[errant dawn]

Ye it looks fun

Btw I read somewhere that u need a dlc to play dark knight?

[faint flare]

That's in the trial

As trial contains heavensward

[warm snow]

You have to progress the story to the first expansion

[modest igloo]

Base game now contains the first expac

[errant dawn]

Ye I hav the trial version actually

For now at least

[modest igloo]

It’s interchangeable with the base game in terms of content yeah

[steep egret]

its actually impossible to not have access to Heavensward, if you can login to the game, you can play HW content

even old accounts which only bought the base game

were given HW for free

[errant dawn]

Can u change ur name later?

[faint flare]

For 10$

[steep egret]

costs money, but yes

[umbral dune]

though you need to buy the game to even use those service

[upper cove]

Not necessarily. I believe you can name change on the trial

[umbral dune]

nope, I just check it with my free trial, the only option they got is to buy the game, that is

[errant dawn]

Tbh on the login screen when I press on obtain the full version I get "this item is unavailable"

[umbral dune]

account management is all done via mogstation, if you want to buy the game or purchase some optional, go to there, not in game

[slate arrow]

Buying the game on mogstation is limited to a few select regions. I'm assuming you're using a non-NA account, so you'll want to buy an EU/other regions key. Just make sure the Square Enix store is not NA, or the third party retailer is selling an EU key.

[steep egret]

the key better match your account region, or it wont work

[slate arrow]

I would not recommend steam because if you move regions it becomes twice as hard to buy expansions because of region locking. Probably a non concern for most, but it's definitely harder to purchase for the right region

[errant dawn]

So If I end up enjoying the free trial what do I buy exactly if I wanna get into the game?

Before purchasing, you may wish to try out the game with the Free Trial, which allows you to experience the game up to level 60 with no limitations on playtime, albeit with some social and trade-related restrictions. See !faq freetrial for info.

Please be aware that FFXIV is a subscription-based game, and after purchasing the game you must pay for each month of play. There is no way to return to being a Free Trial player after you have registered a purchased copy of the game to your account; you must pay to log in and continue playing.

PC users: make sure to buy the game on your preferred store (Steam vs. Square Enix Store). Purchasing the game on Steam locks you into using Steam for all future expansion purchases, and similarly purchasing it via Square Enix Store or any other non-Steam retailer locks you out of ever using Steam to play FFXIV. After your game code has been registered to your FFXIV account, this decision can never be changed.

[errant dawn]

Subscription?

🗿

[heavy wadi]

not exactly clear but it seems like it'll come out with 6.2, rather than with savage

2nd LL will probably be more clear on that

[queen mantle]

any reason to buy the latest expansion before finishing shadowbringers?

[faint flare]

You mean heavensward

But no not really

[teal crystal]

If I wish to remarry to the same person do we need to divorce first ?

[faint flare]

Unless you super want the expansion jobs that are locked in Stormblood and shadowbringers

[queen mantle]

I've bought shadowbringers (long time ago), but not endwalker, currently doing ARR

kk

[steep egret]

you, can't buy shadowbringers anymore :/

[faint flare]

Well same point, but for wanting reaper and sage

[steep egret]

clarification, ty

[queen mantle]

yeah bought it on preordeer, didn't play it

my b

[steep egret]

yeah, only reason, to play jobs from that expansion
or so you can accumulate exp above 80

[warm snow]

Iirc you can just "renew your vows"

[queen mantle]

yeah gotcha

what expansion is bozja?

[steep egret]

Shadowbringers

[warm snow]

Just rebuy the wedding package

[teal crystal]

@warm snow we want the platinium plan this time

[queen mantle]

secondary question once you finish the ARR MSQ is there ANY reason not to dive straight into the heavansward exp?

[faint flare]

You physically cant

Cause of the post arr story

[warm snow]

Wanting to take an ff14 break

[faint flare]

You need to do post arr story to get to heavensward

[steep egret]

unless you want to do side content, not really, you do need to do the post MSQ content, between the main ARR story and HW, before you can continue

[queen mantle]

as in 2.1 etc?

[steep egret]

yes

[modest igloo]

Yep

[faint flare]

Yes

[warm snow]

Ye

[queen mantle]

you don't have to do it??

[warm snow]

That's all arr msq

[queen mantle]

thought you did

[carmine fossil]

you have to do msq

[modest igloo]

You do

[steep egret]

you DO have to do patch content

[faint flare]

.

[warm snow]

You do have to

[queen mantle]

kk

[steep egret]

it really depends on you

[queen mantle]

ah, is there any reason TO DO the post-msq content?

[carmine fossil]

to do heavensward

[steep egret]

do you enjoy side content, getting more story from them, or just move on

[queen mantle]

I kinda wanna experience it but I don't know if there's anything left to experience

[steep egret]

its not like any of it is locked out

you can come back later

[warm snow]

It's all part of the story

[faint flare]

Well crystal tower and hard mode primals are also mandatory

[steep egret]

very little of FF14 content, can be missed entirely

[faint flare]

Only the side dungeons and coils aren't mandatory

[steep egret]

basically nothing

[queen mantle]

I mean, like old expansion content in wow is like, SUPER dead content, I'm wondering if the same applies here

[modest igloo]

Post arr leads DIRECTLY in hw

[modest igloo]

Hell nah

[queen mantle]

Like, not even super dead, like completely super duper dead

[faint flare]

Roulettes stop old content from being dead

[steep egret]

FF14 tries to actively keep old content alive

[faint flare]

Cause it forces players into it

[warm snow]

This ain't that kind of game bruv

[queen mantle]

Good to know

[modest igloo]

Eureka, a zone which is basically all glamour nowadays, from stormblood, still sees tons of people in it

[warm snow]

Now some older stuff will have longer queues

[carmine fossil]

you just did the oldest content in the game

[warm snow]

But nothings dead dead

[modest igloo]

I’ve seen the 56 man raid fill up for effectively bfa content

[warm snow]

Outside attempting older extremes or coils via duty finder

[queen mantle]

I hear bozja is still super active

[modest igloo]

Correct

[warm snow]

I wouldn't say super

And it'll depend on your dc

But it's still active

Even eurekas active

[modest igloo]

It’s still super active on crystal

[queen mantle]

This game kinda feels really alive, did golden saucer for the first time today and there were tons of people there

[warm snow]

Tbf, how the fuck am I supposed to know how bozja is on crystal

[oak lily]

Golden Saucer has a lot of stuff to do

[modest igloo]

You wouldn’t, I was saying that to add onto it

[warm snow]

Saucer is always reasonably populated

As are the 3 starter cities

Later expansion hubs outside the current expac can often be far less populated

[keen mantle]

kinda weird time for it to be active but I guess 6.18 got people a little hype

6.1's contents a bit played out by now and 6.25 may ironically make game look dead if everyones in their islands LUL

[faint flare]

People have been waiting for data centre travel for a long while

So they can visit friends more easily

And attend events

[keen mantle]

yeah im seeing a lot of crass travel BA and DRS and even in roulettes its kinda wild

cross

[sharp sequoia]

Hi i just wanna know if i buy the endwalker expansion do i get all expansion before it ?

Yes

[glad dawn]

hello is there any difference between chaos and light data centers?

[narrow jay]

Your roulettes should only be done once per day. After that the XP you get is solely what you get from the dungeon you're given, which can be terrible if it's much much lower than your level.

[narrow jay]

No.

[glad dawn]

thanks

[copper lotus]

ah i was indeed spamming it. thanks!

[copper lotus]

thanks for explaining! for some reason i was still getting decent xp from even very low level dongeons, but it wasn't anything great yeah

[umbral dune]

are you having Road to 80 buff cus that makes a lot of exp source to feel better than it should?

[narrow jay]

Yeah, around the time you're below 50, it can still be mostly relevant, though inadvisable. But not only does XP per level increase as your level increases, but each expansion breakpoint also sees a fairly high relative jump in XP per level required. That's why the alt leveling guide says "highest-available leveling dungeon" once you do your daily roulettes.

"leveling dungeon" there meaning "one that doesn't end in a 0".

That aside, both Alliance and Frontlines daily roulettes are also big sources of experience.

[copper lotus]

that's what i'll be doing starting from now. generally, how much runs of the highest available dungeon would i need for 1 level?

[modest igloo]

Depends on the dungeon

[copper lotus]

just trying to get a general idea if possible

[modest igloo]

Anywhere from 1-4 runs

[copper lotus]

mmhh that's decently fast, thanks!

[narrow jay]

Eh ... two or three? Depends on both the dungeon and your level. And also, it's more important to think of it as every two levels, because past 51 you get a new leveling dungeon every odd level.

[copper lotus]

makes sense, ty!

[modest igloo]

It’s decently fast until you get the single pull tank or afk healer

[copper lotus]

i'm the tank so all good haha

[modest igloo]

I’m glad you have optimize.

[regal flame]

do your squadron levels reset when you switch grand companies

[little swift]

No

[round lotus]

its a different squadron

[little swift]

It's the same squadron

[round lotus]

but the on on the previous gc stays

[little swift]

But you have to rank back up to access them

[slate arrow]

Below 50, it's not uncommon for you to get 1-3 levels. Above, it's about 1-2 runs per level, and at 81 it's about 2-3 runs a level.

[silver helm]

I ran out of lighting shrads while I was crafting. Any effiecient way to farm them? Other types of shards as well?

[little swift]

Ideally the easiest way to get them is via marketboard

Since bots are selling them by the thousands

But if you're on trial

You just have to hit the nodes

Because you won't have access to the shard farming skills either

That and aetherial reductions

From doing collectibles in unspoiled and legendary nodes

[silver helm]

is market really the most effective way? they sell them at around 50-60 gil per shard

[heavy wadi]

yes

[little swift]

It's up to you. Do you want to manually spend like 30 to 45 secs per node to get like 10 shards at most. Or also get lucky and get 20ish shards on reductions

[slate arrow]

Well the next most efficient way is via gardening, but that requires housing.

[little swift]

Or do you just want to pay a bot that does it all the time

[brittle blaze]

any have a link for a guide about bozja? and mby a discord channel too?

[gloomy iron]

I'm a newbie cleric who just hit 30 and I'm apparently one class away from getting to do whm

[carmine fossil]

you can be whm at level 30 cnj

assuming you've completed the level 20 MSQ quest Sylph Management

[gloomy iron]

I'm on controller and I'm having trouble smoothly swapping between targeting allies to.cure them and enemies to damage them.

(sorry I hit enter by accident)

[slate arrow]

Depending on your controller setup, up and down target party memebrs by default. It's best if you have the order of your party list as Tank > Healer > DPS so targeting the tank(s) only require pressing down once or twice.

[gloomy iron]

wait I can rearrange how my party is displayed? how do I do that

[slate arrow]

Character settings > UI > Party List

[gloomy iron]

😮 good to know

healing is stressful the tank died twice last night and the lnc was a better tank than him

[slate arrow]

If you're insane unsure, you could also set it to be Healer > DPS > Tank so targeting tanks is up and healers is down

Usually unless the DPS is literally eating everything they're the lowest priority on healing, since most healers have AoE effects on most of their cooldown heals

[arctic sonnet]

Where is a place for organizing parties for raids and such? My SO and I have been waiting for the binding coil of Bahamut raid for a bout 40 minutes now.

[slate arrow]

Party finder under Duty

[oak lily]

You don’t queue for Coils

[slate arrow]

Bahamut is not in raid roulette

As they were designed to be approximately Savage level on original release

[arctic sonnet]

We are though?

[warm snow]

Yeah you're not gonna get in

[slate arrow]

That is Duty Finder

[warm snow]

You can queue it's just not gonna work

[arctic sonnet]

Then why is it possible

I dont understand

[oak lily]

Just not a lot of people manually queue for it

[warm snow]

some servers do have a culture of queueing for high end content

most do not

[arctic sonnet]

if its not gonna work, just dont have the option available right?

[oak lily]

Because Coils are effectively Savage raids

[arctic sonnet]

Right

[slate arrow]

I mean it will work eventually, but it does not pull from Roulette queues because it's considered "high end" content

[arctic sonnet]

I will figure out how the party finder works then. I never had to use it. Thanks for the info people

[slate arrow]

You'll either have to wait for mentor roulette or other people to manually queue, but there's a high chance the in game mentors will just leave because everyone does it unsynced and nobody remembers the mechanics.

[arctic sonnet]

Ah

Yea we have been preparing luckily

[warm snow]

Coils isn't in mentor

[arctic sonnet]

its only respectful to prepare for a raid.

[warm snow]

the JP server do have a culture of duty finder high end content

basically none of the western servers do afaik

[slate arrow]

So yeah, if you want to do it synced, I'd recommend using either Party Finder or a Level Synced focused discord server.

[warm snow]

at best you'll get more naive sprouts

[slate arrow]

I don't know any of the top of my head, unfortunately.

[narrow jay]

The queue culture is also irrelevant to Coils currently.

[little swift]

This is basically just current content. They pf old stuff just like us

[arctic sonnet]

I will figure out how the party finder works then!

thanks for the help

:)

We'll do our best

[narrow jay]

People at endgame who are doing coils are either unsyncing it or already have full premades who all want to do minimum item level.

[slate arrow]

👍

[warm snow]

@arctic sonnet this is is specifically for coils, raids in other expacs have normal modes that you can use the duty finder for

[humble temple]

so im doing the over the wall quest in-game and i telported away to repair my gear and now that im ready to come back there is no way to get back to that area

kinda stuck and can't do msq anymore

[slate arrow]

There is no way to get stuck. Which expansion is this?

[humble temple]

heavensward

there is a gate leading back the path normally

but its blocked by a gate

[slate arrow]

There should be an NPC nearby which lets you warp back to the area.

[formal dew]

So I just started installing the full game on Steam

[humble temple]

there was one npc but he said a few words then thats it

[formal dew]

What do I do with my trial installation?

[slate arrow]

Leave it alone.

[formal dew]

So is the Steam game just installing in the same place?

[carmine fossil]

i just uninstalled it

i uninstalled the free trial and then downloaded full game when i switched

[slate arrow]

Talk to the chocobo keep to go back.

[carmine fossil]

i think it messed something up for me not uninstalling it but im not to sure since that was a while ago

[slate arrow]

You can only use the gate once you unlock Flying in that zone, I think.

[formal dew]

So are chocobo keeps like useful in any way after you get your own

Because they seem kinda silly

[slate arrow]

AFK travel.

They're still useful in expansion zones until you unlock flight in particular

[formal dew]

True

I've gotten very used to flight in post ARR

Hey folks, Do world bosses exists in FFXIV?

[slate arrow]

there's FATES, A ranks, and S Ranks

is the exp boost still on for the new phantom server? and until when will it last?

[north venture]

Any website to track those or know about them?

[little swift]

Faloop or hunt discords track them

[north venture]

ok ty

[outer mural]

you can't really do A ranks on certain zones solo

hence why hunt trains exist

[warm snow]

idk how it is in other mmos you've played, but standard here is to call it out and then ppl flood in and everyone kills together

[near holly]

is it possible to solo unsynched Rathalos EX? I tried it as war but i was unable to kill the first big ad, not sure if its just gear issue... if it is what job(s) would be able to do it?

[warm snow]

yes

but you need to be smart about it

so you can burst down the add

[near holly]

hmm will i need a dps job or can i do it as war? (i think im like 580 something ilvl on war)

[restive talon]

Does the gathering and perception stats from the Main Hand Tool for a gathering job on Miner/Botanist also count when gathering a node with the Secondary Off-Hand Tool?

[outer mural]

it is best to do it as a DPS job because of how the healin works in rath ex yeah

[boreal storm]

Your gathering/perception are always used

[outer mural]

yes, all cumulative stat bonuses are used when gathering

it reads the number, not what tool you're using

[restive talon]

Thanks. 🙂

[rough fossil]

How do I get my character to make the grunting/gasping sound they make when KOed? I sometimes hear it when like dying from fall damage in PvP or party wipe in a raid, but I can’t figure out how to test it reliably?

[jovial quarry]

I’m pretty sure it only happens when KO’d and doesn’t happen on command. Unless of course you have Self Destruct on BLU.

[vivid pine]

When will I be able to continue bard quests? I stopped at Requiem for the Fallen

[rough fossil]

I tried just letting an enemy kill me, and then jumping off a cliff during combat, but couldn’t trigger it

Oh it probably has a chance of happening then, like the other combat grunts

[worldly bluff]

Hey all, me and my IRL partner after nearly 500 hours play time have only just discovered you can get married in game. May sound sad but we are pretty excited about it and don’t have many friends to invite as guests.

We are on Omega and the ceremony is next Saturday at 12:00pm mid day British Standard Time.

Unfortunately, server restrictions. You're locked to characters who's home server is Omega.

[sick flint]

what are those arrows around some things in ingame chat

[boreal storm]

[sick flint]

cool ty

[pure flume]

what should i do

[obsidian patio]

Training stats are meant to be flexible to fit the mission you’re trying to do

I usually adjust it to buff my weakest stat

[pure flume]

i can't see rn what mission i'm gonna do next i have to do this part

so idk what i'm trying to do

[obsidian patio]

Then pick any, you’re not stuck to the stats you train

[pure flume]

ok

[obsidian patio]

Training when you’re at the stat cap moves them around

[pure flume]

what does tactical do

[obsidian patio]

It’s the yellow number

[pure flume]

yeah but what is it's effect

[obsidian patio]

All 3 stats effect mission completion

[slate arrow]

All of the three stats are requied

Flavour wise, Tactics is how "smart" your squad is

Practically all of them make no difference

I'd recommend just going with a balanced set first

[eternal spear]

guys how do i find my own fc (i'm running an alt atm)

[obsidian patio]

Is anyone else in it

[eternal spear]

nope

[obsidian patio]

Do you have fc housing

[eternal spear]

also nope

[obsidian patio]

You need to invite someone else to the FC and then have them invite you

[eternal spear]

so whats the application section for?

[slate arrow]

If you find a housing placard or someone already a part of the FC, you can apply through there

[eternal spear]

I honestly thought that there is an FC search in the game or something and I apply to my own fc and go back to my main and accept the application from there

oh

makes sense

[slate arrow]

There is no in game FC search, but there is Community Finder on the XIV Lodestone site

[boreal storm]

You can’t do that unless you have another member to apply to or FC housing

[oak lily]

Just ask here @shell grove

why is the ultimate weapon boss so annoying 😦

[outer mural]

what's giving you trouble

[primal snow]

I get it down to the last 3rd and it just one shots me

[boreal storm]

Sounds like you aren’t stacking

[oak lily]

Porta Decumana or the solo instance against ?

[half rivet]

ive been assuming the bottom part this whole time but just wanna confirm, which part of this is the reward for queueing tank?

[primal snow]

Porta Decumana

[oak lily]

Is it the Ultima charge

Because an lb is needed

[outer mural]

bottom part yes

caption that says adventurer in need refers to the bottom

[primal snow]

how do I add my limit break?

[outer mural]

actions -> general

[boreal storm]

Okay are you a dps or no, because if not

[half rivet]

thx

[primal snow]

thanks I just added it hopefully it helps

[oak lily]

Are you a dps @primal snow

[primal snow]

yea dragoon

[boreal storm]

Surprised the NPC dps didn’t handle it

[primal snow]

like It does this random attack and I die and I can't dodge said attack

[primal snow]

like I get it to a certain part of it's health and it wrecks me every time and its an attack that happens like instantly

[autumn anvil]

Maybe you're just severely undergeared? Is your gear repaired?

[half rivet]

is the "adventurer in need" buggy or something? cause ive literally been in queue 10 minutes as a tank in need

[boreal storm]

Okay then it’s definitely a mechanic you’re missing

[autumn anvil]

"In need" means "was in need a few minutes ago" but as soon as something becomes "in need" a bunch of that role will queue up.

[half rivet]

but it still says tanks in need 10 minutes later O.o

[autumn anvil]

So generally whichever is not actually shown as 'in need' between tank/healer is actually the one that queues faster.

[half rivet]

unless it's quite a long time between refreshes

having said that, i almost always get instant queues for heals in need, but tank is almost always like this lately

[autumn anvil]

I think it just defaults to tank when there's not a lot of people in queue in general.

[jovial quarry]

Either way, once you queue up, it locks you in for that AiN bonus even if it changes while you’re in queue.

[primal snow]

like I am able to take all of his hits expect this one attack

[boreal storm]

Okay, but it would really help for you to actually tell us what is happening on screen before you died. Because you’ve given us no real clues so far

[slate arrow]

Every mechanic has a solution, you're likely not paying attention to the right things.

[warped haven]

what is this raised floor? Is it sunken slanted walls?

[primal snow]

thats fair but I am also legit scratching my head at what I am missing. Like I dodge all the laster hits and the screen will go white then black then it restarts

[slate arrow]

Are the NPCs saying anything

Are you paying attention to Hydalyn

[primal snow]

Hydalyn hasn't said anything yet

I think it's the last part because it's after the elevator goes up and the arena is on fire

[autumn anvil]

The only thing I can think of that's somewhat quick is the Citadel Buster for which the answer is just 'don't stand in front of the boss'.

That's the main 'big damage' mechanism in that part of the fight.

[upbeat patio]

best way to level from 50-60 ?

[autumn anvil]

First job? Main story. Alt jobs? Level 51-59 dungeons.

[boreal storm]

Still dungeons

[mystic merlin]

Random question: Anyone know of any orchestrons that sound like synthwave/cyber punk style music?

[slate arrow]

O11/o12, The Twinning, 90 Bonus dungeon

[mystic merlin]

[oak lily]

[barren granite]

what is the item that allows players to float ?

[twilit arch]

emote from the omega statue

[barren granite]

whats the emote ?

float ?

[twilit arch]

omega simulations, the float is the end part of the emote

since its a persistent emote

[boreal storm]

The statue is $250, and not being sold currently I believe

[barren granite]

oh its a bonus item thingy ?

for buying a statue ?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[delicate raft]

is it even possible to clear TEA without a static?

[oak lily]

Yes?

People do PF’s all the time

[delicate raft]

ah. i just never see fresh progs

i have like the world's worst schedule

[boreal storm]

You can make the PF yourself

[delicate raft]

ya i was just wondering like if it was something ppl did or if the PFs were like for their statics/etc

i want 2 clear TEA so bad its' insane

[barren granite]

dontr go crazy over it

[delicate raft]

yeah lol

it's like really frustrating tho. i've tried progging and doing practices and watching videos they jsut never get anywhere

i just want the weapon for glam lol .

[barren granite]

de4synth fish ?

o ya didnt see that on the right click for fish .. lol

cool

i jsut seel em

[topaz veldt]

Desynthing is most of what I do with it, I can always use the sands from them anyway

Not sure if some are still used as culinarian mats or not

I think some can be used/desynthed for canvas mats? Idk tbh

[barren granite]

suitable for printing yes

[leaden ginkgo]

do different worlds in a data center share the same marketplace?

[heavy wadi]

no

each world has a different mb

[leaden ginkgo]

can I visit a world and sell stuff or buy stuff in it?

[boreal storm]

You can’t use retainers on other worlds
So you can only buy

[leaden ginkgo]

okay thanks ❤️

[north venture]

Yo, can I jump worlds as a free trial?

[faint flare]

yes

[fallen pumice]

does anyone who play scholar know the diffrence between summoning fairy eos and selene? i see these two skills but they don't tell each other apart

[twilit arch]

there isnt any

[jovial quarry]

There is no mechanical difference. Just cosmetic.

Pick the color you like more

[fallen pumice]

oh cool :)

[leaden ginkgo]

Can anyone help, am doing the sightseeing log just one more to get Realm Reborn #34 camp overlook & going to where the vista is supposed to be at 17.1 16.4 no vista appears?? I have the timings of it but it never says you have arrived at the vista, Is anyone else having this problem or has it moved? any help muchly appreciated ty 🙂

[warm snow]

Have to get 1-20 to unlock the rest of the arr vistas

Because arr says fuck yoi

[leaden ginkgo]

I unlocked them all and have done all 79 but I can't do #34 bc the vista just doesnt appear

[upbeat patio]

best level 50 dungeon to do ?

[topaz veldt]

For?

Is this for leveling?

[upbeat patio]

yes

[faint flare]

none

aurum vale

you do aurum vale for levelling to 51

[north venture]

So, if there is a Rank A hunt in front of me, how can I ask people to come and help me?

[upbeat patio]

i'm 52 jsut playign with some one that is level 50

[faint flare]

you never do level cap dungeons

they're shit for xp

[boreal storm]

That doesn’t change what we said

[faint flare]

so you spam the dungeon prior to them. which is aurum

[upbeat patio]

kk

[boreal storm]

/shout

[north venture]

I am in a free trial unluckily, sad, thanks for the info tho

[bold echo]

Does nidhogg mount play dragonsong

[boreal storm]

No, it does free fall

[bold echo]

Damn does the final gold mount bird just play the opening theme

[twilit arch]

no

it plays prelude-discoveries

[upbeat patio]

where do i unlock it ?

[topaz veldt]

Vesper bay, talk to nedrick

I think

He actually has a bunch of your ARR dungeon unlocks now that I think about it

[cosmic lake]

Hey guys new player here looking for some advice. Just beat HW and doing my first relic Anima quest? Just hit the portion where you need the x10 Unidentifiable items in addition to the other items x4. Have the latter, but opposed to exchanging poetics for the x10 I heard they drop from Alexander Raids? Anyone specifically which ones? I just unlocked Savage Alexander Creator, but wasn't sure where to go and online research shows gear loot only.

[faint flare]

the 4th fight of each tier drops the precision items you exchange for the item iirc

where do i find it ?

[obsidian patio]

I linked the quest

It’s in the log section of menus

[steady hollow]

for Tower raid

unsynced or synced

I'm aware synced gives you healer lb3

[narrow jay]

with regards to what

[obsidian patio]

Which tower, paradigm’s breach?

[steady hollow]

Tower at Paradigm's Breach

yeah

[narrow jay]

No I figure that, what's the purpose.

[obsidian patio]

If you can get like 10-12 people it’ll be much faster than sync

[steady hollow]

yeah but isn't raid tough

[boreal storm]

Lol no, it’s an alliance raid

[obsidian patio]

Nah

[steady hollow]

alright

[twilit arch]

its an alliance raid

so, no its not

[narrow jay]

It's only tough if people don't know how to do things, otherwise it's just a bit long because bosses are HP padded.

Not like, "we padded their HP", just they were designed to take a longass time to beat for no actual reason.

[boreal storm]

The only reason you’d need to heal lb is if people don’t know what they’re doing, and keep dying

[junior steppe]

something must be wrong with my computer, bc i don't see a way to uninstall ffxiv-- only the immerse audio pack

[tepid pulsar]

this installation is genuinely harder than getting a game from 17 years ago to run on windows 10
has anybody complained of issues about the steam key installing the game?
the installer just crashes every time i put in a key

[junior steppe]

i am not on steam

[remote lintel]

try entering the key in mogstation

[remote lintel]

not even in control panel?

[junior steppe]

no

[remote lintel]

what about program files > square enix > ff14 > uninstaller

[junior steppe]

i looked in my square enix program folder but idk where to look after that

it gives me the option for boot or game

[tepid pulsar]

that worked 💯

[junior steppe]

again, i do not use the steam version

there are no common resdistributables

this is all i have

[tepid pulsar]

are friend codes sacred by any means?

or do i just ask anybody for one for a lil bit of free sh

[remote lintel]

im not using the steam version either thats literally the exact same path

your install is fucked up

[ember gull]

Gonna ask a prolly silly question. So if your feeling burnout and want to take a break from 14.

But when should you get back to the game?

When there is a big event?

[oak lily]

Whenever you want

[junior steppe]

because if it is, then it may just be a massive pain since i have my program files in one folder and my character data in a documents folder

[ember gull]

I mean say you clear the story of EW and post.

Then what would be the point to return to?

[twilit arch]

the answer really doesn't change, whenever you feel like playing again

[ember gull]

I see

[faint flare]

Whatever content interests you

Like raid tiers or whatever

[ember gull]

But how is it that people stick by 6 months

[twilit arch]

they have shit in game they still wanna do

[ember gull]

Like 6 month subs.

[heavy wadi]

we do high end raiding.

[faint flare]

Cause they have content they want to-do

[heavy wadi]

and content to do.

[faint flare]

Like raids

[twilit arch]

or friends they play with

[faint flare]

Or playing with friends

Especially with dc travel now

[ember gull]

I see

Ight that's all

[junior steppe]

no kidding...

[urban grotto]

can I solo POTD?

[faint flare]

With high Aetherpool yes

[urban grotto]

whats that?

[boreal storm]

Yes, that’s how you get the necromancer title

[faint flare]

Your gear strength

[urban grotto]

can I do it unsynced?

[faint flare]

No

Cause you're capped to 60 in potd

[boreal storm]

And no, BLUs aren’t allowed

[faint flare]

That's why necromancer is the hardest titles

[urban grotto]

ah.

ok, thanks!

is there any benefit to doing command missions daily?

[boreal storm]

You level your squadron, that’s it

[urban grotto]

ah ok

[steady hollow]

hey would it be easier for me to get a whole party than a alliance

[boreal storm]

Queue times have many factors

[hollow inlet]

For the ShB relics, I need to get bitter memories. I did a level 60 dungeon but one didn’t drop. Is there only a chance to get them?

[faint flare]

It has to be synced

As stated

And ofc enough inventory space to receive it

[hollow inlet]

Oh it does? I did it unsynced

[faint flare]

Yes, it said when you picked it up

You can't unsync ANY step

[hollow inlet]

I tend to not read those, eh heh…

[heavy wadi]

there are no steps you can unsync for shb.

[faint flare]

Black text boxes = important

Cause it's system info

[hollow inlet]

This is my first ShB relic

[primal snow]

Hey where does one get other flying mounts?

[faint flare]

Literally kinda anywhere

[oak lily]

Every mount flies

Once you unlock it

[faint flare]

https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts

List of every mount

[boreal storm]

All of which fly

[primal snow]

Thanks 😊

[urban isle]

How different was healing back in ARR compared to now? When i watch old videos i notice healers would just wait around and not dps

[obsidian patio]

You had much less MP tools back then

[faint flare]

And cleric stance existing

[obsidian patio]

And healers had a stance-like ability that essentially swapped out their ability to do healing with being able to do damage

[twilit arch]

also people just being badder in general :d

[faint flare]

People didn't start experimenting with healer dps until Heavensward

[noble epoch]

Quick question, my friend is trying to play the MSQ, but it's telling him to equip lvl 5 gear in head, arm, etc. He hasn't been able to get a headpiece, where could he get one at lvl 5?

[faint flare]

The vendor nearby

As the npc said

That's all you need to do, buy a head piece

[noble epoch]

kk

ty

[boreal storm]

Item level, not equip level

[grim maple]

how hard r endwalker dungeons? can i complete them without a guide? i just unlocked dungeon #2 but would like to not spoil myself watching a guide if possible

i don't expect them to be too difficult but dungeon #1 was intense blind

[oak lily]

Just do em’

[grim maple]

alright

[oak lily]

Yeah, 81 has a rough pull at the end

[faint flare]

Dungeons are literally just dungeons

They never get any harder than the other

[grim maple]

sounds good

[faint flare]

They're the lowest of the casual content and telegraphed harder than anything else

[balmy fiber]

Can i use NG+ to skip to EW's final solo instance?

[boreal storm]

No

[balmy fiber]

AAAAA

[oak lily]

You can go to that section

But you’d need to complete up to there

[pallid hamlet]

what is going on, I am lvl 70 and have a ilvl of 370 and don't meet the requirements to enter snowcloak unsynced 😵‍💫

[boreal storm]

Because You didn’t turn on Unsync?

[patent citrus]

What's the warning?

Take a screenshot

[gray umbra]

How does gathering/crafting scrips work? I see there are different colours and so on

[patent citrus]

Purple is only for LV 90 stuffs

White is non LV 90

[boreal storm]

You get a different kind at lvl cap

Oh so you need to have a crafter AND a gatherer to level 50 first?

[boreal storm]

No. once they’re unlocked, they’re unlocked for good

[supple pumice]

should i buy the lvl 58 gathereres clothes for lvling ?

[patent citrus]

ishgard restoration? yeah that looks like the level when you should upgrade your gears

[supple pumice]

yeah

[patent citrus]

cause you'll want to aim for lv 60 nodes for your lv 60 crafting materials

[supple pumice]

ok i'll buy the one with seals

[boreal storm]

You mean scrips right

[supple pumice]

oh yeah

i meant those ones

[blissful grove]

I'm level 80 on sage right now and trying to get to 81. If I did all my roulettes do I just spam Mt. Gulg or do the 80 dungeons give the same amount of exp?

[umbral dune]

If you have seal to spare then why not, the lvl 60 scrip gear is not fully shareable between DoH, the left side, from 70 it will so if you can last until there, buy scrip gear

80 dungeon give shit exp

[modest igloo]

lvl 80 dungeons give awful exp, do the 79 one

[blissful grove]

Welp, more runs of Vauthry screaming at me then.

[versed kraken]

Can you potentially get mounts from Retainers?

[patent citrus]

I only received furniture/glamour/minion so far

most of the time just crafting mats

[midnight grotto]

what is "radio" for uwu?

[modest igloo]

trigonometry for titan gaols

is the exp for level 70 levequests in crystarium just specifically shit?

Hello, anyone from SEA who has FFXIV on Steam? I have some questions with regards to purchasing stuff

[robust crow]

just ask

[last mural]

Should i just buy Swords to desynth since they cost only 7? Or do they have a lower rate of getting primal materials than other weapons?

[obsidian patio]

From my personal experience, they’re the same rate or only slightly lower than other weapons

[boreal storm]

For all we know it’s the same

[last mural]

Aight, thanks

[spring oasis]

nvm again
thought I can find the deepshadow armor sets dunno where they are at

[jovial quarry]

Deepshadow should be in the hunt vendors in Crystarium/Eulmore.

Buy with sacks of nuts from ShB/EW hunt bills/elite ranks.

[spring oasis]

ye ty

[queen mantle]

spoilerless story question: does heavansward and the newer expansion build on the ARR story or is the ARR story kinda just irrelevant now and I don't need to know anything other than primals are a thing?

[boreal storm]

The story is linear, everything matters eventually

[modest igloo]

arr is setup for everything

theres shit that endwlaker develops on that happens in arr

[queen mantle]

what about the 1.0 story? Silvertear lake still important?

[boreal storm]

You’ll see

[queen mantle]

kk

i.e read everything

gotcha

[modest igloo]

yep

[queen mantle]

that'll be a huge fucking shift away from WoW's monster of the month story -_-

thank heavans lol

[modest igloo]

wipe the wow mentality away, thats the truth

[queen mantle]

It's so refreshing

[boreal storm]

This is a Final Fantasy game, remember that

[queen mantle]

SOO REFRESHING

It's like a legitimate breath of fresh air in a stale medium

[modest igloo]

wow is the odd man out tbh

ffxi was very story focused too

[queen mantle]

I mean, the big MMO's of today, WoW, BDO, GW2

the story is kinda meh

and who cares most of the time

[modest igloo]

seems backwords af to me

i came to ffxiv for story, nothing else

got more than i bargained for there

[queen mantle]

I mean BDO is an open world sandbox, the story is what you make of it

But that's kind of the point

New World is the same

[novel basin]

anyone know how to unlock the howling eye?

[boreal storm]

The story

[umbral dune]

doing MSQ or you mean the hard version, 8 man?

[novel basin]

no normal unlock im new lol

[oak lily]

What do I do with Bozjan Coins and Garlemald Synthetic Fiber

[umbral dune]

then MSQ, around level 45 I think

[jade lily]

What's the best way to get Timeworn artifacts for the Resistance weapon?

[humble compass]

How about ESO?

[queen mantle]

is that still going strong?

I assume it is, haven't played, is the story good?

[humble compass]

I think it still running

I heard some expansion is pretty good

[obsidian patio]

If you can manage it, making a PF to run Delubrum makes it go by decently “fast”.

If not, then you’ll just have to trudge through POTD

[humble compass]

Morrowind and Elsweyr expansion is very interesting.

[jade lily]

How many does one Delubrum give?

[obsidian patio]

3

[jade lily]

;w;

[obsidian patio]

Might be 5, not sure if they buffed it an extra time

But definitely 3 or more

[jade lily]

I might have to try tomorrow. But earlier I tried queuing up for it and only found like 3 other people

[modest igloo]

correct

thats why you use party finder

[oak lily]

Where do I use Bozjan coins

[modest igloo]

DR pops at 10 min ques regardless of how many people are in the que

[obsidian patio]

Plain coins are used in Bozja at the main camp

[rigid notch]

can i get the virtu sage set without being level 90? since its pretty much the AF armor

[obsidian patio]

They buy i495 gear and can be augmented to give a faster GCD in bozja content

[jade lily]

That I didn't know, that's really cool

[obsidian patio]

Yes, since the virtu gear is level 1

[rigid notch]

pooog

[jade lily]

That'd just be better than using current gear like 580 stuff right, since its synched?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[rigid notch]

time to farm pvp for reaper and sage set

[obsidian patio]

Bozja uses preset stats, so only gear with Bozja Haste on it is better than other stuff

[oak lily]

What about Garlean Synthetic Fiber?

[obsidian patio]

3 of those are used in a sidequest to give your holster 10 more units of space

It’s in Gangos

How long dod lottery last?

[modest igloo]

same as all the others

5 days on 4 days off

[steep egret]

pretty sure lottery timing had nothing to do with the changes to housing allocations

in fact, pretty sure the allocation changes were done literally as the lottery period started on purpose

[half rivet]

so, where do you input expansion registration codes now? i went to the mogstation and the button i'm supposed to click on isnt there

like, the help article says it should be under registration codes next to pre order bonus and item, but those are the only 2 options i see

[steep egret]

you.. put them in mogstation, i dont believe this has changed

[obsidian patio]

Are those the only buttons? what does the whole page look like for you.

It should be under "Games & Additional Services" directly below that.

[half rivet]

nvm i found it, i overlooked a button when i went into the additional expansions option earlier

thought i only saw links back to purchasing it but there's another link in there to enter a code, my bad

im dumb -_-

they do need to update their help articles though, has a screenshot showing it's supposed to be under that group in it and everything

[lunar flare]

might be a stupid question, but can you buy a subscription on one card (payment method), and then expansions on another?

or are the subscriptions + expansions always bundled anyways

[half rivet]

when you buy an expansion it asks for the payment method then

[obsidian patio]

subscription isn't tied to expansions

they're separate payments.

[half rivet]

ive got my expansion on my debit card and i just paid for an expansion through paypal

[lunar flare]

thanks. also the endwalker jobs are available given that you have a lvl 70 class, even if you aren't up to endwalker correct? you just need to own it presume

[slate arrow]

Yep

[lilac wraith]

What's the most profitable gatherer? I might have destroyed the market on my main money maker and need something else while it attempts to recover lol

[obsidian patio]

Market dependent. A couple ARR big fish can be big earners due to being desynth fodder that can become glamour items.

[lilac wraith]

Oh wow, low level fishing?

[obsidian patio]

well, need at least 50 with decent stats, but yeah

[half rivet]

in that line of thinking. how hard is it to get that fishing achieve mount

[lilac wraith]

Nice, sounds way more fun than spending another 20 hours in diadem as a miner

which one, the 8k points from ocean fishing?

[half rivet]

i havent messed with any of the crafting/gathering profs so i dont have any kind of scale looking at the points or w/e

the shark thing

something about making a certain amount of points in one sitting i think?

[obsidian patio]

if you don't have Double Hook and Identical Cast, then you're depending a LOT on the boat giving triple spectrals

and just good rng in general

[half rivet]

oh so it has the potential to be quite difficult then?

[lilac wraith]

What's teh best way to level fishing? I've only been messing with the other gatherers in diadem. Is it diadem as well?

[obsidian patio]

Ocean Fishing is a very low-effort high-reward method every 2 hours.

[lilac wraith]

I barely touched fishign when I played before and that was over a year ago now lol

[solemn jewel]

Leves and ocean fishing

[obsidian patio]

it's 15 minutes of work for multiple levels

[lilac wraith]

Ah, I see. So no diadem

I'll look into those. Thanks guys!

[obsidian patio]

diadem isn't great experience for gatherers in general

[umbral dune]

or you can just GC turn-in, slowly leveling it

[solemn jewel]

Triple turn in leves are nutty

[obsidian patio]

it's efficient because you can use said materials for your gatherers.

[storm plume]

Can housing NPCs be placed in Free Company estates?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[storm plume]

cool, thank you

[regal flame]

can u own a personal house & apt at the same time

[heavy plume]

hey, i was wondering if me & my partner can upgrade our eternal bonding plan later on? (e.g. getting the free plan now and a paid one later)

[solemn jewel]

yes

[regal flame]

preesh

[solemn jewel]

i think u can also own a FC room

[hard patrol]

hey im a rly new player, just unlocked ruby carbuncle and not sure why but I cannot use it? sorry probs a dumb q

[obsidian patio]

You have to use Aethercharge first

[solemn jewel]

u have to first summon ur normal carbuncle for battle, then as wynne said, aethercharge in battle to summon the ruby one

[obsidian patio]

right across the tomestone people

(X:10.8 Y:9.9)

[hard patrol]

Thank you guys!

[obsidian patio]

What dialogue does Rashti say?

[dapper cosmos]

when i was in ARR there were lots of side dungeons that i didnt unlock. should i unlock them now? (i am at HW and i am level 54)

[weary wadi]

Any tank mains I can ask for some advice?

[steep egret]

they are fun, and means your Leveling Roulette has more options in it,
so yea, id suggest unlocking them,
you dont actually need them for anything though

[dapper cosmos]

ok thanks!

[steep egret]

there would be plenty of tank mains here, ask the question and someone will probably answer.

[dapper cosmos]

also i didnt unlock potd should i?

[modest igloo]

if you want to sure

[dapper cosmos]

does it give good exp?

[steep egret]

same answer, isn't needed for anything, but is fun,
side content, is entirely optional,
POTD can come in handy for levelling other classes/jobs from 1-50, since options are limited at lower levels

[modest igloo]

that gives a better breakdown of it

[dapper cosmos]

alr thank

[steep egret]

i played tanks originally in POTD, because i wasn't used to tanking, since there is no actual requirement for tanks in there, so no stress 🙂

[dapper cosmos]

should i solo it?

[steep egret]

i find POTD is nice for getting used to a class/job you aren't comfortable with, in a group setting, but with basically no stress because no one needs you there

since POTD can be done with 4 dps

[autumn anvil]

No. Especially not when you first unlock it.

[dapper cosmos]

alright

[autumn anvil]

Solo is like 'challenge mode'.

[steep egret]

solo is difficult, definitely

getting to level 200 in POTD solo is still probably one of the hardest challenges in the game

[weary wadi]

Okay so as a tank main I've realized I struggle in dungeons with 2 tanks any like tips or things you guys do to be mindful of the other tank? Also should I be using my stance if the other tank is main tanking?

[steep egret]

you mean trials?
or you mean the 8 man MSQ dungeons (prae/castrum)?

assuming you mean trials

either way

[weary wadi]

Honestly anything with 2 tanks I feel like I'm too greedy and I'm always trying to main tank

[barren gazelle]

Anybody on primal willing to bird farm with me for a bit?

[weary wadi]

Even if someone is already main tanking

[steep egret]

if there is no communication, and the other tank goes for it, i just let them main tank it
ill turn off my stance, so i dont take aggro by accident
then after a while (maybe 10 seconds) ill turn my tank stance on to gather some aggro, so that way, if they die, the boss picks me next, and not a DPS or something

[jolly sorrel]

I'm not sure its commonly accepted, but for a while it's been etiquette that the person with highest HP is simply the main tank. Plenty people not doing that though.

[umbral dune]

it does not matter that much

[balmy merlin]

So I’ve heard a lot about dps parsing and I heard it’s really bad. As a new player, I’m not sure what people mean by this and why it is bad. Would be greatly appreciated if someone can answer this for me

[barren gazelle]

Parsing?

[jolly sorrel]

Simply because higher hp = better gear = tends to pull aggro a bit more easily

[steep egret]

because it breeds toxicity

[weary wadi]

Lately I've been encountering people getting pissed cause I'm trying to steal their thunder even if they are getting lower on health

[barren gazelle]

Whats parsing

[umbral dune]

the context we are talking about is easy content, who main tank general speaking does not change anything

[balmy merlin]

That’s what I’m trying to figure out too

[modest igloo]

!faq act

[jolly sorrel]

Agreed, but two tanks fighting to keep main aggro is bad always

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

[modest igloo]

act is used for parsing

[steep egret]

you log the fight, get stats and know exactly how much damage everyone is doing

[modest igloo]

which is comparing damage

[steep egret]

unfortunately makes some people be assholes to others who they think arent pulling their weight

[modest igloo]

however due to a lot of witchhunting very early on ffxiv devs decided to stop it

[balmy merlin]

Ah ok

[modest igloo]

by making it a bannable offense to log and discuss it in game

[balmy merlin]

Thanks for answering my question

[steep egret]

dont EVER, call someone out for low DPS, since the game doesn't have tools for this built in, they can report you for harassment and using 3rd party tools

[barren gazelle]

Witch hunting? 😐the heck is that

Bashing someone for being bad?

[steep egret]

yup

pretty much

[modest igloo]

"this player is so fucking shit if you get them in a dungeon just leave"

[jolly sorrel]

Mostly "publically" bashing people. Posting their names on forums etc

[barren gazelle]

Ohhhh

[steep egret]

dont ever post parses on places like reddit with peoples names on them

[umbral dune]

even ingame is not acceptable

[steep egret]

just, dont give assholes, ammunition

[modest igloo]

main thing about parsing is just dont talk about it in SE stuff

[barren gazelle]

Damn r the ff communities that small youd come across one another like that?

[modest igloo]

discord is perfectly fine

[modest igloo]

i mean theres literally only like 4 clusters nowadays

with dc travel

[barren gazelle]

Which has been broke since its been out right?

Cuz my friend wants to come to primal

[modest igloo]

its fixed

[steep egret]

high end content on any MMO is a fairly small community (like 1% of the playerbase), so eventually you will start coming across the same people in your Datacenter
no one cares about parsing casual content

[modest igloo]

world transfer is not up tho

travel and transfer are two different systems

[barren gazelle]

Oh how do i dc travel to aether then?

On ps4 right click iss..?

;-;

[steep egret]

🤷‍♂️

try buttons

[barren gazelle]

Hmm ill try buttons

[steep egret]

whatever button gives you submenus elsewhere in game

known in game as the "display subcommands" button, at least on PC

[obsidian patio]

square is your equivalent of right click

[barren gazelle]

I see ty

[steep egret]

i should have guessed that, pretty standard for something like that

[dapper cosmos]

are squadrons useful after ARR?

[steep egret]

they stop at 60, but you can get exp boosters from them so really up to you

[dapper cosmos]

oh alrigt

[dapper cosmos]

is the hunt useful as well?

[steep egret]

hunts give different seals/nuts, so depends on if you want something from them

as to whether its useful to you

[dapper cosmos]

alright

[obsidian patio]

ARR/HW/SB hunt currency can be used to buy teleport tickets and ventures

[steep egret]

with all side content, see WHAT it rewards, then determine if you find that useful

[blissful grove]

Does the damage reduction from Taurochole/Kerachole stack with the one from Holos or does one overwrite the other?

[obsidian patio]

they stack with holos

just couldnt find what they were called lol

Is there a way to give your Chocobo berries/veggies in order to dye it's color without needing to have a house?

[shadow rune]

FC house or apartment

[vivid pine]

how much is an apartment ?

[umbral dune]

500k

[shadow rune]

500K

[vivid pine]

Can apartment owners have a garden?

[umbral dune]

no

[uncut estuary]

Its apartments

Not a house

You dont get to have a garden

[vivid pine]

I know lol, I just wanted to make sure

[uncut estuary]

Fair enough, carry on

[gray tinsel]

Can someone add me to the NN on Raiden? Just met two people from Zodiark who asked me to do so so i might get ig help

[solemn jewel]

Im gonna be honest i don't think you'll find anyone to add u to it cus Raiden can't have mentors rn

[shadow rune]

I think you need to be mentor for that and raiden is new server and transfer is still not open so there are not any mentors there yet

[gray tinsel]

Can i transfer to somewhere else?

or when can i?

[solemn jewel]

With money

[gray tinsel]

😦

[umbral dune]

no one can transfer right now though

[solemn jewel]

Just ask in here for info or wait until transfers are open so mentors can actually come to raiden

Novice network isn't great a lot of times

[gray tinsel]

Why are transfers down?

[solemn jewel]

Monitoring servers due to data center travel observation

[shadow rune]

just wait for the transefrs to open and some mentors will go to the new servers, think I read it will be sometime next week

[gray tinsel]

Also, is it normal that i barely see any players on Raiden? I mean you said it's new but it's kinda dead

Ah okay

[solemn jewel]

It literally just opened and it only has new accounts

Old players weren't able to transfer yet

[gray tinsel]

Ohh

[uncut estuary]

Raiden

Squeeze my hog

[gray tinsel]

That makes a lot more sense, since i got some EXP boost aswell

[shadow rune]

it is normal, it is two weeks old server, and transfers are closed so older players cannot change to it, so it is just new players there for now

[gray tinsel]

Alrighty then

[shadow rune]

if you want to see more players you can use world visit and go to others servers until it fills more

[gray tinsel]

Ty!
