.Here are our best tips for this RPG adventure
There are different classes in the game which have their roles such as DPS, Tanks, and Healers. It's good to have a lot of options but it can also be quite daunting if you do not know what you want. You might want to test out how your current class works, so perhaps you can try the Hall of the Novice in order for you to do some training.
Once you reach level 15 with a combat class, you can talk to the smith NPCs at the Adventurer's guild of each city. You can then try training exercises regarding your current class or job. In doing so, you'll be able to acquire loot which can help out when starting in the game. Doing the Disciple of War or Magic will also let you get the 'Brand-new Ring' which is useful for all classes since it gives +3 stats to strength, dexterity, intelligence, mind, and vitality.
.If you look at your Main Scenario Quest tracker, you'll also find that there are class and job quests that you can complete. It would be a good idea for you to focus on these first before tackling your main scenario quests. The class that you choose will provide you not only with a story related to the class, but you will also be able to unlock skills.
Once you reach level 30 with your class, you'll need to upgrade into a job. Make sure to complete the level 20 MSQ first called Sylph management. You'll stop learning skills eventually so you'll need to upgrade to a job soon enough. Not only will you be able to unlock skills, you can acquire good gear to help you out in the game once you reach around level 45 and 50.
Focus on your Main Scenario Quests before Side quests when starting out
Final Fantasy 14 is a huge MMO game which will let you explore a vast world. Not only will there be exploration, but you'll also have to learn a lot of the game's mechanics as well as level up your character. If you've decided on your main class, it would be best for you to focus first on all of your main scenario quests (also known as MSQ).
Your main scenario quests will help you in maxing out your level. It would be best for you to save your side quests if you want to level up another class. If you combine your main scenario quests and side quests from the start, you might reach max level already therefore you'll lose out on EXP from your remaining main scenario quests which would be a waste.
.Before reaching level 50, you can acquire additional exp by completing your hunting logs in order to help you level up. This is especially useful as well if you want to level up solo. You will need to complete tasks regarding hunting monsters located in different places. There are difficulties as well, and the rewards and exp you obtain will increase based on how hard they are.
Hunting logs are not shared between classes so you must take that into consideration. Take note that once you've reached the Heavensward's Clan Hunt, the dailies that you can acquire there will
functionally replace the class hunting logs if you want to continue with leveling on solo.
In the Final Fantasy series, Chocobos are known as huge birds that can be used as mounts as well as companions. In Final Fantasy 14, you'll eventually be able to obtain a Chocobo companion which is useful not only for riding, but for other things as well. As soon as you receive your Chocobo, you should start raising it properly so you can improve and customize them. You can rank them up to 10 and then eventually reach rank 20.
By completing the chocobo related quests, you'll eventually have a Chocobo stable which you can use to raise your companion. Take note that chocobos that are on your stable cannot be mounted and summoned to battle, but you can do some training. You can provide it with foods which can either increase their EXP or other stats. Repeating a specific food will become its favorite, so if you want to focus on increasing a specific aspect such as EXP, Attack, Healing potency, etc then keep feeding that food.
.Final Fantasy 14 is a game that has a lot of depth and there have been a lot of updates that arrived as the game matured. You may be tempted to play as fast as possible, and you'll want to catch up with the rest of the players. It would be best though if you play at your own pace and try to enjoy the game.
It may be stressful if you want to rush. You may be too strict on yourself in completing your dailies, quests, and grinding each time you log in. You may end up finding the game as a chore instead of having fun. Remember, that you'll be able to reach the endgame eventually and you might end up not having to do much things once you reach that point.
Your user interface can determine which keys or buttons you'll need to press in order to move, use skills, as well as items. When starting out, learning a new UI can be quite overwhelming. If there are a lot of things happening at once, then you might now know how to react or which skills you'll need to press.
As you play through the game, it would be best for you to adjust your UI and hotkeys according to your needs. There are a lot of skills you'll be able to use but you'll also need to take your items into consideration. Experiment with your skills and items and check which ones you'll use often so you can add them properly to your UI. If you don't know where to start, then you can check out videos of other players as well to see how they place. In the end, you must adjust according to your own comfort.
