What contents have you unlocked on Final Fantasy XIV?
There are a lot of things to do in Final Fantasy 14, and a lot is an understatement. Numerous contents are available for players to explore, that what makes players keep on playing FF14 despite having finished all the MSQ to the latest update. People who played for a long time may have a longer time to be venturous, but it can be overwhelming and confusing for new players to decide which content worth doing first. One of the content that FF14 offer is the Beast Tribes. The Beast Tribes will let you have daily quests, and from doing their quests, they will eventually warm up to you. The ‘warm up’ comes in ranks, the higher the rank, the more rewards you can trade-off.
Until the Shadowbringers expansion, FF14 have a total of 14 Beast Tribes and 5 are from A Realm Reborn. However, despite having the most Beast Tribes selection, I say that they are the least worth doing. So, to help you unwind the confusion, here I have summarized 10 Beast Tribe Quests worth doing first!
10. Sylph Beast Tribe Quests
Guide to unlock the Sylphs Beast Tribe Quests
Sylphs are introduced in the Main Quest for ARR. They are cute green fairies that live in Little Solace, East Shroud. To open this Beast Tribe, you must talk to Vorsaile Heuloix in Gridania and have at least one Disciples of War/Magic (DOW/DOM) on a minimum level of 42, “Seeking Solace” is the quest you are looking for. The quest from this green cabbage fairy is only worth doing when you haven’t opened the other expansion. Their quests can be unnecessarily tedious, please be prepared for it. Upon reaching certain ranks, the green fairy will allow you to buy goods from them, such as dyes that can be useful for Fashion Week Reports. Other than that, they offer you exclusive 2 collectable minions, 2 pieces of furniture, and 1 mount (Laurel Goobbue Horn). The only reason I put this on the list is because of the mount.
9. Amalj’aa Beast Tribe Quests
