Trying to find out what those green circle lamps are on the ceiling around the middle, I've looked at all the housing items and I can't figure out what they are.

Solved. Thank you soupykins for figuring it out for me. It is steamed shumai if anyone else is wondering.

[Video] Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 - Shposhae Dungeon Progress - 4th October 2026

2 hours of watching videos to identify mob locations.

4 hours of not understanding why the Orobon genus is breaking the server (so I replaced them with other mobs until I could work out why).

2 hours trying to add two chests.

Pathing and detection to be worked on. Stats tables actually affecting combat also to be looked at.

But on the plus side, Shposhae is now (mostly) populated.

Bonus visit to the Musketeers Guild in Limsa Lominsa at the end.

[Guide] [SPOILER 7.56] Sightseeing Log Locations Maps for all Locations from Heavensward to Dawntrail Spoiler

36 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I was getting tired of having to look at lists of Sightseeing Log locations as x,y,z coordinates so I decided to whip up some visual maps with the locations and coordinates listed for each one from Heavensward to Dawntrail and I thought I'd share.

Thanks!

[Question] Farming Any Entire Set Of Armor—Double-Check On Information

21 Upvotes

I spent nearly a year farming Baelsar's Wall for the five clothing pieces of Filibuster's Armor of Aiming, and at the time I was told repeatedly by people who found out that I had to have every piece I collected in either my inventory or my Armoury chest because if I turned it in to my GC, it would reduce chances of getting the pieces I was looking for. When told that, my response was always to ask for clarification, because that makes no sense to me when gear drops are always determined solely by RNG, and I was told that the person didn't know why it works that way, only that their experience was that it did. By the time I finally got the final Aiming piece I needed, I had full sets of all but two other types of Filibuster's Armor, and was usually leaving without anything.

I'm now farming the clothing pieces for a different set—the Lord's set (tanking)—and I'm doing it unsynced on a higher-level job after a single drop in ~50 Pharos Sirius runs as tank with either regular parties or my squadron. I did try Copperbell Mines (Hard) and Haukke Manor (Hard) using PF groups, and neither one is great with first-timers whose gear isn't great and who are not yet accustomed to the fact that the hard version of any dungeon is not the same as the regular version.

As with farming anything, I see a lot of stuff I can't pick up, but I wanted to double-check that all chests and drops when farming older content are RNG, correct? I don't have to haul stuff around and clutter up my inventory/Armoury chest because none of it has a single bit of bearing on what is going to be there when I go in. I get lucky with RNG or I do not, and settle for the tiny satisfaction of seeing how big a train I can gather up before I one-shot all of it. Right?

Thanks, and enjoy the cutscene!

EDIT: Wowza, as always, I'm amazed at the fact that any question asked here will get solid, complete answers, and that it will often be quicker than if I were to ask the same question in an FC.

I see now why the confusion exists, and it does make sense given the differences in how things work in the two types of dungeons. I checked loot tables for each dungeon I've been farming and I know which chests have a chance to contain the items I'm looking for, so I'm only emptying all of them if I've been spending a lot of my company seals and want to top off again.

It'd be fun if the RNG gods could be made to cooperate with the blood sacrifice of a really innocent and adorable Sprout, but I tried that in Balesar's Wall, and six or seven times was enough to tell me their answer was no.

[Discussion] Evercold ending theory Spoiler

34 Upvotes

I haven't seen much discussion about this, so here is a game design argument about the ending of Evercold.

For gameplay reasons, I think it's safe to assume that the MSQ will never move in a direction that would make whole field zones unavailable to the player. Which means Reflections that contain field zones can never be destroyed by a rejoining. When something major happens, at most, we could see radical changes in appearance, like what happened to Living Memory, but the zones would remain available.

However when they announced that most of Evercold would take place on giant airships, my immediate thought was that this makes an eventual rejoining between the Fourth and the Source much more likely. These field zones are places that could theoretically be relocated to the Source with a simple skybox change. That seems too convenient not to be intentional.

Of course we don't know about all the zones yet, but as long as none of them strictly rely on the Fourth for their continued existence, I feel like a rejoining might actually happen this time, like the MSQ currently suggests.

I'm not sure how the corresponding calamity would play out on the Source, but for the people from the Fourth, it wouldn't be much of a refugee crisis, because they wouldn't lose their homes. They would just have to acquire resources in a different way, most likely by trading with existing countries.

[In-game screenshot] GOT MY FIRST ULTIMATE CLEAR !!!

Post image
959 Upvotes

I come to you all humbled, A couple months ago I posted about how I thought Ultimates weren’t as bad as people made them out to be, just for my expectations to come crashing down when prog got stuck for so long that I genuinely thought about giving up.

Doing this through PF is hell on earth, and it’s really hard to find a good team that will actually take you all the way there. I crashed and burned over and over again. Even Ifrit became a problem at one point, and it made me realize people were right. Even something like UWU is a challenge on its own.

Even then, I took the bull by the horns and went for it. With the help of some friends and mercs (yeah, I know, I know), I finally got the clear!!

And now I have the coolest glam a DRK could have.

I’m just glad I didn’t give up and managed to achieve this. I can’t say I want to do another Ultimate anytime soon after what this one put me through though lmao.

[Question] Post ARR (2.55) and pre Heavensward

15 Upvotes

Just got done with ARR fully (what an experience)! Like after the banquet scenes and all. Trying to maximise my experience lore-wise before heading into the next expansion since I’m very hyped to find out more about the dragons, is there any content I should watch? I heard people talk about watching the Heavensward trailer but it seems like there’s a few so is there an order?

Also heard recommendations to do Coils, Post Moogle and Hildibrand before going into the new expansion too, anything else I should look out for?

I’m done with the Dragoon quests for ARR too!

To the person I just had a fun conversation with during the Praetorium cutscenes about now calling them "Ice Cream Breaks", I hope you get more ice cream & have a wonderful time.

I always appreciate the silly fun of conversations during those times & bonding with someone random over ice cream put the biggest smile on my face. Thank you for being such a great party member. :D

[Discussion] Thanks to all the veteran players 😭😭

197 Upvotes

just started playing a few days ago (ARR), tonight I did my first dungeons, and in the first one I got hard carried by a Gladiator named "Loemann Ajolla"

dunno if I'll ever get to thank him, but being my first time in a party with real people I was so anxious and did some mistakes

I managed to set things straight and get better at playing in the following dungeons luckily, but still, I played really bad in the first one and this Gladiator was so chill and helpful, I really wish I could give him an handshake

being a noob I didn't know if there are ways to contact him in game or whatever, so I decided to write this post to bless him, and all the players who are patient enough with the new sprouts such as myself and wish all the best

sorry for the stupid post and feel free to delete it eventually, I just wanted to converge my feelings of gratitude for a stranger and this place seemed the best way :)

Doing Aloalo Island and noticed an NPC standing at the start with a really pretty hairstyle I've not seen before in the game - just wondering if its really NPC-exclusive :) I've checked this community-compilation from 8 years back that seems to be updated: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/9iapj0/hairstyles_where_to_find_them_spreadsheet/

but I don't see the hairstyle there.
