new adventurer status keeps returning....why?

They should simply remove that the sign comes back after zoning after the first status change...

But the sprout icon is so cute! I wish I could use it...

Hey guys, looking through the forums today and came across this one, just wanted to clear some things up as to why Square has structured the game this way despite you being a vet player and not a new adventurer.

So with the Recruit a friend program both the friend and recruiter receive the ability to port themselves to the nearest crystal of any "new adventurer" or sprout that is in their friends list. So the reason that you are made to have such status despite being veteran is that this allows those people to see your in the first 40 hours of game play on that character and if you would like to friend and quest with them, they will be able to use this feature and know visually once it has expired use with your new char.

Hope that helps!

You could of easily just told her how to turn it off without insulting her.
Could fix your rudeness...also I personally find the lil sprout thing cute lol.

You can't turn off the sprout until you have X Hours under your belt. The sprout returns when you change areas even if you manually turn it off.

Thank you for contacting the FINAL FANTASY XIV Support Desk.

We are sorry to hear that the new adventurer status is not very clear.

With patch 3.25, the duration of the ''New Adventurer'' status has been changed from 40 hours to 168 hours. The level of the character does not play a role there.

If you wish to permanently turn the status off, please use the following command:
/nastatus off

You can find all the recent changes in the 3.25 patch notes here:
