First Steps

Welcome to the Relaunch server. You've got the client running, you're in-game — now what?

This page walks you through the first 15–20 minutes: getting your character set up, picking up starter gear, and launching the core progression path. Follow these steps in order and you won't miss anything important.

Not in-game yet?

Get connected first: install the client — including the xiloader.exe loader — then follow the Connect to the Server page to configure your launcher with the correct IP and ports.

1. Orient yourself — one island hub

Every custom NPC lives on a single island plaza — Purgonorgo Isle. Type !hub to warp there any time.

  • Getting-around & set-up — Home Point crystal, Warpman, Survival Guide.
  • Economy — Gil Exchange, Sparks Exchange, Race Changer, Title Broker, Mystery Mog, Cosmetic Shop; the Casino; the Daily & Hunt boards; Unity and Chocobo Derby.
  • Endgame — Apex Trials, Prime Armory, Relic Forge, Colosseum, Endless Tower, the Gauntlet, Infamy / HTBF / Voidwatch vendors, Augment Moogle & Sage, the mastery trainers, Cross-Job Trainers, and the combat Test Dummy for DPS testing.

The NPCs are spaced out across the plaza so a crowd can shop at once. !leaf and !lib are the two aliases that warp you to Purgonorgo Isle.

2. Your character is already set up

There's no setup NPC to visit on the Relaunch server — every new character is fully provisioned the moment it's created. Before you take a single step, you already have:

What you get Details
Weapon skills & spells Every weapon skill and every job spell (not Trusts), granted automatically
Capped skills All combat and magic skills capped to your level
Trusts Four starters — Shantotto, Kupipi, Trion, and Tenzen. The rest you earn by killing the right NMs
Key items The complete set of ~4,000 key items — zone access, teleports, and everything else key items gate
Missions & rank Every story mission completed (all nations + RoZ/CoP/ToAU/WotG/SoA/RoV); nation rank 10
Maps & travel All maps, outpost warps (including Tu'Lia and Tavnazia), homepoints, and survival guides
Storage Full Mog Wardrobes
Pets Pet attachments (for the relevant jobs)
Starter gear Visit the Welcome Moogle at !hub for the free Chocobo Shirt, Destrier Beret, and Echad Ring
Legendary Ring A Rare/Ex heirloom accessory: a powerful all-jobs ring that speeds up EXP and Capacity gain, grants Auto-Reraise and extra movement speed, and keeps your EXP safe when you fall in battle

You're also handed 25 Hunt Marks as a starter stipend — the currency everything here runs on. You also keep a Legendary Ring for good — a Rare/Ex heirloom accessory: a powerful all-jobs ring that speeds up EXP and Capacity gain, grants Auto-Reraise and extra movement speed, and keeps your EXP safe when you fall in battle.

Note

None of this requires talking to anyone. You don't need to track down a Character Upgrader, Key Item Moogle, Mission Moogle, or Gear Moogle — it's all done for you at creation. Just play.

3. Level up to 99

You start at level 1 — but with every job and subjob already unlocked and 3× mob EXP (plus 3× from books & RoE), the climb is hours, not weeks.

  • Type !expcamp to warp straight to one of 22 level-banded EXP camps — La Theine Plateau early, up through Kamihr Drifts at 95–99. Run !expcamp on its own to list the camps, then !expcamp 4 to warp to one.
  • !warp is the menu version when you want to browse travel routes instead of remembering a shortcut.

4. At level 99, head to Escha ZiTah — start the Hunting League

Once you reach level 99, the next stop is the server's core progression system: the Hunting League. Its NMs are level-99 encounters; their familiar names are not a sign that they are leveling targets.

!hunt

This command warps you directly to Escha ZiTah and drops you next to the Hunt Hub and Spawner NPCs.

What is the Hunting League?

The Hunting League is a custom rank-based NM hunting system with 5 ranks. You kill NMs, earn Hunt Marks, spend marks to unlock the next rank, and buy gear from the reward shop.

It's the primary path to endgame gear and the main thing to do on the Relaunch server. For full details — ranks, NMs, rewards, recommended order — see the Hunting League page.

Quick start at Escha ZiTah

  1. Talk to Hunt: Hub to see your current rank and marks.
  2. Talk to Hunt: Spawner to pop a Rank I NM (Leaping Lizzy, Valkurm Emperor, or Tom Tit Tat).
  3. Kill the NM. Each kill pays 15 Hunt Marks.
  4. Repeat until you have 150 marks, then return to Hunt: Hub to unlock Rank II.

Summary

Step Action
1 !hub — warp to Purgonorgo Isle, the single custom-NPC hub
2 !hub — visit the Welcome Moogle for your free starter gear
3 !expcamp — warp to a level-banded camp and level to 99 (3× mob EXP)
4 !hunt — warp to Escha ZiTah and start the Hunting League
