No General Chat?

I lost access to the Novice Network today and my FC is very small.

Your options include:

• Going to a popular /shout chat location such as Limsa Lominsa or Idyllshire and ask there.
• Join FFXIV discord servers. There are genuinely thousands of them. There are hundreds of very large ones, nevermind smaller ones.
• Joining a more active FC.
• Finding some CWLS to join. You may find some likeminded CWLS recruitments in the Fellowship Finder or via the Community Finder at https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...Maduin&type=ls
• Becoming a mentor. To become a battle mentor often takes a year of legitimate, regular play across a variety of job roles and content, or you can speed it up by becoming a trade mentor (which many sprouts do to remain in the Novice Network).

I now don't have any way to read world chat or get help answering questions.

The easiest ways to do that are probably just to teleport to Limsa Lominsa and ask, or put it in the New Player Forum, or join some FFXIV discord servers and ask there.

Kudos, best advice here. Thank you for taking the time to compose this.

I'm not the OP but thank you for this informative and respectful post for new players to read. It doesn't have the gruff and "What are you, stupid?" vibe that some other posts may have.

Pretty much this
