Guildleves
The main ethos of Final Fantasy 14 is to allow users freedom and diversity in their play. This is reflected in the Armoury Job System where players can change classes on the fly and is furthered with Guildleves.
Guildleves is the main questing system of FF14 and can be seen as similar to the Moblin Maze Monger event in Final Fantasy 11. It allows players to choose and customise their own quests. Players can visit a guild and pick from numerous available jobs that are available.
Guildleves themselves are small rectangular plates made of stained crystal set in a frame of precious metal. Each Guildleve depicts a deed of one of Eorzea’s patron saints (or ‘guardians’). When issuing a quest, guilds will issue one of these plates to the adventurer, granting the user ‘leave’ to take whatever steps needed to complete the quest (this includes entry to restricted areas, confiscating goods or negotiations with enemies of the state). Guildleves also allow unrestricted use of the aetheryte teleportation portals. The quests available to the user depend on their skill level and users must then pick one that best suits their needs. Guildleves also tell you time limit, and reward.
When you select a leve to participate in, your HP and MP recovers and a time limit is displayed on the screen.
Users may also enlist on comrades to complete a task with them, this allows multiple people to undertake a quest together. Players within a party can also use different leves and help each other to complete various quests. Only one leve is required take advantage of the benefits provided to its barer.
