Not the OIC one

[heavy wadi]

OIC one is for fcs only

[boreal storm]

Chocobo issuance is 200 seals
You’re definitely talking to the wrong person

[faint flare]

Wrong person

They told you that you buy the license from the personal quatermaster at the grand company

[boreal storm]

Read the dialogue please

[heavy wadi]

that is not your grand company quartermaster.

read your quests in the future as they do tell you where to go if you forget/get confused

[pure flume]

i'm already past this area but did not get all the aether currents

are they given in sidequests too or something ?

[boreal storm]

That’s what the Q stands for

[pure flume]

Q ?

actually yeah what are the blue quests and what are the normal looking ones, never understood it

[modest igloo]

!faq questicons

[zinc orbit]

What do all these quest icons mean?

- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

[faint flare]

Blue quests unlock SOMETHING

[pure flume]

thanks !

[jolly sorrel]

How many Oddly Specific Cedar Logs do I need to get through the entire skybuilder quest chain? I have 39 listed in an old google sheet of mine but I'm trying to figure out how I came to that number

nvm, found the numbers

105 resp 90 of the intermediate mats, divided by 5

[loud heron]

what is there to do in ff besides raiding,msq and lvling characters?

[faint flare]

Collect stuff, do gold saucer, glamour, socialise

Triple triad/Lord of vermilion/mahjong

Pvp stuff

[boreal storm]

Crafting, gathering. Legitimately whatever makes you happy

[modest igloo]

Can’t forget treasure maps, mount collecting, exploratory content

[jovial quarry]

And before the end of the year we’ll be getting the personal islands/farm stuff.

[lone hearth]

Hello so my friend is just got the game on steam and he is making his account and it said that his confirmation email has been sent to his email about 15 mins ago and it still hasn't arrived just wondering if its just being slow or is not working.

[boreal storm]

Steam doesn’t get emailed
They already have the game keys

[lone hearth]

The one for making the square enix account

[half hare]

do minstral tales count for the tank achivements

[faint flare]

They're extremes

[boreal storm]

Okay did they buy the game or do the trial, because I only started getting real account emails after registration

[faint flare]

So yes

[lone hearth]

He bought the game

[boreal storm]

!faq mogstation

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[boreal storm]

And can they try logging into here?

[lone hearth]

They don't have the square enix account its what he's trying to make but the confirmation email won't arrive.

I just had him trying to do it through the lodestone website directly but it said confirmation code email was sent already and that he'd have to wait 24 hours to send another one.

[pure flume]

what should i buy with my tomestones besides gear

i'm capped atm

[oak lily]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[pure flume]

the page won't load

does it load for you ?

nvm it works now

[robust crow]

buy gear for other jobs you want to level

[pure flume]

planning to play reaper but that's probably getting better stuff than IL 130 right

[robust crow]

most of the extra stuff on that poetics guide should be after you're done leveling

reaper will come with some gear when you unlock it

[faint flare]

Reaper starts at 70

So yeah, it gets 380

[oak lily]

Rpr starts at lvl 70 with ilvl 370 gear

[faint flare]

Or 385 whatever it is

[pure flume]

aight

[robust crow]

my suggestion is pick another job you like

and get gear for it

[faint flare]

And you swap it with i400 poetic

[oak lily]

Dragoon shares gear with reaper

[pure flume]

yeah so in the end i can use reaper armor i get for dragoon which i have been leveling

so the only real thing i can get for drag is the spear ig

[faint flare]

The reaper starting gear is job locked

[oak lily]

Reaper’s starting gear is locked

[pure flume]

ohh

[faint flare]

And can't be equipped under 70

[pure flume]

ok

[robust crow]

if you aren't already leveling dragoon

[outer mural]

i would not stress getting higher level gear over the msq level you're doing

[robust crow]

you're going to need gear for it anyway

[outer mural]

but yeah go for poetics gear

[robust crow]

because it starts at 1

[barren gazelle]

Whats the quickest way to clear your inventory? And armory chest. I havent done this since u started the game

[robust crow]

so you'll have to buy a full set of DRG ironworks eventually anyway

[silent sundial]

Anyone know how do I pay the sub with Steam using my country coin? I know there's a way to not pay using the dollar conversion in steam, but I cant figure it out

[robust crow]

do you see this?

any item in your inventory that has a shop selling price

means it can be purchased from an NPC

you can safely discard any item that has it

[barren gazelle]

Ooo i see. Thank you very much

[robust crow]

other than that, toss things you want to keep in a retainer

[oak lily]

And make new gear go into your inv

[robust crow]

take extra note that the "Sells for 1 gil" and "Shop Selling Price" are two different things

do not confuse them

[barren gazelle]

How r they different

[robust crow]

"Sells for 1 gil" means an NPC will buy it from you for that price

"Shop Selling Price" means there is an NPC somewhere in the world that will sell you this item for that price

[remote lintel]

what npcs buy it for vs what they sell it to you for

[barren gazelle]

Ohh. Ty lol i probably wouldve confused that ngl

[topaz veldt]

Just like in real life

Cash converters: this 20 year old console is 150
Also cash converters: I can buy it for 50 bucks

[robust crow]

you would be extremely sad

to have sold this to an NPC

[barren gazelle]

How so

[hidden crest]

is the only way to get glams from dungeons running them or can I buy them somewhere

[robust crow]

that item is worth up to a million gil (depending on market) to other players

[barren gazelle]

MB has some

[topaz veldt]

Because you can't buy that from an NPC, you can sell it on market board for a mint

[robust crow]

you would have sold it to an NPC for 1 gil

[barren gazelle]

MB has some dungeon items*

[outer mural]

if you're unsure if an item has value you can jusdt manually check on the marketboard or your retainer's marketboard posting menu

or third-party plugins if you want it even quicker

[barren gazelle]

Why is it so expensive?

[atomic elm]

Is there any possible way that I can unlink my FFXIV account from Steam? I'm okay with having to buy the game/expansions again, just don't want to lose account.

[heavy wadi]

you're locked to steam

[faint flare]

The only way to get it is via RNG with a max level retainer

So supply is low

[heavy wadi]

can't use the standalone launcher if you have steam

[faint flare]

But demand is high

[barren gazelle]

Oh wow-

[robust crow]

or you can buy it with real money from mog station

that's the only other method

[faint flare]

But those aren't tradeablr

[robust crow]

yea the ones purchased with real money aren't tradeable

but the same item brought back from a retainer is

[barren gazelle]

How do i level up my retainer btw? I just started exploring the finer things in this game recently like the golden saucer and ive started leveling up my grand company which i hadnt done since i started the game. I have yet to do anything with my retainers though

[robust crow]

send them on ventures

they get exp over time doing so

quick ventures are 1 hour duration and give the most overall exp if you spam at least 3 or 4 of them in your play session

[barren gazelle]

Oh. Where do i go to do that?

[robust crow]

otherwise there are 18 hour ventures that give a huge chunk of exp if you want low maintenance

any summoning bell

you will need venture coins to send them

best way to get those is to buy with GC seals

[faint flare]

You need to unlock ventures first by doing the quick quest in any of the main cities

Ill convinced venture

That let's you give them a class to go on ventures

[barren gazelle]

Lemme just ss this cuz i remember i didnt make a retainer on this acct lol i gotta do that

How do i use a saved preset for a retainer

Appearance preset*

[obsidian patio]

It asks you when hiring one

[barren gazelle]

It asks u after the character creation?

[carmine fossil]

cant unlink it from steam, if you contact sqex i believe they can unlink your steam account so you can link it to a new account

[barren gazelle]

Im making my retainer look like a super proper nice old tiger butler 😐 i love it

Can i give him a monocle???

Please tell me thats a thing

[faint flare]

With glamour yes

[barren gazelle]

😭yes.. How much

[faint flare]

Pretty sure there's a monocle glamour around

[barren gazelle]

That makes me very happy lmao

[carmine fossil]

theres a monocle

its from a dungeon

i dunno which one

it might be qarn, toto-rak, aurum, idk

Hopefully it aint expensive lol

Hmmmm.. Also how do retainers level up? Do they start from level one and level like i do?

[carmine fossil]

no

they start at level 1

and level up from ventures

[barren gazelle]

So ill have to get him to level 32 to equip it to him?

[faint flare]

Yes

[carmine fossil]

yeah

[barren gazelle]

Poo. Hopefully that wont take long

[faint flare]

Ventures are 1h minimum

[carmine fossil]

nah they can take shorter

hunting is 40m

[faint flare]

So if you check back often then it shouldnt take toooooo long

[carmine fossil]

idk if it gives xp though

[faint flare]

Still a few days

[barren gazelle]

Can someone envision my character and help me come up with a suitable name? Lol

Geoffrey??

Lol

[faint flare]

Kellogs-masocot

[carmine fossil]

it doesnt really matter

[barren gazelle]

I like

Can i take my retainer in dungeons?? Since he'll have a class and a level? Like the npc dungeons

[outer mural]

name it something stupid so people wi ll be amused and likely buy more stuff

[barren gazelle]

That would be cool

[outer mural]

no

[faint flare]

No

[outer mural]

retainers are essentially slaves

[barren gazelle]

Damn.

[outer mural]

you send them to do stuff or be your marketboard interns

the people you adventure with are paid workers who actually fight with you

[barren gazelle]

Cant i enslave them in the dungeon too? 🥺

[oak lily]

No

[outer mural]

literally the canon since they're gc members

[barren gazelle]

Sadge

[oak lily]

That’s what your squadron is for

[carmine fossil]

retainers are basically your bank

that goes to get stuff on ventures

they are not very involved

[barren gazelle]

Can u customize the appearance of said squadron

[carmine fossil]

you can customize armor

[barren gazelle]

Not character creation tho?

[carmine fossil]

no

[faint flare]

You don't create them

[barren gazelle]

Dang. Oh well guess the game cant offer EVERYTHING🙄

[steep egret]

there is a fixed list of characters you can hire

you can wait until you get the ones you want

[carmine fossil]

you're not really using squadrons that much

[barren gazelle]

I use em for my dps classes thats about it

To level them up

The npc dungeons i mean

[steep egret]

you dont even need them for that anymore

since we have duty support

[barren gazelle]

Is there a benefit of entrusting them with gil?

[oak lily]

No

[carmine fossil]

if you reach gil cap

[barren gazelle]

Lol like thatd ever happen to me- anyways. Where is the venture quest in limsa? Isnt there a dicord command i can use to check

[carmine fossil]

what

you assign them in your retainer

[faint flare]

Should be literally next to the aetheryte

The quest to unlock ventures

[carmine fossil]

oh is it a quest 💀

[faint flare]

Yes

Ill convinced venture

[barren gazelle]

I see it

[carmine fossil]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/An_Ill-conceived_Venture_(Limsa_Lominsa)

[steep egret]

just, do the quest

thats it

suggest having the "recommended" menu up on quests

and look for blue quests, do those, as they provide unlocks

[barren gazelle]

U mean the thing on the right side of the screen? That shows ur current active quest objectives?

[steep egret]

nah there is a recommended menu

probably under duty

you can filter it via types of things you want it to show

like fates for example

i use it for new areas, and leave it on quests, to see what blues are around ive missed

and just do all of those

you can click teh quests in the list to see where they are

but its also handy to quickly see which fates are up, if you are looking for a specific one in your area

[barren gazelle]

I see. Thank you

Are different retainer classes good for different things?

[obsidian patio]

All combat classes are the same for retainers

[outer mural]

only in terms of combat / miner / botanist / fisher as the main distinctions

[steep egret]

each gatherer can give you different stuff associated with their class
all combat ones are the same

[outer mural]

they give diff stuff fromthese 4 roles

[barren gazelle]

I see

[faint flare]

Do note they can't bypass your level on that job

So they can't out level you

[swift token]

Im new to FF14 and I have been trying to create a Square Enix account but I’m not getting the verification email. Is it suppose to take over an hour to send?

[unborn dock]

are retainers a good way to acquire gil?

[hallow tangle]

No, they are a good way to level desynth though, which is.

there is a tiny chance you could get something valuable, but its behind multiple layers of no-chance RNG

in all the years ive played i got something worth a few hundred or a million gil maybe once or twice.

[boreal storm]

You use retainers to sell things on the MB so yes they’re a good way to get money
No idea why you’re mentioning desynth

[hallow tangle]

When people talk about earning money with retainers they are talking about ventures.

[leaden ginkgo]

yo guys im having a bit of a problem. i want to deposit crysta but it says i reached the limit? but i have 397 crysta on my account. seriously what do i do

[pure flume]

what are you entering

on the bottom

or do you select a pre selected amount

[pure flume]

.

guys i cannot seem to find/see the other quests i am required to do to get the aether currents

i don't see any blue quests

[faint flare]

They appear as you progress story

And the final is via story

[leaden ginkgo]

yes, 2000 crysta

not a single amount work

[pure flume]

sounds dumb as hell but try typing the amount

[leaden ginkgo]

tried

[pure flume]

mbe type 2000 here, or reset the cache in your browser

[boreal storm]

Are you sure you’re looking in Coerthas western highlands? Because all 4 quests are there

[leaden ginkgo]

i tried to use different browser, device ip

everything

i just cant make the payment

lol

[pure flume]

then i don't know, sorry

[steep egret]

Aether unlock quests are only available, after certain parts of the story, so if you haven't progressed, then just keep doing the MSQ

[oak lily]

One is from Dusk Vigil, others are just quests

[boreal storm]

Dusk vigil is gotten from a quest, so nothing we said changed

[steep egret]

you cannot just enter a new area, and unlock all Aether currents, they expect you to run around until you complete most of the story line in that area first, and the quests are locked behind that story

[pure flume]

i just wasn't in the area lmao dumbass mistakes

i've already finished the msq in this area

[steep egret]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/562193758121361418.webp?size=64

[pure flume]

is there any way to check what blue quests i still have to do

[boreal storm]

They’re in the zone, visible on the map

Please do them

[pure flume]

i've looked at ff14todo the website but

[steep egret]

open the recommended menu, switch to quests

it will show quests in the area

and blues are usually at the top

[pure flume]

i cannot seem to navigate it correctly lmao

yeah but i would need to go to each area then no ?

[oak lily]

Just go to the zone and open the map

[steep egret]

i just do blues as they appear in that menu

[pure flume]

that takes time

[oak lily]

Teleport there

[boreal storm]

do you want to get flight or not, because you can keep complaining all you want
That’s not gonna change anything

[steep egret]

there are only a finite amount of zones in the game, just teleport to each, check recommended list, then complete quests, move on to next area

just go down the teleport list

[pure flume]

actually the website works wonders

shows me completed zones

[steep egret]

in future, just do them as you go, its not that hard

[oak lily]

Careful

[steep egret]

spoilers

[pure flume]

yeah ik but i took a year break haha i didn't know if i did them all

[steep egret]

zones in there are spoilers

[pure flume]

sorry i'll take it down

[boreal storm]

That’s a huge spoiler list just out for all to see

[faint flare]

Not very often

Cause they cost money in a world with semiconductor shortages

1. Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

2. An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.

By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.

[cerulean gale]

Main story and blue quests are your best bet

[coarse sinew]

I notice that side quests don’t give me much experiences. Is it even worth doing side quests?

[cerulean gale]

Only for lore really

[faint flare]

See faq

Answer is no

[boreal storm]

Doesn’t matter how high your level is, the story still locks everything behind it

[neon sentinel]

how to change a pose for holding weapons for my SAM class ?
I saw some fancy styles but /cpose and /changepose doing nothing like that

[faint flare]

It's gender specific

[neon sentinel]

do i need to unlock something ?

oh

[faint flare]

Males do 1 pose, females do the other

[neon sentinel]

[boreal storm]

Also if it wasn’t seen in game, they could’ve modded the pose

idk it shouldnt be a gender specific thing

but nothing to do about it i guess

[keen lynx]

Are we certain the msq's of two players line up? we just did the first dungoen got seperated now we're at the 2nd and still not together again, I just miss my boy...

[oak lily]

after 15 its the same'

[faint flare]

It's literally identical after the Envoy quest

Which is when you visited the other cities

[open coral]

You're on the exact same quests. Are you on different servers?

Also keep in mind that if you're not in a party together when you queue for the dungeon, you'll likely get placed with entirely separate groups.

Dungeons are multiplayer content, after all.

[noble epoch]

What classes are available for trial people? Trying to help a friend choose

[faint flare]

Everything except stormblood and onwards jobs

[open coral]

From the beginning? All of the ARR classes.

[noble epoch]

Actually easier question, what classes can they not play

[faint flare]

No GNB, DNC, SAM, RDM, RPR, SGE

The stormblood and onwards jobs

[noble epoch]

sick ty

[open coral]

So that means:

Gridania: Conjurer, Archer, Lancer
Ul'dah: Pugilist, Gladiator, Thaumaturge
Limsa: Arcanist, Marauder (Rogue after unlocking the ability to change classes)

[mighty hawk]

quick question, are all NA data centers located in the same place? (aether, cryystal and primal)

[faint flare]

Yes

[oak lily]

Yes

[open coral]

Yes. Physically.

[mighty hawk]

ty

[faint flare]

Literally same building

[flint pollen]

? Folks and what is the difference with red and purple mobs and they are not boss in the dungeon which I’m doing grayfox atm

[oak lily]

What?

[open coral]

Purple just means someone else has aggro who isn't in your party.

[flint pollen]

I’m a blm

[steep egret]

grayfox, this isnt metal gear solid 😛

[fair sun]

Quick question: when you change ur hair colour as a cat person, does it also change ur ear and tail colour? Is that optional?

[open coral]

Yes, hair color and fur color are linked

[fair sun]

Ah ok

[steep egret]

ears are part of hair colour

and tail as well i guess, yes

[median knoll]

the bosses in Thornmarch (Hard) must they be killed in order?

[flint pollen]

They are green on the mob list but what I’m referring that the color above their heads

[steep egret]

you can check this in the aesthetician

[fair sun]

Good to know! I'm thinking of making my catboy have a more earthy hair colour

[faint flare]

No

Just kill at least 2

[median knoll]

okay thanks for that

[steep egret]

there is a vague order, but hard version isn't really that hard

[open coral]

If you're in the open world, purple just means someone else has aggro. If you're in a dungeon, it means a friendly NPC has aggro.

Red means you or someone in your party has aggro.

[flint pollen]

I’m using the trust

[open coral]

Same thing

[median knoll]

going to be my first time doing it and first doing 8 man

[flint pollen]

Ok thx

[fair sun]

So, when can I go to be a white mage?

[faint flare]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[open coral]

In Brayflox Longstop, purple would mean that the NPCs are aggroed to one of the goblins.

[flint pollen]

Oh ok thx

[cobalt flax]

Do I have to pay to change servers from aether to crystal?

[heavy wadi]

what do you mean by change servers

you can datacenter travel for free

permanently moving costs money

[cobalt flax]

I tried that but I can't pick my avatar when I do

[steep egret]

you tried how?

did you just go to the datacenter, and try to find your character there?

you need to right click your character name, and select the option there

[cobalt flax]

Sorry if this is dumb. I'm not use to mmos

[outer mural]

i beleikve i understand what's going on

[scarlet galleon]

Is dc visitation disabled already?

[outer mural]

when you try to swap over to a data center, you go to the characrer you want first then you right click on them for the option to travel

you do not go to the other data center first

so go back to the data center that has your character, which i assume is crystal

[outer mural]

no, it was shadow-enabled a few hours after being disabled but some worlds like Balmung are just clogged to hell

everywhere else is fine for the most part, a few people in #beginner-lounge hung out with me for a bit after heading to my server, Zalera, which is pretty low-key

[scarlet galleon]

Everything calm here in mateus

[rigid kite]

How much does home world transfer cost again?

[outer mural]

10 bucks or so iirc

[umbral dune]

18 dollars

[outer mural]

18??

goodness

[umbral dune]

Yeah it's expensive

[rigid kite]

Welp okay thanks anyway

[twilit arch]

its partially so expensive to discourage people from abusing it

[umbral dune]

But it's currently down, not available until the dev deem so

[flint lance]

anyone know when homeworld transfers open up?

[twilit arch]

When SE makes a post about it

they have given us no time line

[outer mural]

guys, when do I get my first mount?

[faint flare]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts, ''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest ''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.

Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.

Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

Yes. After that point, and after completing 2.0 and reaching 2nd(?) Lieuenant with your Grand Company, you'll unlock The Hunt, which has similar types of objectives, but completable on any class, and both daily and weekly marks.

[pure flume]

what do you mean with 2.0

[obsidian patio]

The base game, AKA 1-50

[boreal storm]

Hunting logs basically don’t exist past ARR

[obsidian patio]

They’re an abandoned concept that got replaced with the Aforementioned Hunts

[open coral]

You can rebind the ally target to other keys if you want

But other than the function keys (for kbm), no. Not that I'm aware of.

[pure flume]

it's already getting pretty crowded with keybinds haha idk what to bind anymore

[outer mural]

are you using modifiers

Still dungeons

[twilit arch]

[faint flare]

Don't do level cap dungeons

Do the one before it

Cause they give shit xp

Cause they're not designed for levelling

They're for tomes

No

[open coral]

You should do the 73 dungeon

[faint flare]

That's not a level cap

[twilit arch]

You should do the 73

[boreal storm]

You didn’t unlock shishui

[outer mural]

the reason is because when the expansion's msq ends and you're max level, such as 80 for shb, you don't get any exp at all and the numbers they give to them when they're no longer level cap dungeons is suepr low

[open coral]

Highest non-capped dungeon.

[twilit arch]

level cap is 50/60/70/80 dungeons

[boreal storm]

Please do

[outer mural]

but yeah do 73 next

if you odn't have shisui it's in ruby sea

it's the only instance of a blue unlock for a levelling dungeon afiak

which is quite weird

[faint flare]

73 is dhon meg

[twilit arch]

since those levels were the level caps before the next expac release

[outer mural]

or err

yeah 63 for shisui but if you're in 70+ you're fine yeah

just extra tidbit if you don't have it

[twilit arch]

its not

what else is there

[boreal storm]

Dusk vigil, all the ARR ones

I'm trying to level my Monk to 60 before I start StormBlood, how do I properly use PotD to level my character up?(Does killing the enemies give my actual level EXP, or is it clearing 10 floors?(I do have the Floor 51 start.)

[boreal storm]

Clear floors

[storm plume]

Just random activities, dungeons, trials, fates, things like that

[steep egret]

if you clear 10 floors, you get EXP, thats it

Hi all. I had a quick question about a plugin that I used to have installed via Dalamud—"Burning Down the House", the one that makes positioning furniture a million times easier. About a month ago I bought a new computer and had to reinstall Dalamud in FFXIV, and when I went to look for BDTH, it wasn't there. It still isn't showing for me when I search available plugins.

Did it get removed from Dalamud? Is there a way I can install it manually on my own?

[steep egret]

it was never included in Dalamud
it is an unsupported 3rd party plugin, google to find it, and dont ask anyone on the Dalamud discord for help with it

[outer mural]

if you recall, you had to find the repo for BDTH and add it into Dalamud's list of URLs since it is still in testing

https://github.com/LeonBlade/BDTHPlugin

here's the link again, instructions inside

[outer owl]

Oh okay. Thank you! I must have forgotten how I installed it the first time. I thought I just installed it directly via Dalamud's in-game menu.

[steep egret]

BDTH will never be accepted as an official dalamud plugin as it allows you to circumvent the game's built in limitations, and Square can tell you are using mods, if your housing items are in places they shouldn't

[outer mural]

nah, though it is pretty easy

[steep egret]

if they cared to check that that is

and that goes against Dalamud's plugin guidelines

[outer mural]

fair enough, you can get some pretty wild things you couldn't do with normal gltiching

[steep egret]

obligatory : you use it at your own risk

[outer owl]

Thank you, I am aware 🙂

[zinc orbit]

What is this <:sprout:734386482562727988> icon?

The or 'sprout' indicates that you are a new adventurer in the game and is only automatically removed when you have met the following criteria: 300 hours of playtime and completed the main scenario quest Death Unto Dawn.
The icon can also be manually removed by typing /nastatus off into your chat. This isn't typically recommended as it helps other players gauge your progress into the game.

[sly saffron]

Thanks

[slate arrow]

what's the tl;dr for MNK PB combos

[patent citrus]

opo, coeurl, raptor for solar and 3 opo for lunar

I made a new character on Raiden (returning player). I didn't get invited to the novice network. Does someone have to manually invite me?

yeah

type /search and filter condition by mentor

the NN access will get transferred as long as you don't leave yourself

[fierce karma]

do all ew non-msq generic quests scale, so it doesn't matter what zone i do them in if i just want exp?

[twilit arch]

yes, they scale for lvls 80-90

just gotta be mind of the mobs in those zones

since if you're in say zone 6 while 81, and run into mobs around you, they're gonna be 88-89

[noble epoch]

So I just finished gc hunts and my daily turn ins. Are my only options for gc currency random levelsyncs?

[round lotus]

gear donation?

you can donate green gear for gc, tho its low at low lvl

[noble epoch]

One level away

[round lotus]

ah, fates give small change also bit its very small

so best is prolly to try use adv in need leveling roulette

plus you gonna need to clear a dungeon if I remember correctly

[noble epoch]

Unfortunately still leveling dragoon

Couldn't level healer or tank yet

[autumn anvil]

Getting to 16 on a tank/healer is insanely quick if you're on one of the new servers, and not that slow on an older one either.

Probably more productive than grinding fates for GC seals if you really want to knock it out today.

[noble epoch]

On leviathan rn

How would I go about it then?

[autumn anvil]

Job quests + hunting log.

[noble epoch]

Dang do hunting logs give a lot?

[autumn anvil]

First one, yes.

Second one, kinda.

After that, probably not worth it anymore.

But it does get you through the early levels pretty fast.
Especially since you're gonna be in those zones for your job quests anyway

[noble epoch]

Fair

Who would you recommend for a support?

Class. Considering I enjoy dragoon

[autumn anvil]

Not too many options honestly. Marauder -> Warrior is probably the best entry-level tank.

And for healer, it's Conjurer or nothing. 😄

(since Arcanist can't heal dungeons until 30)

[noble epoch]

Damn

[autumn anvil]

Once you get to Heavensward (or level 60) more options will open up. 🙂

[little swift]

there aren't any purely support jobs in this game

but there are jobs that have supportive tools in their kits

such as bard with their songs/cleanse/raid buffs

[warm snow]

To follow up on channys point, even healers spend 90% of the time doing dps

[barren gazelle]

Wheres the level 35 scholar job quest?

[warm snow]

Click it on your msq tracker

[unkempt swift]

what time does the stamp item change for the kupo of fortune?

[obsidian patio]

It changes every ticket

There’s no timer to it.

[unkempt swift]

Do you mean theres a chance for it to change every ticket (5 item turn-ins?) i recall turning in 10 of item X before for 2 tickets back to back

did i just get lucky or something that it didnt change that time

[warm snow]

When you turn in a ticket it's randomly generated on the spot

It's possible to roll 6 twice in a row on a dice so ofc it's possible for it to repeat

[unkempt swift]

ohhh ok i see

i suppose that means its not a good idea to say, make 80 of the same item thinking im about to get 16 tickets right 😛

[warm snow]

You're capped at 10 tickets at once

And you'll be warned if further turn ins will overcap it

So do 50 turn ins, do 10 tickets, then do another 30 turn ins for your last 6 tickets

[unkempt swift]

right i just wanted to double check if i understood; say its asking for Tea

it wouldn't be a good idea for me to craft 50 Tea's, right? Since turning in 5 of them has a chance to make them ask me for say, Cookies instead

[warm snow]

You only ever get stamps from your highest level currently available craft

There's an icon on the turn in menu

[unkempt swift]

ohhhh

[warm snow]

So I'm level 90 and I only get stamps from level 80 crafts

[unkempt swift]

i see, thanks for clarifying for me

i came here to ask because i super messed up... I was level 69 CUL and wanted to craft a bunch of Teas to turn in, it leveled me up to 70

then its no longer giving me stamps for tea now because im 70 now i guess..

[autumn anvil]

Every 5 levels you get access to a new recipe.

So from that point onwards, that one is the one that gives you stamps.

[unkempt swift]

👌 thanks

i've rebounded that to a skill

[steep egret]

Default I believe is it avoids players

It's a good feature for controllers

As it also causes the selection to snap to things it allows

For controllers auto-target does a fine job prioritizing npcs over players. Never had any issues with it even on default settings.

Would new world stay new for like a year, like what is the case in the pass?

[bitter herald]

there really isn't a guarantee on how long worlds stay preferred, it's just something they monitor and keep tabs on the population

[runic crag]

can someone confirm when will island sanctuary release? 6.2 (late aug) or 6.25 (nov~dec)

[umbral dune]

Wait new world will get demoted straight to normal, not even prefered in between, when the dev think so?

6.25, just check the #translations-and-liveletters again

[slate arrow]

New is basically the same as preferred, so there's no reason to swap them to preferred before going to normal or congested.

[umbral dune]

Ok

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys, why can't I visit the housing wards?

[autumn anvil]

Are you on a new server?

[leaden ginkgo]

[autumn anvil]

Housing districts are still closed there. You can visit a housing district by using world visit to visit an old server.

[leaden ginkgo]

oh okay I'll do that then

I'm so puzzled... between the mist and the goblet

I love both equally D:

[autumn anvil]

You can buy a house in one and an apartment in the other. 🙂

Or maybe join a free company with a house in one, even.

[leaden ginkgo]

which one would u say is more popular?

[autumn anvil]

Goblet is traditionally the least popular district so it'll have the best odds at getting a good location.

[leaden ginkgo]

oh weird.. it's so pretty!!

with cute cat boys and gals

[autumn anvil]

It's probably Shirogane > Mist > Lavender > Goblet in terms of popularity. Empyreum is hard to gauge since it's so new.

[leaden ginkgo]

I haven't seen shirogane but empyreum is ugly imo

lol

I love goblet so much! and it's the least popular so I'll go for it I guess

thank you rooster

[autumn anvil]

I think Empyerum is probably at least in the middle because people just love Ishgard for the HW story.

Is there any benefit for giving your retainers max level gathering gear? Besides them being able to do the highest available field exploration?

I was debating buying the highest gear for them but im not sure if it will make any difference.. i usually have them to quick exploration. Or gather shards

[modest igloo]

!faq retainerbp

[zinc orbit]

Stats needed for max retainer yield

Combat classes: Item level 573.
Botanist/Miner: Currently unobtainable (4020). Aim for around ~3400 Perception.
Fisher: Currently unobtainable (2558). Aim for around ~2100 Perception.

[umbral dune]

Unobtainable? We need to reach patch 6.4-6.5 to do so?

[visual sandal]

probably for better gear

[autumn anvil]

Better gear mostly matters for yield on the longer exploration missions. For quick it's basically irrelevant.

[twilit arch]

problem for fisher is that it has no off hand thats meldable

6.3 would be the last set of pentameldable gear for crafting/gathering, so likely be reachable then

[steady hollow]

er

if I wanted to farm alliances for loot

do I use pf or df

[obsidian patio]

Df

If you mean Aglaia

[warm snow]

Df in general, pf is mainly for high end content

[leaden ginkgo]

can I participate in multiple housing lotteries at the same time?

[steady hollow]

nier loot I mean

sigh

is the loot distributed all alliance or just a single alliance each

[twilit arch]

per party, except for the extra chest at the final boss that's between all of the alliance

[twilit arch]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

damn..

that's not okay

how long do I have to wait before the result?

[obsidian patio]

Bidding periods last 4 days, result periods last 5 days

I don’t know if the timer menu shows if when you have bought a ticket for the plot, but interacting with any unsold placard should tell you the time

[autumn anvil]

The other way around but close enough. 😉

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a limit on how many people can participate in a lottery?

[autumn anvil]

Not really.

[obsidian patio]

I’ve seen a plot with 300+ entries

[autumn anvil]

On my current server even small houses have 300+ entrants when there's only 2-4 available.

[obsidian patio]

The next bidding period will open up wards 10-18 to private owners instead of FC, so plenty more houses will be available for those people.

[leaden ginkgo]

it's just... so devastating if plots open up in a month or so and then I bid on one and just... end up not winning it and every other plot has been bought

I'd cry lol

[autumn anvil]

Yeah, should be down to 4-10 entrants for small houses in Ishgard then.

On a fresh server I don't think every plot will even have entrants the first round. At least not the small ones.

But that's just speculation of course.

[leaden ginkgo]

imo it should either be: first come first serve or u get to participate in multiple lotteries

[obsidian patio]

New servers have their plots open up when SE decides it.

[leaden ginkgo]

maybe u get to keep 1 house if u win multiple ones

idk...

[twilit arch]

first come first server was frankly far worse

[obsidian patio]

First come first serve favored people that could take time off and had godlike loading times

[twilit arch]

and being able to participate in multiple lotteries isn't far to the people who don't have much gil

[leaden ginkgo]

well its random.. and I want a better chance

[autumn anvil]

Random is the better chance.

[twilit arch]

congrats, that doesn't mean its fair

[obsidian patio]

To put it this way: if the plots weren’t lottery, they’d all be bought out by now.

[twilit arch]

single entry per person, and lottery is far more fair to everyone

i get it, yo want a house but so do plenty of other people

you're not the only one

[leaden ginkgo]

but if every person get 1 lottery entry only.. that means people with multiple accounts/characters can be at a super high advantage

that's way worse isnt?

[obsidian patio]

House restrictions are account wide

[autumn anvil]

But really, don't worry about houses until the plots actually open up. I suspect getting a small house on the new servers won't be too hard.

[twilit arch]

people with multiple accounts are frankly in the minority. the amount of people with a lot of gil are not

[obsidian patio]

When I got my FC their medium house in Shirogane, I had to log in the instant the servers came up, my character already camping the aetheryte to get into the district.

And I still almost missed it.

1 hour later, most of the new houses were all bought up

[leaden ginkgo]

well.. it seems like the best thing to do is just to wait til last minute and then participate in the lottery with the least amount of people, right?

or do u get a disadvantage if u do that

[obsidian patio]

No disadvantage

[leaden ginkgo]

okay awesome!

thank you so much guys ❤️ I know what to do now

[autumn anvil]

Yes, if you just care about getting a house and not about a specific location, then that's the way to go.

[patent citrus]

yeah just login like 5 hours before the bidding period ended

draw a conclusion on which house to place the bet

[leaden ginkgo]

but u can look for the ward with the least people r8

[patent citrus]

then just place it, rest easy till result period

[autumn anvil]

Absolutely, yeah.

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah so even if u want a specific plot it's still better to wait til last minute

[autumn anvil]

Also keep in mind that many players will be trying to get a medium/large for the first (few) rounds so getting a small will be very easy.

There's a ton of small plots on the new servers, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[leaden ginkgo]

awesome

[autumn anvil]

Remember that there's 5 districts with 15 private wards with 60 plots each. 2/3rds of plots are small. That's 3000 small houses per server.

I don't think it'll be hard to get a small house on the new servers for a good while. Now medium/larges are a completely different matter.

[cosmic sleet]

what does the stuff in P3S PF listings mean, stuff like 'tuuf', 'tuufless', 'happy'?

[warm snow]

No idea who tf tuuf is

But happy is gotta be referring to happy ojisan

Aka Mr happy

It's probably strat names

[solid fog]

This is EW Role quest, um is this a bug? I cant fight it xD

[alpine shadow]

https://img.thaun.dev/6vai7.png

[cold quarry]

that's not yours to fight iirc, go look at quest marker

[alpine shadow]

'happy strat' is basically uh, whatever happy guide he put out

[solid fog]

🤦

🙏

[pure flume]

do levequests scale or something or do you need to go to an npc with the highest level that you can do

[twilit arch]

you need to go to the npc with the appropriate level leves

[pure flume]

is there a way to go to kugane or do i need to progress msq

[twilit arch]

you need to progress msq to get there

[pure flume]

ok

[upper cove]

The strategy of the names uses

1 sec

[cosmic sleet]

ohhh, i see tyty!

[upper cove]

@cosmic sleet https://imgur.com/a/yCdVkTW

Tuff happens to be the owner of the elemental macro discord

His strat was popularised as a pf strat fir p3s foa in elemental for English parties

The imgur link is an album with his explanation for the entire phase

I'll dm ya the link to his discord. Thats where all the macros are mostly used in PFs

[patent citrus]

if you join P3S PF party, EN community will use Tuffle FoA, while JP will use Inumaru

[upper cove]

^

Aye nvm I can't send you dms so here it is ||https://discord.gg/7XGwGzUV|| spoiler tagged so the discord doesn't pop out

[patent citrus]

If you are bilingual you can study both, and join both JP and EN party

[upper cove]

Geez.... sorry

[leaden ginkgo]

Jesus, my head hurts from reading that, are all savage raids this complicated?

[cosmic sleet]

ah, i see i see

[patent citrus]

no NA afaik don't use macro

they do their savage and extreme differently

[upper cove]

Macros aren't for explaining macros. Its more like a set strategy for placements once a mech is learnt. You use the macros with knowing how to do it

[patent citrus]

these are exclusive to JP/OCE/EU PF

[upper cove]

More of a reminder and confirmation of positions

The macro won't make sense for the most part if you dont know how the mechs work and the strat involved

[cosmic sleet]

ty for all the info and resources! didnt know there was this much to it, there was basically just one (popular) way to do the first 2 savage fights 😭

ty again!

[upper cove]

Theres many many strategies. But JP pf uses these macros to decide. And to settle disputes if people are used to different positions. For some reason people sometimes edit the macros to their own comfort and use it in PFs @cosmic sleet

So having one to follow settles "why you in my spot" situations

[cosmic sleet]

ah makes sense

[upper cove]

Tuff frequently updates his macros. But don't be surprised to see slightly different ones in PF.

[pure flume]

where does my friend enter my friend code

[azure finch]

Does anyone know how I can get the scion adventurer armor if I boosted past Heavenward?

[solemn jewel]

Try Calamity Salvagers

[warm snow]

You go buy it off the calamity salvager

[obsidian patio]

There should be a button on the mogstation labelled “enter recruitment code” on the main page

[pure flume]

i probs couldn't see it cuz i subbed already once

my friend can probably tho, thanks @obsidian patio

[warm snow]

Once you've actually bought game time you're a payer not a potential recruit

[pure flume]

i can't recruit friends that are on the trial vers right

[warm snow]

If they ain't spent money yet they're not really recruited/able

[twilit arch]

correct, you can only recruit people who have bought the game but not sub time yet

so basically people who are still on their 30 days free sub time

[nocturne basalt]

is there an efficient way to farm tomestones? I'm currently in HW

[warm snow]

Playing the post game and raids

You'll get a Shitton for first time bonus tomes

[pure flume]

where do i claim the feathers

[nocturne basalt]

I'm trying to get i level 270 gear and I need thousands of them

[twilit arch]

they'll get send to you via mail moogle

[warm snow]

In that case the only "farm" is spamming aetherchemical research facility

which is also boring af

[solid fog]

Doesnt the game start with the end of an era cutscene ?

[warm snow]

No

[verbal verge]

If you mean the calamity one it plays if you sit in the start menu for a while

[autumn anvil]

At a calamity salvager in one of the 3 capitals.

[twilit arch]

thats where you use the feathers

[warm snow]

Game only plays one of the pre rendered cutscenes, ever

[twilit arch]

as i said, the feathers are mailed to you

[warm snow]

And thats in side content

[autumn anvil]

Oh right, yeah, they arrive through mail but may take a few hours to arrive as usual with mogstation stuff.

[solid fog]

So the End of an Era is only watchable on youtube before you start the game ?

[warm snow]

You can also watch the trailers for each expac on the start up screens

But the game won't play any during normal gameplay

[jolly sorrel]

For the ||Sharlayan|| quest "Secret in the Box", what am I looking for, precisely? Interacting with NPCs? Using emotes in certain spots? Sparklies on the ground?

Not wanting the straight up solution, just want to know what I'm searching for.

[autumn anvil]

Yeah, you're looking for NPCs to talk to.

[jolly sorrel]

Thanks. I'll keep at it

[autumn anvil]

But another action might be needed, not just talking to someone. I probably shouldn't say more than that.

[jolly sorrel]

Riiiiiiiight.

the locations seem pretty obvious to me, but talking to every NPC there didn't result in a lot

No okay, I'll try more

[autumn anvil]

I found one pretty quickly but the other two did require some more out-of-the-box thinking.

[jolly sorrel]

Yush, found the first. Have a good idea of the others now, thanks

[gritty lynx]

Are there any interesting data centers to travel to in Japan? Currently residing in Elemental

[leaden ginkgo]

how do I become a whitemage? I'm a level 33 conjurer and I finished all of my conjurer quests in gridania

[warm snow]

If you don't have a quest under the msq tracker you need more msq progress

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks!

[warm snow]

You're welcome!

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

@leaden ginkgo

[pure flume]

do my friends get 1 month game time when they buy the complete editon on steam

like you do if you buy the starter pack ?

[faint flare]

[twilit arch]

[steep egret]

[rigid kite]

Can anyone link me that Elemental dc DRS discord?

[stiff vapor]

[tribal sand]

I haven't played my summoner in like 2 expansions. Any good guides for rebuilding my actions bars? https://gyazo.com/e36c0c7086fa597dc3211ceafc152157

[tribal sand]

Surprisingly helpful, but what are the legos in this case, lol?

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone from the louisoix server who can help me real quick? higher than lvl 36

[oak lily]

The egi’s @tribal sand

[tribal sand]

Oh right, they swap like midbattle now. Is it more or less complicated? Is it a tough adjustment to relearn? Thanks either way.

[twilit arch]

less complicated

[potent hazel]

it's not complicated at l

[twilit arch]

its pretty easy

[oak lily]

It’s literally that easy

[potent hazel]

probably the easiest job

[twilit arch]

the image wood's posted is pretty much the whole rotation in a nutshell

[tribal sand]

Good shit. Thought I read it was more complicated because you needed to control egi actions. Maybe that was an old patch?

[oak lily]

Way old

[tribal sand]

Maybe that was ShB

Ahhh

[twilit arch]

ya, in shadowbringers it was more complicated and lots of busywork

[oak lily]

Before my time

[tribal sand]

Yeah, I quit smn when they patched for shb then, good to know.

Off to redo my bars, thanks all

[wintry summit]

does anyone play on an M1 mac?

[rocky stag]

whats the required beast tribe rank to obtain sylphic goldleaf??

[hushed bridge]

I’m trying to come up with a female dunesfolk lalafell name but everything I come up with is already used and the name generator isn’t helping on that front either, any suggestions for names?

[rocky stag]

seems dead server -cricket noise-

[outer mural]

it is 9:13 on a workday and your question hasn't been answered for a minute, hold on

let me find it neko

[faint flare]

Ah yes, no one answered immediately, must be dead

[rocky stag]

hehe timezone issues XD

17:15 here

[outer mural]

goldleafs are earned at friendly and above

[rocky stag]

oki thanks

[outer mural]

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61151

here's the guide for names, though i personally suggest doing something random that rolls off the tongue

[twilit arch]

Can also use https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/lalafell-names.php to generate some random names

[outer mural]

maybe something in reference to a show or franchise you like too

[twilit arch]

it uses the naming convention as a guideline

[outer mural]

you can also just have a character reason as to why your name doesn't follow the standard conventions of naming

abandoned orphan, unknown past, different upbringing from lalafell culture, etc
