I don't use a security token. But setting your Home destination is basically a "free." You just have to use the Return spell instead of Teleport when you want to go there.

As a result, I cannot login to my old account, and Square refuses me to let me prove my identity in a manner that's not impossible.
Here's a tip from a vet, when u hover over an item in game if a vendor sells it the game shows u shop selling price. That means a basic vendor sells it. Restricted shop selling price means the vendor must be unlocked. Don't pay 20k Gil for a 100 Gil vendor item.
@@zirilan3398 Yeah you just spend a few hours farming basic mats and then make dyes people are too lazy to farm. One of the easiest ways of making money for sure. I'd say its second only to selling Levemete DoH/DoL materials
Camera adjust: o.0 Chocobo music gone: O.O Free and reduced tele: Dammit TH-cam. I've been asking you for noob guides for weeks. Why would you hold this pure gold back from me?
keep in mind that the music is not the same for each mount, sometimes its nice to turn mount music on just to check if you like the music for other mounts.
fast travel is gil capped as well, the most you will ever pay is 999 gil regardless of distance. also you can buy free travel tickets from your grand company vendor for a small amount of seals. which makes the travel free as it will use the ticket instead of gil. also early on when you need to back to the waking sands, if you set a free travel point to Limsa, then use the aethernet to the arcanist guild, and take a boat directly to vesper bay for 40gil. no more running on a mount down that long tunnel after the initial visit.
4:00 Without many spoilers, i'm at a point in the game where a lot of people died and i was immersing myself in the story, getting sad and all that, then i had to ride my chocobo to a different location and it immediately killed the mood with the music, thanks for showing me this option :c
I've found a combination of Legacy controls and turning ON the option to automatically face your target when using an ability makes the game play so much better for me. It takes some getting used to since I had been playing WoW for years, but I love that your character will RUN instead of backpedal when you press the S key. This also lets you pull off instant cast spells and abilities while running away.
@@kathchang unfortunately it doesn’t work too well in battle, I have found that binding target on/off in key bonds does this perfectly. Not sure of the verbiage but hit me up if you can’t find it and I’ll get the specific wording.
@@Dubstepconcept oh no! that's a shame. I have trouble moving around and was really hoping this would address that! what do you mean? why doesn't it work in battle?
the mount music is a good tip but just a quick note a lot of the mounts you get from trials/raids have theme specific music which is awesome. But personally i like the overworld zone music to be more immersed while just exploring. just personal preference
Also for the people who still want to use the standard camera thing. And you need a good way out of Aoe’s. Pivoting yourself 90 degrees left or right and then pressing Q or E works for me.
You can also press left + right mouse button and turn to the direction you want to run at the same time. Usually it's pretty quick to move once you get the hang of it.
I did not know the option to not have mount music! When I started playing I reached CCH and the music is so gloom and moody that I hated the hard transition to chocobo music, I went as far as moding the game to swap the chocobo theme with the magitek walker theme to be a little less annoying. Btw, the second tick box of the legacy control is to keep standard controls while you fly or go underwater, which is a good thing because legacy camera sucks for flying.
So far the most useful guide I've seen. What I also found very useful is being able to put Gear Sets, shortcuts to things like emotes & repairs and macros on your hotbars.
Very informative and good content, however I did die a little inside when you said Gardenia (a fragrant white flower) instead of Gridania (the forested city-state of Eorzea) lol
I’ve been looking for easy new player tips for my friend who just started playing (because certain things I’m not very good at articulating) and the second I saw the camera tip I was like “yes yes this is the one”
Returning player and this has refreshed my memory. Some other useful things I found out playing a new character - - Focus the main quest to complete your story line is super important, sometimes you hit a level block where you won't be able to continue the quest unless you level. There are so many ways to meet the level requirement but doing the blue quest icons will unlock useful content for your character. I would do this to meet level requirements instead of normal side quests (unless you are after specific items/goals). - Complete the "Smith" quest line. This is available from the beginning and has a baby tree icon. The Smith can be found in towns/cities including the starter town Ul'Dah. This quest line basically teaches you about the class you picked. I made a new tank and doing the Smith quest line helped me learn about my role, abilities and how aggro works in the game as well has rewards which included lvl 15 gear, exp and gil BUT it is mostly useful for a ring you get which gives you 30% bonus exp from all sources up until level 30. This is a great "straight outta character creation" quest line to get finished for faster early levels. - As mentioned in the video but I think it is a great tip, spend time on your HUD. I can't express how game changing this is, not because it's "efficient" or "optimal" but because you as a player should feel comfortable with what's on your screen. This is super handy to manage information that otherwise gets drowned in the action. - Have fun, dont worry about builds etc, really play the game you feel is best. If you want to go for the best dps, tank, healer builds because that's your way of having fun then go for it. I really recommend to stay away from build guides and figure out how the gear system works from scratch. If you find yourself at a level block where your item rating isn't improving much then maybe whip out a guide. But until then, experiment, play, have fun! Thanks for the tips and tricks!
Amazing guide! I am so glad I found this video. Used every single tip in this guide. The first tip was a huge lifesaver for me as a new player because coming from other RPGs, the movement in this game felt very clunky on character based movement and I tried changing different settings to try and alleviate that but to no avail. I didn't realize there was a legacy movement type! Really wish I saw this video a few days ago when I started!
Honestly, I’ve been playing for quite some time now and I didn’t know about a lot of these, like the slow back walking animation used to be so annoying when I wanted to get out of an AOE, especially during harder raids, and this video was actually really helpful even for someone who’s played quite a bit, so thanks a lot!
Often, the shortest path out of an AOE is straight ahead, directly toward the enemy. Other times, it's strafing left or right. It's almost never running directly away.
NOTE: the maintain camera distance under the legacy camera is a setting that affect the camera behaviour when it get's zoomed in by a wall or a closed area. Checked it will go back to the previous position as soon as it have the place to do so. Unchecked, the camera will stay as close as it got zoomed in regardless of the space available after. It will then slowly get back to the previous position as you are walking away from it. This allow you to have some smoother transition as you walk of a building or away from a wall etc :) Couldn't tell what the second option is for though Small tips from a french sprout ^^
Not going to lie it was the little "you matter" at the end that sold me for a sub and like. Great video man very clear to the point help. Keep up the great work love the vibe
Nice tips, gonna try them out. Another tip for players coming in is that this game is as casual as you are. Okay, play with the mouse and keyboard you brought from WoW or whatever, but remember that this game is on console at well. The controller is fun and casual for sitting back and relaxing especially since it’s so well optimized. I am using mouse and keyboard right now under the circumstances, but once I get my controller back, it’s gonna be casual city baby.
I installed FFXIV yesterday and have been having a rough time trying to find out how to change some of these game options. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you spending your time giving people like me this info. It may have taken me a really long time, maybe never, to figure some of these things out. Thank you very much, sir.
Worth noting that you can have 3 favorite teleport locations, so i always recommend having one in a big city (usually the starting one or the expansion your questing through), one wherever the Scions have their current base and one where ever you want, whether that be a location one likes, another city or any expansions daily/end-game quest hub. When i first started i dont think the mount music toggle was there... As someone who hates repetitive music and the chocobo music is a very short looped tone that lvl50-eternal-quest-chain-of-boredom-before-you-can-start-the-first-expansion-of-doom was extra horrible, whenever they say they reduce the realm reborn quests i think it's not enough... guess i'm just traumatized. Personally i also have a hidden actionbar too, just put keybindings on it and any function i feel like i want a keybinding function for but doesn't have it initially, since you can drag pretty much any mount, ability or UI function from the menus and put them on your bars. dont have all that much on it more than a sit emote (since i come from WoW and i want my sheathe/draw and sit buttons on Z and X) and mounts... also limit break, don't feel like cluttering up the bars i use with an ability that is so rarely used. ^Worth adding to that too that "shared actionbars" is which bars remains the same when you change classes and which is class specific, so if one want to put their class changing icons, crafting things and mounts on an action bar just make them shared and you don't have to redo them for every class and you can freely choose how many bars you want to dedicate to class specific things or have shared which is nice when you play multiple classes.
Great vid, just bought the complete version of this game 5 days ago and now I'm chugging along on my level 36. Thanks for the tips, the free Teleport is super dope
Omg the Chocobo music drove me and my fiancé CRAZY. We’d both groannn whenever we got on them. What a relief it was when i got my unicorn that has like jazzy music. Wish i knew earlier that i could just turn it off lol
I've seen a ton of content related to this game. Yours was so good, I had to comment. Thank you for having taken the time to do so. Very useful. Ignore the haters.
Your videos are always good and chock full of good advice, however there is one thing lacking.....A video on Squadrons if it is not too much to ask? Keep doing them the way you are doing them migo, they are great!
Thanks for the video, I was getting annoyed by the default camera, didn't not know i could change it. Keep up the videos, just a personal gripe about them, the audio is a little on the soft side.
Thanks for the video, these tips helped me a lot :) I especially liked how you zoomed in on the settings. One small feedback I'd give is that the audio is just a tiny bit on the quiet side, but other than that the video is perfect. Keep it up!
Another trick if you do a follow-up that I actually learned in WoW - rebind your left and right turn keys to left strafe and right strafe. It takes a little getting used to but after a little practice it will seem perfectly natural.
@@NovaDragon97 I found the video that Bellular made on the topic - th-cam.com/video/q9I-AxkkqYk/w-d-xo.html I guess it all comes down a bit to personal preference - it just feels a bit more responsive to me.
Man, standard camera gave me whiplash as bard due to attacking while moving to dodge aoes at the same time and it made me super slow in getting out of aoes as paladin... Oh crap, it didn't occur to me about there being multiple presets/save formats for HUD! Thanks, man
Tip I just learned that was a literal game changer for me... I have a hard time holding Ctrl or shift as a modifier to use skills on hot bars 2 and 3 . If you have a mouse with 1 or 2 buttons on the side by the thumb, download your manufacturers software (Logitech in my case). There you can remap keys to your mouse. So when I hold down the first mouse button it acts as Ctrl, and the second acts as shift. So I can switch hotbars with a simple thumb press without having to throw money at an mmo mouse.
Been playing the game for a long while now. Though I may already know these suggestions, I learned everything you said in this one video over time. This is great information that I wish I had access to when I first started. Thank you for your contribution to our community! Cheers!
Hey loved the video, just started recently. Just wanted to point out that your audio seemed to be pretty quiet for me, even with my volume turned all the way up. Keep up the good work, you got a sub from me 👍
I use the right mouse button to turn, as I have no turn key to actually press (changed A and D to strafe so I could free up Q and E for hotbar) to turn my char, so the legacy camera option doesnt actually apply to me lol. But I would recommend people do what I did, since it gives you 2 more keys close by that you can use for abilities. If you have an "mmo mouse" then thats probably not an issue for you so yeah go legacy lol. It takes a little getting used to at first, but eventually you will just start holding the RMB pretty much all the time and it feels really smooth.
Hi! I started playing because of the new Yo-kai Watch event. I am a huge fan of Yo-kai Watch. And I've found that I really enjoy this game! Thanks for sharing friendly tips for newcomers like me!
Gained a sub bro! Very informative video and much appreciated. The camera setting you mentioned right at the beginning... That's changed my while game experience for the better 😁👍🏼
Teleporting fee was one of the first thing I realised. Been playing for a week and I can say that the story, from the very first moments, funds your every single teleport. I had 1000 gil at like lvl2 and didn't hesitate to teleport. Now I'm just past Heavensward at lvl65 and my FC even makes teleports cost 30$ less.. My point is, it costs nothing.
I feel like I am the only that likes the default camera has it allows me to look around during a battle or even just running around without turning my character around. It's also useful for tanks to be able to back peddle for repositioning.
@@LucidFaith yeah i can see these being very helpful to newer players as well as non-new players that havent explored all the options this game offers. Keep up the good work. also just noticed we are on the same Data Center lol.
Bruuuh.... That bag setting my god TY.... Have you considered doing a video for new players on the Map, i find it so incredibly hard to navigate... any ways nice video ty..
I really don't know why the legacy movement is "legegacy", it feels absolute superior over the standard. It basically removes the movement "debuff" you get from walking backwards. This almost feels like cheating :'D Anyway thank you very much for the video, these tips are fantastic!
A further tip for the teleportation system. At 50 you can unlock The Hunt and start going after hunt targets which will give you Allied Seals at level 50 and Centurio seals at level 60 and 70. These 2 seals can be spent for older gear and other things, but more importantly they can be spent on Aetheryte Tickets which reduce a single teleport cost to 0. Sometimes teleports can be 999 gil, and using them for these bigger teleports can save you some serious gil in the long run.
Thanks for these tips im gonna try it. Hey just curious i got the chocabo battle guy but don't know where to get the greens to summon it. They said you can buy them at vendors but haven't found a vendor who sells it.
Yeah there are kinda hard to find at first. I usually go to the merchant "Bango Zango" in Limsa Lominsa Lower Deck (X:9.9 Y:11.4). Here is a link of all the merchants who sell the item. na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/eeca86f98cc/
Yes it's definitely hard to pick a stage name that uniquely describes ones public persona, especially in oversaturated markets (I'm an underground Hip Hop artist and producer, circa 2008- I know about operating in an oversaturated market) 😂😂. All these fucking SoundCloud trap lames have ensured that.
NOTE: IF you wish to use a FREE location you MUST use a security token

I've been playing this game for 1,300 hours now, and I had NO IDEA about the legacy camera option. I can't believe I just now found out about it.
There are so many options in this game that is it so hard to know about them all
@@LucidFaith Yeah, the customization in this game is so deep that it's really easy to miss something like that.
OMG dude so glad the TH-cam algorithm but you on my recommended
I am glad it put me there too!!!!
Thanks for the video, I was getting annoyed by the default camera, didn't not know i could change it. Keep up the videos, just a personal gripe about them, the audio is a little on the soft side.
I am glad I could help! Thanks for the feedback on the audio!
Thanks for the video, these tips helped me a lot :) I especially liked how you zoomed in on the settings. One small feedback I'd give is that the audio is just a tiny bit on the quiet side, but other than that the video is perfect. Keep it up!
Thanks so much and thanks for the feedback!
Another trick if you do a follow-up that I actually learned in WoW - rebind your left and right turn keys to left strafe and right strafe. It takes a little getting used to but after a little practice it will seem perfectly natural.
I want to say that I did that but now I am not sure. I am going to have to log into ffxiv just to check lol
This is an interesting tip and now I can’t remember if I did this in WoW. What are the advantages of this?
For me it is just ease of use. I like being able to press 'a' to run left immediately (for example). Honestly it is just preference.
@@NovaDragon97 I found the video that Bellular made on the topic - th-cam.com/video/q9I-AxkkqYk/w-d-xo.html
I guess it all comes down a bit to personal preference - it just feels a bit more responsive to me.
i usually dont leave comments but your video was so informative. great video and thanks for the tips!
You're welcome!
Man, standard camera gave me whiplash as bard due to attacking while moving to dodge aoes at the same time
and it made me super slow in getting out of aoes as paladin...
Oh crap, it didn't occur to me about there being multiple presets/save formats for HUD! Thanks, man
I am glad I could help!
Tip I just learned that was a literal game changer for me... I have a hard time holding Ctrl or shift as a modifier to use skills on hot bars 2 and 3 . If you have a mouse with 1 or 2 buttons on the side by the thumb, download your manufacturers software (Logitech in my case). There you can remap keys to your mouse. So when I hold down the first mouse button it acts as Ctrl, and the second acts as shift. So I can switch hotbars with a simple thumb press without having to throw money at an mmo mouse.
Gotcha! Good tip!
Been playing the game for a long while now. Though I may already know these suggestions, I learned everything you said in this one video over time. This is great information that I wish I had access to when I first started. Thank you for your contribution to our community! Cheers!
Thanks! I am glad I could help!
THANKS! Legacy camera is very good!
I am glad I could help!
Hey loved the video, just started recently. Just wanted to point out that your audio seemed to be pretty quiet for me, even with my volume turned all the way up. Keep up the good work, you got a sub from me 👍
I am glad I could help! Thank you for the feedback on the audio. I'll try to fix that for next time!
I use the right mouse button to turn, as I have no turn key to actually press (changed A and D to strafe so I could free up Q and E for hotbar) to turn my char, so the legacy camera option doesnt actually apply to me lol. But I would recommend people do what I did, since it gives you 2 more keys close by that you can use for abilities. If you have an "mmo mouse" then thats probably not an issue for you so yeah go legacy lol. It takes a little getting used to at first, but eventually you will just start holding the RMB pretty much all the time and it feels really smooth.
I use the right mouse button too!
Hi! I started playing because of the new Yo-kai Watch event. I am a huge fan of Yo-kai Watch. And I've found that I really enjoy this game! Thanks for sharing friendly tips for newcomers like me!
Of course! Welcome to FFXIV!
Omg this video changed my life! Thank you!!!!!! My movement settings were crap
No problem! I am glad I could help!
Gained a sub bro! Very informative video and much appreciated. The camera setting you mentioned right at the beginning... That's changed my while game experience for the better 😁👍🏼
Thank you and I am glad I could help!
As a new sprout 🌱, this was helpful.
Welcome to FFXIV! I hope you have fun!
Thank you thank you. These helped me so much! I'm a sprout and loving the game but these helped me even more.
Welcome to FFXIV!
that movement tip literally saved most of my issues
Glad to help!
Teleporting fee was one of the first thing I realised. Been playing for a week and I can say that the story, from the very first moments, funds your every single teleport. I had 1000 gil at like lvl2 and didn't hesitate to teleport. Now I'm just past Heavensward at lvl65 and my FC even makes teleports cost 30$ less.. My point is, it costs nothing.
You got my like for telling me I can turn off mount music. Thank you
Glad I could help!
Oh my gosh, praise the algorithm. That camera tip is a lifesaver 😭
Great video! That legacy type tip helped a lot!
2 minutes in, mind already blown
Love this! Thank you a lot!
I am glad I could help!
omg, thanks for the chocobo music tip!! :'D i really like the classic chocobo theme, but it was getting kinda annoying xDD
Big same! Lol
Holy shit thank you for the legacy tip.
I feel like I am the only that likes the default camera has it allows me to look around during a battle or even just running around without turning my character around. It's also useful for tanks to be able to back peddle for repositioning.
And there is nothing wrong with that! This is totally a preference thing.
Hey thanks man. We all do matter :) Great video!
Thank you so much for this, I've been trying to learn a lot of these things.
Glad I could help!
Omg, the chocobo music tip was amazing
first 2 tips are going to improve my life so much, thank you!
No problem!
This is extremely helpful and honestly needs more views!
Thanks! I am glad I could help!
Just got back on too ffxiv, the camera tip really helped so thanks :)
You're welcome!!
this is a really great video. i am a Vet player since 2.0 but trying to help out a new player, and this might be useful for them. great job
Thank you so much! I am a new player so I figured I would make guides on things that confused me.
@@LucidFaith yeah i can see these being very helpful to newer players as well as non-new players that havent explored all the options this game offers. Keep up the good work. also just noticed we are on the same Data Center lol.
Nice, feel free to add me in game! IGN is Lucid Faith!
Started playing yesterday, good tips, thanks :)
Welcome to FFXIV!
Nice tip on the inventory. I’m on ps4 and expanded works better as well.
Glad to hear it works in PS4 as well!
LucidFaith tabs are nice with controller but playing on a tv it’s nice seeing everything in my pack with expanded.
I essentially always hold down right click when I move, I had no idea about the legacy camera mode.
Ok you are absolutely 💯 amazing! I am new to FFXIV and this helped me a ton! I subscribed to you too ❤
I am glad I could help! Let me know if you have any questions!
The HUD customization system in this game is UNTOUCHABLE by any of the other major MMO's
It really is!
WoW has addons
@@Ven_de_Thiel Yeah, addons. That's not a system of the game, that's a modification.
@@Chrisfragger1 Yeah, which gives players a lot more liberty in customization
@@dantherriault3998 There are mods in 14 as well though 🤔
Bruuuh.... That bag setting my god TY.... Have you considered doing a video for new players on the Map, i find it so incredibly hard to navigate... any ways nice video ty..
I haven't considered that. What would you like to see in a Map guide?
I was with you until 9:15. Lol.
But seriously, nice vid. 👌🏾
Lol thanks
I really don't know why the legacy movement is "legegacy", it feels absolute superior over the standard. It basically removes the movement "debuff" you get from walking backwards. This almost feels like cheating :'D
Anyway thank you very much for the video, these tips are fantastic!
I'm glad I could help!
Wow, these tips are fantastic! Thanks so much!
Glad you liked it!
This was amazingly helpful! Thanks so much!!
Of course! I am glad I could help!
If you ever see this, how did you get the 3rd action bar open?! I cannot find how to do that or how to use it.... Great video btw
You will want to go to "Hud Layout" under the main menu. From there you can select the optional hotbars and customize them.
Let me know if this helps!
Hey thanks man nice little tips here
You're welcome!
really helpful thank you!
You're welcome!!!
This was a great video. I genuinely used some of these tips.
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful!
My only problem with the "open all" setting is the size. Just too small at a quick glance.
I've been playing for 2 years and didn't know about the expanded inventory. The tabs make me dread having to do even the smallest amount of cleanup
A further tip for the teleportation system. At 50 you can unlock The Hunt and start going after hunt targets which will give you Allied Seals at level 50 and Centurio seals at level 60 and 70. These 2 seals can be spent for older gear and other things, but more importantly they can be spent on Aetheryte Tickets which reduce a single teleport cost to 0. Sometimes teleports can be 999 gil, and using them for these bigger teleports can save you some serious gil in the long run.
Great tip!
Lol, that chocobo tune was driving me nuts as well, could hear it in my head all day long. Glad i got rid of it :D
Lol same!
Heresy, chocobo music is life 😜
Lol only some of the time.
@@LucidFaith wrong
Thanks for these tips im gonna try it. Hey just curious i got the chocabo battle guy but don't know where to get the greens to summon it. They said you can buy them at vendors but haven't found a vendor who sells it.
Yeah there are kinda hard to find at first. I usually go to the merchant "Bango Zango" in Limsa Lominsa Lower Deck (X:9.9 Y:11.4).
Here is a link of all the merchants who sell the item.
na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/eeca86f98cc/
Very good tips!
9:02 ive been looking for that button for so long!!!
I am glad I could show you where it was!
Side note: I think LucidFaith is actually a sick ass name.
I'm not clowning either, I'm being sincere.
Thanks! I have been using this name for a while now! Usernames are so hard to come up with lol
Yes it's definitely hard to pick a stage name that uniquely describes ones public persona, especially in oversaturated markets (I'm an underground Hip Hop artist and producer, circa 2008- I know about operating in an oversaturated market) 😂😂. All these fucking SoundCloud trap lames have ensured that.
Eventually you can also buy passes from your GC with Company Seals that let you teleport to your barracks, which is another "free" teleport city 😉
Ooo I didn't know about this one!
@@LucidFaith they are called Aetherite Tickets, and I stand corrected, they are actually purchased with 5 allied seals
ty so much : )
Another great vid!
Thank you so much!
