Leveling

The leveling system of FFXIV will be unlike that of most other MMORPGs to date. Rather than earning experience points toward the growth and development of their character, players will train and improve their proficiencies with tools and weapons. Each discipline may have different means of leveling, and currently, there has been a lack of information given to the matter. However, it is known that weapons will improve with use, and this system of growth is also likely for the use of magic. Within the Disciples of Hand and Disciples of Land, one might expect that synthesizing items and using tools to find materials will provide a means of growth, respectively.
