To make your adventure a bit easier, you can use a "recruit a friend"-Code which gives you access to a few items which are nice to have.
To redeem my code (B8E23B9P) you have to:

- Go to FFXIV Mog Station ( http://sqex.to/Msp )
- Register a Square-Enix Account
- Click on "Your Account" at the top left of the screen
- Click on "Manage Service Options"
- Click on "Enter Recruitment Code"
- Enter the CODE: B8E23B9P

(Those items you'll get are a Friendship circlet which will increase the EXP by 20% until you reach LVL 25, 99 free Teleports, an Emote (fistbump), and 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers which you can exchange for Armor)Good luck and a wonderful Journey!
