Okay but they were asking about NA ping guys, and pinging chaos would still yield similar results

umbral dune
#

hmm, we need mods to change that command

wispy basalt
#

lmao

umbral dune
#

and the Chaos DC change to 80.239.145.6 as well

jovial quarry
#

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.

cosmic sleet
#

what happens when I open asphodelos jewellery coffer on DoL?

boreal storm
#

You can’t

twilit arch
#

you get an error when trying to open it

jovial quarry
cosmic sleet
#

got it, ty

boreal storm
#

If there’s nothing your current job can get from a coffer, nothing happens

wispy basalt
#

is chaos on congest to travel ?

#

i dont want to wait 30m

patent citrus
#

that's average waiting time

wispy basalt
#

average : O

#

nvm then

patent citrus
#

yeah, just not belong in the same FC

wispy basalt
#

yes but there's some restrictions

#

no

patent citrus
#

ah yeah can't buy houses on another server as well

autumn anvil
#

But people from other worlds on the same data center can still visit your house and vice versa.

boreal storm
#

Good luck with that pal

autumn anvil
#

Then you should probably roll on one of the new servers lol

wispy basalt
#

u just need to pray

autumn anvil
#

I don't think RNGesus minds.

wispy basalt
#

btw can i cancel this

#

😭

warm snow
#

No

obsidian patio
#

The game warned you before letting you confirm

thin ether
#

wonder what alt+f4 does

obsidian patio
#

As for wait time, fastest I’ve had was around 15 minutes to Primal and back to Aether.

naive ridge
#

jesus

jovial quarry
thin ether
#

make some tea

#

huh

#

that's actually surprisingly good

obsidian patio
#

Wait times will surely go down as the hype around Datacenter visiting calms and people stop treating it as a visit to the zoo.

thin ether
#

i thought it'd like, break your shit

boreal storm
#

Actually it targets party member 4

warm snow
thin ether
#

ye probably

boreal storm
#

Alt f[number] just acts like you pressed the button itself, found out on accident one day

wispy basalt
#

eu is kinda dead on morning

patent citrus
#

ah glad to know

wispy basalt
#

😅

patent citrus
#

I was wrong, maybe cause the frequency of complain I see here from people

lunar flare
#

ty!

noble epoch
#

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?

umbral dune
#

expert delivery

#

getting yourself to sergeant second class

bitter herald
#

expert delivery is the best hands down, anything that goves gear can go towards it

noble epoch
#

Right but I'm like two ranks away I think

bitter herald
#

ah

umbral dune
#

you finish the hunting log?

bitter herald
#

gc hunting log, fates, your levelling roulette should give some as well? iirc

noble epoch
#

Hunting logs no

umbral dune
#

do it lol

noble epoch
#

Leveling roulette tho thats new

bitter herald
#

grand company hunting log specifically, as that has a separate list

umbral dune
#

being the role in need when start the queue for levelling roulette reward considerable seals

noble epoch
#

Ah

#

Yeah can't usually fill in role rn

umbral dune
#

scale with your level

noble epoch
#

Leveling dragoon rn and everything else is literally 1

umbral dune
#

well, dps is no good for that

noble epoch
teal eagle
#

Hi so my gear is level 599. I can't get 2 augmented rings. Am I missing something please?

bitter herald
#

yea dps unfortunately are very rarely in need lmao

#

you are not missing anything nope

boreal storm
#

Unique gear

teal eagle
#

I thought max level was 600

boreal storm
#

Always been a thing

bitter herald
#

only way to hit 600 atm is through savage

teal eagle
#

Ok ty

noble epoch
#

So after I level dragoon should I look into getting 1 tank 1 healer before 2nd dps?

boreal storm
#

Do whatever you want man

bitter herald
#

you could level literally everything if you felt like it

autumn anvil
#

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.

bitter herald
#

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

autumn anvil
#

By yourself it's a bit of a hassle. But with 2 it's easy.

#

How so?

wispy basalt
#

you mean transfor your character or start a new one ?

autumn anvil
#

Then by all means, join a new server.

leaden ginkgo
#

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

autumn anvil
#

Server transfers are still disabled, but normally you'd do that on the mogstation.

twilit arch
#

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

autumn anvil
#

Yes, server transfers (from old servers) to new servers are free.

fringe reef
#

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.

twilit arch
#

but as rooster stated, its currently disabled right now

leaden ginkgo
#

when it will be available if there's a date

leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

!faq mogstation

zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
#

then just scroll down the page to "games & additional services" section

autumn anvil
#

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.

twilit arch
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

might as well make a new character was only lvl 35 wasn't that long haha

autumn anvil
#

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?

autumn anvil
umbral dune
#

I think when the lottery got implemented so 4 months since Materia online?

leaden ginkgo
#

msq?

twilit arch
#

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

autumn anvil
twilit arch
#

iirc when they introduced twin/sprig it was like a month to two?

autumn anvil
leaden ginkgo
#

are you a free trial

#

it doesn't take to much effort

#

money is easy

autumn anvil
#

Then the 3 million you need isn't that hard. Just keep selling your junk on the market board.

leaden ginkgo
#

what dc are you delphi

steep egret
#

you make quite a bit of money off just doing teh main quests

autumn anvil
#

You'll probably have 1 mil just passively from doing the story up to HW, yeah.

leaden ginkgo
#

there's a ton of guides on youtube

steep egret
#

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

wispy basalt
#

if you boosted a job youll get 500k from it

autumn anvil
#

30 is super quick though with the XP boost on a new server.

wispy basalt
#

which is not cool

autumn anvil
#

You'll be 30 before you even get to airship travel.

umbral dune
#

why not level to 30 then use the job boost on other job to get both

autumn anvil
#

Do keep in mind though that the real timegate is story progression, not job level.

steep egret
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

i dont recomend to buy a booster just enjoy your time

#

but if you really wanted it go ahead

umbral dune
#

seriously though, gil is not that hard to come by

autumn anvil
#

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.

steep egret
#

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

boreal storm
leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you people for the help

autumn anvil
#

A few days ago.

steep egret
#

you get a lot of money from just playing the story

leaden ginkgo
#

2 days ago

#

the houses on the new worlds are disabled for a month

steep egret
#

ive got 7.5mil and i do no gil farming at all, and im not done with the story

leaden ginkgo
#

you have a lot of time to farm gil

steep egret
#

but i do do all side quests, and reputation grinds

#

and daily roulettes, etc

autumn anvil
#

Yep, I've never actively farmed gil and I'm swimming in it regardless.

wispy basalt
#

dont forget Do not rush just take your time and enjoy it

#

no need to burn out

steep egret
#

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

haughty shard
#

What’s the best way to do Gil farming?

warm snow
#

Doing content

#

Or playing the market board

steep egret
#

find out what is most profitable on the marketboard, and sell that

autumn anvil
#

And again, level doesn't matter. If you really want to get to endgame, you need a story progression skip.

steep egret
#

depends on server

haughty shard
#

Gotcha I’m working on leveling my crafters rn

autumn anvil
#

imo, no.

boreal storm
steep egret
#

uh no

leaden ginkgo
autumn anvil
#

Just level up by doing the story and don't worry about gil.

#

3mil is peanuts.

leaden ginkgo
#

okay

#

thank you guys ❤️

steep egret
#

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 😄

leaden ginkgo
steep egret
#

there is a lot of story, FYI 😄 enjoy!

leaden ginkgo
#

awesome!

#

1 last question lol I'm sorry

#

can I start leveling as a healer right away?

#

or do I have to dps first...

fossil trench
#

Dungeon drops sell for Jack shit

autumn anvil
#

Yes, if you want to. Just pick Conjurer as your starting job.

steep egret
#

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)

leaden ginkgo
steep egret
#

you can check market prices

fossil trench
#

Also keep in mind that healers in ffxiv don't just heal

#

They're expected to dps

steep egret
#

but yeah dungeon drops are common, so dont sell well

#

you just vendor those

fossil trench
#

You also can't sell most dungeon gear on the marketboard too

autumn anvil
#

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)

leaden ginkgo
#

I wanna be a white mage

autumn anvil
#

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 😄 )

umbral dune
#

on a new world as well, easy 35-40

leaden ginkgo
#

but from my understanding level doesn't really matter r8

#

story is the progression

autumn anvil
#

Exactly.

umbral dune
#

but you are started in a new world, the bonus can not be turned off

leaden ginkgo
#

so if i wanna do the whole story from arr to endwalker

#

how many classes can I level to max?

#

lol

steep egret
#

all

leaden ginkgo
#

damn

#

that's so long!!

autumn anvil
#

With just the story quests you mean?

steep egret
#

a single character, can level all classes (jobs later) to max level

leaden ginkgo
steep egret
#

oh

#

1 or 2

#

maybe 3/4 with new server bonus

leaden ginkgo
#

awesome!

autumn anvil
#

Easily 3 up to level 80 at least.

leaden ginkgo
#

I'll do 1 of each role then

#

woah

autumn anvil
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

and the bonus will stay for the whole month right?

umbral dune
#

at least 90 days

autumn anvil
#

3 months from character creation afaik

umbral dune
#

if the world remain New pass that point, you would still receive it

leaden ginkgo
#

awesome

#

well I'll go level now

#

thank you guys so much!

autumn anvil
#

Have fun, and keep us updated! 😄

steep egret
#

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

leaden ginkgo
steep egret
#

the 90 days is minimum, maximum is whenever SE change the server status

leaden ginkgo
#

I see

steep egret
#

this does not apply for transferred characters to new servers

#

they only get 90 days, nothing more

leaden ginkgo
#

wait

#

does the boost work on crafting jobs too?

umbral dune
#

all

leaden ginkgo
#

DAMN

umbral dune
#

Materia is still New right?

leaden ginkgo
#

can I do quests as a crafter? lol
I assume they level up differently

umbral dune
#

they have their own job quest

autumn anvil
#

Main story can't be done by non-combat jobs.

leaden ginkgo
#

I see

autumn anvil
#

And yeah, crafters level mostly by, well, crafting.

#

Or by turning in crafted items.

steep egret
slate arrow
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

I'll abuse the bonus!

slate arrow
#

But yes, enjoy the road to 80

steep egret
autumn anvil
#

Yeah, crafters and gatherers are pretty easily grindable even without double XP. I'd worry about combat jobs first. 😄

leaden ginkgo
#

okay

boreal storm

what about new season rewards?

faint flare
#

All in the lodestone post

#

is the new season rewards included in the post?

#

like the new battle pass rewards

The difference between a PvP Season and a Series

**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.

vital ruin

faint flare
#

Season 2 rewards are the same, just the portrait has a number 2 instead of 1

vital ruin

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?

faint flare
#

Job quests are flat mandatory

boreal storm
#

You have to reach heavenward

solemn jewel
#

Machinist is an expansion job and unlocks in the first expansion

faint flare
#

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

keen lynx
faint flare
#

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

ocean sonnet
#

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

faint flare
#

Yes he is

boreal storm
#

No we won’t say how he is before you ask

keen lynx
faint flare
#

You don't have to finish it

#

But again, if you're not doing the job quests you'll be missing skills

ocean sonnet
keen lynx
#

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?

faint flare
#

But the times you ARE that job you will be

ocean sonnet
faint flare
#

If you're on that job, you need to do the job quests

#

Even if you intend to swap later

boreal storm
#

And again you need to reach HW for machinist , which requires LVL 50

faint flare
#

Unless you're swapping right this second, and intend to never touch it again, then do the job quests

Do we know if Server Transfer service is back? :x Wasn't working yesterday Q.Q

faint flare
#

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

signal spear
#

Did they mention it's suspend on Lodestone? Only posts are for the DC Travel system :x

faint flare
#

Yes they did

boreal storm
#

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

#

Ah alrighty then, Thanks I thought it was recent

#

Can you buy FF14 and then play for free or can you not play at all until you get a subscription

boreal storm
#

!faq freetrial

zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
#

You have to sub after buying

#

Cause you own the game

boreal storm
#

Buying and playing for free are mutually exclusive

faint flare
#

It's not free to play

#

It's free to try

#

Big difference

past dome
#

so you're forced to pay the sub

#

damn alright

boreal storm
#

You’re not forced but like if you want to play, you gotta pay

past dome
#

yeah got it cheers

fickle meadow
#

Isnt home world transfer suppose to be back up? Is there any updates on that issue?

autumn anvil
#

They'll enable it when the servers are stable again. Which they aren't yet.

narrow jay
#

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.

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?

open coral
#

You can, but your account will be flagged every time if you don't have an authenticator.

twilit arch
#

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

wispy whale
#

Thanks, where can I get the authenticator?

twilit arch
#

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

wispy whale
#

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

# open coral Have you tried using the third party launcher?

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

open coral
#

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.

granite venture
#

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.

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?

steel wigeon

i mean, anyone would say yes, you're in a FFXIV discord server with players liking the game

Then you need to unlock melding first.

By doing the quest.

nocturne basalt
#

okay gotcha

steel wigeon
# nocturne basalt how do I add materia to gear?

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

open coral
#

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.

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?

faint flare
#

Party then que

#

You can't go in with npcs in a group

#

It's solo or group only

#

No mixing

keen lynx
#

what's recommended just soloing it then regrouping? wait time is 6mins, yuck

heavy wadi
#

you're gonna need to get used to waiting anyways

carmine fossil
#

if you're dps get used to it

heavy wadi
#

6 minutes is not long

faint flare
#

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

pure flume
#

are the amount of aether currents on older expansions reduced ?

twilit arch

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.

open coral
#

You can play on any datacenter, regardless of your game account region.

umbral dune
#

Why you can't paid sub with mastercard, that sound bullshit

open coral
#

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.

hardy owl
umbral dune
#

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?

open coral
#

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.

twilit arch
#

yes

hardy owl
twilit arch
#

i would suggest trying the free trial first

#

so you know you actually enjoy the game before paying for anything

viscid fossil
#

Is there a cooldown after I DC travel my character? I can switch back after logging out back to my character screen?

hardy owl
twilit arch
#

you would have to make a new account

solemn jewel
twilit arch
solemn jewel
#

Yes

#

my account is EU, i have an alt on NA

faint flare
#

Your account region doesn't have any gameplay effect

#

It's only for billing and paying for stuff

hardy owl
faint flare
#

That doesn't matter

solemn jewel
noble epoch
#

Does crafting the egg for the exp bonus increase the exp gain if you make a superior version of it?

umbral dune
#

No

#

3% exp from food even if it HQ

faint flare
#

HQ only boosts the stats food gives you

#

Not the xp bonus

noble epoch
#

Damn that's rough

#

K thnx

hardy owl
twilit arch
#

a new mogstation account

#

oh you meant changing steam region

#

i don't think it is, but im not 100% sure on steam

umbral dune
#

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

hardy owl
#

i just bought and it says The code's region is inapplicable. ._.

open coral
#

Because your Steam account region doesn't match your Mogstation account region.

hardy owl
open coral
#

Nobody said that here.

hardy owl
#

is it possible to change steam region

open coral
#

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.

umbral dune
#

He didn't even start yet, no free trial

open coral
#

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.

hardy owl
#

but i dont want to play on eu

faint flare
#

Then just don't pick eu

open coral
#

Again, you won't have to.

faint flare
#

When making a character

open coral
#

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.

twilit arch
#

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

open coral
#

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.

umbral dune
#

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

open coral
#

He's already bought the game on Steam

umbral dune
#

Guess we will see him a lots in upcoming day asking about the game

Quest wise yes

considering its 50 levels and 80 post quests, more or less yes

carmine fossil
#

i think its less quests

#

but the story overrall is longer in some

sly saffron
#

Ah i was just wondering since i just finished the first part of heavensward and it felt shortish

boreal storm
#

First part as in what? You beat 3.0, or the first zone?

open coral
#

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

sly saffron
#

Idk i just got to the post of heavensward

umbral dune
#

With tons of cutscences in post HW, you won't feel it shorter than the cursed 80 post ARR quests

open coral
#

"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.

sly saffron
#

Nah lol the missions after the credits

carmine fossil
open coral
#

Ah okay, so you just finished 3.0

sly saffron
#

Yea

sly saffron

Ah yea

carmine fossil

red mage doesnt have a garo weapon right?

twilit arch

nope

modest igloo
#

ty

twilit arch
#

on arr and hw jobs do

open coral
#

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.

woeful drift
#

Damn did I just miss the series of post maint ShB S-ranks or are they actually usually staggered?

open coral
#

Are you in a hunt discord for your server/datacenter?

woeful drift
#

Yeah but its usually chance when I see the post-maint marathon because I never paid attention to how it spawns

carmine fossil
#

you can likely get notification roles

woeful drift
#

and whether I should get up or stay put

open coral
#

I mean, maintenance was two days ago, so you've well missed them by now for sure.

carmine fossil
#

^ maintenance already happened a while ago

open coral
#

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.

warm snow
#

S ranks are manually spawned

open coral
#

Oh that's true. It's A ranks that are up right away.

warm snow
#

There was an A rank in the middle of the way in labyrinthos for me when ew released

open coral
#

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.

woeful drift
#

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

open coral
#

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?

Seems kinda counter intuitive given that they can block aoe indicators

#

Especially holy

open coral
#

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.

open coral
#

One example is the visual flash of Hydaelyn's Blessing in Praetorium.

vast ferry
#

Isn’t there dialogue to tell you when it goes up as well

open coral
#

Yes

#

But the visual effect is classified the same as other player attack effects.

vast ferry
#

So mostly preference but sometimes useful

open coral
#

So if you turn "other players" off, it doesn't show.

#

Yes, mostly preference with occasional usefulness.

High quality is the sparkle effect and the icon aura linked

so everything with the HQ i keep

warm snow

No

open coral

Everything with HQ you make low quality

warm snow

All the hq items: right click and lower quality

Hq monster drops don't do anything any more

open coral

Then stack them with the LQ versions and do what you want with them.

pure flume
#

ok

#

sorry didn't understand what you meant with lower quality

#

didn't know you could do that

open coral

They added that function in EW when they removed HQ from material drops.

pure flume
#

but why would you want to lower the quality of an item

#

whats the purpose of it

robust crow

so it stacks

open coral

Because HQ has no purpose anymore.

robust crow

and doesn't take up a second inventory slot

Craftable materials do

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

which is totally fine

if your tank isn't doing a tank's job then yea anyone else could get aggro off of them

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?

brave ivy
#

yo is there a shoe in the game that looks like timbs

oak lily
#

No idea what that is

Some guy on eorzea collection just dyed the Noctis shoes brown, but you likely don’t have those

quasi cairn
round sapphire
open coral
#

And as a result, you ended up pulling aggro sometimes.

#

The healer who said you were trolling needs to go touch some grass.

round sapphire
#

Idk why but all the salt I have seen so far has come from healers I've been matched up with lol

oak lily
#

If you don’t let us heal you, of course you’re gonna die

#

Or help us heal you

round sapphire
#

I mean I try my best lol

cerulean gale
#

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.

oak lily
#

Syncing down removes it since it’s a buff

cerulean gale
#

Right, but they actively turned it off again, lol

open coral
#

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

warm snow
#

Ngl, Ive been known to greed and eat vuln stacks, but I'll usually use a defensive when I do

cerulean gale
#

Yeah, I'll always commend anyone who learns something during a dungeon, regardless of initial skill level

open coral
#

Yeah, no these tanks ate 3 vuln stacks on bosses then took a tankbuster to the face and predictably died.

warm snow
#

Just use your invuln lol

#

But yeah getting off topic

azure totem
#

If I've started "Soul without Life" I should be getting crystals, right?

oak lily
#

Rng

azure totem
#

I've done 10 fates but the wiki says two should give a crystal on avarage?

obsidian patio
#

The wiki is bad

faint flare
#

Rng is rng

obsidian patio
#

We don’t know the drop rate for things, it’s just making an assumption.

azure totem
#

shucks

faint flare
#

Just because something is a X drop rate, doesn't mean you should/will have X amount by Y kills

oak lily
#

Is this your first one?

obsidian patio
#

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.

Okay so I JUST unlocked Squadrons, how do I rank them up past level 1?

obsidian patio
#

Send them out on missions

round sapphire
#

How, what menu

faint flare
#

The guy in the barracks

obsidian patio
#

Talk to the GC NPC by the table

round sapphire
#

There's nothing in the Barracks that'll let me send em out

faint flare
#

You need 4 people to send out

round sapphire
#

Oh

#

I only have 3

faint flare
#

Do challenge logs

round sapphire
#

Ye

faint flare
#

It's rng to get one via any challenge log

obsidian patio
#

The gold saucer category has a large recruit pool

faint flare
#

Then the guy will let you send them out

obsidian patio
#

All of the categories but Retainer/Eureka/Complete should have a chance of giving recruits.

#

Not sure about leves

tribal salmon
#

Which areas do I go to for the luminous crystals?

faint flare
#

Consolegames is bad

#

Gamerescape is better

warm snow
#

!faq anima

faint flare
#

!faq anima

zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
#

Also use this

warm snow
#

Yay I win

obsidian patio
#

I really only like consolegameswiki for their ARR relic guide

#

A lot of their stuff tends to be more outdated compared to Gamerescape

noble epoch
#

Is there any sort of "bank" where I can store some of my inventory

#

Besides the chocobo inventory

oak lily
#

Retainers

noble epoch
#

where would I go for that

oak lily
#

Are you free trial?

noble epoch
#

Yes

faint flare
#

Then you can't get them

oak lily
#

Then you can’t use retainers

warm snow
#

Storage is for the rich /s

noble epoch
#

RIP

warm snow
#

Ff14 confirmed p2w

noble epoch
#

So just cope with chocobo inventory ig

wide breach
#

Anyone with knowledge of mods know what the FFXIV Party Finder mod is where it like tells you when to relist your posts?

#

I used to have it ages ago when I'd LFG alot but i've recently came back and forgot all my mods

shrewd cradle
#

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

pure copper
#

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

slate arrow
faint flare
#

The follow aoe travels just under the length of the arena

#

So just run from 1 side to the other

pure copper
#

oh gotcha ok

shrewd cradle
#

it's a bit different, goes harder

#

and has women

#

it's like.. each drop 2

bitter herald
#

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

autumn anvil
#

Well, they'd be taking your money without offering you anything in return - I don't think you'd like that.

oak lily
#

There’s “The Ewer Brimmeth” and “The Nautilus Knoweth”, which are the Sharlayan themes @shrewd cradle

autumn anvil
#

I'm sure they'll enable the system once they're confident it's stable.

boreal storm
#

Not the place to complain. They’ve been said that it’s not coming back until it’s stable

autumn anvil
#

It'll probably get swamped much like the world visit system.

shrewd cradle
#

those are day and night themes

#

maybe it's not released?

#

because i don't see it

oak lily
#

Which isn’t in the ost

shrewd cradle
#

oh

#

that's the one

#

i haven't heard flow itself yet so i wouldn't know

oak lily
#

It’s leitmotif is all over EW

#

Like half the songs haha

tribal salmon
#

Where do I go to get ppl for fates?

vocal hound
#

How do I hide HUD?

#

Scroll Lock

noble epoch
#

What does Perception do? Can't seem to find it in my character screen

boreal storm
open coral
#

Hunt discords usually do callouts for special FATEs

noble epoch
faint flare
#

Increases chance of gathering boon triggering when gathering

open coral
#

Normal ones either you look in PF for farm groups by zone, or you solo them.

obsidian patio
#

You don’t see crafting/gathering stats on the character screen unless you’re currently a crafter/gatherer

tribal salmon
#

Dang. I really need to grind fates but I'm bored. I'm just trying to do Anima relic stuff

oak lily
#

Use Blu

leaden ginkgo
#

What is a Static?

boreal storm
#

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

faint flare
#

A static group of people

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it a set group that doesn't change much?

faint flare
#

That's the definition of the word static itself

leaden ginkgo
#

That sounds great

#

Gotta get myself one of those

faint flare
#

They change when people leave or get kicked but mostly stay the same

#

Tldr: the raid groups

vocal hound
#

There's this kingdom hearts themed band playing here and I'm freaking out bc I can't hide this damn HUD

faint flare
#

Scroll lock, which is near the numpad

#

Unless you changed the keybind

delicate roost
#

If you run potd with a friend, if you kill a mob independently, does your friend get the xp of that kill? Or to ensure your friend's max xp is it better to let them hit everything first?

also does potd xp come more from kills or level completion ?

oak lily
#

Exp is gained at the end of the 10 floors

#

The independent leveling is just wack

delicate roost
#

oh i see ok thank you c:

half hare
#

which crafted seiyru items sells the most / most popular

oak lily
#

Depends on your server

Remember you have to compete against everyone in your region now
