Novice Trials

  • Novice Trials to upgrade your existing equipment can be undertaken from the following NPCs:
  • This quest is available for all character types and there is no cooldown.
  • Players are assigned a list of enemies to defeat and messages track their objectives.
  • Some new encounters will require items to spawn and may be level capped.
    • All party members who have flagged the trial will receive completion when the Notorious Monster is defeated, requiring only one player to obtain the pop items.
  • HQ versions of crafted items can be traded to Mellie alongside an augmented normal quality version, transferring these augments to the HQ version.
    • (The current trial must first be completed)
    • The NQ version will be consumed.
  • Unlike Adept Reforging, players may complete Novice Trials on any job.
  • Augmented items can be stored at the Squire Guard in Ru'Lude Gardens (I-10).
