Returning player
Coming back to FFXIV after Dawntrail?
You started Dawntrail and lost the thread partway through. The 7.x patches have kept rolling since, so there's new story, a fresh raid tier, and side content waiting. Here's what's worth your time now and what isn't.
Pick up where you left off
Choose the closest match and the planner opens with it filled in. You pick the goals.
The big changes to know
- ›Heliometry tomestones were retired. Exchange any you still hold for Mathematics.
What this planner does
We don't dump a wiki on you. You get a plan sorted into do first, do next, do if you care, and safe to skip, plus the one rule every returner needs: never gear up in an expansion you're about to leave. The story hands you better gear as you go.
