As you prepare for Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail and the Expedition to Tural, it can be hard to figure out how much there is to catch up on (especially if you've taken a break from the game). That's why we've put together a comprehensive guide with 15 ways to prepare your characters.

There are a lot of different factors to consider when preparing for a new expansion like Dawntrail in Final Fantasy XIV, and it honestly comes down to your personal playstyle and in-game priorities. Some players focus on challenging endgame content like Savage and Ultimate raids, while others prefer to focus their efforts on crafting/gathering.

However, a large portion of FFXIV’s massive community enjoys the game with a broad stroke, meaning they seek out a great deal of everything and push their (combat-related) boundaries in moderation. With that in mind, while our guide is intended to help any type of FFXIV player in need of a refresher, our preparation methods are primarily aimed at that “broad” demographic.

When it comes to preparing for a new expansion in FFXIV, one of the most important things to do is to max out all of your tomestone currencies for the final expansion. In the case of Endwalker, that's Tomestones of Causality and Tomestones of Comedy.
