Re: New player

Lionna's New Player Guide - FFXIWiki

That might help out a bit As to what to do and where to go, outside of the front gate of any town is a good place to learn how to fight, just look through your menu and get a feel for the world

I'd love to say come to quetz and i can help you out but I have little to no time to play as it is

Re: New player

FFXICLOPEDIA has a really great quest guide just look for the ones that dont require a fame level and you can do them. They are seperated amongst the 3 starter nations so chose the guide for the nation you chose.

As for mobs to hunt

Sandoria Start

Start with rabbits/worms right outside the gate, focus on them till about level 4-5
then move on to the stronger rabbits and worms(called teir 2 mobs). 5-8
bettles, sheep, goblins, orcs (with care ) 8-12

Windurst Start
Start with Tiny Mandragora, Bees, outside the gate 4-5
Work in rarabs, teir 2 madragora 5-8
Crawler, Gob, crow, yaguado (with care) 8-12

Bastok Start

Bees, Worms 4-5
Teir2 Worms, Teir 2 Bee, Sapplings, Vulture 5-8
Lizards, Sheep, Qudav, Goblin 8-12


Basically what you do in any area is start near the city, kill the mobs for a few levels and fan out, targeting slightly stronger mobs. Generally what I do is kill all the mobs in the 4-5 range, until im level 8, then the 5-8 mobs till im lvl 10.

ALWAYS be sure to get signet from the gate guard (I.M.(bastok),R.K(Sandoria),W.W. (Windurst). This will alow you to get a boost to stats, as well as earn Conquest Points, and more importantly collect crystals.
