because if you are then tome chest is worthless as you can just farm aspho and use the tomes for other things
probably not anytime soon, but i'm trying to maximize the dps i have via gear to help clear it
if you dont have bis then just go for the highest ilvl
okay thanks
unless your bis is crafted
Just to clarify, if you don't have a bis in mind. Just use higher ilvl. Certain bis sets use maybe the crafted ring, some augmented some not for the pentameld
if my craftables dont meet the ishgardian restoration collectability rating min for turn in can I do anything with them or do I just toss them
Just toss
should i know the story of final fantasy before playing cuz im totally new to the franchise?
no
final fantasy games, dont have a continuous story
they are standalone games
unless they specifically are extra numbers on top of the regular release
like final fantasy X has a X-2 which continues X's story
there are some common themes and references to other ff games
but the story is self contained
Not knowing the references won’t affect your enjoyment, before you ask
hm mk thx for the info
needed tk cuz idk if i should buy the game or not, im kinda of a story heavy person, speaking of which, how long is the game (approximately)
!faq freetrial
Just do the trial before deciding to spend any money
300+ just story, not counting side stuff iirc
Or well, depending on how fast u read 
300+ for the average player I reckon yeah
Just in free trial you have well over 100 hours of story
the game does sound good, is there any cons (that you would consider annoying or bad)
if you are looking for challenging stuff you will have to play for a while before unlocking any hard content, since everything is locked behind the story. If you arent interested in the story it might be a hard sell and the story is slow at first but they have updated the start so maybe its better now
i'd personally say some of the systems are a bit old, and if you're used to some QoL other mmos have rn it's a bit jarring to play ffxiv
why is the msq roulette always the same 2 missions?
would you like a short or long answer
msq roulettes has only 3 duties in it
then what chibi said
Do the alarms just get messed up over time? The alarms are going off when its not even time yet for the node
For which kind of time are you setting the alarms? Eorzea time, server time, local time?
how many of those amber things do you need for that one anima relic quest?
30
need 60 crystal sand, and amber vileskin are worth 2 apiece
set the reminder to be 1-2 mins before the desired ET
It will remind you the mins in real life
i happen to have 38 of the amber stuff
more than enough
is there a website that allows you to design the interior of a house before actually doing it in game?
how many memories do you get per raid, for the resistance remembers
i think #resources has a housing discord that may help you more than we can
thats the 18/18 or 30/30/30?
18/18
3 per raid
oof better off doing fates
i know im done one of them already just need the ivalaice side of things for it
where in the screen do you guys put ur job gauges at?
personally, right above my hotbar
Yeah, the important ones at least.
For some jobs all the job gauge does is make a single button light up - then it can just be somewhere out of the way.
sch gauge 
okay ty
Between RDM and SAM which class did you guys find fun and easier (rotation/button wise) ?
Fates with BLU was much faster for me
im doing the fates now as blue but likely throw in some raids for glam
Yeah that's completely subjective. I'd ask #general-discussion
RDM you can bank your gauge and save it for specific burst windows. SAM is essentially hard locked on the 60s burst because of Tsubeme. It's better than SHB at least because you have two stacks of Tsubeme, but RDM is more flexible, alongside being one of two DPS able to resurrect.
SAM does get Midare though which animation wise is 👌
do you have to pay monthly in order to play the actual game
Yes
!faq subprice
so like I can play normally but some feat limited
Would you say RDM is more flexible then ?
Sorry I didn't know where to ask xD I love both classes but wasn't sure which to start on first
ft has a 300k gil limit, no MB access, and no Free Company access
and can't shout/tell and make parties
Cap to 60 and HW content or below
You're fine, this is more help desk than "which is more fun?"
Money cap and pretty much all the social features
It all really depends on what you enjoy more. I have both leveled and geared (relatively) so I just play either depending on my mood
okay got the game
it says my liscense is invalid is it because i didnt purchase the game via steam?
SE store
Then you cant use steam to play
You have to download the SE launcher
whenever I try downloading full game from website I get this error
Try re-downloading the installer?
Your install of windows might be corrupt
That or your install of Visual C
I'm not sure.
I am reinstalling visuals
Can I ask how you got this error, just download paid launcher from the site and install it causing this?
yeah prob
More on the window cus the average player would never install visual studio, still feel weird
yeah this is a custom setup and my uncle used to own it and had partition with linux
to be clear
if you buy the game in any way, you must have a subscription active to play, there is no "free limited mode" you can play in if you let your subscription expire/cancel it.
once you go from free trial, to the paid game, you cannot go back
@knotty swallow yeah my install of windows 7 was borked years ago and I couldn't install steam because of it
Had to reinstall but fortunately the Windows Install Utility makes that relatively easy
so I'm going to run a ShB alliance raid as a healer
which would be the easiest?
WHM or AST?
WHM
I'm doing Bunker
WHM is easier unless you like playing Yu-Gi-Oh while also dodging mechanics
oh
Granted you can skip the Yu-Gi-Oh part but at that point you might as well just play WHM
for me i preferred ast since i made the grind more interesting duty to duty
card rng+player rng = more unique
so I should reinstall windows?
I'd recommend that, but I don't have enough details for a conclusive answer.
I asked my uncle since he knows alot about the computer
It has had many problems graphically too like I had to manually install graphics for it
I'm new to crafting and I just got to 90 for all DoH, which one would be the most reliable to earn gil. I don't really need to make much but rather just enough to pentameld the other DoH weapons. I only have enough gil left to pentameld one DoH class 
Crafting is way harder than I thought 
i'd prolly have to bet on culinarian
they can all make decent, reliable gil. ultimately need to look at your own server's marketboard to find what is selling well
plenty of lazy crafters out there that will buy intermediate mats, but that said JP servers are kind of know to be pretty self reliant
so finding a good market can be hard
Okay so I tried to install it on my laptop and got the same error
My friend says it might be one drive
are the arr relic weapon quests long compared to the other expansions? i'm working on my first quest and wondering how long it'd take to do them lol
longer

even being at lvl 90 its a pain to do unless you know exactly what you need
i'm following a guide for them, but at least i'll know it'll take ages
need specific fates, rng drops, tons of lvl 1-4 materia, some poetics, etc
my current record is around 30 hours on paladin at lvl 90
great atma rng, solid fate luck, light windows exactly when i was playing
hope you've got the cash to burn or crafters leveled
my only levelled crafter is cul :( at around 30
are you on FT?
ft?
free trial
no
ok yeah then you can use gil to skip it
still cost me about a mil for the whole relic
i'm up to post shb with only 3mil gil
What have you been doing to be at 3 mil gil in post-ShB 
Do you need to beat shb to get your lvl 80 gear
ye
i was at that too
just dont buy stuff
You need to beat 5.0 to get Level 80 tome gear
artifact or cryptlurker?
msq+poetics go a long way
only msq and aether current quests
a few raids too
Is it the same with ew
ye
What I mean is... that low?
artifact you get right before finishing shb, tome gear is only after
i HAVE spent maybe around 1 mil total on stuff
oh yeah msq only gave me about 3 mil and thats literally all i was doing
Starting from Stormblood you should've been selling off the HQ gear that MSQ keeps dumping at you
Then how do I see people with lvl 90 job gear on when they haven’t beaten ew yet
ok so you're talking about artifact gear
that you get before finishing the expack, it's story locked
marketboard gear, which can be bought at an level. a bit worse than tome gear but doesnt require msq
I’m talking about artifact gear
You get it just before leveling story is done
After the 89 trial, but before the last zone
What about SHB
Basically the same thing, but you get it in the last zone a bit before the final leveling dungeon/trial
GODAMMIT DUTCH!!
The wiki says that to get the edengrace chest piece you need books from eden sepulture, but when I did the raid it only dropped a few gear coffers. Does this mean I can do the other eden's gate raids on savage for an attempt on the chest piece? Is there a way to get the books to increase my chances of getting the glam?
Books are auto added to your inventory
Every clear
Like totems from exs
Books are the pity system if you fail to win the roll on the coffers
8 runs minimum if you fail to win the roll everytime
Oh, I dont think I got any?
Nope savage, maybe my inventory was full :/
post a ss of your inventory
Yeah sure hold on
If your inventory is completely full you can't receive a book
Yeah nevermind i'm just dumb. My inventory is really cluttered
But can I still attempt the other raids for additional chances at the chest piece each week?
understandable have a great uplift 2
theres no limit
you can get all 8 today if you cleared
Oh really?? my group all disbanded so I assumed it was a weekly lockout
nah they prolly 1 and doned it
only things that are weekly locked is current expac content
since you didnt say "8 clears"
Ohh okay i see. So can I still attempt to roll on the mount that drops?
yes
Nice. Thank you :O
Alright it works now all I had to do was make a new user
How do I register my expansion key to the game?
!faq mogstation
Enter it there
ty
are job armor form coffins only avaliable from hunt seals or i would be able to get it again from calamity salvager?
thanks!
FFXIV Online Store stuff is universal, just log into mogstation and go to the online store from there
And I’ll be able to resub like that?
The Online Store does not manage your subscription.
Your Mogstation account likely was assigned the UK as it's "region"
I mean, it shouldn't matter regardless. I think.
You can try asking support.
But the region is hard locked
You can still use EU codes at least
So all three of my Trusts died. Do I have any options other than straight up suicide?
Depends on ur class, tank could maybe get thru the boss 
Oh ye u might be fine then
for the shb relic wpn how deep do you have to go for the artifacts and do they only drop from treasure things
starts to drop at 30% ish 50+ floors, guaranteed at 150+
comes from the last floor clear
back to hell i go
In what situation is Shake it Off better than the cooldowns it removes?
Yush, so normally I don't use it, but there are specific raid-situations where it can shine
Off the top of my head? Something like Light Rampant in E8S, I guess?
Or as healer support in P1S during Intemp
Oh, no, that wasn't a request for specific places D: more like a confirmation of what you said
keep in mind, shake it off is perfectly fine to use without those cds
^
Oh right, of course! I had totally overlooked that
Basically any AoE situations but unless you're in savage it's basically never required with anything more than Flash/Intuition/Bloodwhetting
And even then you might need those for tank busters so it's very much a case by case
yeah you generally don't want to purposely feed thrill/vengeance to Shake it Off just for it
there are moments where your thrill or vengeance are about to run out and there's a raidwide soon
best case scenario is if you can double-dip and have those be used for personal mitigation on a tank buster that gets followed up by raidwide damage
yeah
Unless you're the designated off tank for more than 1 minute
Then yeah feed it into shake it off cause it's free migitation
Right, makes sense. And in those specific situations, you'd know because its fight specific
Primal DC. Does anyone ever do the Coils of Bahamut raids and ARR and HW Extreme trials anymore? I find myself wanting to play them but I sit in que for nearly hour and get nothing before getting tired of just sitting around waiting for the que to fill. Usually on around 8pm-12am EST. Do I keep trying or just give up and write it off as a dead part of the game between those hours?
nobody queues for those things
That's because you're trying to queue them.
They're not in roulettes, so you won't get queues.
Not even when it was relevant content
coil, esp, but ARR/HW extremes are fairly easy to solo these days esp as a 90
so most people just do that
i would recommend either making a PF or asking in NN if someone is willing to go thru those instances with you
Gotcha. I'll try the PF. Don't know what NN is.
novice network, its concept is basically similar to this channel
requires you to be invited by a mentor, which is easy enough to do by shouting in a city like limsa for an invite
that said, can be a bit hit or miss as its essentially a self moderated channel
ok, thanks for the advice.
As a general rule, any instance with (Savage) or (Extreme) in the name is better done though party finder, as they're only in the Mentor roulette, so most people won't random queue for them.
savages aren't even in mentor roulette, they're not required for it
first time transferring here so does anyone know what are the cons of moving to a new server?
i'll stay solo so fcs aren't an issue
There's no really a con then
If you're staying in the same data centre then basically literally nothing happens
Since you're still playing with the same people
sounds good, thank you guys
i have 2000 tomestones of astronomy, where should i spend it? I have BiS and idk if there is something worth spending them for
how to switch target using gamepad?
tnx
Do we when the summer event will happen? Just some time in August?
Question should I be melding my equipment every time I reach 100%?
you should extract if you want sure
Spiritbonds is free materia
melding less than lvl 90 gear is wasting your time
It makes materia, not telling you that you can meld it
Full spiritbond = free materia
It's more useful on crafters rather than combat because you can always get tier 10s and 9s from roulettes and other content
The game just throws combat materia at you
Finally caught the Endoceras. That's 1/3. It got me wondering, is Patience (the ability) required when catching the Giant Takitaro and Namitaro?
What
Fishing
Yeah, what @faint flare said
I wasn't sure where the best place to ask this question would be...
No, I don't think so.
It's quite literally just RNG once you get the windows.
Big fish specifically have a capped hook chance that is not 100%
We don't know the exact values because it's server sided.
Can anyone help me? I got GeForce Experience and i wanted to run ffxiv from it but everytime i click on play it just opens the steam page but every other game i have works just fine can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
if you own ffxiv on steam you need to start it from steam
First off where do you own the game
Steam
Then you just launch the game on steam
Do note that FFXIV integration can be a hit or a miss
Namitaro is just rng. You need to hook a giant taki with glowworm to activate the intuition buff. Then change baits to the frog for nami
Ok thanks
Patience is not necessary
@short scarab the intuition buff for nami only lasts a min. But I got 2 hooks with nami within the 1 min. If you want you could patience > powerful hook set for better chances. It escaped on a normal hook with current bis
can also be fucky in that it thinks the launcher is the game, which can put you in a crash loop (hasn't happened to me for this game but has for others with launchers. it's very fun to troubleshoot that :))
I still need to unlock fishing. Sounds relaxing
Guild's in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks.
Perfect
what logos action should i be using on rdm?
hey guys, where do ppl get marks set up for extreme trials/savage raids etc ?
They're just field markers. You can save up to five patterns.
Most people will save someone else's layout that they like for specific instances they intend to run a lot.
theoretically
if i were to transfer from malboro (standard server) to brynhildr (preferred) would i get the general xp bonus?
No.
You only get the bonus when transferring from a congested server to a preferred, or from any server to a new.
platebearer in pyros for open-world gridning / levelling is fine enough
so nowhere to transfer in NA, gotcha
enough people will zug it and it's a waste to use good actions in open-world or on fate bosses unless you just have a ton
it's never really necessary to have anything more than maybe raise
is dps meter software allowed ?
Technically no
yes buy actually no
But if you don't talk about it, and don't stream with it, then you're fine
okay thx
yea, just don't be an ass to people in-game about it and there's really nothing anyone can do if you don't admit to it
hello, i don't remember anymore where are the time settings and didn't manage to find it, so i would like to ask if there is a way to make the server time being display in a different format? right now it shows 3:38pm, can i change it to show it like this 15:38?
i don't believe so? i'm honestly not 100% sure :0c
np, thanks
it should be in log window settings in character config
but yeah you can
can't remember which tab but it's somewhere there
thanks, i will look around in it
Are leves any use now that I have all 90 crafters?
you can forget about them if you want, or make a bit of gil (though nothing quite as good as shb era) by using them up on cheap/easy to make turn ins
Here 
iirc carrot nibbles is a decent leve for cost of mats/gil reward
🙇♂️
oh it's in ui???
Thanks for the help!
it's perfect now, thank you
wtf does log window have then
Should I make HQ ones or?
ohhh wait im thinking of the message time in chat 
what is the condition of Road to 80 to disappear? i heard its after 90 days but my 90th days will be at 26th july.. no wonder it feels so slow to level
Server loses New or Preferred status.
isnt kujata just get the preferred status on 6.18?
Also, if the class you're on is 80 or higher.
im lv 68
90 days from when you made the character?
also kujata getting preferred status doesn't mean that road to 80 will reapply
Iirc you don't get road to 80 on existing characters, only newly made ones
Only characters created after the application of the status get the buff.
It's not retroactive.
New worlds are the only way for a not fresh character to get road to X
only time road to 80 reapplies is if you transfer to a new world
err my character creation is same day on game installation which was on 26th of april
Which was before the change of status.
It had to have been preferred during that time
You only get the road to 80 on a preferred server if you create a new character when the server has preferred status
weird
because yesterday its still there, the buff
not sure if kujata was preferred on 26th april but i have the buff until yesterday
well just for testing sake, can you switch to a lower level job?
Hi guys! My itch to play an mmo is back so I really want to get back into XIV, and I'd LOVE to delve deeper into the story. For most of my playthrough I've skipped lots of cutscenes, sped through dialogue etc. So obviously I plan on playing through New Game+, BUT, my question is: Will the side quests I've skipped before in the areas still be available? Do side quests ever disappear from the map?
It was
it was made a preferred on the 11th
Side quests remain until you do them.
They're not included in story skips
The only missable quests are seasonals
Are you on your home server?
yes
Thank you :). I was worried they would vanish based on story progression
visiting wouldn't remove it
actually not really a problem, but only feels so slow after doing DR
Honestly you might just be misremembering when you made the character
you can always send in a ticket to support about it because it sounds like a bug, if you're absolutely certain you made the character on the 26th
on lodestone?
contact us > report bug ?
yea
ok
honestly its impossible for me to forget when i created my character if i only heard of ffxiv and installed it on the same day
only reason that we're saying that is because some people do make characters and then just decide not to play
for whatever reason, and the 90 day timer on road to 80 starts based on character creation which ppl don't realize
We're not doubting you, just one of those things that is said to make sure you double check
oh ya i understood, some people are like that, create first, play later
Wait there is a New Game+? I need to check into this
No rewards, only to reexperience the story
!faq altlvlguide
Hey so I play on PC with a controller and I was wondering if there's a way to set the move stick to let you strafe? I want to play bard but the non strafing movement with the bow breaks immersion real bad. I know you can lock on but that's hella disorienting
Use Legacy instead of Standard.
Just note that you can't just run backwards, you'll need to turn the camera a full 180
Huh that's weird but that's what I wanted ty! Is there a way to set up a macro to swap?
Nope
Idk how it works with controller but legacy with keyboard makes your char turn around and walk towards camera
controller is legacy
Especially because of certain look towards/away mechanics I play using Standard on KBM because you can't just look away as casting attacks will automatically make you look in the direction of your current target
And using Legacy requires you to move forward to change direction. But some fights have ice floors
Ye
And using skills won't change direction, just a quick snap then continue in the same direction
You facing target sounds like it's just to do with the "auto-face target when attacking" and nothing to do with standard/legacy?
It's just a specific instance where I consider standard better.
The E8 experience still has me traumatized.
As for ice, just change camera direction and then move
But ye it's just a preferrence either way 
Weird question but when is the summer event usually on? On the .x patch or a week or two before?
Or strafe right/left/back
Sometime in August
Events aren't really tied to patches
Gotcha thanks
They typically just put all the stuff in prior to the event and just flip it on whenever it runs
It's how people datamine event items
is there just the tops of this set for eureka bonus?
yes
hello guys, I am returning player and would probably buy up to endwalter but got up to stormblood
what am I supposed to buy
I am confused
You buy EndWalker
there's also a head piece that has eureka bonus stats, but thats from a fate in pagos
im 20 now, how do i get to the next area?
you need to finish krile's quests
so there is no difference
there is just endwalker and I get all expansions up to endwalker?
EW comes with all previous expansions
As shown in the image you first replied to
when a treasure map says "full lvl90 party recommended" is that for the dungeon that might spawn, or the encounter that WILL spawn ?
the enemies will be harder to fight as well
thank you
So yeah it's a bit of both
realistically though, don't need a full party for either
can duo as tank/healer, though it'd be best to take 4 ppl to be safe
Are you able to teleport to apartment building if an apartment is bought?
yes
Is it possible to relocate to a different apartment?
not in the same way as relocating a house. you have to relinquish and then buy a new one
Will the fees be refunded?
pretty sure that you get no gil back
does FC exp buff stack with squadron battle manual?
No, it takes the higher of the two.
The FC buffs are basically the same thing as the GC ones. The only difference is that the GC ones are personal.
anyone have an opinion on which is better? for now, anyway. still rolling for the perfect chems but just deciding between these for now
Personally I'd say the scrips one since gil is dead easy to come by.
my thoughts too, thanks
?
Was answering Hammsuke's question.
no
oh oky... so i dont need the squadron one
The squadron one will work if your FC isn't using the same buff.
while they are the same as FC buffs, they are rank 3 FC buffs
Also that
as most fcs don't bother making those because they're pretty tedious to do so
so squadron buffs are nice to get, since they're a bit stronger
but like aura said, you can have a buff up that your fc isn't running
so if you're leveling crafters, you can have the crafting exp buff up if your fc is only running battle exp/teleport reduction buffs
You can have two FC buffs and two GC buffs running at the same time, as long as they don't overlap
can you see other players in (Base Endwalker spoiler) ||Elpis||?
cool
if im leveling in pagos, and rejoin the lower ones my level in pagos stays, right?
It should, yes.
Your level is synced down in lower zones
Just like syncing down In regular content
Your current level isn't affected

Ofc if you die then all penalties apply as normal
When can i start the botany manufacture quests in The Crystarium? i think i made all the main quests but i cant find any npc for starting the manufacture quests
do i have to be level 75 for her quests?
well i completed the manufacturing deliveries with my miner
In ShB and EW, they’ve condensed the crafting and gathering quests into more broad schools. Miner and Botanist share quests so you won’t be able to repeat them as BTN.
its not like 1-70 quests, where each are individual lines
is there a way to set it up so one of my crafter's hotbars gets mirrored on the other ones
or will i have to manually adjust them all
70-80, and 80-90 will be grouped questlines
/hotbar copy ALC 1 current 1
so i have to level up botany with letters and on my own now
change acronym/numbers as appropriate
i owe you my life
Yes, use leves/collectables/weekly custom delivery/daily qitari to level 70-80
Hello everyone ^^
I'm a new player currently on trial version on ps4..
I want to buy the complete edition of the game..but it's hard do decide wut to get xd
Complete edition or complete collector's edition...I want the bonus items too but rn I don't know if I can.
I read on Google u can upgrade later to collector's ver? I'm confused tho cuz in ps4 store the collector's has base game and all expansions...wouldn't upgrade it later mean buying the game all over?
In mog Station I don't know if it's the same since I can't see it on trial.
Could someone show me how much it costs and if u get only the bonus items?
You can purchase the collector's edition later because that's just the rewards, not the game.
Collectors is just extra items
You can use the Mogstation to purchase the collector's edition packages separately.
you don't have to rebuy anything
So the collector's come only separately by expansion? Not in one bundle?
yes
You can upgrade separately on mogstation
How much is each?
like 20 bucks, check mogstation for more info
It looks like it's $20 USD each.
you can only see the digital upgrade on mogstation once you own the game
Yes
and only for products you own
That's why I asked xd
heavensward one is notable since it includes a fantasia
Ohh
the other ones are just mounts, minions, and a glam
Hmm..maybe I should then get the complete edition and see later on if I get them
The collector's edition packages sometimes go on sale, too
Yes I heard that too
So you could feasibly wait until they do, and buy them then.
they just make you pay the difference if you upgrade to collector's later
Trial is unlimited
Trial is unlimited time
It's an extremely generous trial.
Someone post the thing
Indeed
I'm having fun but the some restrictions are not that good so I want to buy it faster
If you're sure you don't mind having to pay a subscription fee to play going forward, then go for it.
Once you've applied the full game to your account, there's no going back to the trial, though. So be sure.
I moved from FFBE, it’s a money saver alright >_>
Fair enough. Monthly sub is no different than paying for a battlepass in a gatcha game.
Then it's probably worth it for you, if you're having fun.
i got the weapon +2, why cant i upgrade it with feathers now?
Are the crystal tower alliance raids not done as much now? Finishing up post-ARR but no one else signed up so far 
They're in roulette, so they're done plenty.
It's the middle of a workday for NA right now, though.
I'm aware, I'm in NA also
You might have better luck in four or five hours.
They're the most frequent thing in the roulette
Which is prime time.
I have a dumb question. I have ff14 on windows but not steam. I bought it on Steam without realizing I can't play it there with the same account.
Now I just have an extra CD key for Steam version, is there anything I can use this for? Can I give it to my partner? Won't they have to buy it on Steam anyway to get the launcher (getting their own key in the process)?
What’s your elemental level
Nvm ton of people just joined abruptly
Also finish Krile’s quests
Yes, you should be able to gift the code, I think.

quest done, can join the next map, level 19
You’ve done Pazuzu?
I can gift it but don't they need to own the product on Steam anyway? That would come with it's own key.
Unequip it
Yeah, the party formation tracker isn't really a reliable way to determine whether there are people in queue or not.
@wanton niche make sure it’s unequipped
I don't play on Steam, but I would assume that you can just gift the code that you got when you bought it?
The thing is, I bought it on my Steam account, haven't registered the code on Square Enix side yet.
Because I read it wont work
The code wouldn't work if they already owned the same thing.
In theory, yes.
but then they still need to "buy" the right launcher on Steam right
The free trial launcher and regular game are different EXE files on windows
I'm making a lot of assumptions here.
I think I'm just fucked
I know you can gift games to people on Steam, and that applies the game to their account.
The free trial launcher for Steam should update to the full game launcher once an appropriate game code is applied to the linked XIV account.
But Steam's also got a lot of Weird BS
No, you need to install the full launcher
So I could be wrong.
Yeah it's a separate product I think
Acts like a different game
So I now have FF14 on my Steam without a Steam service account, and no FF14 steam on my partners steam account with a FF14 Steam service account on mogstation
lmao
basically is as far as I can get
Is there not a way to gift a purchased product to a friend on Steam?
I know I've had people gift me games before.
If that's not an option, you should be able to get a refund from Steam for the game.
do you still get gold for new server transfer?
As long as the server is still classified as New, you should get all of the rewards, yes.
You can’t just give the code to someone @plain scaffold ?
It’s free to trans right?
To a New server, yes.
The issue is, I bought ff14 on my Steam since I'm dumb. I could send the code to my partner though.
My partner has free trial only on Steam. So if I send them the code, they would upgrade to full game on the Square Enix side, but their own Steam account would still be missing the FF14 game needed to use the full service account. Since they only have Free Trial, and you need the Full Game product to use the full game square enix service account.
so if need 5 slot materias just by request other players to meld it?
yeah i understand
What gear?
Hello I really need a bards help?
Can’t pentameld that
That's not crafted gear
I stopped playing a long time ago and seems I've never completed the bard level 90 quest....I can't find it where is it?
There isn’t one
No such thing
so i can't do 5 on it
No
So whats the last one there is?
my DoH doesn't reach level 90 yet
80
80
And it's yellow
Ok so where is that one located
It’d be where the bard teacher is
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
Mmm doesn't have the ew ones
They’re in Radz, story introduced them
Think I got lost with it somehow
If you picked up the role quests for ranged dps, you should be able to see where you left off in the MSQ tracker.
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
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.
As long as you're on a ranged dps class it should show up.
They're not mandatory so pretty sure they're not tracked on it
The role quests are tracked.
At least I think they are. It's been a minute since I did role quests in EW.
Radio won't give me any quests at that level
The lvl 80 quest ≠ the role quests
they aren't tracked yeah
i thought doing at least one set of role quests was mandatory
or did they change that
ah
Ew ones just make the job gear dyeable
amazing
is DC travel open right now or is it locked like the Home World Transfer Service?
Travel is open
any idea what the queue time for NA is like during peak hours 6 PST?
It’s PDT rn
It’s open and pretty stable. Might take 4-5 minutes during peak times.
Up to 30 minutes, depending on server traffic.
kk thx
Ironically degen hours are great for dps queues
well
Oh, right, yeah individual servers might have higher traffic than others
it's not necessarily dps queues get better
it's tank and healer queues get worse
Anecdotally I’ve had better dps queues late at night
does anyone else get this?
it hasn't been turned back on yet
Ok I see. I thought it might be bugged as it said it should be available again earlier today
Nothing said that
The last notice was that they'll let us know by the end of the week and are aiming for next week
This
well some click bait news site said it
is their a collectable appraiser in old sharlyan
but it doesn't add up anyway lol as it was yesterday
idk what that's a screenshot of but the maintenance wasn't for home world transfer to open up
Square just doesn’t know how to make a website
the site did not say it would 100% be up
they stated that it would be re-enabled DEPENDING upon the status of data center travel
the site is not scummy at all
fair enough, but you should using lodestone
and not some random unaffiliated site for information
Nope, unfortunately not.
Hello! whats the emote bartenders use in clubs while mixing a drink?
radz at han sadly
(though this is the same for every dlc)
gotta be hopeful ya know, least im thankful theirs a scripe vendor
What's the easiest healer to play
Whm
At lvl 80 in a unsycned Bunker Raid
The easiest healer to play, is the one you’re best at
If you get married, do you keep the items if you divorce
Is there a way to use this website while playing the trial only?, because it requires subscription I guess
No cus it uses lodestone data which u don't have
This might work as an alternative
thanks alot
do i get the ability to craft the red aether weapons after clearing floor 100 ?
yup
almost there
need like 15 more for wep and armor then got all the grips
what are the recommended levels for the upper floors ?
at floor 81-90 rn but idk if i can handle it
at 42 and 45 now i just checked, i probs wanna be higher ?
I’d say 60/60+
why do i see green glows semi red glows etc but mine is still white lol
different jobs have different color glows before 60/60
then they all get red/black glows at 60/60
reaper probs only has white and red
You have the padjal weapon, then the kinna weapon
You spend grips to have those glams outside of POTD
how to know like how many secs you have on debuff by HUD layout setting which one is it
Debuffs are enfeemblements
So I've booted up FF14 with the free trial and I'm currently looking through the class part of character creation. Which would you suggest for a player that wants to be a healer with mediocre experience? I've done Overwatch, LoL, New World, and a few other games here and there, but that's about it.
Conjurer is the only healer at the start
Gotcha
Conjuer/whm is the easiest healer so
So Conjurer is the best bet until I get more experienced
If you have patience you can roll arcanist instead and make that into a scholar at LV 30
But you will be dps for those first 30 levels
Conjurer is the only choice available at level 1
Hm.. I'll go with arcanist then.
eh, if you REALLY want to have the best experience on how to pick up healer, start with conjurer to get the basics
can i change my charracter's name if i use the thing that alows me to swap race ?
No
it's the most basic example of healing. arcanist is fine but it gets you healer way too late unless you're willing to go back and learn healer in dungeons you've already done
And scholar needs good resource management to be effective
Name changes are a separate service charge
Oh yeah, I've done a dungeon before that takes 40m about 25 times
yeah, i definitely would do conjurer to pick up the basics f irst if you're truly fresh to healing
no more double xp after lv50?
They said they has mediocre healing experience
If dungeons take 40mins then holy fucking shit your group is complete garbage
That said, class is a pretty unimportant part of character creation - you can switch classes very easily after a few hours of play.
This games healing is completely different than others
Yes they are, though I'm talking about my patience with another game.. New World
You're dpsing most the time
dungeons aren't really that long in this one though healing does require attentiveness so the tank doesn't eat shit
Yup, due to that "kill everything" meter charges up over time
if you don't have any experience with healing given how new world sounds then yeah conjurer's fine
No that’s not at all why
That's how every FF game is. Healers are there to heal when you're dying but the rest of the time they're there to help you kill W/E you're killing
And also to speed up the fights and with some abilities profiting from it?
also the kill everything meter isn't in any content that's relatively early
actually yes
good prediction, and accurate
but that's optimization to see how many heals are the bare minimum to get by and thus replace with damage
but that's on a higher level
The idea is to not do any healing that is unnecessary and to not waste a single second just standing there
So naturally that's gonna mean you do damage during healing downtime
uptime 
Sounds kind of like New World to some extent.
It's also just a different approach to dungeons. The average dungeon in FF has ~12 trash packs and 3 bosses, aiming for a pretty consistent length of maybe 15 minutes.
And trash is designed so your average group can pull multiple packs together.
I want to change jobs so badly and I honestly don't know why
I started the game off as lancer and I actually thought the class was cool and I leveled and played it till level 38 but then I decided to pick up ninja because it looked cool. And now I am level 52 with ninja but I kind of want to try something new and switch or maybe level dragoon a bit more or just do something out of ninja. I literally do not know why I have the urge to switch jobs and I am really enjoying ninja so I don't really know what to do
You wanna swap, so swap
That is true but I kind of wanted to play ninja a bit more
Again do whatever you want
Because most of the good abilites come later
Then swap back to it later
You can freely swap jobs for a reason
1 last question before I start: in Aether (NA), what is the suggested world for newcomers?
Any
Probably can’t get in as peak time is starting soon
I mean.. Cactuar has a lot of Spanish, hence why I'm avoiding that for example
no it doesn't
It doesn't
no idea where you got that from but it's not accurate information
Hm.. time to find another source then
Don't believe bias or unfactual stuff
There's nothing that documents server stereotypes
Cause they literally don't exist anymore
it's all unofficial, player made, and anecdotal and shouldn't have any sway on your server choice.
this is.... just clickbait
ah
Hi! Is there an /action that can toggle Display Action Help on and off? its too distracting when I know the skills but if ever I need to recall a skill, it also disappears on the actions and traits page so i would have to turn it on and off...
Well, then Gilgamesh as that's one of my favorite characters
With world visit and now data centre travel visiting, your choice literally doesn't matter
Cause you can just visit another place
And everything is cross server
You called it. Que #13 Nvm
question, do people tend to not do the Kumbhiraskin Treasure Maps anymore? I always seem to have difficulty getting people to join up via party finder for it
people tend to do them more over the weekend
ah okay ty
I’m currently level 45 and all I have done in the game is main story quests and dungeons is there any other aspect to the game that levels u up quickly I’m missing?
!faq altlvlguide
Daily roulettes and dungeons
So my friend just finished 2.0, but the quest for the 3 primals for hard are not there at uriangger
Cause it's at minifklla
They didn’t talk to minfilia in the solar
Not uringaer
Minfilia
has 2.1 msq
You were riht
Right, Minfilia had the side quest and MSQ option
I have no idea what roulettes are 
Literally the first thing you see when opening duty finder by default
First tab of it
Click and drag
there should be a lock next to ur hotbar
Like from 3 to 6
toggle that then drag it
Sometimes I can do it
yes
Now I can’t
that is why you toggle the lock, as i said
yeah the lock just makes it not annoying to accidentally drag ur buttons if u click
ye
Daily random duty in the assigned category
@cerulean snow wait why would you want your combo action away from the skill it combos from
what is the current best source ignoring scrips for crystal sand for anima weapons?
primal bits?
that is gonna be a lot of primal farming
hola friends, i was doing the resistance relict wep and picked up the wrong quest by mistake, is there any way to cancel or restart or do i hv to start from that point again? bc i cant get any further quests even w the rright wep eq.
Just abandon it and pick it up on the right job
And progress from the point your correct relic is at
alright ty
how much xp does the adventuerers in need bonus give relative to how much you get for the thing you que for? it seems like a very trivial amount but i'm bad at testing things so i thought i would ask The Experts\™
Basically fuck all
roger that
It's terrible
is there any difference between the datacenters in north america?
No
so like, the only difference would be player count?
Some people will say things about cultures of individual servers, but I'd say most servers are big enough to where you can find a little of what you'd want just about everywhere
for seeking inspiration, i assume the leveling roulette needs to be done on separate days / if you already did it you cant progress?
You can spam it
interesting
which one of the three would yall recommend or should i just go random? Aether, Crystal, or Primal
i'm primal gang but again, you can find what you want just about anywhere
Doesn't matter
Especially since you can visit other data centres now
So it kinda doesn't matter
ive played on crystal and aether
i do prefer aether because i know more people here but it really doesnt matter
Crystal is known for more RP I do know that
aether's frankly a bit overcrowded, I would pick either crystal or primal instead personally.
wut dat
RP? Roleplay. Engaging as if they're their character (or sometimes a lore character) and not the player, but of course it's not like you'll be forced to RP if you're on crystal, I just hear it's more common and there are more circles for it there
It legitimately doesn’t matter which one you choose
yea i mean you're playing the same game at the end of the day
and if you have a certain playstyle you will find a community for it basically anywhere
it also matters less due to DC travel now so like
whatever
if you have friends then pick the one they're on
if you don't care at all and have no preference one way or the other, choose any with an open preferred world so you get that sweet exp bonus
this with the asterisk that you will outlevel msq very fast if you go preferred bonus
the exp bonus is purely beneficial so outlevelling the msq isn't necessarily a con especially since most people would be eye-ing a second class anyway
You end up out leveling the msq regardless
I've seen a few people bothered by it, not everyone wants an alt, but to each their own. And yes, but you outlevel it way more with a significant bonus... this is not controversial...
i would argue it is really weird people would get bothered by it while simultaneously not wanting to explore another class but fair enough
is this bugged? how many empty slots do i need to take the rewards from crystalline conflict season 1?
oh its trophy crystals

have been throwing stuff for the past 5 mins
how do you get the hrothgar race?
off topic but i appreciate your also being a cultured individual who has realm reborn reds on them at all times
Own endwalker
endwalker? not shadowbringers? are they bundled now?
They always have been bundled
i c
They stop selling old expansions immediately after the new comes out
yeah they don't hate consumers so we don't have to buy every expansion separately
Im trying to find these beast tribe quests but cant find them
Specificly the Qitari Quests
Qitari?
Yeah
You mean the Ananta?
Oh that
they should start in fanow if you've done both of the blue quest chains in the area
Did you do the prerequisite quests
Then idk
Theres 2 blue quests i didnt do
Slither Along and Seeing Eye to Eye
i can fly there
yeah, do those
Do those to completion. There's one more follow up quest after that. Then the unlock appears
the chains continue and eventually link up, which leads to the qitari
and then you'll be able to unlock qitari
mkay
Hello all! Entering the game today. Curious: For the NA servers, are there any that are known to be "stay away" for whatever reason? Besides population full status I mean. Coming from other MMOs there were always examples of certain servers being more toxic than others.
is [Post-ARR character, EW screenshot] ||Aymeric||'s sword available for Paladin glam somewhere or is it him-only?
That’s not a thing here
If you dont like RP, dont go on Balmuing is all we can say
this seems pretty close
gordian blade
dyed version
especially not to the Balmung Quicksand. If you're from WoW, @verbal granite, you may know about the Goldshire Inn on MoonGuard. That's the FF14 equivalent.
hmm that do be pretty, not quite the same but what's it from? That's not the [EW MAJOR spoiler] ||Hydaelyn|| sword is it?
a4s
oh easy solo, bet, ty
nah that paladin sword is the same as the one in the 87 cutscene
ohhh that would make a lot of sense lmao
ex2 trial sword is NOT the same at all
