Final Fantasy 14’s Dawntrail expansion has arrived in the last month, and fans around the world have been talking about it so far. Their focus is mainly on MSQ and the three main characters - Warrior of Light, Scions, and Wuk Lamat.
MSQ in Dawntrail can be completed in a few days or weeks, because the story in Dawntrail is so fascinating that people have to complete various tasks all the time without taking a break. After completing MSQ in Dawntrail, you may want to close the game and start waiting for the next update to be released.
But don’t do that, you can still explore Dawntrail in depth with the few things provided in this guide. Because FFXIV is a game with a very high degree of freedom, you can explore Dawntrail in your own way in your free time.
Collect All Aether Currents In Dawntrail
As you progress through MSQ, you may find yourself unable to fly through some of the scenic areas with your mount. This is because there are not enough Aether Currents in the area of MSQ. Once you leave MSQ, you can use the aether compass to find the available aether in each area.
In addition to using the aether compass to find the aether you want, you can also return to the area to complete the aether current side quests, so that you can also collect all the aether.
After you have collected all the aether, you need to wait for a while to use the flying mount to see the whole beautiful area. In addition, you will be more likely to participate in activities such as hunt trains.
Explore Some Expert Dungeons
In MSQ of Dawntrail, you need to complete a number of dungeons to advance the story. Like previous expansions, Dawntrail will release different dungeons as additional content later. If you haven’t waited for the latest dungeons, why not try the two expert dungeons in Tender Valley and Strayborough Deadwalk?
You need to go to Zeycihan to unlock these two dungeons. In contrast, the second expert dungeon, Strayborough Deadwalk, is more challenging than the regular dungeons. If you are a player who likes adventure, then Strayborough Deadwalk dungeon will be perfect for you!
Get Tome Gear
In each expansion, Tome Gear is essential for you to do savage raids, as it will provide you with some high-level items to help you in battle. FFXIV provides you with a variety of ways to collect Tomestones Of Aesthetics, such as dungeons, roulettes, and hunt trains.
Complete Extreme Trials
In FFXIV, there are a series of trials that offer some interesting and challenging mechanics, some of which are also available in the extreme versions. After you complete the MSQ, you’ll also want to make sure you complete Worqor Zormor and Everkeep fights.
Once you have these two conditions, you can head out to Extreme Trials with your party, or you can go into the party finder. While the Extreme Trials are challenging to complete, the rewards are great, including some FFXIV Gil, rare mounts, and raid gear.
This raid gear will give you a higher item level, so you can be ahead of everyone on your first day of savage raids!
Try Normal And Savage Raids
One of the most important and eye-catching parts of an MMO is the raid tiers. Usually released with each new expansion, Dawntrail’s new tier, Arcadion, is a delightful surprise. In these eight-player raids, you’ll have four fights per tier, and you can try out both the normal and savage versions.
If you are a casual player, then the normal raid will be more suitable for you, because you can experience new battles with interesting mechanisms in the normal version, and your nerves will not be so tense. For some high-level players and veteran players, it is cooler to clear the enemies quickly in the brutal version in static.
Design Dawntrail Glamour Sets With New Dye System
FFXIV's glamour system has been considered by players as one of the most important features in the game, and the dye system in Dawntrail also provides players with more creativity. Players who use the dye system can use two different colors to design clothing after you complete the MSQ, so that you will have a unique and eye-catching outfit.
In addition, the dungeons in Dawntrail will also provide you with several very interesting armor sets, and can be used with the new dye system, so that your armor will become unique. For example, the 97-level Vanguard dungeon has the most gorgeous armor set in Dawntrail, which is very suitable for you to use the dye system to create a more beautiful set.
Level Up Other Jobs As Well
Because there are so many jobs in FFXIV, and each job provides different functions. This leads to the fact that you may try every job during the expansion, but you don’t master any of them.
Because in Dawntrail, the maximum level of jobs has been raised to 100. After you complete the main MSQ, you can upgrade the jobs you don’t use often, so that you will have more options when you want to participate in the latest raid later.
If you upgrade all 21 jobs in this game to level 100, you will get the Outrunner mount as your upgrade reward.
Try Two New Jobs
It’s no secret that two new jobs have been added to Dawntrail, but few players have been practicing and upgrading them specifically for Pictomancer and Viper, because everyone still uses the jobs that they used to complete the various tasks on MSQ.
However, once you finish the tasks, you have the option to begin from level 80 and gradually experiment with Pictomancer and Viper for a unique gaming experience. Pictomancer and Viper provide entertainment to the entire game with their stunning movements and animations. I believe you will love these two professions!
It looks like the wait for the next update won't be that long any more. I hope you enjoy exploring Dawntrail outside of MSQ!
