back to the group, I'm not sure how they think you were trolling by pulling aggro.
a DPS job will never ever pull aggro off of a tank
Normally that would just mean that your tank sucks.
Gathered and monster drops. But even if you still have the old hq versions from pre 6.0 and use them they don't give quality
particularly experienced players can often run ahead of the tank and pull trash for them
they can if the tank is either 1) not using tank stance or 2) not using their abilities/not aoe'ing.
which is totally fine
well obviously I'm assuming the tank has at least two brain cells
if your tank isn't doing a tank's job then yea anyone else could get aggro off of them
Or you outgear them and it's a "tap once and sprint off to narnia" tank
i just put all the monster mats on my retainer for the time being that's fine right
cuz crafting is probably something ima use later on ?
Where would I go to use the choral attire augmentation
Again it’s a alchemist craft
Hello and is there a trust for lvl 60s
So make it yourself or buy it on MB
No
I have it
Then you go to mor dhona
Where?
Vault?
If it's kakalan and his artifact equipment I can't access that
Then you didn’t do the
outside
They’ve said for a while that they’re slowly adding duty support to the older expansions
What is the quest called if you know?
There shouldn’t be many blue quests right outside the building, just do them
is there anywhere that shows all possible minions from the GC chests
Gamerscape
I’m working on alts and is it those yall recommending?
It'll be in 6.2 and beyond
!whoami
Plenty do it
No don’t do cap dungeons
!faq altlvlguide
what fuil said, but it's basically every acquirable minion from that specific expansion
like the sb one you can get eureka minions
Oh in that sense, level cap dungeons are shit for levelling
Cap dungeons?
Xiv collect has an icon for minions that are obtainable from them
Oh those and thx yall
Just follow the leveling guide
Level cap was 50 in arr, then 60 in hw etc etc etc
this is exactly what i was looking for, thanks
Wind up elvaan will be in the next mogtomes
Since odds are you don't have that
yea i was just checking which materiel container i should be buying
just gonna get whichever one has more minions i don't own
Either way RNG gonna RNG, and you will constantly get dupes
i just give the dupes away to sprouts in major cities anyway
And that doesn't include the mounts in the containers
does mentor exp buff and company exp buff stack?
What ilvl do you need to asphodelos savage, 590?
570 to start?
590 average is basically free now anyways
Do I need to start a quest to start getting crystals from fates?
I restarted my Animia relic quest

damn I've got a long while to go
guys are there any options for making a second floor in an apartment other than using a wooden loft?
So I'm playing on Zalera and have heard there's a lot of benefits to being in an FC. What/where is the best place to hunt down an FC with an active voice chat discord on Zalera server, or is it easy enough to jump servers to a good FC's server?
yo is there a shoe in the game that looks like timbs
No idea what that is
sorry timberland boot
you have to make your own 2nd floor
#glamour-discussion probably better to ask here
ask in a main city
oof forgot that was a channel
Some guy on eorzea collection just dyed the Noctis shoes brown, but you likely don’t have those
yep i know, using a wooden loft, my question is are there any alternative "items" to wooden lofts
To be fair our DRK was also new to tanking and asked for advice which meant they were still learning the ropes themselves
Yeah, so likely they weren't using their AoE to keep aggro on mobs, or were randomly toggling their aggro generator.
And as a result, you ended up pulling aggro sometimes.
The healer who said you were trolling needs to go touch some grass.
Idk why but all the salt I have seen so far has come from healers I've been matched up with lol
I mean I try my best lol
I had a newbie tank once who started the game without stance on, and toggled off their stance one fight after I asked them to turn it on
When I realized they weren't reading chat after that, I had to stop healing them to see if they would notice.
Syncing down removes it since it’s a buff
Right, but they actively turned it off again, lol
I've had tanks in level 79 content who apparently don't know what a defensive is, and liked to eat vuln stacks. I'm a salty healer, but if I see someone genuinely doing their best I'm not going to give them a hard time about it.
But this is off topic
Ngl, Ive been known to greed and eat vuln stacks, but I'll usually use a defensive when I do
Yeah, I'll always commend anyone who learns something during a dungeon, regardless of initial skill level
Yeah, no these tanks ate 3 vuln stacks on bosses then took a tankbuster to the face and predictably died.
If I've started "Soul without Life" I should be getting crystals, right?
Rng
I've done 10 fates but the wiki says two should give a crystal on avarage?
The wiki is bad
Rng is rng
We don’t know the drop rate for things, it’s just making an assumption.
shucks
Just because something is a X drop rate, doesn't mean you should/will have X amount by Y kills
Is this your first one?
To use the ARR fate step as an example, last time I did a relic 4 of the zones I did with a single fate, and two took more than 10 fates.
I got to step 2, I've nearly got all the items for step 3 (the grindist step apparently) and restarted for a DRK relic.
I'm at 12 now without my first crystal
I'm worried I've not done somthing to trigger the crystal to drop.
Okay so I JUST unlocked Squadrons, how do I rank them up past level 1?
Send them out on missions
How, what menu
The guy in the barracks
Talk to the GC NPC by the table
There's nothing in the Barracks that'll let me send em out
You need 4 people to send out
Do challenge logs
Ye
It's rng to get one via any challenge log
The gold saucer category has a large recruit pool
Then the guy will let you send them out
All of the categories but Retainer/Eureka/Complete should have a chance of giving recruits.
Not sure about leves
Which areas do I go to for the luminous crystals?
!faq anima

Yay I win
I really only like consolegameswiki for their ARR relic guide

Is there any sort of "bank" where I can store some of my inventory
Besides the chocobo inventory
Retainers
where would I go for that
Are you free trial?
Yes

Then you can’t use retainers
Storage is for the rich /s

help, ost savants.. i'm looking for a track that plays in endwalker, it's piano version, has that main jingle of the expansion (flow), and has a choir of few women singing syllables
and it goes hard
usually plays in sad/emotional scenes
i think im actually dumb. how do you handle the seeking claw in babil as a healer?
running around in a circle in a quarter of the room still got me hit by it
You run in a straight line away from it.
“Each Drop”?
The follow aoe travels just under the length of the arena
So just run from 1 side to the other
oh gotcha ok
no actually
it's a bit different, goes harder
and has women
it's like.. each drop 2

i mean you give it to them every month with your sub
ah, cause the servers can't handle it
they want to make sure the new worlds are stable before allowing transfers
Well, they'd be taking your money without offering you anything in return - I don't think you'd like that.
There’s “The Ewer Brimmeth” and “The Nautilus Knoweth”, which are the Sharlayan themes @shrewd cradle
I'm sure they'll enable the system once they're confident it's stable.
Not the place to complain. They’ve been said that it’s not coming back until it’s stable
It'll probably get swamped much like the world visit system.
yea sure, but this is a different version of those
those are day and night themes
maybe it's not released?
because i don't see it

What does Perception do? Can't seem to find it in my character screen
You don’t really do that? People don’t really organize for fates unless it’s a special one
Gathering stat
Hunt discords usually do callouts for special FATEs
oh rip
Increases chance of gathering boon triggering when gathering
Normal ones either you look in PF for farm groups by zone, or you solo them.
You don’t see crafting/gathering stats on the character screen unless you’re currently a crafter/gatherer
Dang. I really need to grind fates but I'm bored. I'm just trying to do Anima relic stuff

What is a Static?
A group of people you do hard content with, the members don’t change thus it’s static
A static group of people
