As a large-scale MMO game, FFXIV has rich game content and complex and diverse game mechanisms. Even players who have played for a long time may not say that they fully understand every aspect of the game.
Because the game has a certain popularity, there are always new players joining in. In order to prevent them from wasting unnecessary FFXIV Gil and energy in the game, it is necessary to bring them some tips for playing Final Fantasy XIV for the first time.
1. Don’t Worry Too Much When Choosing Your First Class
After entering the game, players usually need to choose one of three Main Characters, Tank, Healer, and DPS, as their first Class. But because they are new players and don’t fully understand the details of each Character, they may regret it after making a choice.
But in fact, this will not cause you too much negative impact, because when you upgrade this Class to Level 30 and complete a certain amount of game content, you will get a Soul Crystal, or you can also call it a Job Stone.
After having it, choice of Class actually becomes less important. You can also try to develop a new Class with different Weapons than existing Class.
FFXIV is essentially a game that supports players to develop multiple Classes. When you find that you are too high in Main Quest, a new Class can help you.
This not only allows you to experience more gameplay but also allows you to accumulate XP for new Class faster if Level of new Class is lower than your highest Level Class.
2. Choice Of Deities Is Not That Important
When you create your game character, the game asks you to choose a Deity to Worship. Each Deity has its own Symbol and Description. Just like Class selection, although this seems important, it will not have a big impact on your subsequent game progress.
In previous versions of the game, you would gain Resistance to your Deities’ affinity, but this content has been removed. The main function of Deities now is that when you Get Married in the game, you will see your Symbol and your Spouse’s Symbol lined up at Wedding.
So if you have to say, you can choose a Deity that will attract your Partner or is similar to your role-playing philosophy.
3. Complete All Side Quests But Don’t Rush
When you start your Final Fantasy XIV journey, you’ll find that there are a lot of Side Quests to complete. Some will tell you some basic game operations, how to Emote or Interact with Objects, while others are just boring Fetch Quests.
So you don’t have to run all over Map just to complete them. You can take on as many of them as possible and then check Map to see which ones are close to you and can be completed immediately.
Try to complete Side Quests that are close to you at the moment. As for those that are farther away, you might as well leave them for when you are nearby because of exploring Main Quest.
4. It’s OK To Start In Different Citys Than Your Friends
Depending on Class you choose when creating your character, you will be assigned to the corresponding City of the three Cities, and then start your own Main Story and Quests.
And if you plan to go with a friend and find that you are not in the same City, don’t be disappointed, because when you complete Level 15 Main Quest, you can go to a new City to continue Story.
If you just want to hang out with your friends from the start, you can choose Class that will be assigned to the same City. This will basically be foolproof.
5. Complete Hall Of The Novice
No matter which City you start your gaming career in, there will be an Adventurer’s Guild there. When your game character reaches Level 15, you can Register and Receive Training in Hall Of The Novice by interacting with the sprout-looking Icon in Guild.
Some players may not know how to get to Hall Of The Novice. It’s easy. You can navigate to Duty Tab of Action Bar and then select Hall Of The Novice.
Once you reach Hall Of The Novice, you will find that it contains many Challenges, mainly by completing them to learn how to play your selected Class better. These Challenges will not only teach you some necessary Knowledge, but players can also get Rewards after completing them.
With the above tips, believe that FFXIV new players who need it have basically understood how to play the game. Enjoy your Final Fantasy XIV journey!
