If you have a friend that plays, you can also get a Recruit A Friend code from them which unlocks a variety of useful rewards, though mind that this must be used before you subscribe to your first month. | ||

Tanks will also want to stay up to pace with their armor. At level 50, 60 and 70 and after sufficient progress in the story, "Allagan Tomestones of Poetics" can be used to purchase high-level gear from Revenant's Toll, Idyllshire and Rhalgr's Reach respectively. | ||
* The Palace of The Dead is a | * The Palace of The Dead is a randomly generated dungeon unlocked by a lvl 17 quest in New Gridania which is available after clearing the Copperbell Mines dungeon. While a poor substitute for leveling normally for one's first character, it's a solid if slightly repetitive method of advancement for any later combat classes or jobs. Plus, it has a small storyline and clearing it is required to access the lvl 61-70 equivalent in ''Stormblood'' so you'll want to do it at some point. | ||

The increase in game quality is very noticeable in the expansions. | ||
