One more question, is there a good Wiki site which includes everything? Found a few but they don't make sense to me

obsidian patio
#

gamerescape is the general go-to

#

I like Garland tools as a database-type website

gray tinsel
#

Sweet, bookmarked it. Ty!

wraith plover
#

I am much confused. I just got a reply from SE that you can't transfer an account between regions (say JP to NA) but like...two years ago I 100% did transfer from JP to NA. Did this change? Maybe I'm using the wrong words?

steep egret
#

Account transfer is not character transfer

wraith plover
#

And lots of folks obviously transfered from JP to OCE.

obsidian patio
#

You can't change your "Account Region", which decides what region licenses you can use for buying the game and expansions

steep egret
#

you can't change an account's region
you can transfer characters to a different server in a different region

#

account region has no bearing on what servers you can play on

wraith plover
#

How do you access character transfer then?

steep egret
#

mogstation

solemn jewel
#

currently u dont

steep egret
#

when its up

wraith plover
#

I thought it was home world transfer service on Mogstation but that's been down for...weeks?

steep egret
#

transfer is down at the moment, wait a week or so

#

yes, it has been down due to the new DC travel system having issues

#

as they use the same system in the back-end

obsidian patio
#

"Heroes Forge Ahead", which doesn't have an Orchestrion roll in-game.

wraith plover
#

Ah OK. So just be patient. Well thanks! That's good news at least. Thought I was trapped in JP and confused customer service too!

Hi all

Pls Im going to try to do High-end Duty for the first time ever to get the best gear in the game i just want to know pls do i need to do all the 4 Asphodelos raids or i can do just the fourth circle savage because i think its easier to get a team for it in the duty finder and if i manage to do it can i spam it or its just a daily run or weekly run PLS and is it also worth it to do the 2 trials in high-end Duty to get the best gear or no just the raids?

#

and thx for your answers

twilit arch
#

since savage is no longer weekly locked, you can skip straight to floor 4

leaden ginkgo
#

is it daily pls or we can spam it all day ?

umbral dune
#

spam it however long you want

leaden ginkgo
#

ok thx and is it worth it to do the trials or no to get the best gear ?

oblique skiff
#

it is better to get your weapon from endex yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

ok thx you vm all

gray tinsel
#

Where can i ask for people to join a trial? Been stuck for an hour and the queue doesn't pop

warm snow
#

Are you queueing for an extreme?

gray tinsel
#

Yea

#

Shiva to be precise

warm snow
#

You don't do that

#

High end content, you're expected to use the party finder

#

Or come back later and unsync them

gray tinsel
#

Ahh

#

Okay, ty!

#

There are no parties to find.

warm snow
#

Then you make your own party finder

#

With blackjack

#

AND HOOKERS

umbral dune
#

either make one or just ignore the extreme version for now, you can do all of those later

lunar flare
#

if you played the free trial via the SE internal launcher, and want to switch to steam upon subscribing/purchasing the game, how does one do this?

gray tinsel
#

Nice

twilit arch
#

buy thru steam, put the code into mogstation

gray tinsel
#

Tbh i just want that ice blade

lunar flare
twilit arch
#

yes

lunar flare
#

okay. in this case, I might wait till steam has a sale for ffxiv, though i've never seen it go on sale on there

warm snow
#

It was on sale like a week ago lol

umbral dune
# gray tinsel Tbh i just want that ice blade

in that case, try to ask for a carry, in limsa or such, ask he/she to unsync the trial with you, you take the weapon coffer in the end, open it with PLD to get the blade or whatever job that use the weapon you want

lunar flare
warm snow
#

I thought steam sales were global

twilit arch
#

Endwalker was on sale during the summer steam sales

lunar flare
#

don't think so, i don't recall it being cheaper

#

endwalker not sure, but just the game itself

#

also, despite me residing in australia, but my account being in an eu server, buying on steam won't change anything no?

twilit arch
#

the thing that matters is your register account region, not what servers you play on

lunar flare
#

oh

umbral dune
#

that code need to be EU region then

#

wait, what is your account region, still EU right?

warm snow
#

Depends on where your steam and se account regions are

lunar flare
#

idk

warm snow
#

Which has absolutely nothing to do with what region the server you're playing on is

lunar flare
#

how does one check account region? i play on eu / phoenix, but idk what the former means

dapper cosmos
#

why is blue mage considered a meme?

umbral dune
#

mogstation, account information

obsidian patio
warm snow
dapper cosmos
#

oh alr

warm snow
#

And can't be used in current content

#

It's. Urrent level cap is 70

lunar flare
obsidian patio
#

EU code it is then

warm snow
#

What region is your steam?

dapper cosmos
#

how do i check how much days i have been playing in the ffxiv chat?

lunar flare
#

i assume australia/oce, because i live here, but how do i check

dapper cosmos
umbral dune
#

in the steam you are on, the FF14 page will show what region is need to be matched with

obsidian patio
#

Also try /playtime

lunar flare
umbral dune
#

look at this

lunar flare
#

this is what i see on steam, the pricing is AUD$ obviously

twilit arch
#

so you are getting a EU code

#

as the top message indicates

lunar flare
#

nice

#

it is strange though, i guess Australia and Europe both use PAL version

#

?

#

is there no such thing as an OCE square enix account

obsidian patio
#

Oceanic as a datacenter is very new

#

so them not being their own account region isn't really a surprise.

lunar flare
#

yeah makes sense

#

it does say EU and other regions

twilit arch
#

there's only 3 regions anyway

#

NA/JP/EU

#

ignoring CN/KR since they are their own things

#

Hello! Quick question, I'm currently at level 55 paladin. Does anyone know what's the best dungeon or way to grind? I've done a couple of duty support since I'm not used to tanking, and it helps me practice.

obsidian patio
#

The Aery, AKA the level 55 dungeon

#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
worn ice
#

Thank you 👍!

lunar flare
#

so to reiterate. coming from internal launcher as a free trial player, in order to play full version on steam, i purchase the game on steam (steam region doesn't need to be changed in this case), and then import the code into mogstation (assuming mogstation is automatically set to the correct region for my account).

twilit arch
#

steam region does matter

lunar flare
#

in the sense that i don't have to change the steam region, if that's even a thing

obsidian patio
#

but looking at the picture you posted, you'll be fine

twilit arch
#

but since we've already established that its correct for your account region, its a bit of a moot point

lunar flare
#

yeah

twilit arch
#

only reason im point that out is because other people read the chat, dont want them thinking steam region doesn't matter

lunar flare
#

yeah i could've worded that better

twilit arch
#

yes the process is buy the game on steam, go into the cd key section for ff14 and get the code from there, put it into mogstation

#

i would also note that when you upgrade to full game, it will probably have a few options (iirc its windows, playstation and steam) but steam will likely be greyed out since you did not do the trial thru steam

#

just hit windows, paste the code in and you should be good to go

Patch 6.1: MAJOR changes. Trick Attack now only benefit the Ninja themselves. Trick Attack's Party-wide damage up has been moved to Mug. Other misc changes. PREPULL DOTON IS DEAD.
New video potentially incoming with new openers, more likely with 6.2 changes.

New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what ...

Hey, is there any way to hide the bar song jauge when not in battle ? or even when no song is playing ?

umbral dune

You mean the brd job gauge right, unfortunately no

lilac bolt
#

Yes ! Ok 😦 Thanks for the answer 🙂

warm snow
#

There's a popular plugin that can do it

#

but officially no

lilac bolt
#

Nevermind, thanks 🙂

uncut estuary

Just put it in simple mode

so it's just a small bar

crystal bluff
warm snow
#

simple tweaks

steep egret
#

problem with it, is it bugs out when you unlock new gauges and get the "new gauge unlocked" thing to click on,
sometimes that is unclickable, and needs you to disable the tweak then change zones to fix it, or its just stuck on screen,
if you've unlocked all gauges then its a non-issue of course.

Random question: Anyone know of a discord where people advertise their venues?

heavy wadi
#

just look at party finder

#

s'where most people advertise.

warm snow
#

or a DC specific discord

oak lily
# warm snow

Is there even enough time for those gcd’s between Kassatsu and Hyosho Ranryu 2think

warm snow
#

what are you on about?

#

Kassatsu is an OGCD

#

and you don't have to use it immediately

heavy wadi
#

It's not the next ability.

warm snow
#

There's only 3 gcds used in that time

heavy wadi
#

Given that nin has a decreased GCD under huton its very feasible to do that.

warm snow
#

not counting each mudra

wary cedar
#

Are there any crafting guides to help me get started?

#

Kind of want to level everything up as i go

warm snow
umbral dune
#

short answer is just level all 8 of them together, it helps

wary cedar
#

Thank you

fair delta
#

hopefully it's ok to ask in here but does anyone know of discord servers for DRN speedruns? I just want to farm relic items

fair delta
#

There's only a google doc about bozja in there. I can't remember if the server was cross DC but it had a deep essence as logo

Pls for the fourth circle Asphodelos raid waiting for 77min in the duty finder is it normal ppl don't do it from the duty finder and do it from the party finder?

faint flare

#

Who the fuck ques for savage

#

All high end content is done via party finder

#

You'll never clear in duty finder, if it ever popped

heavy wadi
#

no one dfs savage....

leaden ginkgo

storm sapphire
#

question in uwu I got less Hp than a bard as reaper, that normal or what could be the reason?

modest igloo
#

Phys ranged have less defense and hp than melees

storm sapphire
#

Oh no I mean reaper has less HP than bard

modest igloo
#

Are they eating food?

storm sapphire
#

yeah

#

and their gear is all repaired

#

and its all max ilvl

modest igloo
#

And they’re using synced or old BiS?

#

Ah yeah

#

Depending on what gear you have the sync can be different

storm sapphire
#

any idea what the bis is? Everywhere I go its kinda generic "get whatever has these substats"

wary cedar
#

what crafters should you level up first

autumn anvil
#

Generally best to level them all at once, equally.

#

Unless you're only interested in getting any 1 crafter up, then probably go for CUL.

wary cedar
#

sounds good

autumn anvil
#

Oh, and by 'all at once' you can probably leave CUL for last if you're not going to use food for leveling.

#

Everything else kind of relies on each other.

wary cedar
#

gotcha

can I create a cross world party from a existing 8 man party?

outer mural
#

uhhh i don't think so if the existing 8-man party already has 8 people from the same world

#

if someone leaves then a person from another world hops in then yes

#

same if the entire 8-man joins a cross-world alliance

proud tide
#

Help with A Song of Bards and Bowmen. Looking for another person to party up to help me with the charm part. I'm only lvl 31 and fighting the load of mobs near by is next to impossible

uncut estuary
#

isnt that an instanced battle?

proud tide
#

No it is not. the mobs are lvl 31 though

faint flare
#

Use your chocobo to help especially with healing

proud tide
#

I never thought of using my chocobo. thanks for the tip!

faint flare
#

It basically covers all overworld healing

#

Remember your role actions like second wind and maybe kiting if possible with leg graze to slow them and foot graze to bind a mob you're not hitting

#

Arms length at 32 is also helpful when you get it as it slows the attack speed of mobs that hit you

proud tide
#

I think I might get to 32 first as I feel Arms Length would help a ton

faint flare
#

As long as you've been keeping your gear up to date and using the birb you'll be fine

What does the message “if the xx parties currently recruiting, all match your search conditions” mean? I’ve seen it all the time

#

very new tank, is grit a one time cast - something i just don't need to worry about after using once? i guess later on there may be mechanics that remove buffs and whatnot

To avoid flight chrrse

boreal storm
#

Flight didn’t exist in ARR until 5.3 remember

faint flare
#

You have it in all instances content

#

It just turns off whenever you sync down, needing you to turn it back on

lunar flare
#

oh i see

#

ty

#

i assumed it'd be a buff on a timer, pretty convenient that it isn't

steep egret
#

its a toggle :/

faint flare
#

If it had a timer then it should show one

steep egret
#

literally turn it on at the start of the instance

lunar flare
#

yeah i was talking about my pre-conceptions before playing a tank lol

umbral dune
#

you turn it on, pretty much never turn it off unless needed

remote lintel
#

wheres the sb hildy starting quest

#

you'll learn, at the beginning of any synced content, check tank stance, fairy, carbuncle, kardion, Dance partner, etc

lunar flare
#

i asked because i think i had my tank stance button somewhere that was easy to accidentally click on my hotbar lmao

#

didn't toggle on accident, but it was a risk

nocturne hinge
#

dance partner you always gotta do at the start of a duty

#

and then you cry because you're synced to 50

placid shoal
#

I usually have it on my ctrl hot bar cause you usually just need to press it once at the beginning

lunar flare
#

i had it on ctr+1 but honestly didn't need to be that easy to access

nocturne hinge
#

i think carby only turns off if you die? been a while since i played smn

upper cove

Any cutscenes that come after are 'seperate'

novel basin
#

how do i start other jobs?

faint flare
#

Do the blue quest for the respective job to unlock it

#

Then equip the weapon

#

You need to have done your lv10 class quest to swap jobs

cunning tide
#

in a 80 dungeon with 80 gear what should be the average heal i get with sage cause my healing feels low

novel basin
faint flare
#

Then hopefully you've been actually doing your job quests and not missing skills or your job upgrade

novel basin
faint flare
#

Then you've been keeping up and can swap jobs

#

Just go do the unlock for what job you want

novel basin
#

cool cool

#

how do i get that little ui to switch between jobs?

cursive rock
#

Uhhh you do the quest and then open your job stone storage in your armory chest

faint flare
#

You can have 4 hud layout and use a macro to swap between them

#

To swap jobs, use gear sets

cursive rock
#

Once you equip stone of the job you want, then you can save gear set

faint flare
#

Which is the page icon on your character pahe

narrow jay
#

That said, if you're spending the majority of your time spamming Diagnosis instead of relying on other aspects of your kit, you're going to have a rough time.

faint flare
#

They haven't said specifically

#

But we're assuming the gear is week 1 for now

#

It is something they would be able to adjust and change if it's warranted

novel basin
#

Speaking of how do unlock the closet for the transmogs??

heavy wadi
#

We'll probably learn more in the 2nd ll, but that's what they seemed to suggest

cunning tide
heavy wadi
#

At the least they may release the new mats and tomes a week before and then gear releases with savage

boreal storm
warm snow
novel basin
faint flare
#

A bed

warm snow
#

Also sage healing numbers are gonna be low

novel basin
#

coo

faint flare
#

That's low for 80

warm snow
#

Cuz most of your healing is mitigative

heavy wadi
#

sure but this change is ultimately good as it lets people prepare a bit more and not have to shell out millions of gil day one to get into savage.

faint flare
#

When cryptlurker exists

narrow jay
heavy wadi
#

narrow jay
#

Yeah, Vinyl was just misremembering which one went where lol.

narrow jay
cunning tide
faint flare
#

It's a large chunk of missing main stat

narrow jay
#

If those earrings are dragging your average item level down by over 30 points, yes.

faint flare
#

Also if you're i498 then you're not full cryptlurker

#

Unless your earrings are like

#

Ultra fucking shit

#

Like 30 levels shit

cunning tide
#

so yaaaaaaaa i still had the menphina earings on from leveling hahahahahahah

boreal storm
#

That’s an 100 item level difference

cunning tide
#

also just realised my weapons are 70 hahahahaha

faint prism
#

can lvl 80 dungeos be soloed by a fully decked lvl 90?

faint flare
#

Yeah your gear is terrible

#

Weapons are the most important

#

Cause weapon damage is the most important stat in the game

carmine fossil
heavy wadi
#

war and pld especially

narrow jay
#

But again, as a general reminder, Sage heals are going to feel weaker on average than WHM/AST heals because Sage is not a pure healer.

faint flare
#

Weapon damage affects damage and healing by a very VERY VERY large amount

hidden garnet
#

is there a way to see how much time i did each dungeon?

faint flare
#

No

faint prism
heavy wadi
#

what alla said. you should not be spamming heals as a sge

cunning tide
narrow jay
#

So your Diagnosis is going to feel weak compared to Benefic 2.

faint flare
#

Going from a Lv70 weapon to a 80 would basically double your strength probably

novel basin
#

how do u get that room from ur free company?

faint flare
#

Buy it for 300k at the house

novel basin
#

damn

narrow jay
#

And your playstyle should reflect that need to minimise or otherwise deflect incoming damage so that your naturally leaner healing can be sufficient. For example, using Taurochole first in dungeon pulls instead of Druochole is both a bigger heal and a load off of your future healing, since that additional 10% mitigation from Taurochole is now stacking with whatever mitigation the tank has up.

faint flare
#

I mean at 80 you're using Kerachole first

#

With Physis to buff healing

narrow jay
#

Correct, but that wasn't the point I was making.

#

Also keep in mind Krasis is only on a 60s cooldown and can make your life much, much easier during pulls.

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

faint flare
#

Job balance actually exists

south fiber
#

Appreciate u

warm snow
#

The best job is the one you suck the least at

placid shoal
#

Whm is fun but the dps on it is so mind numbing

outer mural
#

you will hear that's minute differences and that matters when you're at the top peak level of ffxiv skil lexpression but for every level below that, which is 99% of the game you will experience normally, class picking doesn't matter outside of fun

#

and i mean shit like world's first or meta speedkilling strats where you will grind 8 hours to shave off a second

placid shoal

I like doing group contented as whm but doing it’s solo job story was painful for me

Five friends, 1 tank, 1 healer, 3 DPS are all trying to que for Alliance Raids together.
Individually, we can all que successfully, but as a group we cannot. We can't come up with any explanation. It's not broken gear, it's not ilevel, and everyone has at least Syrcus Tower done, which is enough to qualify.

#

We disbanded and all tested queing just to see, and all of us were able to. But as a group it says one of us does not qualify.

faint flare
#

Have everyone solo que as a lv50 job

#

Just because you have the roulette unlocked and can que solo doesn't mean you have the same unlocks as the others

#

But seeing as it's crystal tower and mandatory anyway everyone should just have it

simple brook
#

We all have Labyrinth of Ancients and Syrcus Tower, yeah.

faint flare
#

Everyone's ilvl, especially the astro

#

Try changing lead as well or remake

simple brook
#

Everyone is over 110 ilevel.

#

And we each took a turn queing.

#

Recommend having one person of the five drop out at a time, requeue as the team of four, see if you get the same error, repeat until you think you found the person affecting the queue.

Yee I get that, it's just I have almost 90 hours and I'm finally almost to Heavensward and I just want to get to the hard stuff already

Damn, even targeting? That sucks

copper lotus
#

When does a paladin use clemency? (appart from when the healer is dead or/and with divine veil pre boss)

flat cape
#

So if there's any optional stuff to do then that'd be great

faint flare
#

Even if you just have the skill and nothing else, it causes the delay

#

Cause macros don't skill que

faint flare
#

Or solo

brisk nexus
faint flare
#

You never actively use it

#

You don't even pop veil with it anymore

#

Cause your spells do it now when they get the heal trait

copper lotus

Only 2 are niche and we've been asking for Bash to be removed for years

it's overloaded with a few weird useless abilities but they use

Oh yeah cover existd

copper lotus
#

and when do you generaly use veil?

faint flare
#

Veil is extremely good and near mandatory in high content as your group mitigation

copper lotus
#

oh ok

#

thanks!

faint flare
#

You use it to mitigate aoes

outer mural
#

veil isn't niche because it's just an extra mitigation tool

faint flare
#

It also gets a heal as well

outer mural
#

clemency and cover are oh-shit tools

#

not commonplace usage but still used here and there

#

not to mention these don't actually detract from pld's full defensive toolkit

faint flare
#

They save that 1 dumb idiot who's a vuln stack andy

copper lotus
#

imma go eat but i'll check your messages after, thanks for the info guys, I appreciate it

outer mural
#

it has nearly as many defensive tools as evry other tank if not more

#

so don't sweat it too much

faint flare
#

They have more party mit but they don't have an "extra" solo mit

#

Nothing like Camouflage, Thrill or whatever

#

And don't say the passive block cause rng mitigation is bad

nothing that looks like it should have any special qualities or uniqueness

lunar flare
#

oh they are unique/untradeable but i don't think that should matter?

#

they're called infantry thighboots

twilit arch

that does not matter with the dresser

feral peak
#

could you have possibly fantasia-ed recently and have the only display equippable by race/gender checked

twilit arch
#

wouldn't hide infantry

lunar flare
#

nvm, i think the model that i'm wearing had already been glamoured

faint flare
#

Those are just generic stuff

twilit arch

because its not race/gender specific

infantry thighboots must've been the base, cause my DRK is still very low level

unborn smelt
#

Hello, i have this problem when in the middle of the fight, my target instead of the boss, it targets people in my pt

#

is the ctrl key the one doing it ?

#

coz i sometimes click it

#

it keeps on changin my target

oak lily
#

F1-F8 targets the party

unborn smelt
#

i change my keybind already f1 to f5 is already for skills

unborn smelt
outer mural
#

are you using tab targetting

unborn smelt
#

so my rotation will break

#

yes i have my tab on

#

like cycle

oak lily
#

What boss

unborn smelt
#

for farthest enemy

#

like any boss

outer mural
#

it shouldn't be targetting people in your party unless you're hitting the modifer key that lets you target allies

#

so it might be ctrl key

unborn smelt
#

whats the modifer keyy

#

ahh yeah i click ctrl key sometimes out of habit

#

is this it?

#

im not using ctrl key in my keybind

oak lily
#

I use ctrl for skills

outer mural
#

i use ctrl as my modifier key as well

unborn smelt
#

can i

outer mural
#

ctrl, shift and alt are all modifier keys and can't be directly used as a key

unborn smelt
#

turn off ctrl

#

modifier?

outer mural
#

you could but i would just try to not hit ctrl

#

that just sounds like a muscle memory issue if your pinky is just hitting it that often

unborn smelt
#

out of habit

outer mural
#

how so

#

i mean you could turn it off by manually re-binding every key that uses ctrl but again it would be more convienet to control your muscle memory because it is a useful modifier key in the future anyway

#

esc -> keybind

unborn smelt
#

i click number 1 button, and 9/10 ctrl key will be click in accident

outer mural
#

do you mean press or click

unborn smelt
#

press

#

its just when im fighting a boss, my target keeps on changing

#

not everytime, but its becoming an issue

outer mural
#

i'm not really understanding how you are pressing 1 whilst simultaneously involuntarily pressing ctrl at the same time

That's visiting and that's ONLY in the same region

it will be different if you're not lalafell yeah

So. I already know the entire ARR story line, should I just buy the skip, or do I have to level up regardless and it's pointless to get?

faint flare
#

Still need to level

#

Story skip only completes the story

#

Doesn't level you, that's a separate skip

#

But levelling with the story done is easy so eh

boreal storm
#

I mean you could just do dungeons until 50, but that’s slower

pulsar tide
#

I see, I see. How long would it take to complete all of the ARR story while skipping dialogue, If I may ask. Haha

oak lily
#

50 hours?

pulsar tide
#

Holy.

oak lily
#

It’s about 70 hours for all of it

faint flare
#

Thar was before the cut down

violet turret
#

can someone help me do the binding coils of bahamut unsynced

faint flare
#

People did it in 50 with watching cutscenes

pulsar tide
#

Alright. How long would it take to get to level 50 to do the expansions?

faint flare
#

So skipping would be like 30 or something

oak lily
#

Each expansion is another 10 levels higher

#

It’s linear

pulsar tide
#

Yeah, just the first one. Just trying to compare how long it would take to level, versus how long it would take to do the story. lol

violet turret
faint flare
#

Levelling itself isn't long...Probably hit 50 in 24h of hardcore grinding

Finished EW like… Feb 20something

So I just hit 50, still working on MSQ for Realm Reborn. Is there anything else I should be doing other than MSQ? I assume that just flows into the MSQ for the expansions, no?

narrow jay
#

Yep, MSQ progresses directly from one expansion through the between-expansion "patch" quests to the next one, and pretty much everything in the game is progressively locked behind it.

#

You will get to a point where the MSQ will pause and wait for you to do the Crystal Tower alliance raid series, so once you beat the base ARR campaign and get into the patch quests, you can also start looking at the CT questline and dual-path things to streamline the process.

How to obtain Ahriman mount? I kno where to buy it from, but how to unlock it. Iirc I gotta be a subscriber for 90 days? Or did that change ?

That’s very old information. It’s now purchased with achievement certificates from Jonathas in Old Gridania.

I don't c it ;-;

The achievement shop, not the claim items

The item for it is called Voidal Resonator. It’s in the Others tab in his shop.

you just need to have it unlocked first to be able to do so

vivid pine

yeah already do, just surprised that all of them can do so

twilit arch

people wanted to use their favorite mounts

There's no reason to have a mount that can't fly

so they made it so all can fly

Again, you can try through support but they will probably* ask for your security answers first

It's called security for a reason.

graceful kestrel
#

Okay, where can I try it?

narrow jay
#

Unfortunately, if you don't remember the only way you recover your game ID, then ... you can't recover your game ID. Those security questions are put there so that random people can't pretend they're you by simply going "I forgot my ID and all my questions, can I have it anyway".

graceful kestrel
#

But I remember my email only

slate arrow

You can try and reset your password, I think they send your SE ID in the email but it's been a while since I've done it

warm snow
#

We're just a bunch of dudes from reddit we can't un lock you out of your account

graceful kestrel
#

Yes, I got it but unfortunately I don't remember the answer for the secruity question 😦

slate arrow
#

Mogstation login should have a link to SE Support at the bottom

#

But if you don't remember your security questions you're probably locked out

narrow jay
#

You need to go through SE's account recovery steps. If you forgot your security questions and answers to them ... that is unfortunate, and in the future I would suggest either writing down the questions and their answers somewhere so you won't forget, or picking questions you'll remember the answers to.

I am really confused right now.

So I am in HW and I just recently beat ARR. Ever since I have been playing ARR, I always had that voice in my head to change jobs or go back to my old job (my current job is a lvl 56 nin and my old one is a lvl 40 drg) but then I said I will find out in HW because I only wanted to spam MSQ at the time. Now I reached HW and I genuinely don't know what to do. I am enjoying ninja and I am having fun with it but I have this part of my brain telling me to go back to drg and see if I will like it more. The other half says to stick to ninja till endgame and find out in Endwalker. Then the other one says to try out machinist because its a HW class and .....gun. But now I generally don't know what to do. Usually when I post stuff like this on the server, most people say "do whatever you want" but that just leaves me more puzzled...

slate arrow

as long as you do the MSQ you can do whatever you want since everything is locked behind the MSQ regardless

So you can only get gathering/crafting level 70 and level 80 manuals from white scrips? And to get white scrips you need to be level 80?

A few arr jack bits and endgame

It gets kind of wild at 60 and below. Or at level 90 if you’re juggling different sets.

Otherwise it’s fine

so if I have a level 50 gatherer/crafter I can get the level 80 manuals already?

what?

but I thougt the manuals give exp bonus till 80

The exp boosters? You need to have the level 80 scrip vendor unlocked first but sure you can do that.

ohhh

so I need one cfafter/gratherer

Quick question. How do I join the novice chat?

#

There's nothing really in place to police it or hold it to any sort of standard, so it's not as useful for new players as it's billed.

urban grotto
#

i wanna try doing savage raids, what's the minimum IL?

heavy wadi
#

for which one?

#

each of the fights has a different min ilvl

urban grotto
#

uhh I guess the highest level?

heavy wadi
#

the highest is 580

urban grotto
#

sick then I'm set

heavy wadi
#

which is p4s

#

i'd start with p1s though

urban grotto
#

noted!

#

oh uhh is it reqired or recommended that I meld my equipment?

#

most of my gear is classical

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Or you're kinda griefing

urban grotto
#

haha i see

faint flare
#

It's free stats

#

Melds and food are mandatory basically

urban grotto
#

is there a guide for beginning savage sets?

heavy wadi
#

wdym

#

do you mean bis/best in slot?

urban grotto
#

yeah that plus melds

heavy wadi
#

if so then you can go look at the balance

#

!faq balance

faint flare
#

No such thing as beginning savage sets

zinc orbitBOT
urban grotto
#

ah ok

#

already there just was skimming the page

heavy wadi
#

classical is enough, regardless

vast hinge
# urban grotto yeah that plus melds

when loot restrictions are a thing, there's usually a set that is only marginally worse than BiS, but involves less tome gear, thus making its acquisition easier to come by

faint flare
#

Use the strongest gear you have available and meld following your priority

heavy wadi
#

just make sure you know your opener and rotation in general

urban grotto
#

so there's no specific meld guide just follow meld priority?

faint flare
#

Yes

urban grotto
#

ok, thanks!

faint flare
#

Cause that IS the meld guide

#

Follow your priority

boreal storm
#

remember about substat caps

urban grotto
#

what's that?

#

oh like levels of materia?

faint flare
#

What stops you putting crit in everything

urban grotto
#

ah I see

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 7 and 8 Materia require an item level of 420 while Tiers 9 and 10 require an item level of 560.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

faint flare
#

See image

#

The caps are at the bottom of the meld window

urban grotto
#

oh no I was aware of that but i didn't know what it was called

#

i melded all my crafter/gatherer gear

#

think I'm all set, thanks!

frail fulcrum
#

If I remove a materia on a pentameld gear, will it also remove the slot?

faint flare
#

The slots don't exist to begin with

frail fulcrum
#

ah ok I see, thanks

faint flare
#

You're just forcing it in to a place with no slots that's why it breaks

frail fulcrum
#

dang

urban grotto
#

idk what this specific order means, help?

faint flare
#

It means what it means

urban grotto
#

what does the = mean?

faint flare
#

Equal

open coral
#

It means that both stats have the same value.

urban grotto
#

ah ok

open coral
#

So you can meld whichever

boreal storm
#

greater than or equal

urban grotto
#

can I meld both though?

faint flare
#

Depends whats the stat cap of the gear

urban grotto
#

or is it just the same

open coral
#

Since its >= (greater than or equal to), DH will have slightly higher meld priority over Det

faint flare
#

You follow the priority

modest igloo
#

and if you hit one or not

urban grotto
#

wdym "hit"?

faint flare
#

Hit the next stat tier

It's a minmax thing

Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in msq, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.

faint flare
#

You were told to get to heavensward to continue your job quests

urban grotto
#

is there a way to tell which stat tier I'm in?

faint flare
#

!faq stats

faint flare
#

#

Cause it's linked with steam

#

That's what the Steam link did

faint flare
#

No

urban grotto
#

You can get 590 gear from aglaia raid, augmenting the classical gear or buying radiant gear

boreal storm
#

open coral
#

Did you originally buy the game through Steam?

echo cove
#

#
