The Adventures Of Pirotess: So You Want To Be A Dancer

With the Shadowbringers expansion in Final Fantasy XIV one of the jobs you can unlock is Dancer. Those of us who played Final Fantasy XI remember the Dancer job class pretty well. I was excited to get it unlocked and try it out. Want to get Dancer unlocked yourself? Here's how. First, you will need to have a disciple of war job class to at least level 60 since Dancer starts at level 60. Next, head to Limsa Lominsa lower decks and talk to the NPC called Eager Lominsan which will start the quest, Shall We Dance.


Talk to Eager Lominsan and start the Shall We Dance quest. 


Shall We Dance gives you an introduction to the Dancer job class. You get a great cutscene with it and you can see how it looks. After the cutscene you receive all the equipment you need for Dancer. Make sure you talk to the NPC again to get your next Dancer quest, Gamboling For Gil. 


Pirotess gets her Dancer equipment.


You will need to travel to Costa del Sol and talk to the NPC Nashmeira for the Gamboling for Gil quest. This gives you a chance to use your Dancer skills. You need to perform specific moves in order to finish the quest. It's a good introduction to the job class and figuring out what each skill does. 


Pirotess shows off her dancing skills. 


Dancer is a lot of fun and I am enjoying leveling it. Dancer has a lot of great combat skills as well as support skills for party members. It's interesting and adds a unique style to the world of Final Fantasy XIV. Get out there and get dancing! Thanks for reading, see you at the next adventure!


See you at the next adventure!

The Adventures Of Pirotess: Celebrating Moonfire Faire 2019

The Moonfire Faire is back in Final Fantasy XIV. This is a fun seasonal event because it really captures the fun spirit of Summer with hanging out on the beach, eating delicious food, and having a good time with your friends. To start the event, you need to be at least level 30 and you will need to go to Limsa Lominsa's Upper Decks and talk to the NPC Mayaru Moyaru which gives you the Feels Like Moonfire quest. Head to Costa del Sol where the Moonfire Faire is held each year.


Head to Cost del Sol to start celebrating. 


There are a couple of activities you can do at Moonfire. One is a jumping puzzle course a la Ninja Warrior which is decently challenging. It took me a couple of tries to get through this course, but it was a lot of fun trying it out. Don't worry if you fall in the water, you can go back to the beginning and try again. When you complete the course, you get tokens that you can exchange for prizes. 


Pirotess and Mouse the chocobo check out the jumping course.


There is also a little side quest at the event called Anything You Can Do. It only takes a few minutes to do and you get to see a cute story at the event and when you complete it you get the white Moonfire happi set. 


Do this quest and get the white Moonfire happi set as a reward. 


If you're not into jumping hijinks, don't worry. You can try your culinarian skills instead. Talk to the NPC Hildelana to get the Frying for Fame and Fortune quest. Having culinarian unlocked and at least level 5 is a good advantage because you will need to make the battered fish recipe. If you have fisherman unlocked this is good too. You can get the haddock you need by either fishing for it and getting the Hook, Line, and Sinker fishing quest done or you can buy some haddock from the fishing vendor. 


Unlock this quest to get cooking at the Faire. 


The nice thing about the cooking quest is that it is repeatable so you can turn in as many battered fish as you want during this ongoing event in order to get tokens that you turn in to the NPC vendor for various prizes. There are a lot of great prizes this year ranging from Moogle masks to a portable pool. 


Trade tokens in for a variety of great rewards. 


The Moonfire Faire is a lot of fun each year and it's a nice break from the leveling grind and adventuring. The event is running until August 26. Get out there, celebrate, and have fun! See you at the next adventure! 


Pirotess enjoys the Moonfire Faire fireworks. See you at the next adventure!
