New Player Questions (PS4)

[Anova]

1. Teleport is generally not a large expense, especially if you have a quest waiting at the end of your journey.

2. That trait is cut and dry. Keep in mind that this trait is only found in the conjurer and arcanist classes, two classes that traditionally do not output a lot of burst damage anyway. The healing is more important in that it is timed with the damage and healing spikes of the lv.41 dungeon, Stone Vigil.

3. Those are hunts. Think of them as something similar to world bosses. They are not generally aggressive, but you should avoid being in melee range regardless. At level 50, you can kill them for hunt tokens to exchange for gear and vanity items.

4. If you haven't gotten your chocobo yet, save seals to get one. Otherwise, you would buy an i55 weapon upgrade when you first reached level 50 and got to the highest rank. Now, it's used mostly for crafting materials and to access pvp content. The seals are more or less worthless unless you're a crafter.

5. AF3 is not out. You have AF1 at level 45 and 50, and then an i90 version with the same design called AF1.5 or also called AF1. AF2 can be bought with endgame tokens at lv60 and is i200. It has a much different design than AF1.

You can get these tokens by completing dungeons and rouletttes that give 'Tome of Esoterics'. Generally, AF2 is extremely easy to get. The biggest factor is that they are time-gated. You can only earn 450 tokens every week, so each piece will cost you about 2 weeks of running dungeons (3 weeks for the weapons). The dungeons are generally easy and most people do speedrun them, so I would compare the actual process as a grind or getting a daily (you can just do 1 dungeon roulette a day, 20 to 40 minutes, and cap in 6 days).

6. Generally, no. There are some niche abilities you will never use outside of a few situations at endgame. However, almost all abilities are useful and needed. The exception is perhaps with the 3 healing classes, who have 1 damage ability that becomes obsolete at level 54.

If you need more hotbars, unlock a 2nd set here using R2 and L2:
Character Configuration > Hotbar Settings > Cross > Set Selection

Hope that answers everything.
