Watch NowStarter Guide Series Intro
Kaz creates his character and takes his first steps in Eorzea. Mayra introduces Kaz to the map and different quest types so he can enjoy the main story without getting lost.
Mayra introduces Kaz to class quests and how he can unlock different classes starting at level 10. Kaz encounters his first FATE, an open world encounter where everyone nearby can take part.
Kaz learns how to organise his cluttered inventory and discovers the Recommended Gear feature. Mayra takes Kaz to the Hall of the Novice where he gets a crash course on party combat and a new set of gear.
Putting his newly acquired skills to the test, Kaz teams up with Mayra to form a light party with the Duty Finder to tackle his first dungeon. Kaz learns how dungeon rewards are distributed via Need, Greed, and Pass.
Kaz forms his own party and takes on his first trial: an epic boss battle. As his renown grows, Kaz is recruited by one of the three Grand Companies of Eorzea, and unlocks his very own chocobo mount at level 20.
Mayra regales Kaz with all he still has to look forward to in the Free Trial… and beyond!
