How do I do an unsynced dungeon?

[Raldo]

At the top-left of the duty finder window, there's a little gear button. Click that, select "Undersized Party", and hit "OK" or "Save" or whatever it is. Select your duty, and queue up.

I bought the game years back from SE directly. Now I see that Steam has the expansions on sale. I bought it, got my keys but it says invalid key on Mog Station. What gives?

[octopus]

You can't mix and match steam and non-steam.

[Egon]

Are you serious? This is the stupidest thing ever. Refund time then, sorry SE, no $10 from me.

Is the refer a friend still a thing? I found the website for it, I click the link, I log in to the page and then I can't find refer a friend anywhere on that page like it said it should be?

Click on Your Account


Then click on the Refer a Friend banner

[Jem]

Yeah figured it out. Apparently my credit card didn't run correctly last night so my main account wasn't actually subscribed and so it wasn't showing up for me.

Now just to try figure out how to activate this on a PS4 account

Although honestly at this point I've been navigating through Square's shitshow of a convulted account system for so long I now no longer care if I can't figure it out

[Fiye]

I thought you just applied the code to the PSN and it made you link your PSN account to your Squeenix account?

TBH its been 4 years since I bought the physical PS4 CE.

[Jem]

The process is this

1. Insert game disk
2. Log into PSN store and register the code via store
3. Start up FFXIV
4. Create new Square Enix account
5. Login to Square Enix account on desktop/what ever
6. Hit recruitment code button
7. Enter referral code received from friend or main account

It's a simple process complicated by SEs supporting literature. The registration code in the PS4 box suggests that as soon as you enter the registration code on PSN store it binds your PSN account email to a Square Enix account when actually you create the Square Enix account (or login your existing account) further in the process and then bind it to the PSN account with a prompt. The refer a friend literature says that you can't enter the referral code after subscription and entering the registration code on PSN store gives you 30 days subscription. But what it actually means is after 1st paid subscription.

So if you actually read the material they provide it becomes confusing as what it says happens and what actually happens doesn't match up. And I made sure I read everything as I was concerned about it binding the PS4 code to my main account due to the PSN account email matching my Square enix account email

ryumyaku weave (armor) / ryumyaku polish (belt/jewelry) / ryumyaku solvent (weapon)

polish drops in O6S (+purchasable with pages), weave drops in O7S (+pages), solvent drops in O7S
can also buy solvents by doing 7 weekly runs of O8N (normal) and polishes/weaves by exchanging your weekly token from Ridorana + Rabanastre (need both tokens for one polish/weave)

check the NPCs at Rhalgr's (near the zone to the Peaks) for all of the exchanges

What does O6S and O7S mean in this context? Is that sigmascape savage 1/2/3/4?

[Shaano]

Sigma 2 and 3 yes

couple questions. trying out rdm and i was wondering... did macros ever get adjusted so that you can prep another cast while the first one is finishing, or is there still the small dps hit from not being able to do this like with using actions? and if this is still the case, would it hurt my rdm's dps much if i used it for say, verthunder/verfire and veraero/verstone? basically so that it casts fire/stone if i have the proc and if not, then the other?

And the other question i have is if there's a way to disable the directional arrow keys on the numpad while leaving the normal ones intact. basically, i was wanting to hold shift while pressing other keys to have more easy to reach macros, but the problem is, shift + directional arrow keys is various targetting, so when holding shift, my movement automatically stops. (because instead of being able to move with the numpad like normal, it's now thinking im hitting directional arrow keys, as numpad shift function is the same as those four buttons. thank you, idiot keyboard designers.)

If i could disable that secondary function of numpad then i could hold shift and use macros while running and dodging, so i'm rather keen on finding a solution to this.

[Fiye]

I would try it on a dummy first. But I'd imagine it work like this.

Jolt II/Impact

/ac Impact <t>
/ac "Jolt II" <t>
/micon "Jolt II"

Verthunder/Verfire

/ac Verfire <t>
/ac Verthunder <t>
/micon Verthunder

Veraero/Verstone

/ac Verstone <t>
/ac Veraero <t>
/micon Veraero

You might want to add an /actionerror off(Or /aerror off) if that isn't a toggle to each macro. These macro's shouldn't cause you to clip your GCDs I hope.

TO answer your second question you should be able to disable key bindings to that by right clicking everything related to the up down left right arrows. Just remember to save before you exit the window.

[Psion]

as far as the second one goes, i know that i could disable anything related to those and get shift keys back... but i use those arrows for targetting through npcs (left right) and the party member list (up down). not really keen on losing that functionality. that's why i just want to be able to disable the shift + # arrow keys on numpad...somehow, while leaving the actual arrow key buttons alone for targeting. a weird request, i know, but would make things a lot easier for me, even if i have to use a third party program for it.

[solracht]

answering the first question, macros still don't queue which is annoying as hell

that would definitely be my #1 QOL fix, make macros queue like regular actions... would make intervention/shirk/cover/salted earth feel so much smoother (since these are usually macro'd)

[Buffy]

4.4 will be the new hard raids right, that replaced i370 gear and i375 weapons? then 4.5 will be the new 24 man?

[Shaano]

Yep, whatever ilvl is the last one will be it till 5.0
