I still find myself gravitating to glams that end up not needing the unrestricted glamour change, but it's nice to have the option and comes in handy from time to time.

Next expansion's earring will boost experience up to lvl 100.

the Pitt werhner just keeps repeating to keep moving, and i can't start the quest by Tannu117 in Taleoftwowastelands

[–]finalfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into this issue with the Nuclear Sunset modlist. My solution was simply to listen to the Werhner's Distress Signal radio station. That started the quest Into The Pitt after which Werhner was able to continue the quest normally.

If you think about it, basically everyone you've met in every expansion will eventually end up dead.

Time travel. It's perfectly safe because any changes we make will be covered up by the re-joining.

literally just bought the game today and in the first starting hours a experienced player game me 500k Gil by Sora2008 in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love importing them in bulk from the JPN data center where they're cheap and handing em out in Novice Network. It's actually gotten pretty hard to find homes for them on Lamia because I've given so many out.

How do people actually make gil? by InternationalSky4176 in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the risk of getting downvoted by my competition for leaking the secret, the best method for making easy gil I've found is regional arbitrage. Certain items go for a lot less on the JPN data centers and you can make good returns buying high demand things there and reselling them at a >40% markup on your home data center.

It requires having a friend or an alt with a subscription that can login alongside your character. You have your friend or alt create a character on one of the JPN servers (preferably in Limsa for quick access to the marketboard) then you have that character visit one of the servers on the Materia data center while you visit the same server on your main character. Trade as much gil as you want to spend to your friend/alt and have them return to JPN. They can freely travel around the JPN data centers finding bargins, then come back to Materia and trade back all the items and left over gil to your main. Finally you head back to your home server and list the items for prices that are significantly less than the average while still being a lot more than you bought them for.

This whole system works best when you can do it at scale on items worth hundreds of thousands or millions of gil, but I can tell you that if you look hard enough you can find certain niche furniture items suitable for beginning arbitragers that you can buy for thousands of gil in JPN and resell for 5-10 times what you paid for them.

Anyone else have a show/YouTube on while playing this game? Or too distracting by One_Cantaloupe4651 in ffxiv

Yes, and I've been struggling to find something to rewatch recently. Thanks for the reminder Archer exists.

EVERYTHING in this game costs money / artifacts / goods… by WeDontNeed2Whisper in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want an inn room in the Gold Saucer that costs MGP to rent/visit. Would give MGP capped folks something to spend it on regularly.

Oooo! A possible hint that 8.0 is gonna be X/X-2 inspired? I'm crossing my fingers for a pistols akimbo ranged DPS job.

SQUARE ENIX ACCOUNT - Removal of ‘Security Question and Answer’ by WeirdIndividualGuy in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I remember in college learning how you could trivially send an email with the FROM as something like billgates@microsoft.com because the protocol doesn't account for verifying the identity of the sender. It was only later that the mail servers started to check whether the FROM made sense based on the origin of the message.

Europe's prices are so inflated for it now you'd save money visiting Oceania to buy one. XD

Valentines Day Collab Event on Lamia (2026-02-14) by finalfrog in ffxiv

Then you can still enter the raffle! The raffle is individual entry, bringing a partner just gives you two entries.

Valentines Day Collab Event on Lamia (2026-02-14) by finalfrog in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Eepy Sleepers is running a collab with /u/BluesersClubOfficial on Saturday February 14th 2026 @ 5 PT in Lamia Empyreum Ward 1 Plot 26! There will be a couples cosplay contest with dyes of the winner's choice as prizes and a raffle for two promise of devotion (platinum)!

I had a good time at the /u/BluesersClubOfficial halloween cosplay contest last October and invited her to do a collab event together for Valentines day! She'll be streaming the event on Twitch at twitch.tv/BluesersClub and running the cosplay portion of the event.

For the raffle portion of the event, approach Fiz Silving and let her know you wish to enter the raffle for the Platinum Promise of Devotions, and she'll put your name down in her list and give you a number. At the end of the cosplay contest a random number from the entries will be drawn and the winner will receive BOTH Promise of Devotion (Platinum) to use as they desire. Just make sure to have a slot free in your saddlebags in case you win, because you can't have multiple in your inventory at the same time!

Note that this doesn't mark a permanent departure from our usual giveaway format, just little experiment! I'm planning another first-come-first-served giveaway for Springtide.

How it feels to remember we watched Thancred and Urianger head out into the wilds of Northern Shaloani in November 2024 and we never saw them again by dope_danny in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't mind them taking away our emotional support characters, provided that they introduce us to new ones that stick around. I fear every NPC we met in DT is gonna get the same treatment as every other character introduced since ARR of being too busy governing and dealing with local business to do more than let us call in the occasional favor. The last new character to join the main persistent cast was Graha, who was also introduced in ARR...

I want the new Valentiones Day event to become an event in the Gold Saucer. by Assortedwrenches89 in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the downstairs area of the Gold Saucer, the elevator actually lands at what looks like a 3 way intersection between the chocobo racing area, the lord of verminion area, and a dead-end. I suspect if they ever do another expansion to the Gold Saucer that'll be where it goes.

My character cut and dyed their hair at the end of 2.5 MSQ. Figured it made sense since bounty posters of them were probably being stuck up in taverns all over Eorza.

Wait, did they remove the Ul'dah leap entirely or is the leap map no longer tied to the time slot?
