"new player" icon

does anyone know how a person can get rid of the "new player" icon next to their name?

It goes away over time.
Basically, to put it in simple terms: You stop being a new player when you stop being new :P

pretty much what he said. i think the time is 40 hours, but dont quote me on that. i made an alt player, and the leaf didnt disappear until i had leveled cnj to 15 and gld to 34

Its 40 hours of play time, then it goes away.

The online status New Adventurer has been added.
Players whose total play time is less than 40 hours will be set to New Adventurer automatically. To change this status, select your character from the Party Members tab of the Social interface, then select the Edit Search Info subcommand.

Why would you want to get rid of it? It's literally the cutest thing SE has introduced, ever. I love seeing all the little sprouts running around getting leveled up and I will often stop and see if they have any questions or need any help.

There are a ton in Malboro. I was doing my weekly grind of mining Earth Shards in Cedarwood mines when some one shouts out, a little help here. I turn around he is lying there dead. So I said to him stand by. I switch to my PLD and raised him. He said thanks. I switched back to MIN and kept going. About 15 seconds goes by and I get another, could you raise me again. So I said sure stand by. I switch back to PLD and get to him but I had to wait for the Raise to charge so I was just standing there waiting, though he must not wanted to wait and he respawned.

Sent him a tell, saying I was going to raise you just takes a minute after switching classes to charge. He replied, thats ok, I'm sorry I'm a noob at this. I just said to him. No worries, we were all noobs (though I'm still kind of a noob) once. He returned to the mines where I was blew me a kiss and ran off.

Simply go to the Social window and select the Party tab, right click your name and select "Edit Search Info" in the drop down menu select your status e.g. "Online" "New Adventurer" "Busy" etc. Voila, stupid green noob leaves gone.

This thread is over a year old, lol.

And it was never answered.

Try one of the following, in case you're still curious:

/nas off
/nastatus off
/beginnerstatus off

I know it's been said, 40 hours, but I feel like I've passed that checkpoint. I've got BLM at 50, which took me forever, and BOT at 20, which also took a good chunk of time, and I've also got a couple other classes in the works, not to mention I RP quite a lot.

Is there some way to check how many hours I have, so I know?

It used to be 40 hours, but they changed it. Now, if you haven't gone to Ishgard, then you'll keep the "New Player" status (or at least the ability to set it) indefinitely, no matter how long you've played. It can also continue after reaching Ishgard if you have under I believe the new value was 168 hours.

In other words, it's now pretty much meaningless. I've been playing since ARR launch, have 2 jobs and all 11 DoH/DoL classes to 50, and I could still set my status to "New Adventurer" if I wanted to, just because I'm not using the expansion yet.

/playtime

I played 66 hours and I still have it :p
but i kinda like it xD

just to be clear you can change the status to whatever via the edit search info menue but it will reset to new adventurer at your next log in ( in other words that change is not perminate ) ..... as for the sproute thing the game is entering yet another dlc phase and there are alot of new characters and people starting the game it is understandable to want to help but ask before tryng to shove information in a new players face its offencive and offencive to soneone who isnt new just starting a new character . Also please remember people the game is built on options so thier are literaly tons of ways to play no one better then the next respect peoples choices and make a friend rather then argue 20 mins in a run .

the newbie sign.
will be gone when you get a enough playtime and achievements.

playtime alone is not enough when you dont progress in storyline.

regards hobbit :rolleyes:

the Sprout stays until you manually turn it off or you clock 168 hours of gameplay and completion of the A Realm Reborn Main story line upto Patch 2.55 (Before The Fall)

oh my god we need more people like you!

Honestly I'd keep mine for as long as humanely possible. I feel less shy about making mistakes or asking for help/boss strats because most of the time they see sprout and explain it anyway. I'd be stupid to want to get rid of it when people ride past me and /tell me tips for the area I'm in.

I'm with you!

The only thing keeping my sprout tag is being behind on the MSQ since I'm staying in sync with a friend on that and she doesn't play as much as me. I'll be sad when I lose my sprout symbol. I'll still have so many dungeons left to visit and mechanics to learn, but no cute little symbol to show the other players that I'm new to it all.

ya that or:
need something of the lieks of 160 hours play time
passing 50 MSQ into hevensward

having just one does not get rid of it, you can be 9001+ hours and still have it because you did not clear the MSQ, on the other end you can be in 260 gear or whatever and still have it from not meeting the 160 hours.

it may appeared the question has not been answered since the answer changed over time, this is an old thread

I've got 278 hours according to steam and through the ARR quests, I've still got this stupid leaf. I know people have suggested work arounds, but a temporary solution isn't a solution. What is the benchmark to get it to go away?

As of 4.0 launch, new adventurer status expires after accumulating 168 hours of /ptime and completion of the 3.56 story quest "The Far Edge of Fate".

The new adventurer status being greatly extended for players was done due to the Novice Network being added to the game - SE tied access to the NN specifically to new adventurer status, so thinking that players would like to make use of this service for as long as possible, the limits of eligibility to be classed as a 'new adventurer' were extended.

Also although you can turn 'off' the sprout icon, that is only temporary, as it resets it back when you log out of the game - it will only disappear for good once the requirements are met (formerly a certain amount of gametime logged/certain level reached, but now it's the completion of the entire ARR/HW storyline up to the final 3.57 story, no doubt due to the addition of the level/story skip items now adding the phenomenon of brand new players at the beginning of SB.).

If you absolutely just want it gone, just type in:

/nastatus off

(it will also remove you from the Novice Network if you're using that though!)

As noted a couple times in the thread, it is not temporary if you actually turn it off with the /nastatus off command.

I had mine go away after i finished the first SB quest.
or was it the 2nd? I remember I spazzed asking why it was still there, then a couple minutes later it went away and i had a system message in chat saying i had proven myself blah blah.

I had a lot of time logged also, way more than needed, I had let my account stay logged on while working on homework during my summer semester classes etc. but over 200 hours i heard is enough.

so the sprout goes away at SB now!

It's 168 hours, or 7 days by the measurement of the in-game playtime counter.

EDIT: Obviously both are requirements and I didn't say otherwise, but apparently that wasn't obvious enough.

You're both right. It's completion of HW AND 168 hours of playtime. One alone isn't enough, both condition have to be met for it to turn off automatically.

I’ve been trying to get the stupid leaf to go away ever since I got past level 30 on my main class/job. Now Im level 50, finished ARR days ago and still couldnmt figure out how to turn it off! Thanks for posting suggestions on here and telling reasons why some still have it lol

Additional reasons to want to keep the status displayed:

1. You get an EXP bonus when your current class is under 20 and you're grouped with a mentor. This works with level sync, so when a dungeon or FATE temporarily reduces your level under 20, you still get the additional bonus that stacks with all the other EXP bonuses.
2. Players with an aetheryte pendulum (obtained via the referral program) can teleport for free to the aetheryte nearest a friend that is currently using the new adventurer status.

In the event the status was removed, manually or automatically, and you still meet the current conditions for it (less than a week of playtime or not yet reached Stormblood main scenario quests), you can turn it back on with /nas.
