This innocuous-seeming sea cave has a storied history and some salty residents. Join us as we get our feet wet in Final Fantasy XIV's first dungeon.

The Archer's Guild teaches a fusion of the Elezen longbow and Miqo'te shortbow techniques. This may be an open-minded approach, but certain traditionalists believe that the Wildwood Elezen are the true masters of archery and there's no improving on the classics. The Final Fantasy 14 Archer class quest covers a surprising amount of ground for a quest about just one discipline.

Among the xenophobic Gridanians, the Lancer's Guild is surprisingly open-minded and welcoming. This open-door philosophy runs into some problems though when an opinionated Duskwight decides to come calling. Join us as we discuss lancers in Final Fantasy XIV.

New adventurers will immediately get in over their head upon leaving the safety of Gridania. Someone is trying to drive a wedge between the Elementals and Gridanians. The best we can do for now is to mitigate the damage. We discuss Elezens in Eorzea, meet some new friends, and tromp around the Black Shroud.

Conjuring developed out of the magical arts used by the first Gridanians to commune with the Elementals. To this day the practice is intrinsically entwined with the Twelveswood itself. Conjurers tireless work to keep the wood in balance, even as they are assailed by a recent upsurge in corrupting forces. Join us as we discuss the Conjurer class in Final Fantasy 14.

Gridania's existence hinges upon the whim of the Elementals. The city's culture and practices have all been touched by their patrons, as they carefully tend the forest and guard it on behalf of the spirits. The Elementals may have taken a back seat after the Calamity, but these same practices continue.

The Code was essential to bringing peace to Limsa Lominsa and making it possible for competing pirate crews to coexist with one another. Now that piracy is outlawed in Limsa, does the city still need the code and its keepers? The Rogue's Guild says yes, but a meddlesome Yellowjacket thinks otherwise. Join us as we talk about Rogues and the Rogue's Guild class quest in Final Fantasy 14.
