The launch of a new expansion can be quite chaotic, especially with the heavy traffic during early access and the official release of Dawntrail. To that end, we put together a list of important details for you to be aware of!

During both early access and the release, there is a high risk of too many players logging in at the same time, causing worlds to reach their maximum capacity and players to be stuck in endless queues when logging in.

The Final Fantasy XIV team has shared some details regarding possible congestions and other important matters:

  • Login queues: those happen if the world reaches the maximum numbers of players that can log in at the same time. Once you are in the queue, even if it appears to not go down, rest assured that it is working, and do not log out. Canceling the queue will put you back at the end of the list. 
    When a queue is in place, players who own the complete version of the game have priority. Free trial characters will be able to log in once the queue is cleared. This allows the FFXIV team to prioritize paying players.
  • Restrictions on Data center travels:
    • Japanese Data Center: The number of non-Home World characters that can log in will be limited. When a World has reached the maximum number of visiting characters, non-Home World characters that are logged out on that World will be unable to log in, and the World will be unavailable for visitation via Data Center Travel.
    • North American Data Center: 
      Aether/Primal/Crystal: Will be unavailable for travel.
      Dynamis: Will remain available for travel, and the maximum number of traveling characters will be increased compared to usual.
    • European Data Center: Chaos/Light: Will be unavailable for travel.
      Shadow: Will be open to travel, with temporary Worlds which may be helpful login destinations when other Worlds are experiencing high congestion.
  • Restriction on World visiting:
    • Japanese Data Center: The number of non-Home World characters that can log in will be limited. When a World has reached the maximum number of visiting characters, non-Home World characters that are logged out on that World will be unable to log in, and the World will be unavailable for visitation via the World Visit system.
    • North American Data Center
      Aether/Primal/Crystal: The World Visit System will be unavailable.
      Dynamis: The World Visit System will remain available, and the maximum number of characters that can visit via the system will be increased.
    • European Data Center
      Chaos/Light: The World Visit System will be unavailable.
      The World Visit System will remain available on the Shadow Data Center. The maximum number of characters that can visit via the system will be increased.
    • Oceanian Data Center
      The World Visit System will remain available as usual.

Please keep in mind that if you are on another world prior to patch 7.0, you should return to your home world before the maintenance begins, as any server traffic/queue created by the expansion's release will prevent you from returning to your home world.

  • Error 2002: this error will occur in order to prevent servers from crashing. If you encounter it, please try to log in again some time later. 
  • Error 90002/90006 During Gameplay: those errors are usually network connection errors. if they occur, check your network connection status. In general those occur for wifi connection, so we advise you use a wired internet connection if you can. 
  • After 30 minutes of inactivity, players will be logged out automatically.

      The Futures Rewritten Ultimate Raid will release soon! Here are some visuals of what the weapons rewarded for completing the raid may look like!
      The new Ultimate Raid, Futures Rewritten, will release with patch 7.11.
      All Ultimate raids come with amazing Weapons that usually have a very strong design, making them recognizable from afar. This way, every players knows who completed an Ultimate Raid. 
      While we do not have any official visual for the Futures Rewritten weapons, here are some images of what the weapons could look like! Keep it mind that those are not the finished version. It is Dataminded information.
      The VFX was found on Offhands weapons, and applied to the other weapons. These are not the actual weapon textures, models are the base weapons for reference, and the VFX may be unfinished, but it can give you an idea of what they will look like:
      Monk

      Ninja

      Dancer

      FFXIV - The Best Crafting and Gathering Melding Sets for 7.1!
      By Jaym0
      We have updated our comprehensive melding guides for patch 7.1! Here is everything you need to know!
      For all the crafters and gatherers out there, our Final Fantasy XIV writer Shikhu has updated his two extensive guides for Crafting and Gathering Endgame Melding. 
      Crafting DoH Endgame Melding BIS Patch 7.1
      This guide will go over the best crafting meld sets, explaining the best-in-slot (BiS). You will find 3 different main meldsets possible for 7.1, depending on your budget, time, and crafting goals.
      The High Tier Set will be the best set that offers the most value for your gear, allowing you to use less HQ materials and more efficient rotations. The accessories will also last you until patch 7.3. You will be able to craft the latest Savage Raid gear with this set. 
      The Mid-Tier Meld set is a more cost efficient set that will still enable you to craft Savage Raid gear.
      The Budget Meld set is more for players looking for a cheap budget set, but if you want to be ready for patch 7.2's raid crafts, then it is more recommended to go for the Mid Tier Set at least.
      Gathering DoL Endgame Melding BIS Patch 7.1
      This guide will go over how to gear your classes so you can gather from endgame legendary nodes.
      Here again, three different Meld sets are available, depending on your budget, time and goals.
      The High tier meld set is your Best-in-slot set which will last until 7.3 (with some adjustments for the future Cosmic Exploration if there is needed).
      The Mid Tier set offers you easier melding but your Gatherers will have less yields.
      The Budget set is simply to help you reach the minimum Perception needed to be able to gather everything in the game. This one will most likely be upgraded to script gear in patch 7.2.
      Both guides are packed with detailed informations, easy-to-follow instructions, and tips from a seasoned player, making them extremely useful resources for both veteran Crafters and Gatherers, and players who want to start getting into the professions.
