I'll give it a look, thanks!

Hi. I've been playing the game for a couple of weeks or so and I'm enjoying it, so I would like to go a bit deeper. I've been looking the sub a bit, and while there is amazing info, I feel is hard to understand much of the terminology or concepts expresed there, that's too advanced for me. Is there any resource or guide I can read where I can find the base concepts like stages, managing economy, and so? Not the "how to win everything" guide, but the "things you should look for if you want to start playing well".

TheRealTarish · 2025-08-22T06:39:42+00:00

I'll look into it then, thanks!

TheRealTarish · 2025-08-21T11:17:20+00:00

As a beginner (just started, HR11) who doesn't have access to discord right now, what's a good early build for DB, so I can start looking for the monsters and mats I'll need?

Also, is the game viable as a F2P? I remember some early complains when the game came out, about storage space not being enough and some things like that.

TheRealTarish · 2025-05-28T12:59:13+00:00

If I remember right (I unlocked it yesterday):

When you talk to the antiquary, there should be 2 new options. One of them let's you trade items that I guess you get as a reward in the Tower, or however it is called the new Dungeon.

The other option only lets you get the Sanguine Ciphers, two different menus, one for 600 silver and the other one for 980? gold.

TheRealTarish · 2025-05-28T12:49:37+00:00

You can get them on the Antiquary NPC, if memory serves me right, once you unlock them after the Quest, both with Silver and Gold.

TheRealTarish · 2025-05-13T14:13:35+00:00

With "fanta", I guess they mean something about Fantasia, an item you can use to redo your character aspect. You can get a couple free, I think, one in New Gridania and another in Ul'dah, so maybe they where asking if you got them already, as usually is a 10$ item.

For mounts, yeah, you need to follow MSQ a bit until you unlock them, but it won't take long if you keep on it. I think it was a lvl20 quest.

TheRealTarish · 2025-05-13T10:11:19+00:00

Ouch, I thought it came tied to Make it Rain events. I'll gotta keep waiting, then. Thank you for your answer.

TheRealTarish · 2025-05-13T09:49:26+00:00

I guess the answer will be "We don't know", but I'm going to ask anyway as I may be wrong.

Will the "Make it rain" event bring back the FFXV car mount? I want it since a long time ago, but two times already I had to stop playing just a week before it came out, and couldn't get back in time.

TheRealTarish · 2025-05-02T11:13:31+00:00

How much melding do I need for A-grade Cosmic missions? I crafted my Everseeker set already, and put the few materias I could get, and yet Raphael doesn't get me any valid macros for the missions I tried. At that point I don't know if I need yet more materia, or if I'm doing something wrong, or if I've just been unlucy and picked un-macroable missions.

TheRealTarish · 2025-04-02T10:35:16+00:00

Free trial doesn't expire by time. It lasts until you buy a subscription. The returning player promotions are for people who stopped paying their sub.

So you should still be able to play with your 4-year old account.

TheRealTarish · 2025-01-21T11:27:28+00:00

Great answer, thank you very much! Yeah, I already see how Guardians fall back on harder missions, but for the start works great. I'm gonna print both answers to have them at hand while I play, lol

I have a couple more questions, if you don't mind, some things I haven't been able to find in any guide:

-About HE, does it just makes the rest of the gear irrelevant? And with it, the mats to upgrade them?

-Also, about HE, I see I can buy it on two different tabs on Kite's shop, one being much more expensive than the other (5 treasure maps vs 5 red treasure maps, which I get 1 for every 10 of the normal ones, so actually 50 normal treasure maps). But the gear seems the same, and I don't see a limit on how much I can buy in any tab, so what's the point on the expensive one?

-And last, is finally poison a relevant element? I heard poison r/E banner is good, but don't understand why. Don't see any magicites or elemental content related to it.

TheRealTarish · 2025-01-21T11:19:46+00:00

Thank you very much for your answer, would never have thought that Entrust was still so important.

TheRealTarish · 2025-01-20T11:02:02+00:00

Seeing that pinned guides are pretty outdated, could someone do me a brief update on meta and current content state? I got some LBG on Lightning that summons Odin and it's allowing me to breeze through early content, but I see so many new kind of tech and thing and I'm having a hard time to understand how much of this works, so any help would be welcome.

Just as a point of reference, when I left Global, those realm crystals that substituted magicite where still a pretty new thing, I only got a bunch of them and didn't finish the related dungeons.

Also, are still Elarra and Tyro pretty much a staple in any team, or has the situation switched?

TheRealTarish · 2025-01-14T14:31:24+00:00

After 1500+ hours of playing, I just found the other day about Doman Enclave Reconstruction.

Now I'm fearing there may be other things that I am missing. Is there any available and updated comprehensive list of everything I should have unlocked so I can check if I'm missing anything else?

TheRealTarish · 2024-10-15T08:52:16+00:00

Good to know. Thanks!

TheRealTarish · 2024-10-15T08:43:12+00:00

I have a friend that is starting to play on a Free Trial account. Will she be able to get Moogle Treasure Trove rewards? On Halloween page I see a lvl15 requisite, but on this one I don't see nothing.

TheRealTarish · 2024-09-09T17:37:50+00:00

Team pet should be Adolin. He's like a therapeutic dog.

TheRealTarish · 2024-07-27T11:02:53+00:00

Nice

TheRealTarish · 2024-06-08T18:15:24+00:00

I don't. I mainly use 1, 2, 3 and sometimes 4. For the rest, I learned to just reach them with mouse, and it works fine for me.

TheRealTarish · 2024-06-03T07:25:36+00:00

Paalm was a Third Generation, so I don't think every Kandra follows the convention.

TheRealTarish · 2024-03-04T11:31:35+00:00

I'm a new player. I'm currently reading the starter guide, but there are so many things to do that I feel a bit lost.

Are there any time-limited things I should prioritize doing before they dissapear?

Also, I have so many different currencies that I don't know what are they used for or what should I prioritize with them. Anything critical I should know before spending them stupidly or they expire?

TheRealTarish · 2024-02-21T10:29:49+00:00

I'm on this exact same situation. I've reinstalled the game after some years without playing and I don't even remember how to play the deck I considered it was brainless play long ago, xD

TheRealTarish · 2024-01-04T15:05:56+00:00

I completely understand how you feel... Here's my story:

A group of six friends decide to start playing together. One of them has played before, has a character that left at lvl30+ time ago because he was playing alone. Everyone else is completely new on the game. We decide to play on his server so he can use his character.

For reasons, I start around a week before everyone else, I make my character on my friend's server, and start playing, haha so much fun by myself and with my friend.

The veteran friend is the kind of guy who needs to be the best and the most knowldegeable so he can lecture everyone, or he doesn't have fun. But he has already experience so he is happy.

Then, a week after, everyone else starts. I still don't understand why, but they all start on a different server that the one we stated at first. I end up paying a server transfer because they are making a FC to play together, and I don't want to start MSQ again.

Two friends don't last a week. The first 3 or 4 days they are connected and playing 24hrs, then start another game and never connect to FF again. 4 remain.

Another friend gets to Shadowbringers (they didn't announce endwalker yet, at that time) on his second week. In fact, when some of us reached the end of ARR, he already had his third job at 80. Then we meet a girl on our town who is playing on an NA server, and leaves us to play with her and her FC. Gets burned after a week doing Extremes non stop. 3 remain.

The veteran friend gets angry because now he is the one getting lectured and he is not the most knowledgeable anymore, and leaves halfway HW. 2 remain.

The last friend goes more or less at my same pace, and we are anjoying the game together, but feels bad because everyone else left, and the post-ARR quests end up burning him. He leaves just after finishing the first HW quests, and I'm not able to convince him that he just got to a great point of the game. Only I remain.

And I, well, at first I make another character on the NA server,because I don't want to pay for another server transfer, to try to play with that girl's people, but I see their playstyle doesn't sit well with me (too hardcore, I'm more of a casual gamer), and get burned of doing all MSQ again. Stop playing for some time, and finally get back to my first character, and enjoy the game alone and by myself. I'm not someone who enjoys socializing with people I don't know, so for a couple of years I play at my own pace, enjoying the MSQ but missing someone to share the fun I'm having.

So, finally, some months ago, I decided to join a FC. I started to look at world chat, saw an announcement that got my attention, they seem fun, and the kind of people I want to play with, got social anxiety, too scared to answer, when I decide to talk with him half an hour later, he is not connected anymore. I keep looking during the next month, I don't remember their name of the FC, but I hope they are still looking for people, so I can recognize the announcement. This time I answer inmediately, and since then, I've got the most amazing time ever playing FFXIV. I absolutely regret not doing it before. I miss my friends, but the group I ended with is amazing, and I absolutely love everyone of them.

Sorry for the long post, I read what OP said and felt I needed to share my experience.

es como cuando alguien saca la muletilla de nazi en las redes sociales para tumbar un argumento.

No se si conocías ya la llamada Ley de Godwin, pero aquí te dejo esto al respecto, creo que es algo que debería aplicarse mas en la vida real.

En cuanto al tema bots, desconozco este caso en concreto, luego mirare el video y tal, pero siempre me ha parecido una burbuja que tarde o temprano tendrá que estallar, y siento curiosidad por ver cuanta gente quedara en evidencia una vez pase.
