  • 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).
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.
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.
