Three Features of FFXIV You Might Not Have Known About

(All information from www.gamespot.com)

I was reading gamespot.coms FFXIV Primer and found this information.  I knew about Behest and had heard of Parley, but didnt know how it worked, it seems interesting.  Also, I didnt know the Guild Quests gave points that you could buy skills with for combat classes too!

 


Behest

 Behest is an event that takes place at the top of the hour in all camps. Talk to the battlewarden while they are still in the camp to join up with the cause. After a few minutes, the warden will request all participants to destroy the initial wave of monsters. After this first wave is cleared, a boss wave ill arrive that will need to be finish

Keep in mind that you're competing with other parties and players. Claiming a mob works just like a normal fight: if a different player or party attacks a Behest monster, you will be unable to interact with it. You will also not share in the rewards for that particular enemy. If you want to share the benefits of Behest, you'll need to form a single party before heading out.

 





 Parley

 Upon gaining rank 15 with one class and completing the third storyline mission, you will be able to parley with a number of NPCs. If you manage to complete their mini games they may reward you with items or other gifts. Some of the current parley targets include:

 


  • Limsa Lominsa: Ansgor (6-5)

  • Ul'dah: Baterich (7-4)

  • Gridania: Aubrenard (4-7)

 

You will be presented with a 4 by 3 grid with various icons representing topics of interest. Each icon shows a number of points that you will gain by selecting it. If you pick matching adjacent icons, you will collect all of them at once. Every time your opponent selects titles, the total will deduct from your own total. As icons are removed from the board, the remaining icons will shift to the left, and a new icon will appear form the bottom right. You will need to rack up a total number of points in a specified amount of turns based on the NPC.

 


Guild Quests

 

After reaching rank 20 and completing the fourth storyline mission, you will be able to partake in quests from your associated guilds. These are often much tougher than normal leves, however they will reward you with mark points that be spent on gaining new abilities for your class. There are a large amount of skills that each class can learn, but there are a few simple early ones that can be acquired for cheap.

    Good post! I am pumped to actually start getting into the 20's to earn some guild marks.  The Behests are kinda weird although something different.  Seemed like the one at emerald and dry bone were almost too easy, but it was still nice to actually group with some people and work together.

    Wow, I should log into my rank 26 to check that out since I had no idea. Maybe this will make the game more fun to play
