In this vast and magical continent, there is a unique worldview and rich storyline of the PC game, allowing players to experience grand adventures all the way. However, newcomers may still feel lost and confused about choosing a profession and dealing with complex dungeons. Don't worry, the following FF14 mobile game guide will help you clear the fog and quickly get started on your own legendary adventure.
1. Profession Selection
At the beginning of the adventure, you will be asked to choose a profession, which can generally be divided into defense, offense, and healing. You can tell what type they are by looking at the profession icons. Blue represents defense, which means tanks, mainly responsible for attracting enemies and taking damage on the battlefield, protecting teammates from being surrounded. Red represents offense, which simply means the main damage dealer, responsible for dealing damage in combat. The last one, healing, is green, representing healers who are responsible for healing and resurrecting teammates. The choice of profession does not affect the plot and gameplay content, and as the story progresses, you can unlock and switch to all other professions, including subsequent job changes. Therefore, there's no need to be too concerned about the initial choice; just pick the type that suits you.
2. Dungeons
Dungeons are one of the core gameplay elements. Adventurers will form teams of 4 to 8 people to tackle dungeons. Of course, dungeons can be divided into three types: maze challenges, extermination battles, and large-scale missions. For example, a maze challenge is a 4-person dungeon where you need to eliminate monsters in the maze. New players must clearly understand their roles when teaming up to achieve victory. If you choose a defensive profession, your main task is to attract the monsters' attention, ensuring that the monster skills target you, while using damage reduction to lessen the pressure on your teammates. Healers must ensure that the health of the team members is good, and in cases where a teammate's health is low, the priority of healing is absolutely higher than dealing damage. Finally, attackers should try to deal as much damage as possible while avoiding unnecessary damage to reduce the pressure on the healer.
3. Adventure Travel
During the adventure, whenever entering each region, you must activate the Aether Current. Through it, you can teleport to various areas, helping you instantly travel to any location that has been resonated. If you cannot find the location during a quest, you can use the auto-navigation system, which will automatically take you to the quest's target location. When using auto-navigation, there will be a floating cursor on your character, and the interface will have guiding lines;
In the level 5 main quest, you can obtain a dedicated Chocobo and unlock the mount function, making map traversal faster. Completing the level 21 blue-marked quest "A Trusty Companion" will also unlock the companion feature, allowing you to summon them to fight alongside you. Each time you defeat an enemy, your companion gains some skill experience, increasing their abilities or acquiring new active skills. Finally, if you want to unlock the flying function in the adventure, you need to activate all the Aether Currents on the map. The method is simple: while adventuring, click the Aether Compass icon on the interface. If there are unresonated Aether Currents on the current map, it will automatically show their distance and direction. Since many are randomly distributed and visible to players, it's recommended to resonate them along the way while completing various quests, reducing the burden of searching later.
4. Equipment System
Your character can increase their strength through equipment, which is divided into white, green, and blue gear. The initial white gear can be purchased from the market, and it's recommended for initial leveling. Green gear is mainly obtained from drops in 4-person dungeons, while blue gear can be exchanged for Poetics. The main ways to obtain Poetics are through daily randoms and the first-time completion rewards of all dungeons. In the early stages, you can accumulate more, so that by the later stages, you'll have enough to exchange for a powerful set of equipment. Additionally, if you want more Poetics, you can team up more often with players entering the dungeon for the first time. As long as one of the party members is a newcomer, you will receive more rewards.
This is the end of the FF14 mobile game guide. The above introduction covers the necessary content regarding profession selection, exploration, and more. I hope that after reading, it will be helpful for the future adventures you embark on, and that you will gradually become stronger and find your own unique joy in this interesting journey.
