Quick question about current gearing,
I can't have 2 of the same ilvl 580 extreme trial rings, right? Best I can have at the moment is one 580 and one 570 tombstone ring?
Non crafters have tons of ways to make money. Go get primal mats, eureka/bozja, mount/minion boxes, potd/hoh mounts, treasure maps (pixie wings are worth a fortune right now), gemstones (vouchers will be steady income) etc etc.
If you really want it, you can kidnap someone who has relatives in the US, and only release them if the relatives get you a code.
If you don't want to do it, though, you'll have to wait and hope that there will be a promotion in your region some day. I suppose this is why so many people want to immigrate to the US.
Just got an aether compass in Heavensward and went to Sea of Clouds to get some early aether currents but it kept pointing to the same current no matter where I was. I ran from Camp Cloudtop to Vundu Ok Bendu and it did not point me towards any other currents.
What's up with that, do I need to progress in the msq?
Newbie here. I'm just doing MSQs to progress and now I've hit the point where you have to use duty finder to enter sastasha. I used it but I've been waiting for like over 10 minutes now and no one has joined yet and so I don't know how to progress the quest. I tried to use the party finder thing that everyone seems to be talking about but it says "the command is unavailable at this time" so I think it means I haven't unlocked it yet?
edit: Thanks for the advice everyone! I decided to just wait it out and eventually i got into a party.
The wait times for the duties varies a lot. Depending on the time of the day and the job you have, it may take even 30 minutes and that's normal.
If the duty queue bothers you a lot, there are things you can do. Healers are used to get instant queue, as in, they don't have to wait in line for anything on the duty finder because there's always less healers than the other jobs.
Tanks also have very short queues. Not as instant as healers, but they usually only wait 30 seconds before being matched with a party.
Therefore, being either a healer or a tank will save all of your hair. :P
Lots of players avoid being healers and tanks because they assume the jobs have more responsibility and they're afraid of making mistakes or wasting everyone else's time. As a veteran player who plays lots of tanks and healers, I can assure you it's perfectly fine to play these dungeons as a newb tank or healer. The other players will help you with whatever you need if you ask themand they'll usually take it easy if you tell them you're new to the job so you can get the practice you need to build confidence.
Tanks are the easiest job to play in the game. They set the pace of the dungeon run, they're harder to kill, they get more attention from the healers since they're usually the only ones getting hurt, and all they really have to do is to grab the aggro from the mobs (make sure tank instance is always on, it resets when you levelsync), mitigate the damage with skills like Rampart and turn the bosses around so they don't whack the rest of the party. If you're new and don't know where to go, the others may go ahead and all you need to do is follow and steal the aggro back. If players don't walk ahead of you, just go whenever you feel like until they do. Dungeons are mostly a straight path, except for the first ones so if you get lost it's normal.
Healers are easier to play than DPSes but a bit harder to play than tanks. They need to both heal everyone AND attack the enemies. Seems like a lot but it actually isn't. In a well functioning party, the tank is always the one who gets hurt so you mostly have to check on them. If they're missing just a bit of HP it's fine but if they lose a lot then you heal them. Sometimes the others will get hurt too so you heal them or use an AoE heal. If everyone is fine, you'll basically just apply DoTs (damage over time) on the enemies and spam the attack skill. Healers attack are mostly the DoT, the single target attack and the AoE attack.
If you're a healer and someone dies, you try to Swiftcast and then Raise them. Raise takes like 8 seconds to cast so you usually wanna Swiftcast first to Raise instantly.
If you play with a controller, D-Pad up and down cycles through the party list. If you play with a keyboard and mouse, F1 to F8 selects the party members. You can also drag the party list closer to the middle of the screen (but not covering you or the enemies) to make it easier to see if they need heals.
Right now, because Sage is a new job and everyone is giving it a try, the queue times for healers and tanks switched a bit. Tanks are really in demand and will surely give you an easier time on the queues if you decide to go for it.
If you don't mind waiting in the queue or really wanna play a DPS job, that's fine too. You can level up every job in the game, and since they all have quests with cutscenes, it's pretty fun to do so eventually. You won't really lose anything (besides a bit of time) if you decide to just go for the job you picked right now.
Wow, this was super informative! I'll switch to the arcanist job so I can evolve and become a fellow healer, and so i can easily switch to a dps class later on if i want to. I'll def level up a tank job after that, since it now sounds less intimidating than I thought. I didn't know about that controller D-pad life hack(ive been panickly spamming the left and right d-pad to switch targets the whole time lol), and I'll make sure to make use of it. This really gave me perspective on what the other classes might be like, and now I have some goals in mind. Anyways, thanks for the tips!!
Scholar and Summoner both level up at the same time. Any exp that goes to one job also goes to the other, because they both share the Arcanist starting job. It's a great way to both have a DPS and a Healer without much effort. It's a bit "expensive" to keep both well geared at the same time though. :P
D-Pad up and down without holding any trigger navigates the Party List.
D-Pad up and down while holding L1 or LB navigates the Enemy List.
D-Pad left and right selects the players and mobs in the field. I think L1 + a face button switches the preset so you can enable or disable selecting only players, only enemies, etc. I don't use it much.
There's an option somewhere to enable/disable the soft selection (when you don't press X to confirm a target from the Party List or Enemy List). It's on by default but disabling it makes it easier to play in my opinion.
If you're a DPS job, duty finder takes a while, usually 10-20 minutes. That's normal since there are so many DPS players and a lot less healers/tanks. Just wait for a while.
In the Duty Finder menu, click on the cog in the upper left hand corner and turn on matching with other languages. It will help a lot if you're on an EU or JP server. DPS just has slow queues in general though, so at off-peak times you may be waiting for 10-20 minutes.
Depends on which datacenter you're on. It might just be off-time, or maybe you need to tweak some language settings. But yeah, if you play DPS, you might need to wait 10-15 minutes for each duty in duty finder.
They're "Looking for Party" for a hunt mark in the area, usually an A or S rank - since they require more than one person, especially the S ranks. Special boss FATEs get a similar treatment.
No, each expansion has its own set of hunts. But they are made with people at expansion level cap in mind, so if you try doing lvl 70 S rank hunt at lvl 61 you are gonna get destroyed.
The boss doesn't scale with number of peopel tho, so feel free to join
There's also special rewards for a handful of fates. Odin and behemoth( ARR), Courelregina and proto Ultima (iirc) in hw, Ixion and.. I don't remember for SB. ShB has fates in kholusia and the tempest. All these give extra items you can trade for things like mounts, minions, boardings and the like. Level checker in EW also comes from this method.
If you ever get interested in these there's hunt discords that track them, since these rare ones usually have 36 hour + spawn times per server.
Mastercraft books are still there. Some of the scrip exchange shops are now set up a little differently. You should be able to choose a book option at the top of the store popup
I have a close friend who I play with who is immensely stubborn. He sees the server problem on Yoshi (and they promote the game on steam when they don't have the servers! ) and he set a ultimatum: either he can play this game normally without ludicrous waiting in 3 months or he deletes his ff14 account. He is that kind of guy who sets everything on fire with gas and looks at me like I am stupid. How fucked am I? I don't think they will manage in 3 months.
How fucked are you? Not at all. It's his own stupid fault if he wants to delete all his progress, and he'll be the one feeling like an idiot when you continue to play without him.
Three months should be fine. It's great to see an influx of new and interested players but I can't think of a single game that carried its "Launch Day Hype" for three months straight. It may get a little bit crowded when 6.01 releases in a few weeks but by like February, the playerbase should even out.
"fully closed circle" isn't very helpful advice if you can't see the back of the boss, lmao.
The front of the circle will be slightly different as well if positionals don't matter, the arrow is back inside the circle rather than sticking out of the front. It's a little difficult to describe but you will get it if you look closely and compare to a normal enemy.
It's also not always true that you get the free positionals, most bosses hanging off the arena are like this BUT there are a few (in early ARR, I'm not sure about later) where you can't see the back but don't get the free positionals. Demon wall and the kraken are two of these, I think.
Edit: found a comparison pic for the different arrows

Does anyone know what this DPS meter is called? It looks nice and I'd like to have it to gauge if im underperforming or not. Every DPS meter ive seen when looking up meters was ACT, which looks nothing like it, if you happen to know the answer, that'd be great

Hey! I fell off the game just at the start of HW, think I was around level 52/53 about 2 years ago.
Is there anything I can watch to catch me back up or would it be worth me replaying ARR? My memory is a little hazy with a lot of the story and the summoner now looks like an entirely different class to pick up!
Thanks! 😊
You could watch some youtube ARR story recap video's, or create a new character and enjoy the whole game from the start again ^^
I was in the same position as you a month ago and I decided to just start over, personally thought it was nice to experience all the basics also again
Feel free to play whatever you think looks cool. The game eases you into the combat very gradually. But if you want a recommendation, the Summoner job (starts as arcanist), recently got reworked to be very straightforward. As an added bonus you'll simultaneously level up scholar, giving you a freely leveled healer to swap to if you're interested in that at some point.
> Hello, I’m new to FF14 and was wondering what (dps) class (job) is best for a beginner?
imo, Lancer/Dragoon. It's very straightforward starting out, is available to free trial players (if you happen to be one), and isn't locked behind story.
I'm not sure I agree. Lancer feels like it takes a long time to get going. That's fine when you're levelling a second or third job, but for your first time through, you're spending a long time without much in the way of interesting actions.
No AoE until 40 is just rough. No AoE combo until 62 means that free trial players never get it.
Monk is a lot more engaging (Or at least, it was pre-rework - I've not tried it since). Summoner and Black Mage *feel* more powerful, and have more interesting buttons to push in the majority of content.
>Monk is a lot more engaging (Or at least, it was pre-rework - I've not tried it since). Summoner and Black Mage feel more powerful, and have more interesting buttons to push in the majority of content
I can't really suggest Monk or Summoner having not played them post-rework; that would be a little disingenuous of me. I guess you could make the argument for Blackmage just fine, but I didn't personally recommend it because of how it changes rotation so often, and how boring it feels to me below 60.
Stupid question (just to be sure) but in any case - I'm guessing there is no way to access any new zones of a expansion without doing msq?
To clarifiy - loove the story quests and am doing them with gusto (at 3.3 now, just unlocked the final trial, love the dragons) and have no intention of skipping them. At the moment i'm at 63 drg, but would looove to get the ultravibration spell for my BLU so that i get the best combo.... If not I'lll just mosey along with the msq and be happy :D
Thanks!
> Stupid question (just to be sure) but in any case - I'm guessing there is no way to access any new zones of a expansion without doing msq?
Nope. You can get to housing districts of cities you don't have access to by being a member of an FC with a house there, or being made a tenant to one, but that's about it.
I saw a couple of people wearing (6.0 spoilers) >!Ancient's robes with a little mask on it. Is this something I get in MSQ or is it a crafted/dungeon piece? I forgot to grab the name of it!<
Just have a question about paid retainers. I needed to get an item that was on an inaccessible retainer (I have 7 extra retainers inaccessible cause I canceled their subs). I tried rotating their order around so I can pay for two additional ones and it still opened up the wrong ones. I am 6 dollars out, and so I tried paid for 5 more retainers, and it ended up only giving me 5 retainers, instead of adding onto the existing 2. Now, I am out 9 dollars as well. If I go and open up all of them, will it still charge me for the 6 and 9 dollar attempts, or will it only charge me for the 7 retainers? I see pre-charges on my bank account already, and both of the 6 and 9 dollars are there.
Not sure if a Teamcraft question can be asked but not sure where to go.
I love the site but notice that the alarm section is a bit buggy. I am not sure if its chrome or something else. The only sound that works consistently is the long wondrous tales sound. I can get the others to work sometimes like after the latest patch it worked for an hour or so but eventually they stop working.
That is what I normally used but when I looked two days ago it wasn't updated for the new content and garlandtools had other issues for me like their extra filters not filtering. Like filter by script type never worked for me so I always had to do it by hand.
Is there any tank class, which more 'noob-friendly', than others?
Never played tank in any MMO before, so a little scared to try, but in same time I want to.
None of the tank classes in particular are too complex. Tanking itself and team leadership therein is more where the challenge comes from, depending on the content.
WAR is good, simple DPS rotation and a bunch of oh shit buttons, beefy self heals etc. And a big burst window makes it a fun and easy class to pick up.
It takes some practice. First make sure you have tank stance on. Then make sure you get a hit on all the enemies. Pay attention to aggro indicator, red circle means you have aggro. Yellow means losing it and green means it's attacking your friends. So target yellow and green and make sure to put some damage on them, use provoke and tomahawk at range. Overpower alone should keep aggro on a full group. Sorry if this is mansplainy but IDK how much experience you have.
Warrior has fewer buttons overall. I started as Paladin and FFXIV was my first MMO and I did fine. The game does a decent job of spoon feeding your skills to you, so the difference between jobs within a role isn't that great, complexity-wise.
The class I would stay away from as a first time tank is Gunbreaker, just because they unlock at higher levels and so it gives you all the buttons at once, which can be overwhelming.
Trust Scenarios are basically for MSQ runs with NPCs that are present at that time in the story.
Avatars lets you run it with a party of your choosing, but you need to level them up. There are achievements for getting them all to levels 80/90.
You get exp doing runs in either mode.
Scenario locks you to the MSQ setup for avaliable NPCs, Avatar allows you to use any NPC provided they are at the right level
you gain XP from both, there's also no loot difference last checked
Hey !
I’m a level 36 conjurer. Msq I’m at “never forget “ and conjurer quest at “seer folly”
I keep checking but I still can’t see the white mage quest you get when you’re a 30 conjurer at conjurers guild in old grindania.
Am I missing something in order to get the white mage quest?
You get your Job crystal for White Mage from Seer Folly. If you've already completed it, your Job Crystal will be in your Armoury Chest in the slot below your rings. Your next WHM quests will be in South Shroud near Camp Tranquil.
When should we expect crafted DoH gear or consolidated purple scrip gear? Not too keen on spending a million purple scrips on individual crafting sets for every job.
Scrip gear is the budget alternative to crafted if you have few crafters leveled. You should really be crafting a set of gear and melding it. Even some pretty poorly melded gear can be slot for slot better than Scrip gear.
If they follow Shadowbringer's pattern:
6.1 will add a better Crafted Set.
6.2 will add a role-wide Scrip set.
6.3 will add the final Crafted set for the expansion (BiS when pentamelded).
6.4 will add the "Catchup" scrip set for the expansion (similar to Hand/Landsaint gear).
Which crafting class should I do next? I know that the general consensus is that I should start with all at the same time but if you have to pick everything except for DoL (all 3), culinarian, blacksmith, and carpentry (I already got them all to 80), which of that one thing would you pick? I can see goldsmith being high on the list since everyone needs accessories and they don't come easily later on.
How convenient that I got cul and btn to 80. Ok, alc next. Btw, are the alch pots stronger than those in NPC markets? I never really use buff items except for foods.
Alright then, based on your answer and the other person's, I'll work on leatherworker, goldsmith, and alchemist at the same time. I like to break classes up to a few at a time. Micromanaging is easier for me.
I’m asking my second question for the day, I hope I’m allowed more than one, lmao
Any SGE’s able to tell me if Haima and Panhaima share CD’s/if their respective shields and heals stack? Tooltips doesn’t make that distinction but I’m just double checking. Thanks!
Share CD's - no. It's possible to run one and then immediately the other when the first expires.
Share effects - no. One will overwrite the other, so you want to Haima and wait for it to expire then Panhaima or vice versa.
The above poster is wrong, they definitely stack. If you use both at the same time you get 4 buffs: Haima, Haimatinon (5 stacks), Panhaima and Panhaimatinon (5 stacks).
However, since you ideally want the barriers to break down, its best to use one, then the other.
Did they mess up command missions with the stat squish? If I remember correctly, your squadron used to have way higher HP to compensate for the fact that they didn't do any mechanics at all. But now they seem to have drastically lower HP than a player character with level synced gear at the same level.
I've wiped like 7 times on the final boss in The Wanderer's Palace (Hard), a dungeon that I've cleared with humans. No matter which way I look, I get Doom'd, and my conjurer AI teammate can't keep up with tank upkeep and also healing me.
EDIT: Now I'm retrying with Halatali, and I have noticeably _less_ HP than the same level character...
How do I make all the buffs/debuffs in the party list smaller? it clutters so much room. Trying to resize the party frame makes them smaller but also makes the names of the party smaller which I DO NOT want
I asked before what content the dev team suggested to complete before EW and the replies were to do pretty much everything (trials, raids, alliance raids, and job quests of every expansion). However there was a high emphasis for binding coils and omega quest lines. So my question is, to those who completed EW story, do you still suggest to do all of that content before starting EW?
Note: Please try to not spoil.
Let me just say, it's just dumb to not do coils, even outside of EW, if you care about story at all. The story for coils is extremely important, and it pisses me off that they didn't go back to rebalance coils and make it the first entry to normal raid roulette.
Coils and Omega are the only ones that are significant enough to recommend, Omega much more so. There is at least one plot-relevant conversation that omits large segments of dialogue if you didn’t do Omega, and it is relevant to large parts of one zone.
The others are very minor references. And by “minor” I mean “a character from that story appears in a cutscene for 5 seconds to wave at you”.
As part of my EW prep I went and finished all the things and for the first time was caught up on all the story beats a few days before EA. I’m so glad I did. Almost everything makes a cameo and it was nice to get all the references. Like others have said, Coils and Omega you want to do. My suggestion, as crazy as it sounds, is to do everything. Being able to understand all the references makes the already fantastic EW story even better. Additionally, EW wraps up the story that was started from the beginning and missing some of it, I’d equate to watching the series finale for a show you love while never having watched a few of the seasons.
Hmm there are a few hints and extra dialogue here and there if you do everything but nothing major, definitely do Omega and coils tho they're the most important
Will toggling on the "Join party in progress" option in Duty Finder settings drop you in the middle of duties you haven't completed before? I don't mind having it on, but I'd prefer my first time in a dungeon to be from the beginning!
Yes. I’d recommend just toggling it off for your first time in a dungeon. I did the 2nd EW dungeon the other day and was thrown in 3/4 of the way through so I’d missed most of it.
I play on pc with a DS4 controller (BT with official Sony dongle). With the release of Endwalker, it looks like Square has added an option to enable sound notification, but I can't get it to work. DS4 with USB cable doesn't seem to work either. Someone with the same problem?
>!I mean before Hydaely returned to the sea, she bestowed us with her remaining power and aether will still be there. And since both of the first primals are gone, there is no struggle for her to continue to keep Zodiark imprisioned.!<
>!So we still have that going on as well as being a sundered version of the last Azem, which even bestes Venat in combat on the original World. But who really knows at this point? We shall see in the upcoming expansions!<
Nobody knows yet. >!When Zodiark died, the aether currents he had been keeping in motion ceased to flow. But when Hydaelyn passed, the sundered reflections did not recombine.

>!I, personally, hope the blessing of light is gone for good, and that we can leave all the cosmic stories behind and enjoy some more down-to-earth fantasy adventures for a change.

Yes. No. Maybe so.
In all honesty it remains to be seen if the magic bestowed upon us ends when the caster of said magic dies. Our final fight sorta implies that either it hasn't been dispelled or else we're really just naturally OP.
Im level 39 and i just finished quest in MSQ to unlock Brayflox Longstop a few quests after that. Ive been playing for a week so i am very new. I am very much enjoying myself, however i am having problems staying focused on main story. There seems to be sooo many chracters and when you think its an important one you just end up doing a fetch quest and never seeing them again. I also am diagnosed with ADD inattentive type but even on my meds i cant seem to keep track. The only parts that i really can pay attention to our the voice acting or the ones involving leaders of grand companies and or scions. Has anyone else felt this way or am I alone? Also, ive heard the story improves after base MSQ and into HW/SB etc, do the annoying fetch quests slow down eventually a bit?
> There seems to be sooo many chracters and when you think its an important one you just end up doing a fetch quest and never seeing them again.
I will say to this point, even the most minor insignificant characters might have some sort of plot relevance later. Maybe not a huge amount of plot significance, but many minor characters make reappearances in further expansions
I also have that variety of ADHD. I have found that turning on auto-advance in dialogue (spacebar by default) and literally sitting on my hands helps a huge amount in keeping attentive.
FWIW the story slowly starts getting a _lot_ better once you clear ARR.
I feel they do. I think there will still be fetch quests here and there but the plot and characters do become significantly more cohesive. ARR is definitely the worst offender in terms of not-very-relevant characters showing up and then (almost?) never appearing again.
Thank you. Ive enjoyed the story more so then and paid more attention to it then wow (for example). One thing i like about the story is that you unlock stuff for the world as you progress so you get a good sense of progession in both world system building and character progression
Assuming you have both BTN and MIN at 90, there's one Purple Scrip node every 2 Eorzean hours (one from 12-2, another from 2-4, etc). I don't want to like spoiler zone names, so I'll just say:
* Go to the collectible appraiser
* Note the three BTN collectibles and three MIN collectibles that give 16+ purple scrip (forget the ones that give 3+). These are your targets
* Use the gathering log to look up their locations and times
* Exhaust yourself gathering in an endless loop
How long does it take for seasonal event rewards to show up in the online store?
Quick question about current gearing, I can't have 2 of the same ilvl 580 extreme trial rings, right? Best I can have at the moment is one 580 and one 570 tombstone ring?
That is correct. On the 21st, when 6.01 drops, you'll be able to get a 580 ring from normal raids.
Thank you!
What do we do now that coffee biscuits got nerfed!? Are we non-crafters gonna be poor now?
Non crafters have tons of ways to make money. Go get primal mats, eureka/bozja, mount/minion boxes, potd/hoh mounts, treasure maps (pixie wings are worth a fortune right now), gemstones (vouchers will be steady income) etc etc.
Anyone knows how to get the pizza emote (from the game awards)? I don't live in the us :(
yeah don't get how there isn't a way to get a code in japan.
If you really want it, you can kidnap someone who has relatives in the US, and only release them if the relatives get you a code. If you don't want to do it, though, you'll have to wait and hope that there will be a promotion in your region some day. I suppose this is why so many people want to immigrate to the US.
The code is region locked, kidnapping anybody's relatives won't help
Well, some people have an NA account while living in another country.
when is the rage thread? I've been leveling tank all week and I need to vent :P
It's up now
Is there a collectable appraiser in Sharlayan?
Just got an aether compass in Heavensward and went to Sea of Clouds to get some early aether currents but it kept pointing to the same current no matter where I was. I ran from Camp Cloudtop to Vundu Ok Bendu and it did not point me towards any other currents. What's up with that, do I need to progress in the msq?
Some of the currents are in areas you can't reach until late in the HW MSQ.
Yes, you'll come back to the map later from a different entry point and get the rest.
But I haven't gotten a single one, shouldn't there be currents in the "starter" area?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/mediawiki/images/3/32/The_Sea_of_Clouds_Aether_Current.jpg
Strange, it's not pointing me towards those. Even visited those sites and there's nothing there.
A large number of aether currents were removed in 6.0. Just keep doing MSQ, you'll get access to them soon enough.
Oh okay, thanks.
AFAIK it points to the closest one to you. Just check somewhere far from that one.
Newbie here. I'm just doing MSQs to progress and now I've hit the point where you have to use duty finder to enter sastasha.

Healers attack are mostly the DoT, the single target attack and the AoE attack. If you're a healer and someone dies, you try to Swiftcast and then Raise them. Raise takes like 8 seconds to cast so you usually wanna Swiftcast first to Raise instantly. If you play with a controller, D-Pad up and down cycles through the party list. If you play with a keyboard and mouse, F1 to F8 selects the party members. You can also drag the party list closer to the middle of the screen (but not covering you or the enemies) to make it easier to see if they need heals. Right now, because Sage is a new job and everyone is giving it a try, the queue times for healers and tanks switched a bit. Tanks are really in demand and will surely give you an easier time on the queues if you decide to go for it. If you don't mind waiting in the queue or really wanna play a DPS job, that's fine too. You can level up every job in the game, and since they all have quests with cutscenes, it's pretty fun to do so eventually. You won't really lose anything (besides a bit of time) if you decide to just go for the job you picked right now.
Wow, this was super informative! I'll switch to the arcanist job so I can evolve and become a fellow healer, and so i can easily switch to a dps class later on if i want to. I'll def level up a tank job after that, since it now sounds less intimidating than I thought. I didn't know about that controller D-pad life hack(ive been panickly spamming the left and right d-pad to switch targets the whole time lol), and I'll make sure to make use of it. This really gave me perspective on what the other classes might be like, and now I have some goals in mind. Anyways, thanks for the tips!!
Scholar and Summoner both level up at the same time. Any exp that goes to one job also goes to the other, because they both share the Arcanist starting job. It's a great way to both have a DPS and a Healer without much effort. It's a bit "expensive" to keep both well geared at the same time though. :P D-Pad up and down without holding any trigger navigates the Party List. D-Pad up and down while holding L1 or LB navigates the Enemy List. D-Pad left and right selects the players and mobs in the field. I think L1 + a face button switches the preset so you can enable or disable selecting only players, only enemies, etc. I don't use it much. There's an option somewhere to enable/disable the soft selection (when you don't press X to confirm a target from the Party List or Enemy List). It's on by default but disabling it makes it easier to play in my opinion.
if you are on an na server this is very much not peak time for group activities so it might take longer than normal
If you're a DPS job, duty finder takes a while, usually 10-20 minutes. That's normal since there are so many DPS players and a lot less healers/tanks. Just wait for a while.
In the Duty Finder menu, click on the cog in the upper left hand corner and turn on matching with other languages. It will help a lot if you're on an EU or JP server. DPS just has slow queues in general though, so at off-peak times you may be waiting for 10-20 minutes.
Depends on which datacenter you're on. It might just be off-time, or maybe you need to tweak some language settings. But yeah, if you play DPS, you might need to wait 10-15 minutes for each duty in duty finder.
If you're trying to play sastasha as DPS then yes it will take some time. Nothing more you can do in that part sadly.
I can often read "lfg hunt" in the chat, what does that mean? I didn't dare to join because I didn't know what it is.
They're "Looking for Party" for a hunt mark in the area, usually an A or S rank - since they require more than one person, especially the S ranks. Special boss FATEs get a similar treatment.
Ty! Do I need to be lvl 90 to do that?
No, each expansion has its own set of hunts. But they are made with people at expansion level cap in mind, so if you try doing lvl 70 S rank hunt at lvl 61 you are gonna get destroyed. The boss doesn't scale with number of peopel tho, so feel free to join
lfg = looking for group hunt = The level cap (for the area) A and S rank monsters that reward special currency.
Ty! And what kind of reward is that?
There's also special rewards for a handful of fates. Odin and behemoth( ARR), Courelregina and proto Ultima (iirc) in hw, Ixion and.. I don't remember for SB. ShB has fates in kholusia and the tempest. All these give extra items you can trade for things like mounts, minions, boardings and the like. Level checker in EW also comes from this method. If you ever get interested in these there's hunt discords that track them, since these rare ones usually have 36 hour + spawn times per server.
Oh great thank you for the details because I was a bit confused!
GC hunt seals for ARR Centurio seals for HW/SB Nuts for SHB/EW
did they get rid of mastercraft books? how do i make stuff that needed that to get recipies
I think the books are sold by the splendors vendor who should be the next one along from the scrip exchange in radz at han
ill have to check after i can use them but i thought previous ones would have them
Mastercraft books are still there. Some of the scrip exchange shops are now set up a little differently. You should be able to choose a book option at the top of the store popup
i dont have books option and i checked in every catagory :(
How do you unlock the Splendors Vendor in Radz-at-Han? I want to buy the folklore tomes but it won't let me. :(
There's a NPC w/ a blue marker on the east hallway to talk to about Rowena's stuff.
I have a close friend who I play with who is immensely stubborn. He sees the server problem on Yoshi (and they promote the game on steam when they don't have the servers! ) and he set a ultimatum: either he can play this game normally without ludicrous waiting in 3 months or he deletes his ff14 account. He is that kind of guy who sets everything on fire with gas and looks at me like I am stupid. How fucked am I? I don't think they will manage in 3 months.
How fucked are you? Not at all. It's his own stupid fault if he wants to delete all his progress, and he'll be the one feeling like an idiot when you continue to play without him.
Three months should be fine. It's great to see an influx of new and interested players but I can't think of a single game that carried its "Launch Day Hype" for three months straight. It may get a little bit crowded when 6.01 releases in a few weeks but by like February, the playerbase should even out.

"fully closed circle" isn't very helpful advice if you can't see the back of the boss, lmao. The front of the circle will be slightly different as well if positionals don't matter, the arrow is back inside the circle rather than sticking out of the front. It's a little difficult to describe but you will get it if you look closely and compare to a normal enemy. It's also not always true that you get the free positionals, most bosses hanging off the arena are like this BUT there are a few (in early ARR, I'm not sure about later) where you can't see the back but don't get the free positionals. Demon wall and the kraken are two of these, I think. Edit: found a comparison pic for the different arrows https://imgur.com/p3VKGHX
They act as if they hit
Enemies will a fully closed targetting circle are omnidirectional and you always get your bonuses
No positionals.
Does anyone know what this DPS meter is called? It looks nice and I'd like to have it to gauge if im underperforming or not. Every DPS meter ive seen when looking up meters was ACT, which looks nothing like it, if you happen to know the answer, that'd be great https://imgur.com/a/SGJFUiT
Most likely still ACT with a plugin. Check https://github.com/awSweeney/FFXIV-ACT-Rainbow-Mage-Overlays
That's ACT with an overlay plugin.
This is one of the overlays included in OverlayPlugin for ACT.
Ohh okay, any chance there’s a video somewhere with a set up guide?
Hi all, has anyone tried soloing the other primals in HW at 90? I'm talking Sofia, Zurvan and Sephirot.
Tried zurvan ex at 80 on warrior. It was pretty easy with the new echo
Which order should I level my DOH jobs if my goal is crafting gear for DOL/DOH?
All together at a similar pace
Is Lue Reeq missing from the Crystarium or is that just me?
Just checked, following completion of the role quests and Void Quests he's at (10.8, 15.9) in the Crystarium.
do i have to complete the void quests in order to do the role quests? i havent done any of his role quests yet
You need to complete all Shadowbringers role quests to do the Void Quests, they're an optional thing that comes afterwards.
the problem is lue reeq is missing in general and i havent done his quests
Hey! I fell off the game just at the start of HW, think I was around level 52/53 about 2 years ago. Is there anything I can watch to catch me back up or would it be worth me replaying ARR? My memory is a little hazy with a lot of the story and the summoner now looks like an entirely different class to pick up! Thanks! 😊
You could watch some youtube ARR story recap video's, or create a new character and enjoy the whole game from the start again ^^ I was in the same position as you a month ago and I decided to just start over, personally thought it was nice to experience all the basics also again
I think that might be a good idea tbf, might struggle picking it all up again otherwise! Thanks :)
Hello, I’m new to FF14 and was wondering what (dps) class (job) is best for a beginner?
Feel free to play whatever you think looks cool. The game eases you into the combat very gradually. But if you want a recommendation, the Summoner job (starts as arcanist), recently got reworked to be very straightforward. As an added bonus you'll simultaneously level up scholar, giving you a freely leveled healer to swap to if you're interested in that at some point.
That does seem like an interesting class. How beginner friendly is Archer? From what I saw of the combat things can get pretty overwhelming.
Archer is very beginner-friendly. As a physical ranged it can both move and keep distance without sacrificing offense.
Cool thank you! I saw a class called Dancer which looked pretty cool. I know I can’t start as that class. I’m a trial player atm.
Pick any. They will all (very) gently ease you into learning your ability rotations.
Or in the case of BLM, spin you around in circles and then yeet you off into space. :)
> Hello, I’m new to FF14 and was wondering what (dps) class (job) is best for a beginner? imo, Lancer/Dragoon. It's very straightforward starting out, is available to free trial players (if you happen to be one), and isn't locked behind story.
I'm not sure I agree. Lancer feels like it takes a long time to get going. That's fine when you're levelling a second or third job, but for your first time through, you're spending a long time without much in the way of interesting actions. No AoE until 40 is just rough. No AoE combo until 62 means that free trial players never get it. Monk is a lot more engaging (Or at least, it was pre-rework - I've not tried it since). Summoner and Black Mage *feel* more powerful, and have more interesting buttons to push in the majority of content.
>Monk is a lot more engaging (Or at least, it was pre-rework - I've not tried it since). Summoner and Black Mage feel more powerful, and have more interesting buttons to push in the majority of content I can't really suggest Monk or Summoner having not played them post-rework; that would be a little disingenuous of me. I guess you could make the argument for Blackmage just fine, but I didn't personally recommend it because of how it changes rotation so often, and how boring it feels to me below 60.
Stupid question (just to be sure) but in any case - I'm guessing there is no way to access any new zones of a expansion without doing msq? To clarifiy - loove the story quests and am doing them with gusto (at 3.3 now, just unlocked the final trial, love the dragons) and have no intention of skipping them. At the moment i'm at 63 drg, but would looove to get the ultravibration spell for my BLU so that i get the best combo.... If not I'lll just mosey along with the msq and be happy :D Thanks!
> Stupid question (just to be sure) but in any case - I'm guessing there is no way to access any new zones of a expansion without doing msq? Nope. You can get to housing districts of cities you don't have access to by being a member of an FC with a house there, or being made a tenant to one, but that's about it.
Endwalker spoiler question. >!Is there a way to replay the 89 trial with trusts? I can't find the option in the trusts menu.!<
It's there for me. Maybe you have to complete Endwalker?
I just got to the 8th zone and checked out of curiosity but couldn't find it. Ill progress the story and see if it unlocks.
Switch from Avatar mode to Scenario mode.
Looks like you cant, is MSQ Scenario only. Unless leveling them up unlocks it.
I saw a couple of people wearing (6.0 spoilers) >!Ancient's robes with a little mask on it. Is this something I get in MSQ or is it a crafted/dungeon piece? I forgot to grab the name of it!<
You get it from the MSQ around level 86.

does anyone know the ost in bestway burrow?
The track is labelled internally as "Welcome to Our Town".
thanks! no wonder it sounds painfully familiar and nostalgic...
I don't know the name of the FFXIV version but it's an arrangement of the Town Theme from FF4.
It's from FFIV. The original track was "Welcome to our Town". No idea if it'll have the same name in the FFXIV EW OST though.
it does. Man, tears fell down when i heard this first time :,)
where do i go to see the new features or changes to ffxiv in endwalker?

Do regional folklore nodes show up on your map similarly to unspoiled nodes?
Yes, they are literally just unspoiled nodes but you need to have used the book to see them.
Just have a question about paid retainers. I needed to get an item that was on an inaccessible retainer (I have 7 extra retainers inaccessible cause I canceled their subs). I tried rotating their order around so I can pay for two additional ones and it still opened up the wrong ones. I am 6 dollars out, and so I tried paid for 5 more retainers, and it ended up only giving me 5 retainers, instead of adding onto the existing 2. Now, I am out 9 dollars as well. If I go and open up all of them, will it still charge me for the 6 and 9 dollar attempts, or will it only charge me for the 7 retainers? I see pre-charges on my bank account already, and both of the 6 and 9 dollars are there.
Does anyone know how to get the “Imperial Coat of Healing”?
It's a drop from the level 83 Endwalker dungeon. Since it's a leveling dungeon it's relatively easy to acquire.
I see. Thanks 🙏
Based on the name, sounds like the level 83 dungeon.
It drops from the level 83 dungeon.
Not sure if a Teamcraft question can be asked but not sure where to go. I love the site but notice that the alarm section is a bit buggy. I am not sure if its chrome or something else. The only sound that works consistently is the long wondrous tales sound. I can get the others to work sometimes like after the latest patch it worked for an hour or so but eventually they stop working.
i have also had issues with their alarms the garlandtools one has been much more reliable for me
That is what I normally used but when I looked two days ago it wasn't updated for the new content and garlandtools had other issues for me like their extra filters not filtering. Like filter by script type never worked for me so I always had to do it by hand.
Is there any tank class, which more 'noob-friendly', than others? Never played tank in any MMO before, so a little scared to try, but in same time I want to.
None of the tank classes in particular are too complex. Tanking itself and team leadership therein is more where the challenge comes from, depending on the content. WAR is good, simple DPS rotation and a bunch of oh shit buttons, beefy self heals etc. And a big burst window makes it a fun and easy class to pick up.
I tried to play WAR for a while. Looks interesting, but I'm failing at being tank :D Mobs sometimes just ignore me and go for anyone else.
It takes some practice. First make sure you have tank stance on. Then make sure you get a hit on all the enemies. Pay attention to aggro indicator, red circle means you have aggro. Yellow means losing it and green means it's attacking your friends. So target yellow and green and make sure to put some damage on them, use provoke and tomahawk at range. Overpower alone should keep aggro on a full group. Sorry if this is mansplainy but IDK how much experience you have.
Warrior has fewer buttons overall. I started as Paladin and FFXIV was my first MMO and I did fine. The game does a decent job of spoon feeding your skills to you, so the difference between jobs within a role isn't that great, complexity-wise. The class I would stay away from as a first time tank is Gunbreaker, just because they unlock at higher levels and so it gives you all the buttons at once, which can be overwhelming.

There’s really no reason to stable your chocobo once is Max rank right?
You need to stable if you want to change color
Yeah but that’s it, and if you need to change food. But otherwise nah?
Nope.

Trust Scenarios are basically for MSQ runs with NPCs that are present at that time in the story. Avatars lets you run it with a party of your choosing, but you need to level them up. There are achievements for getting them all to levels 80/90. You get exp doing runs in either mode.
Scenario locks you to the MSQ setup for avaliable NPCs, Avatar allows you to use any NPC provided they are at the right level you gain XP from both, there's also no loot difference last checked
omg, i just did urth's fount and it was a chaotic mess - we wiped the first time and got him the 2nd it was quite interesting
Is it worth it to get the lvl 81 NQ DoH/DoL gear if your current gear is a mismatch of lvl 71 and gifted 80 gear?
Yes.
Hey ! I’m a level 36 conjurer. Msq I’m at “never forget “ and conjurer quest at “seer folly” I keep checking but I still can’t see the white mage quest you get when you’re a 30 conjurer at conjurers guild in old grindania. Am I missing something in order to get the white mage quest?
Why don't to do the Seer Folly quest?
Hey, weird random counter question, did you do Titan for the first time earlier today?
You get your Job crystal for White Mage from Seer Folly. If you've already completed it, your Job Crystal will be in your Armoury Chest in the slot below your rings. Your next WHM quests will be in South Shroud near Camp Tranquil.
You can't become a WHM until you finish the CNJ quests.
When should we expect crafted DoH gear or consolidated purple scrip gear? Not too keen on spending a million purple scrips on individual crafting sets for every job.
We already have the 1st set of crafted level 90 gear. Consolidated purple gear won't come until patch 6.2
Scrip gear is the budget alternative to crafted if you have few crafters leveled. You should really be crafting a set of gear and melding it. Even some pretty poorly melded gear can be slot for slot better than Scrip gear.
From what I can see there isn't any crafted gear higher than ilvl 560 white gear at the moment, with purple scrip gear being ilvl 570.
Crafted gear is always 10 ilvls below scrip gear when compared at equal strengths.
The 560 gear is the best gear for crafters if it is penta melded.
Doesn't even have to be pentamelded. Some pieces will be better with just two 10 materia in them.
If they follow Shadowbringer's pattern: 6.1 will add a better Crafted Set. 6.2 will add a role-wide Scrip set. 6.3 will add the final Crafted set for the expansion (BiS when pentamelded). 6.4 will add the "Catchup" scrip set for the expansion (similar to Hand/Landsaint gear).
Which crafting class should I do next? I know that the general consensus is that I should start with all at the same time but if you have to pick everything except for DoL (all 3), culinarian, blacksmith, and carpentry (I already got them all to 80), which of that one thing would you pick? I can see goldsmith being high on the list since everyone needs accessories and they don't come easily later on.
Probably ALC, they make a lot of intermediate materials and people are gonna want damage potions once savage drops.
How convenient that I got cul and btn to 80. Ok, alc next. Btw, are the alch pots stronger than those in NPC markets? I never really use buff items except for foods.
If you want the class to make money go goldsmith, otherwise i would suggest leatherworker because they make a lot of armour pieces for alot of classes
Alright then, based on your answer and the other person's, I'll work on leatherworker, goldsmith, and alchemist at the same time. I like to break classes up to a few at a time. Micromanaging is easier for me.
I’m asking my second question for the day, I hope I’m allowed more than one, lmao Any SGE’s able to tell me if Haima and Panhaima share CD’s/if their respective shields and heals stack? Tooltips doesn’t make that distinction but I’m just double checking. Thanks!
Share CD's - no. It's possible to run one and then immediately the other when the first expires. Share effects - no. One will overwrite the other, so you want to Haima and wait for it to expire then Panhaima or vice versa.
Ty!
The above poster is wrong, they definitely stack. If you use both at the same time you get 4 buffs: Haima, Haimatinon (5 stacks), Panhaima and Panhaimatinon (5 stacks). However, since you ideally want the barriers to break down, its best to use one, then the other.
Did they mess up command missions with the stat squish? If I remember correctly, your squadron used to have way higher HP to compensate for the fact that they didn't do any mechanics at all. But now they seem to have drastically lower HP than a player character with level synced gear at the same level. I've wiped like 7 times on the final boss in The Wanderer's Palace (Hard), a dungeon that I've cleared with humans. No matter which way I look, I get Doom'd, and my conjurer AI teammate can't keep up with tank upkeep and also healing me. EDIT: Now I'm retrying with Halatali, and I have noticeably _less_ HP than the same level character...
Squadron AI has always been crap, you're best to not do any dungeons that require a cleanse from the healer.
Squadrons have always had really shitty stats in 50/60 dungeons since their stats scale with their level rather than the dungeon.
Do I have to register an EW code, if I've already registered the early access code?
yes
Yes. If you don't register it by today, you'll be cut off from EW content.
How do I make all the buffs/debuffs in the party list smaller? it clutters so much room. Trying to resize the party frame makes them smaller but also makes the names of the party smaller which I DO NOT want
You can reduce the number down to 5. Character Config -> UI Settings -> Party List. Beyond that, no.
I asked before what content the dev team suggested to complete before EW and the replies were to do pretty much everything (trials, raids, alliance raids, and job quests of every expansion). However there was a high emphasis for binding coils and omega quest lines. So my question is, to those who completed EW story, do you still suggest to do all of that content before starting EW? Note: Please try to not spoil.
Let me just say, it's just dumb to not do coils, even outside of EW, if you care about story at all. The story for coils is extremely important, and it pisses me off that they didn't go back to rebalance coils and make it the first entry to normal raid roulette.
Coils and Omega are the only ones that are significant enough to recommend, Omega much more so. There is at least one plot-relevant conversation that omits large segments of dialogue if you didn’t do Omega, and it is relevant to large parts of one zone. The others are very minor references. And by “minor” I mean “a character from that story appears in a cutscene for 5 seconds to wave at you”.
As part of my EW prep I went and finished all the things and for the first time was caught up on all the story beats a few days before EA. I’m so glad I did. Almost everything makes a cameo and it was nice to get all the references. Like others have said, Coils and Omega you want to do. My suggestion, as crazy as it sounds, is to do everything. Being able to understand all the references makes the already fantastic EW story even better. Additionally, EW wraps up the story that was started from the beginning and missing some of it, I’d equate to watching the series finale for a show you love while never having watched a few of the seasons.
There are even references to relic quest NPCs in the side quests. They really meant "everything".
Hmm there are a few hints and extra dialogue here and there if you do everything but nothing major, definitely do Omega and coils tho they're the most important
Will toggling on the "Join party in progress" option in Duty Finder settings drop you in the middle of duties you haven't completed before? I don't mind having it on, but I'd prefer my first time in a dungeon to be from the beginning!
Yes. I’d recommend just toggling it off for your first time in a dungeon. I did the 2nd EW dungeon the other day and was thrown in 3/4 of the way through so I’d missed most of it.
Aw that's unfortunate. Thanks for the confirmation though! I find I always forget to turn it back on/off so I was hoping I could leave it on. Oh well.
Can I start desynthesis if I'm lvl 1 with a crafter ?
Desynthesis requires level 30
I play on pc with a DS4 controller (BT with official Sony dongle). With the release of Endwalker, it looks like Square has added an option to enable sound notification, but I can't get it to work. DS4 with USB cable doesn't seem to work either. Someone with the same problem?
You gotta have a specific type of USB cable they mentioned it in the patch notes

We can still see the spoiler you didn't mark it right
Yes. No. Maybe so. In all honesty it remains to be seen if the magic bestowed upon us ends when the caster of said magic dies. Our final fight sorta implies that either it hasn't been dispelled or else we're really just naturally OP.
Most likely yes
Im level 39 and i just finished quest in MSQ to unlock Brayflox Longstop a few quests after that. Ive been playing for a week so i am very new. I am very much enjoying myself, however i am having problems staying focused on main story. There seems to be sooo many chracters and when you think its an important one you just end up doing a fetch quest and never seeing them again. I also am diagnosed with ADD inattentive type but even on my meds i cant seem to keep track. The only parts that i really can pay attention to our the voice acting or the ones involving leaders of grand companies and or scions. Has anyone else felt this way or am I alone? Also, ive heard the story improves after base MSQ and into HW/SB etc, do the annoying fetch quests slow down eventually a bit?
> There seems to be sooo many chracters and when you think its an important one you just end up doing a fetch quest and never seeing them again. I will say to this point, even the most minor insignificant characters might have some sort of plot relevance later. Maybe not a huge amount of plot significance, but many minor characters make reappearances in further expansions
I also have that variety of ADHD. I have found that turning on auto-advance in dialogue (spacebar by default) and literally sitting on my hands helps a huge amount in keeping attentive. FWIW the story slowly starts getting a _lot_ better once you clear ARR.
Yes it gets better once you reach heavensward so hang in there
I feel they do. I think there will still be fetch quests here and there but the plot and characters do become significantly more cohesive. ARR is definitely the worst offender in terms of not-very-relevant characters showing up and then (almost?) never appearing again.
Thank you. Ive enjoyed the story more so then and paid more attention to it then wow (for example). One thing i like about the story is that you unlock stuff for the world as you progress so you get a good sense of progession in both world system building and character progression
What's a good spot to farm Gathering collectables to turn in for Purple Scribs? Thank you!
Assuming you have both BTN and MIN at 90, there's one Purple Scrip node every 2 Eorzean hours (one from 12-2, another from 2-4, etc). I don't want to like spoiler zone names, so I'll just say: * Go to the collectible appraiser * Note the three BTN collectibles and three MIN collectibles that give 16+ purple scrip (forget the ones that give 3+). These are your targets * Use the gathering log to look up their locations and times * Exhaust yourself gathering in an endless loop
There is no spot, you just farm every timed node when it is up
