Patch 7.5 has finally arrived in Final Fantasy XIV, and with it, PvP Series 11 is now officially underway! Regardless of if you’re a veteran in the Wolves’ Den or you’re just dipping your toes into the competitive scene for the first time, there’s a few good reasons to queue up! This season brings in a new emote, a new minion, and new glamour gear that is worth chasing for the fashionistas out there.
How To Level Up
Leveling up in Final Fantasy’s PvP Series isn’t as hard as you might think it is. Instead of being something that requires winning or playing ranked mode, you can just play any PvP mode to earn Series and PvP EXP. Below is a chart of each PvP Duty and the prizing awaiting you, however keep in mind some modes such as Frontline is very hard to find a match for at times, so Crystalline Conflict is your best bet for easy progression.
| PvP Duty | EXP Earned (First Place / Win) | EXP Earned (Second/Third Place / Loss) |
|---|---|---|
| Frontline | 1,000 PvP EXP 1,500 Series EXP | 2nd Place 750 PvP EXP 1,250 Series EXP 3rd Place 500 PvP EXP 1,000 Series EXP |
