First Steps¶
Welcome to Legendary. 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 point your launcher at 172.215.213.23 on the Connect to the Server page.
1. Warp to GM Home¶
The moment you're in-game, type this in chat:
This teleports you instantly to GM Home — the server hub where almost every setup NPC lives. You'll come back here constantly. Bookmark the command.
2. Talk to Character Upgrader¶
Find the Character Upgrader NPC (shown in-game as ★Unlocker) in the Utility cluster (middle section of GM Home).
This NPC sets up everything a new character needs in a few menu clicks:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Weapon Skills | Unlocks all weapon skills for your current job |
| Spells | Grants all magic spells appropriate to your job |
| Trusts | Unlocks your full trust roster |
| Skills | Caps all combat and magic skills to your level |
| Outpost Warps | Unlocks all outpost warps, including Tu'Lia and Tavnazia |
Tip
Do all of these now. There's no cost and no catch — it's all one-time setup. Skills capping manually would take hours; this takes seconds.
3. Talk to Key Item Moogle¶
Right next to the Character Upgrader, find the Key Item Moogle.
One conversation grants you the full set of ~4,000 key items at once. This opens zone access, mission flags, teleport items, and everything else that key items gate.
Note
This is a single-use NPC — you only need to talk to it once per character. After that first conversation, it's done.
4. Talk to Mission Moogle¶
The Mission Moogle (shown in-game as ★Mission Skip, also in the Utility cluster) offers a single, one-time choice: skip all story missions at once — every expansion from the base game through Rhapsodies of Vana'diel — clearing zone-access and mission gates in one click.
Tip
It's all-or-nothing and once-per-character: if you want to experience the story, say "No" and come back whenever you're ready — but once you accept, there's no second visit. Mission progress doesn't gate anything else on this server, so either choice is safe for gear and progression.
5. Talk to Gear Moogle¶
The Gear Moogle (Progression cluster, near the front of GM Home) hands out a one-time starter gear kit.
This isn't BiS endgame gear — it's enough to survive your first few fights and get the Hunting League rolling. Pick it up before you head out.
6. Level up to 99¶
You start at level 1 — but with every job and subjob already unlocked and 3× mob EXP (plus 10× from books & RoE), the climb is hours, not weeks.
- Talk to the EXP Camp Moogle (Utility cluster) to warp straight to a camp matched to your level — La Theine and Valkurm early, all the way to Yorcia Weald at 90–99.
- Or dive into the Hunting League below right away: the Rank I NMs are low-level, so you earn EXP and Hunt Marks at the same time.
7. Head to Escha ZiTah — start the Hunting League¶
Once your character is set up, the next stop is the server's core progression system: the Hunting League.
This command warps you directly to Escha ZiTah and drops you at the ★ NPC row (Seals, Zone Guide, Accessories); the Zone Guide warps you out to each rank's spawner camp.
Don't skip this step
Without !hunt, Escha ZiTah requires mid-Seekers of Adoulin mission progress to access. Use the command. It's always available.
What is the Hunting League?¶
The Hunting League is a custom rank-based NM hunting system with five 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 Legendary. For full details — ranks, NMs, rewards, recommended order — see the Hunting League page.
Quick start at Escha ZiTah¶
- Talk to the ★ Zone Guide where you land — it explains the zone layout and warps you between rank camps.
- Pop a Rank I NM at the R1 spawner (Leaping Lizzy, Valkurm Emperor, or Tom Tit Tat).
- Kill the NM. Each kill pays 5 Hunt Marks.
- Repeat until you have 50 marks, then unlock Rank II at the ★ Seals NPC (check requirements anytime with
!tier).
