What is the Hall of the Novice in Final Fantasy XIV?

From Novice to Master.

There are a host of features in Final Fantasy XIV that can help you get into the game and learn the mechanics quickly. One of the best is the Hall of the Novice. Essentially an in-game tutorial, the Hall of the Novice will teach you the fundamentals of your class and role.

The Hall of the Novice is a series of short duties that run you through some very basic concepts, such as avoiding Area of Effect attacks, executing combos, and managing a battlefield. There are unique tasks for each of the roles, such as building Enmity (aggro) from enemies for tanks, aiding allies for healers, and dealing with adds for DPS.

From level 15, you can talk to an NPC called The Smith in any major city’s Adventurer's Guild. This will unlock the Hall of the Novice. From then, the Hall of the Novice can always be accessed in the Duty section of the menu. 

The Hall of the Novice provides a good amount of experience, and completing all the tasks for it will unlock some decent level 15 gear that will carry your character well into the middle of the A Realm Reborn story. What’s more, completing all the tasks gives you the incredibly valuable Brand-new Ring, an item which grants +30% EXP while below level 30 for any combat class.

Overall, experienced MMO players will probably not find the Hall of the Novice very useful, apart from the Brand-new Ring and gear. But for players new to the genre (or just a bit rusty), the Hall of the Novice is an essential tool.
