guys when i finish potd level 60 first time, can i join 51-60 with any other classes ?
Yes
just a question for the next series, like there was the pvp set reward, will there be another set in the next?
okey thats great ty 🙂
We don't know. This is the first series ever.
Hey guys, so I'm a new entry to ffxiv and am currently downloading the free trial, my question is i've heard you can;t really play with friends until a certain level, what level is that?
Presumably yes, though.
@open coralbtw im going to reset my progress at npc right
You can play with friends from level 1, but the main story doesn't merge until the quest level reaches 15. There's a specific quest where all three main city stories merge.
You mean merge as in join together yes?
Yes. There are three main cities in the game, and which one you start in is determined by your starting class.
i'm gonna be doing monk and friend is gonna be doing the giant axe guy.
Up until you reach a certain point, you cannot travel to the other cities, or (in the case of Ul'dah and Gridania) you can, but only by walking through extremely high level zones.
So you'll start in uldah and they'll be at limsa lominsa
Monk starts in Ul'dah, Warrior starts in Limsa.
So you'll be on your own until MSQ
level 15
You physically can't meet until msq lv15
so no grouping up with them then until 15 or just physically meet up like you say?
Only gridania and uldahbstart could meet but it'd be a hassle outside of msq progression
You can't go to Limsa by foot.
It's an island, and cut off from the rest of the cities.
lol i just got false kicked for telling the dragoon they have more than 1 attack button on a single mob, which report function would that be under?
Also, side note, if you're both on free trial, you won't be able to group up without the help of a subbed player.
what, really!?
that's kinda bunk
Support desk
It's an anti-gold farming measure.
ahhhh
kk ty
Free trials have a number of social restrictions to limit the usefulness of the free trial to RMT
Thats Understandable, makes it harder for spammers and the like?
Yes.
That's not to say we don't have RMT spammers at all, but the limits on the trial are designed to make it much harder on them.
is playing the free trial worth it or would you recommend for me and my friend to go ahead and sub?
The trial is absolutely worth it if you're not 100% sure you're going to love the game.
Aside from the social restrictions and gil cap, it's basically the first 2/5 of the entire game.
really? what's lvl cap for f2p?
60
0.0
It's an extremely comprehensive trial
You can do instance content, level classes, and unlock everything available through the end of the Heavensward expansion. You just can't make your own parties, join a Free Company (player guild), or use the bank and market board (player market).
So I can't make a group without a subs help, what about joining a guild?..... nvm there's my answer lol
Like I said, social restrictions.
!faq freetrial
All limitations listed above
Thank You!
For someone who's just trying out the game, though, the restrictions are actually pretty minimal. You'll only notice them if you want to do social stuff.
Or when you hit the gil cap
i'm guessing gil is the currency?
You don’t really spend gil on anything throughout the story so like the cap didn’t affect me that much
since it's somewhat a f2p game is there like an obnoxious cash shop in game that spams you similar to something like other f2p mmo's
Nope
It's not f2p
It's a free trial
But the game itself isn't f2p in the slightest. It's a subscription MMO
Once you buy the game, no going back
so I can't downgrade once I've subbed?
No
It's just a very generous trial
Subbing is a final decision, which is why the trial is so comprehensive.
It's free to TRY
They want you to be sure
And Fantasias
gotcha, well now I just wait for my game to finish updating, thanks for the help ya'll, it's much appreciated 🙂
Feel free to come back if you have any other questions later!
will do!
In the MCH rotation from the balance https://www.thebalanceffxiv.com/img/jobs/mch/mch_rotation.png
Why is Chain Saw included in the Wildfire window during the opener, but excluded during the "even minute Burst" phase?
https://www.thebalanceffxiv.com/ should i keep following this site for BiS?
The Balance provides high-quality job and raid guides for Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV).
yes
Yes, the Balance always has the most up-to-date BiS.
Wouldn't it make much more sense to include them in both cases?
For gauge for the robot
Chainsaw is on the even minute burst
This part. At the top, Chain Saw is inside the Wildfire window, but for the even minute burst its excluded from the window
Wait, is it because using Chain Saw pushes Drill outside of the window or something? But in the opener we have to or else no queen?
Cause you're double hypercharging
The chain saw gives you a window to weave WF and hyper
I think I'm not explaining my question properly, sorry 😦
In the even-minute burst, wouldn't it just straight up be better to double weave Reassemble+Wildfire and -then- use Chainsaw?
Instead of Reassemble > Chainsaw > Wildfire+Hypercharge
You can't double weave with heat blast
Does endwalker DLC include gametime?
I haven't gotten to it yet, but is there a certain Grand Company that's better than others?
No
Nope. GC choice is cosmetic.
It's just a cosmetic choice
Ok, sweet! Thank y'all!
when astronomy becomes uncapped, do u still need to do hunts for augmentation, or does it come aug'd?
You'll still need to buy upgrade items.
Gear won't come pre-augmented until next expansion
ah gotcha ok
hello...is it possible to merge smaller grade materia into higher grades? i just arrived at shadowbringers and collected so many materia over the mainstory and dont know what to do with it
Yes but it's am extremely small chance to do so
As I recall, you cannot fuse a materia that is higher grade than the highest grade you used.
do i have to obtain master recipe books 1 and 2 before i can buy 3+ with scrips?
It's a hella tiny chance to upgrade materia when transmuting
No
transmuting has a chance of going up a grade, ya
but as vinyl said, its a small chance so its generally not taht worth
that said, transmuting itself can be decent if you get crafting/gathering materia
as they often sell decently
guess i have to learn the transmuting somewhere
Northeast of Black Brush Station.
ahh there...thanks
So if you have loot master on does it automatically tell your party that you have loot master on
It says it on the Duty Ready window.
Yeah but do your allies see it
Damn it

Well there goes that plan down the drain
It's extremely bad manners to trap people into a Loot Master party without telling them.
Ninja loot mastering is a very quick way to get blacklisted by everyone in the gamw
Ok hear me out
How about no
There's no reasoning to ninja trapping people
There's literally no excuse for switching to Loot Master if you've gotten people into a party on the premise that it's not a Loot Master party.
I’m tired of losing rolls
So is everyone
Then ask ppl to pass?
Suck it up
Oh no
Alternatively: announce that you will pay them to pass
I'm sure no ones ever had that problem before
If it's mounts, either you wait it out until you win, or you wait it out until you get enough totems.
I went almost to 99 totems on the Seiryuu mount. Got it on my 93rd run or something.
I’m talking about a raid mount
Got diamond mount on my 99th totem
Yes.
Same thing.
Seiryuu is a Trial mount.
If you want a raid mount it's easier.
Because it's a guaranteed drop
I fail to see how this helps your argument in wanting to be a dick to everyone else
So you just run it 8 times with the same group.
No I want the omega mount
You run it 8 times with the same group
That drops literally every run
I’m am asshole I now know
Yeah, if you'd tried to ninja that someone would have called you out and you'd very quickly be widely blacklisted
Potentially witch hunted even tho it's against tos
That's pretty fucking high in the list of dick moves
Do yaw forgive me I srry
Honestly 8 unsync runs of any of the Omega fights at this point is only like, 40 minutes, tops.
You could get everyone in the party a mount with no problems in under an hour.
Maybe Less because some people are likely to have the mount already
O12s tends to still wipe idiots due to electric slide
So does the pace of combat pick up any in higher levels or is it like it is now all the time.
You get ogcds at higher levels
Surprise when you lack skills to.use it feels slow
It's very straighforward early on so that people can learn what they're doing.
What are ogcds? First mmo lol
"Off Global Cool Down"
Off globals
It means any ability that doesn't share the universal 2.32 second reuse timer.
Stuff you use in-between gcds
Some jobs do upwards of 30-40 actions a minute on average
Jeeze
Those are extreme outliers.
Most jobs are like, half that.
And you get new abilities slowly enough that you'll get a feel for it naturally.
also so I don't have like an mmo mouse, just a regular one, is it necessary to have an mmo mouse or can I get by with a regular?
Just play controller lol
Nope, you can do fine with a regular mouse.
#controllermasterrace
Or a controller.
You can play controller?!
I'm half shit posting but controller support is excellent
The game has support for PlayStation/XBox controller, yes.
I've cleared some of the hardest content in the game on controller
Because it's a console/PC cross platform game.
Dude! That's amazing!
So yeah, go controller if you want
I'm on console directly
I use a switch pro controller
i'm disabled so I find it hard to keep up with keyboard and mouse.
If you've got a PS4/PS5 or XBox controller, just plug it in to your computer and you'll be set.
Controller might be easier for you if you're used to it, but keep a keyboard for typing, chatting etc
People even done some wacky shit like playing on ddr pad or guitar controller
you're kidding right?
No
I did a raid with the dragon quest slime controller for the lols once
And they did it in the highest raid difficulty at the time
It didn't go the best
People even made their own custom stuff like controlling stuff by punching
That dudes working on a pencil and paper controller for sch/smn
uhm what?
I shit you not
Don't underestimate engineers
how does that even work?
Anything can be wired to an output basically
So technically i can track when I write in a book.
Which means I can time how long it takes me to write phrases and activate spells for my Arcanist???
This is going to be one goofy build huh
1620
360
There's even some disabled people who made their own control methods like footpedals and what not
Shits accessible
can i get the eureka armor for reaper?
OMG that would be a dream!!
Yes
how?! i cant get a job wpn can i?
You'd probably have to make it a personal project to sort that shit
Completely unrelated
Weapon is not armour
You don't need the weapon
Just level up a different jobs weapon
You need any weapon to elemental
wtf all guides say you need the class weapon
oh ._.
You need ANY weapon to a certain level
Word choices are specific
So any job that was around in stormblood
any 70 weapon to a certain level than i can start grinding eureka? bevore its not worth it or how can i understand that
And said job will need to be level 70
And you needed a job at 70 to get reaper in the first place
You have to start Eureka before you can complete a Pagos weapon anyways.
So you kind of have to start before.
fml this kills my brain haha is there any viable guide maybe?
Mr happy
gonna take a watch, thanks!
how do you switch to gamepad controls?
Hit the giant switch in character config
Oh, im blind lol thank you 🙂
I don’t know why you would? There’s only like 10 buttons total per job
It's like in normal pve in the hotbar menu im p sure
Just set one as shared and put ur quickchat in there
Whatever pve bars are shared, stay shared for PvP
/pvphotbar share #
yeah but like I changed it for pve but I wanna switch it back for pvp
is there any class thats easyer with, playin solo in eureka? to farm up the armor?
Any job with good self sustain or very high burst and kiting (ie MCH)
I'd suggest something like warrior so you can handle pulling numerous packs
thats the pallet right now xd
Probably pld (sustain) or smn (high burst and kite)
so if i understand that right now, ill get any 70 class weapon, farm eureka and upgrade that weapon so much till i can get the armor and than i upgrade that one?
Once you get a pyros weapon you can get any armour you want
weapon till pyros > get the armor for the class i want than farm and upgrade armor
Is it worth doing eureka and bozja for story before endwalker? Pretty much will have done everything else but not sure if the story in those is worth the grind or not
Yes
They get very tiny mentions so probably not
Ok cool think I'll focus on other stuff then
so i can just farm and level till i got enough and still think about what weapon i wanna upgrade for now xD they look insane holy sh!t
GUYS. So I am trying to make a steam only account through steam free trial launcher yes. But I accidentally clicked the login to try to login to my windows version of free trial at first and so it wont let me create the steam free trial anymore (no button selection for it). How do I get the option back? Reinstalling doesnt work. I heard that you can delete a specific file to reset it but I have no clue which one it is
ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED
I think you’ll need a new account. Never heard of a “delete this file to run trial on another platform” trick
the reason why is because i am trying to create a new STEAM ACCOUNT for trial
you cannot use windows trial on the steam demo version
but it wont even let me create a new steam specific trial account
because it only prompts me to log in
Correct, but you can still buy the game on steam later
the issue is
i cant download the windows version
when i try to download it there comes an error
hence why i moved to steam
is there a way to auto-input pve actions in my hotbar?
Nope
well what I did earlier removed all of my crafter/pve actions/traits sooo
@obsidian patio the error is "unable to complete version update 30437"
so thats why i went to Steam
is there a way to undo sharing hotbars??
Overprotective Firewalls/antiviruses can sometimes trip that.
Try turning them off when installing the game.
so like ALL my hotbars share the same actions and I can't undo it??
doing that thanks
Oh no you can make the bars unshared, but it won’t bring the actions back
ok, thanks, how do I do it??
Untick the shared option in the character config in hotbars
Untick these boxes
oh hey it brought everything back!
well, almost...
so there's no way to add actions that are currently not in my hotbar automatically?
Only through leveling up. :/
ah. ok.
well for now everything seems fine I just set up my hotbars weird
thank you!
How do I access hard the bowl of embers
Minfilia has need of your talents for a reemerging primal problem.
Minfilia
The Waking Sands (X: 6.91 Y: 6.14)
Urianger
The Waking Sands (X: 6.06 Y: 4.99)
The Ultimate Weapon
Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It
It should be shown under the msq tracker
if I'm trying to get wins in CC which would be better, casual or ranked?
ok, thanks
Ty @faint flare
How is "Noulith" pronounced?
New-o-lith tbh
That's fair.
Thanks
Is there a reason why I can't buy anything on the online store?
OK how do I get to hard the navel
Continue the quest chain
^this
I just did that
The next quest should be at the waking sands
I am awfully sorry for this dumb question but I've never really bothered with crafters up until a week ago.
How exactly do you unlock craftable glowing primal weapons, like the Moonlit Odachi? Do you have to progress in the crafter questline or buy one of the master craftbooks?
they're from the books
Ty
Oh, there are glams in the master crafter books?
moonlit odachi should be from book 6, blacksmith
ohh ok, ty. thought so.
well time to bug my friends to buy me the ingredients i need to unlock it 
could also go do tsuku ex unsync for the mats
books 3 and beyond don't require anything but white scrips to buy
Does race win position/amount of wins affect your race chocobo stats in any way when breeding?
no
what's the button to bring back the menu for gpose?
asterisk on the numpad
no for me?
nope not that one
yes the no is for you
turn on numlock, it's that one unless you rebound it
found it it was middle mouse button thanks :p
whatever your auto run button is
if thats the case, whats stopping me from just starting a race then afking for a couple mins while the chocobo runs itself? im just doing to to level trying to get head start
ability
nothing
it looks link race win position is tied to exp gained. ah well, guess i have to try!
well yea
exp/mgp gain is tied to position, but getting 1st or getting last is pretty much the optimal spots depending how much you care about it
but you still level decently even if you're losing
I want my money back. I paid 16 dollars to renew my subscription and it didn't even subscribe me. So how do I get my money back
Like I paid and I expected a subscription, but apparently, I got cheated out of my money and my account is still inactive
contact support to either get your money back or to let the sub go through
let me get a link
where is it saying your account isn't active btw?
you weren't cheated out, contact support but it's not like you were intentionally scammed
and yeah what jim said
Mog station
And idk why
and your bank / email has a transaction record of your money being taken?
have you waited a bit?
because it may take a bit to actually process
also did you pay for sub on the correct account etc
yeah if it's been less than 10 minutes give it a bit, or try to log into FF and see if it reflects if the wbesite doesn't update even after refreshes
SE is a multi-million dollar company but technology do be technology
Yes
support link's your best bet then
Yep already done
Now we wait
Welp that was quick... Apparently, there was an error and it's pending? Since it's pending it will fail to process and refund
I got to wait 24 hours for something I didn't do 
Sometimes technology do be like that.
It's nobody's fault.
You just got a bit unlucky
Do tomestones become irrelevant when next raid tier hits? or is there a waiting period before you can buy tomestone gear
Alphorism and Astronomy
for 6.2
They don't become irrelevant, per se
When 6.2 hits, Aphorism will become obsolete and not be given out anymore. Astronomy will effectively replace Aphorism as the uncapped tomestone while Causality will be the new capped tomestone
The Aphorism gear will be moved to the EW hunt vendors, and the crafting materials will be buyable with Astronomy
Everything basically cycles down
So what exactly does “the Newborn Soulstone” do?
It’s an item needed to complete the 2nd last anima step
Huh. Alright
any way to walk backwards with legacy type movement like you would with standard ? i prefer legacy movement but on reaper popping my Guillotine the attack changes directions
that's my only gripe with it
cuz if i want to walk backward i basicaly can not cuz i gotta stand still then'
No, because the big thing with legacy movement is that you don't walk backwards.
Back to anima. Which Alex savage raid (9-12) would you say is the quickest if you have 2-3 level 90 players? Or even the easiest for solo? (Also 9-12)
Really? Alright, I’ll try it again
A10S is another good choice, IMO
No trash pull to deal with so it might be faster
A9S can be cleared in about 2:30 with 3-4 Level 90 players.
phew...I got scared for a second there...my launcher showed this but then came back to normal when I closed and reopened it 😅
I found a party finder. We do it in about a minute
How do you put you ui like this
Mods
I mean, some of it you could do using the HUD editor in game
The entire HUD is modular, so you can move and resize all elements as you please.
The only non-original UI modification I can see are those damage meters. Everything else you should be able to do within the "HUD Layout" settings 🤔
Where in hud layout
The ui look is a mod
Default keybind should be the Escape key to open this window up
Isn’t that against tos
SE doesn't care unless you're using stuff to cheat
Or harass other players
Still don’t go around yelling about how you’re using mods
Or publicly streaming with active mods
wait so would a mini cactpot solver be against TOS? 😨
yes
it's an external website
Try these alternative 3rd party launchers.
For Windows:
For Mac OS:
For Linux:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/dev.goats.xivlauncher
Alternative cross-platform:
https://github.com/eorzeatools/microlaunch
(developed by rin#3487 - contact them for help)
Please read all the documentation and guides for these launchers before requesting assistance.
Do note that these programs, like ACT, are technically against TOS. Treat them like Fight Club, and don't be rude while using them.
Please note no staff have tested the Mac, Linux and cross-platform launchers so use at your own discretion.
That’s the same layout that pyrocinical uses so it’s not a mod
It's almost like he's publicly known to use mods
And has shown him adjusting them on stream
Again
You move stuff in the hud layout
The specific look of the UI is a mod
"Streamer uses it" does not mean "not mods". It just means the streamer is playing with fire by streaming with mods on.
People stream with ACT all the time
so just to clarify, using this website is against TOS then? ||https://super-aardvark.github.io/yuryu/|| 😕
Technically, yes.
As long as you're not an asshole or cheating SE doesn't care
What’s ACT
well that's good to know in a way. Thank you.
Can you use ACT in ps4
No
Cause you can't mod on console
It's against TOS in exactly the same way that Discord is against TOS, like Vinyl said earlier.
ah okay
going back to the HUD Layout, is there a way to use the arrow keys to finetune move ui elements around? Instead of clicking and dragging with my mouse set to a very low dpi?
I know that if you're using a controller using the DPAD shifts things over 1 pixel at a time
never touched pvp in this game is it fun ? balanced ? do others have advantages if being a higher level or do we get all at the same level
Crystalline Conflict is widely agreed to be quite fun.
Depends on which mode. Crystal Conflict? Definitely. Frontline? Mosh pit.
You get level synced to 90 and have a PVP-only set of abilities based on your class.
ah damn. yeah I was hoping I could do pixel-perfect adjustments using mouse and keyboard though, you know?
I thought it was Lv30?
No
so i can't switch around stuff and everyone got the same stuff ? i quite like that
You get synced to max level, with fixed stats.
Gear also plays no factor
It's only skill
You could go in naked and have the same stats as someone of the same class wearing BiS
The only reason lvl 30 is the requirement is because you need a job stone equipped for your PvP skills to show up
Just go to Wolves den and set up your hotbar before hand
And read your skills
They work very differently
ah so that's why I had Lv30 in my mind regarding PvP then, lol
Yep
Completely different skill kits
yeah PvP has their own skills. There's even different Sprint abilities. PvE Sprint =/= PvP Sprint
Some share names, but they’re completely different effects
The abilities that have the same name from your class can also have very different effects in their PvP versions.
i see that the 3 slices are combined into one ability which i thought about yesterday why didn't they do that but now i see it here haha
wouldn't it make more sense to have it universaly tho ? cuz why would you do them out of order
For PvP purposes only, dps combos are combined into a single button.
In PvE, there's some variation on those combos.
Usually they start the same and then branch.
Like Ninja
Whereas in PvP they're always linear because it's simplified.
All melee dps have a branched combo.
In PvE
Also pvp is more chaotic so they make the basic stuff simple so you can focus on the fight instead of your rotation
Pve isn't chaotic so you can focus on your rotation
What does this symbol on the right side mean in the MB?
I'm doing the early shadowbringers quests and I have over 400 hours on my character, why do I still have a sprout? I read that it went away after the Requium for Heroes quest at the end of stormblood?
!faq sprout
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.
As always they update the requirements every expansion
endwalker is the current expansion, so
It's always "start/reach the current expansion"
Ooooh okay, I did Google it, sorry....
I didn't realize that it updated every time
Thanks for the info
I thought maybe it was because I switched from PC or Playstation and I didn't have enough hours on there yet or something
How does one get to Lower La Noscea in Limsa? I am very lost 😅
where would I look to find a guild accepting new players?
!faq communityfinder
Look at your region map
Thanks! My friends flaked on me so I'm all alone 😦
Basically, go as southeast as possible in limsa and then you'll find your way there
Thank you! I have been trying to follow this quest marker and I just wound up running in circles xD
The quest marker will appear on the correct zone transition when opening the map if it's on a different map
OH I see now!!
how does one unlock palace of the dead? is there a way to check prerequisite quests ingame? i feel like i've been running in circles going from nation to nation and haven't had any luck finding the quests for it.

How do I get my new abilities in post 70 after I've complete the role quest on a different class?
Level up
Role quests don’t give skills
Lv70 is the last locked skill
ah. thank you
Do role quests unlock that expansion's relic set? I think shb did something to that effect but I don't remember if I'm remembering it right
Their job gear for shadowbringers yes
Yeah not sure if EW repeats that or not
Perfect
It's majorly signposted
In Endwalker, role quests simply let you dye the artifact gear since it's just given to you in the main story.
only thing that role quests unlock in EW is the ability to dye the AF set
anyway to disable right click being able to target allies ? mildly annoying to accidentally click them while spinning the camera and then not being able to attack to boss and having to tab back onto him
which is a dps loss in my eyes so trying to fix it
I don't know about right click, so if there is a way someone else will have to detail it, but I can reccommend binding your "Target nearest enemy" keybind to a key, since that will never target allies.
yeah but it's just me accidentally right clicking teammates while rotating
it doesn't really have to do with my binding being wrong
it's already set to target nearest enemy i might add
Yeah it's outside of my scope of knowledge then, sorry. Might not be a way.
you cant really change how left and right click work, its hardcoded into the game
no problem man, thanks anyway
there is a "filter" button, x by default, which you can set so when its held down, you can only target certain types of things
How difficult is shadowbringers savage content unsynced? I want to get a glam but unsure if I am just going to embarrass myself by getting a group together
You still need to do mechanics but they die real quick
It's not soloable, really, but relatively trivial if the group knows the mechanics
And you don't have to worry about mitigation or anything really
Just do the mechanic
If you're completely going in blind to, say, E8S, you probably won't have a good time even an expansion later.
Specifically eden titan, isn't that a rough fight?
Lol no
You can basically ignore everything
Don't even need to do the rocks right
It dies about uplift 1
I mean, you still can die, last time I checked, but yes, E4S is easier than E8S for a 8-man blind clear.
Ohh okay, good to hear. Thank you
why doesn't square enix change the post-story quests to have proper exp gains
They HAD no xp to begin with
because then you would be massively over levelled for the next expansion
They don't want you overleveling and making the next expansion piss easy
why would they do that?
i'm already overleveled just doing the msq lol
uh yeah, and you want more?
And you would be even more so
I mean, it would be nice for alt jobs, but other than that it sounds like a poor idea.
Even more for any roulettes
i suppose you're right
if you are on a preferred/new server, or do ANYTHING extra outside the MSQ, then yes, you will be overlevelled
the MSQ is specifically designed to basically be enough for levelling a single class/job to max
What is this maintenance for ?
Says in the maintenance post
read the maintenance notice?
notices are on the lodestone, and will also come through into #lodestone-news-na
And it shows up word for word when hitting play
Patch 6.18 hotfixes.
yeah its literally on the launcher as well
what buttons do you press now for braindead gathering of easy mats
in ShB there was a button that gave you max loot but 0% HQ iirc

What do they mean by hotfixes is what I'm asking.
uh do you mean bountiful harvest
i don't see a "king yield"
Yeah whatever the botany version of it is
fixes to the game, just wait until its done and they will tell us
you know as much as we do
This is literally all we know: "In order to implement Patch 6.18 HotFixes, maintenance will take place on all Worlds at the time below, during which FINAL FANTASY XIV will be unavailable.

tl;dr... hotfixes.
Got it. Thought there might be something more
i dont think reposting the entire thing was necessary :/
oh i see
I read it. Just thought there might be more to it
I agree, it was pretty unnecessary. Would you prefer I delete it? I don't care enough to delete it myself unless it's actively bothering you.
dont really care, but it was obvious to me they had already read it since they asked what a hotfix was, hence unnecessary
Yep, fully agree.
There's no way to get into the Deep Dungeons remotely right?
No
Is bgm supposed to stop looping?
Some tracks in ARR maps don't loop naturally and only play on time triggers.
Most will loop but, like, outside zones will often be quiet, yes.
oh ok thank you. that's what was tripping me up lol
Is there nothing you can do without a cleanse item about Accursed Pox in POTD?
I see. TY
Is it possible to buy stuff from the online shop?
If you own the game yes
yes
I have the game and dlc but keeps going into error for payment
I cleared my cache and have no vpn on
Oh then, I have no idea. It might be your bank declining the transaction
double check with SE support
I don't even put the info in yet
Like
I click a type of option of payment then says error
Yea I sent a ticket but nothing yet
are you buying from mog station/online store?
online store
I checked, it does ask for payment. So I am not sure whats wrong
I can try mog now and see if the same issue
I wanted to buy the class thing can that be bought with gems too?
Anything on the store can be brought with crysta
Are you trial?
Some things can be bought, but not everything
Oh so once I sub I can
Let me try that first
@heavy wadiWould I need to do standard or can I try the entry?
A sub is a sub
Any sub
I did the entry but still have the issue so I might need to do standard
Yea then I still have the issue sad
You said you do own Endwalker, right?
correct
And your account status shows as "Active" on the Mogsation?
I'm trying to get the tales of adventure journey stuff but not allowing me to
Why?
Why buy one or why it's not working
I'm new so im sorry if I don't understand
@open coralWhere can you check to see it says active? I looked on the service account status and says standard with dates if that what it is
Standard is no different to entry, except allowing you to have more characters, it had nothing to do with the store
On the Service Account page, do you see something like this?
Yes I do
Is there any benefit to buying the collector's edition upgrade all at once in the bundle or should I do one expansion at a time?
Collector's Edition bundles are just cosmetics.
So it's up to you.
It's the same thing a the end of the day
@open coral
I bought endwalker dlc and now I can’t login why ?
Did you register it
Any saving for the bundle or?
Register for endwalker
Register the code for the Endwalker expansion.
Did you already own the starter edition or any other DLC before?
On the Mogstation.
No
Oh nice
@open coral
Endwalker purchase isn't the whole game
Yeah, that looks like everything is in order. Not sure why you're still getting the error.
You brought dlc for a game you don't own
You need starter edition ontop
You should have bought the complete edition
did you pay for a sub
Google says that particular error is just a general "you or your connection are doing something weird" error.
my survival tome keeps disappearing in the diadem - what am i doing wrong
Could be anything from an unstable internet connection to too many attempts in a short period of time.
And also I can’t login in mogstation
You need to register both keys on your mogstation account
They say incorrect pass or id
Are you using the same login information as you use to log into the game?
Both keys. ?
Yes
Yes
Try changing your password?
I change it three times
support ticket then
What is that
there's a cap to the exp you can earn before it wears off, iirc
Yeah
i see. didnt see that. thank you
Read tooltips 😊
Where can I start Hildibrand in EW?
What’s your account status
You should have gotten product codes in your email when you bought the game (if you bought the PC version - Steam version is in your cd keys). You need to register those codes on the Mogstation.
it starts in radz right by the aetheryte

Which Beast Chakra finishers do Monks use? For single target? Aoe?
Aren’t all of them used?

Any additional effects associated with the executed action will also be applied.
Can only be executed while under the effect of three distinct Beast Chakra.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
I haven't played monk since 70 so I'm behind on this.
Patch 6.08: Phantom Rush now 1,150 Potency. No use changes.
Patch 6.1: You cannot use Perfect Balance with Beast Chakra in the gauge. No real issue here.
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!

!action rising phoenix

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
guessing you mean that
no
As a subjective matter, how do people feel about MNK and other DPS right now? Sort of between it (70) or one of my current 80s in RDM and RPR as I look to finally running Endwalker.
!action celestial Revolution
Delivers an attack with a potency of 450.
Additional Effect: Opens the Lunar Nadi
If the Lunar Nadi is already open, opens the Solar Nadi instead.

Love those chart, tyvm
this is the bad one
subjectively, I think in the realm of MDPS, RPR is king and the rest are just pretty good.
Personally I dislike MNK. I don't like how i feels to play.
all of the melee dps are fine, honestly
nope
Objectively, it's in a pretty good place right now, from what I hear.
rpr is lowest on melee rdps rn
I mean it's subjective, so
Subjectively, I maintain that Reaper is king xD they weren't asking how much damage they did.
Personally i'm a massive sucker for nin but that's just me 
by like 1% kek
I put the code but they say the entered code is invalid
I was interested in MNK again since I don't need to keep up Greased Lightning. I was planning to go RPR originally.
How's Ninja now? Does it spam TA?
fuck i didnt read subjectivly
Definitely give RPR a try
no worries u good 👍
Subjectively RPR is the most fun melee dps right now
TA?
I've run it through like 82 or 83 and I've enjoyed it, just on the fence with some of these other classes' revisions
Trick Attack, sorry.
You can’t
TA is every 60s, mug is every 2 mins
I personally vouch for MNK and NIN since 6.0, but not RPR (subjectively)
It’s also a self-buff now
TA increases personal damage while mug has the raidwide effect
So basically they're all pretty fun right now, for their audiences.
yep
Aesthetically, I'm always on MNK side, but I did NIN last tier
Damn, lol
people will doom about nin all day but it's fine, and pretty fun
though outside of bursts you don't press buttons much
And MNK 6.0 gameplay is just right for me
I was hoping they'd all suck but one, hah.
Yeah not only that. If you got death buff close to your burst window, you will messed up as NIN
Cause you put everything into your burst window
NIN is pretty nuts on damage rn, yeah
It uses Raiton now, right?
Raiju* Yeah instead of their 123
If you didn't play during 1.0, you can ignore that.
You do two raitons per trick window so you can do two fleeting raijus per window
Instead of their 123?
How I ignore it
Just click next?
Spinning edge - Aeolian
It replaces the basic spinning edge combo?
no they're new buttons
Inside ta window yeah
Also, queue pop, might reply slowly
dunno what vielen meant
It used to use 1-3 inside ta window, now it's raiju
weskalber has a vid on nin too, go watch that
Look
Yeah, I need to read up, ty
hardly the best nin myself so you'd be better off doing that 
So you entered the code incorrectly, or in the wrong place.
Hah, yeah I'll do my research, ty all
It’s correct
Then you entered it in the wrong place.
Where I enter it
On the main page of the Mogstation, you need to find the button that says... I think it's "Enter Expansion Code"
Or "Register Expansion"
Something like that.
Register code
Don't click the one that says "Enter Item Code" because that's the wrong one.
You're not registering an item, you're registering the game
I enter it in register code
Are you entering the Starter Edition code first?
You must register the Starter Edition in order to register Endwalker.
is it normal to accept 2 MSQs at the same time? im at 2.55 and this happened
both quest lines will be required before the next one appears
ah ok, its just that im a bit confused since this is the first time it happened
i'm guessing xp gained after hitting the free trial level cap doesn't retroactively flow over to levels past 60 when you subscribe?
pretty hopeful, but may as well ask
No more exp means no more exp
It’s gone, straight in the trash
poggers
Is there anyone on Faerie that can help me beat The Final Coil of Bahamut?
Use party finder.
No one is recruiting for it
Make one.
Can't, on trial version
Try it
Too lazy to restart thats why i was asking lol
is there anyway to set up a P1S waymark in any other instances?
or does it have to be P1S
I want to save it
You can do it anywhere you want to, the waymarks don't magically vanish if you don't save them in the same instance you want to use them in. The only reason for saving them while actually in the First Circle is so you can
you know
look at the arena floor to make sure they're in the right place more easily.
well you cant load markers that you saved from another instance
so no
has to be p1s
ah well disregard me, then
f
so i just recently started bought my first subscription to this game but when i try to go into lodestone it cant find any of my characters. Do i have to wait for the first billing to be processed?

Lodestone only updates a few times a day
Recently created characters will take a bit to show up there
ok thanks i will check back in tomorrow a few times to see if it has updated then

Maintenance over in 30 min?
lodestone hasn't posted that it ended early
will the homeworld transfer be available later today? it still says it's down/unter maintenance
i meant in the sense that they usually post with a "Completed Early" tag on it
assuming servers remain stable, yes
The grind resumes. Ty 
anyone know a fast way to make 20k xp at lvl89 ? quests are not an option (because i already completed all of them)
bozja / fate weekly challenge
if that counts as fast to you, daily roulette as the needed role. as a dd, i occasionally see that dd is in need in alliance roulettes and expert roulettes - often around 6pm my time
They only want 20k dude
Beast tribes if u haven't done all ur dailies yet
Yeah a single tribe quest would give enough
i just did dailies, though it would bring me to 90. fell 20k short. guess i'll do a fate
hello, what is limit break and why people say only dps use?
why there would be limit break for healer and tank if only dps can use?
its not only for dps to use
its just the main use of it is the dps limit break because it does damage, whereas healer limit break is healing and if at limit break rank 3, a mass raise, and the tank limit break reduces dmg taken by the party
Mechanically you basically never need a tank or healer limit break
so healer and tank lbs are very niche
but when you need them, you generally need them
And they're only actually useful at lb3, which needs 8 man content
So 99% of the time, its for dps
and how to i fill up the lb gauge faster?...sometimes lb gauge max sometimes not..
i see
Party variety
Not dying
so the effect is the same for eact type?....tank,helar,dps...
just the animation differs
i mean the effect,,yeah thats what i mean
which is WHY, only really DPS uses lb
within the role, yes
and the LB bar is shared
between the whole party
hence why only DPS use it
most of the time anyway
but wait, dps does varies though, melee is single target, range is line aoe, caster is circle aoe
i see...understood
ah yeah, different role types, get different types of LB
melee get single target
and is probably the most used
since you use it on bosses
caster AoE is useful for big W2W pulls sometimes
It's been like 30 mins since the servers were turned back oj
Let the initial login wave end
no, the lodestone post stated it would be up depend on stability of the servers
only 14000 dc travel reqs per minute this time
so they are going to keep an eye on things and then, if servers are good still, re-enable it
anyone know an Aether server that doesnt too full during prime time? thanks
none of them
are crystal servers fine? or they too get too full during prime time?
And no, there’s no primal or crystal servers where that happens either
It’s called prime time for a reason
ok ok... which servers in Aether I should goto if I want to join casual and active FCs?
Any.
You can always take a look through the community finder for any FC that might catch your eye
!faq communityfinder
I’m raids/trials, how do the tanks decide who’s the MT and who’s the OT? Should I turn my tank stance off as soon as someone else has aggro? I’m only just getting into this stuff, I’m sure this is a super dumb question, sorry!
usually one of the tank will turn their stand on, people default his/her to be MT, the OT keep their stance off, after the fight started for 30s, OT turn their stance on, this is to make sure they never take the lead enmity from MT but still be ready to become MT if he die
and of course there is add phase, mechanic that target second in enmity list, OT need to deal with those so eventually both will have their stance on
Ah, ok! So if both tanks start the battle with their tank stances on, the MT is just designated to whoever gets aggro first, and then the other person would turn theirs off? In most cases
guys, does anyone know if i can buy ff14 complete edition for PS4 from the square enix site and then redeem the code on playstation?My country doesnt have its own region on ps store and because of that i cant buy it from there
Oh ok! Thank you!
After 30s turn and keep it on
In most cases yes, but some people try to show you they're the "alpha tank" by stealing your enmity and spinning the boss as the other person mentioned, in that case it's best to turn it off yourself to save yourself the headache
Thank you! That’s definitely something I would have ended up doing, not even realizing that’s exactly what you’re not supposed to do, haha
no ps4/5 versions are psn only, they also stopped physical versions with endwalker so you also can't rly get a physical version shipped to you
That’s such a bummer :(
No idea how to buy the game, i want to play it so badly from my bed
and if you find a physical version of the complete edition it would also not give endwalker since the last physical version was from shadowbringer times
just asked this on reddit but wanted to drop it in here too:
but are OCE servers still dead for PF and DR?
For some reason, if I watch Twitch on my second screen with FF14 up on the other, the stream suddenly gets mad slow until I tab out of FF. I've never had this issue before. Any tips?
disable hardware acceleration on your browser
or well
performance mode
whatever they call it
Ah, thanks, think I had toggled that recently
Yep, that did it, tyvm
How long does it take to unlock the elemental armor from eureka for glams? I just unlocked eureka, but It seems like I have to finish a relic or something?
what was the maintenance for?
about 60 hours
world transfer
Damn wtf
You have to get any weapon until to completed pagos one iirc, and all logos
was borked since dc visit
yeah eureka can take a long while
Guess no glam for me then hah
need all 56 logos, a complete anemos, then pagos, then pyros weapon to be ABLE to buy the +1 armor
thats of course assuming you dont do something stupid and lose 20 mil exp by dying and porting back to spawn like i did
its fun!
Just don't be a dick in eureka and it'll be finr
That said I've had bad experiences with visiting chaos players in eureka
So this morning I put a bid on a plot that i thought was open to private buyers turns out i was still too tired to be making decisions and bid for the fc, if I cancel it or just ignore the claiming period all together it should be forfeit and not effect the current fc plot right ?
correct, if you don't claim it wont relocate the current house
Ok thank you, i was a bit panicked. 😅
Are server transfers free or do you still have to pay for them?
Cash cash money
