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!

Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail introduces a new class of Crafters’ and Gatherers’ Scrips: Orange. This change makes it easier to obtain Purple Scrips, and players can use these vouchers to obtain items such as Crafting Master Recipe Books, Materia, and materials. Gathering Purple Scrips will be an important task for players who want to focus on crafting and gathering in Dawntrail.

Purple Crafters’ Scrips

Crafting a level 99 Collectable will yield the most Purple Crafters’ Scrips. However, different Jobs will have different crafting difficulties. This is because different recipes require different materials. Taking into account the cost, difficulty of obtaining materials, and the number of Scrips obtained, we found some of the best options and their corresponding recipes:

Leatherworker - Rarefied Gargantuaskin Trousers

• 8 Gargantua Hide - 24 Bicolor Gemstones
• 2 Acacia Bark - Botany
• 5 Levinsilk - Botany
• 5 Ra'Kaznar Ore - Mining
• 1 Magnesia Powder - Mining

Weaver - Rarefied Thunderyards Silk Gloves

• 10 Levinsilk - Botany
• 4 Gargantua Hide - 12 Bicolor Gemstones
• 1 Acacia Bark - Botany
• 5 Ra'Kaznar Ore - Mining
• 1 Magnesia Powder - Mining

Culinarian - Rarefied Stuffed Peppers

• 6 Turali Corn - Botany
• 5 Ut'ohmu Tomato - Botany
• 1 Dragon Pepper - Botany
• 1 Alpaca Fillet - 3 Bicolor Gemstones
• 3 Bell Pepper - Botany

When choosing the best crafting option, Rarefied Stuffed Peppers is an excellent choice because it requires the least number of collectible items. In addition, the basic materials required for Turali Corn Oil and Ut’ohmu Chili Sauce can actually make three collectibles. Rarefied Gargantuaskin Trousers and Rarefied Thunderyards Silk Gloves require more items per crafting. They also cost more if obtained from the Market Board with Bicolor Gemstones or FFXIV Gil.

For other quests, the collectible is less appealing because of its recipe requiring Black Stars. This item requires two tiers of pre-crafting, so it is more time-consuming to collect numerous collectible items. This also means that the number of items collected per crafting is much higher than the other options mentioned previously.

However, if you don’t mind spending more time, the rare Rakazna War Scythe crafted through Blacksmith is a good choice, especially if you have a Miner Retainer to help you collect more.

Purple Gatherers’ Scrips

To collect Purple Scrips for Gatherers, you need to have Miner and Botanist up to level and fully equipped, then collect the timed nodes that appear within two Eorzean hour intervals. These items will reward 14 to 16 Purple Gatherers’ Scrips at base Collectability, and 35 to 38 at maximum Collectability of 1,000.

If you don’t have enough gear to reach the maximum Collectability of Dawntrail materials, you can collect Collectables from previous expansions.

What To Spend Purple Scrips On?

Without Crafting and Gathering, you can also make good money by making weekly Custom Deliveries and converting your Scrips to Materia. But before converting Purple Scrips to Materia, it’s best to first obtain every Master Recipe Book for every Crafting Job, as well as all Regional Folklore Books for Gatherers.

Each Crafter Master Recipe Book costs 1,200 Purple Crafters’ Scrips. For Gatherers, each Regional Folklore Book costs 1,600 Purple Gatherers’ Scrips.

Once you have these items, you can choose to sell them or use them to fuse equipment, or focusing on stocking up on Crafter and Gatherer Materia.

In short, Pentamelding a full set of Crafting or Gathering equipment, requires a lot of Purple Scrips, so you need to get as many Purple Scrips as possible.

In Final Fantasy XIV, you will have a lot of cute things to collect, such as the hairstyles you can change or the mounts you use. Although you may have to spend a lot of time to get them, these cute things will make you more eye-catching in the game world.

Fortunately, not all items are difficult to obtain. For example, Cornservants or Minions can be obtained through some quests in the game. Among them, Shark Minion is deeply loved by players because of its very cute appearance. So this guide will introduce you step by step how to get this cute Shark Minion. If you are very interested in cute food, then come and take a look!

How To Unlock Shark Minion?

In the description in the game, Shark Minion is also called Major-General, a servant with a shark shape but legs. To get it, you need to unlock the achievement of No More Fish in the Sea I, so you must use Fisher Job to participate in Ocean Fishing when completing this quest.

First, you need to go to Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks and talk to N’nmulika (X: 7.9, Y: 14.2). Note that you need to have another job after level 1 to unlock Disciple of Land job.

Then, when you accept So You Want to Be a Fisher quest and say yes, your next quest, Way of the Fisher, begins. After completing this quest, your Fisher Job is unlocked, and you will also be given some fishing rods, bait, and FFXIV Gil.

Next, you can unlock Ocean Fishing quest. Note that you need to change your job to Fisher Job to do this quest. You also need to go to Fishermen’s Guild and Fhilsnoe (X: 7.8, Y: 14.5) there to pick up a quest called All the Fish in the Sea, which you can complete before you can do Ocean Fishing.

Once you join a fishing crew of 24 players, you’ll hit the high seas and start fishing. Unlike other activities, Ocean Fishing is only available at certain times - every two hours in real time.

If you want to participate in this activity, you may want to keep an eye on the real-world time and set aside 15 minutes to talk to Dryskthota (X: 3.0 Y: 12.7) in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks. This is very important.

When you catch a few fish on your boat, which represent different scores, your mission will begin. It should be noted that you need to score 5,000 points in a single voyage on Indigo route to get No More Fish in the Sea I achieve.

Once you unlock the achievement, you can claim some rewards and that cute Shark Minion Major-General in your Achievement tab!
