What is the Free Level Cap in FFXIV?

Published in FFXIV Free Trial 2 mins read

The free level cap in Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) for Free Trial players is Level 70.

Understanding the FFXIV Free Trial Level Cap

The FFXIV Free Trial allows players to experience a substantial portion of the critically acclaimed MMORPG without a time limit. This includes being able to play characters up to Level 70 across all available jobs and classes. This generous cap encompasses content from the base game, A Realm Reborn, as well as the first two major expansions, Heavensward and Stormblood.

This means that free trial players can:

  • Explore Vast Content: Journey through the entire main story quests of A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, and Stormblood.
  • Level Multiple Jobs: Level up all combat and crafting/gathering jobs to Level 70, allowing for extensive experimentation with different playstyles.
  • Engage in High-Level Activities: Participate in dungeons, trials, and raids introduced in these expansions, offering a complete gameplay experience for their level range.

Key Features for Free Trial Players

The FFXIV Free Trial is designed to provide a comprehensive look at the game's world and mechanics. Here are some key aspects related to the level cap:

  • Extensive Content Access: Players have access to hundreds of hours of story content, alongside a wide array of side quests, FATEs (Full Active Time Events), and other activities available up to the Level 70 threshold.
  • No Time Limit: Unlike many other game trials, the FFXIV Free Trial has no time restrictions, allowing players to progress at their own pace.
  • Seamless Progression: A significant benefit for Free Trial users is that any characters created, their progress, and all associated data, including levels, items, and story completion, can be carried over to the full game should a player decide to purchase the game and a subscription. This ensures that no progress is lost when upgrading from the trial version.

For more information on the free trial, you can visit the official FINAL FANTASY XIV Free Trial website.

Beyond Level 70

To continue the epic saga beyond Level 70 and access the latest expansions such as Shadowbringers, Endwalker, and upcoming content like Dawntrail, players will need to purchase the full game and subscribe to a recurring monthly plan. This unlocks all subsequent content, removes certain Free Trial limitations (such as chat restrictions and gil caps), and allows characters to reach the current maximum level.
