Guild
Every class in Final Fantasy XIV is part of a Guild. These guilds, lead by a Guildmaster, serve to teach adventurers the fundamentals of their class and provide them with basic equipment. Each starting major city is a host to several different guilds. A player can join all other guilds once they reach level 10 as a Disciples of War or Disciples of Magic.
- A new player will start in the city where his or her chosen class' guild resides.
