Trials of Fantasy Discord
A FFXIV Community for Sprouts
Our Final Fantasy XIV Discord Community is a place dedicated to helping new players. We focus on helping Free Trial players in particular, as they may often require specialized advice due to limitations. Also, our Discord gives Free Trial sprouts a place to connect and socialize, as there are social restrictions in game.
Although we’re a community for newer players, subbed members and veterans of the game are very much welcome here. Long term players can act as mentors, and can help in running content with the sprouts. Everyone can make a difference here!
The Trials of Fantasy Discord was created on February 14th, 2021 and has been growing and evolving ever since. Come check us out and make some new friends!
Socialize
One of the most important features of Discord is the ability to communicate with others! We have a wide variety of channels to use in our server for different topics. Ask us some questions about the game, share your amazing new screenshots, or show off your latest achievements! We’re open to anything you’d like to talk about. We also have non-FFXIV channels and a few voice chats, if that’s more your thing.
While our number of members is relatively high, our active members are much lower! For that reason, the chats are easy to keep up with and easy to join in. That being said, don’t be afraid to start up some conversations, we’d love to hear from you!
Discord Roles
Server Roles are an important part of Discord Servers, they help conversations go more smoothly, and they’re a lot of fun too! In ToF, Sprout Roles are the most important, they let us know if you’re on the Free Trial or Subbed. These roles are required to view our channels and allow us to give proper advice!
Next up are Data Center roles! These let us know which servers you play on, and are required to view our Party Finder channels. These come with fun Role Colors and custom made Role Icons, created just for Trials of Fantasy.
Other than that, we have some optional Activity, Announcement, and Pronoun Roles to choose from. There’s some special ones too, like for our supporters!
Party Finder
Once you have your Data Center roles, head over to our Party Finder Channels! You’ll see your appropriate regional channel depending on what servers you’re in. With DC Travel, you can play with anyone from any server that’s in your region.
From there, you can start looking for others to play with! Don’t be shy, try asking around or try joining someone else. We have special roles you can @mention to help gather attention. You can grab those in our role selection channel. A full list of pingable roles can be found in our Pinned Messages, as well.
Cross World Linkshells
Would you rather be chatting in game? Well, we have Cross-World Linkshells for that! CWLSs can be used for socializing, or for finding other online members to play with. It’s one of the best communication options for Free Trial players!
To join one of our linkshells, tell us your Name and Server in one of our regional Party Finder channels. Ping us with a @Linkshell Invites mention so we can be notified! After, someone can send you an invite. You need to be online for this! We have have linkshells on nearly every Data Center, feel free to ask! You can also join a CWLS in a separate DC, though you’ll need to be visiting that DC to use it.
Free Trial News
We have an Announcement Channel where we share all the important news about Final Fantasy 14! All of our posts are personally written by myself, instead of just copying everything from the lodestone. By having custom posts, we can point out any specific news relating to Free Trial players, and more.
It’s also possible to Follow our News Channel to have our posts delivered directly to your own Discord Server! While we do post server announcements there, only game related news is shared with other servers.
Discord Bots
Our server has a few bots to enhance your experience. One of these is called Kupo Bot, which allows FFXIV connectivity. The most popular feature is the ability to link and share your character’s profile directly from the Lodestone. Other useful commands include looking up market board prices, or showing item details.
Another bot that we use is called Tatsu. It’s not FF14 related, but it has tons of fun games and activities! Such as the ability to raise and care for a “Tamagotchi” like pet. You can create an avatar and decorate your own house for your pets. There’s even going to be a giant world filled with RPG elements added to the game soon! You can also go fishing, play slots, or give people cookies! All within Discord.
Rewards for Activity
Chatting here in Trials of Fantasy is fun and all, but did you know you can be rewarded too? Members can gain EXP by simply talking in our channels. After earning enough EXP, you can level up and be given a special role! Furthermore, there’s a Leaderboard to show who’s the most active in our server. Additionally, there’s our “Active Member” role that’s awarded by talking weekly.
Members also gain various currencies by chatting. These can be used to buy various fun things in the Tatsu Shop. With Credits and Tokens, you can buy customizations for your profile cards and other things like furniture for the game. With Sprouts Points, you can buy special Role Colors in our Server Reward Store.
Emojis and Stickers
We have plenty of Emojis and Stickers to choose from to spice up your conversations! We currently have the maximum amount of 525 emojis available and 40+ Stickers. You’ll never run out of options! For those with a Discord Nitro subscription, it’s possible use all of these emojis in other servers and in direct messages too! Not liking our selection? Feel free to suggest some!
Supportive + Safe Community
Trials of Fantasy strives to make ours members feel safe while in our server. Any members that are causing trouble, or making someone feel uncomfortable will be immediately dealt with. We’re also very supportive of the LGBT+ community and will not tolerate any discrimination what so ever. We want our server to be a place you can call home. Enjoy your time in ToF!
If you need to reach us about any issues at all, please submit a ticket in our Contact-a-Mod channel. We’ll do our do best to respond as soon as possible. Or if you’d like to suggest any changes for our server, we also have a channel where you can leave some feedback! ♥
So what are you waiting for?
⭐ Discord FAQs ⭐
Discord is an app used to chat with others, for both Desktop and Mobile. I’d say it’s like a combination of texting and forums. Discord groups are called Servers, and these host a variety of Channels, which are like chat rooms for different topics. Most of our channels are text based, although there’s optional voice channels as well.

No, none at all! Everyone is welcome to join, so come have some fun! We only ask that you respect our members, and follow the few simple server rules that we have. You get bonus points for being nice and active, though! ♥
Yes, of course! Although Trials of Fantasy focuses on supporting sprouts in the early game, everyone can still join in. Experienced players can help guide our newer members and help out around the server in various ways. We love having people to chat with, regardless of your in game status.

Sprout Roles are required to view all of our channels, so be sure to grab them in our Role Selection Channel! Our Data Center Roles are also required to view the Party Finder channels. Having role requirements allow us to communicate more effectively, and increases the security of our server.
The world you play in determines which Data Center you belong to.
You can use this link to find which Data Center your server is in:
Before anything, read through our Welcome Page and select your roles in Role Selection. After that, introduce yourself in our Introductions channel! Then maybe hop into FFXIV Talk if you’d just like to chat, or Questions if there’s something that you’d like to know! Just take your take time, no reason to rush into things. ♥
You can either select the option from the ToF drop-down menu (above channels) or right click your name, either in chat or the members list. The slash command /nick also works.
I highly recommend using the name you use in Final Fantasy XIV. This helps keep things consistent between gaming and chatting in the Discord. It’s optional, but others may appreciate it.
Pinned messages, referred to as Pins, are posts that tell you important information about the channel that you’re in. I recommend reading them if they’re available, they can give you tips on how to use our channels better. Each channel has their own different Pins.
To view a pin, look for a little Pushpin 📌 Icon!
For Desktop: In the top right corner of the channel, in the description bar.
For Mobile: Click the channel name at the top, or swipe left to open the side menu.
Try asking in one of our Party Finder Channels! To be successful in finding people, make sure to include you want to do in the game! It’s also VERY important to use our Activity Role Mentions! These will help you get noticed by pinging other members who might be interested! If you need a reminder of what roles you can mention, check out our pinned message!
No, we do not have any Free Companies for Trials of Fantasy. Considering we’re a global community, and FCs are world based, it would be incredibly difficult managing individual ones. Not to mention, Free Trial players are unable to join FCs. If you’re interested in chatting with us in game, considering joining our Cross-World Linkshells!
You need to be in Bot Commands to use Kupo Bot. Kupo uses the default ! prefix.
Save your character using the command: !iam <Server> <Name>
Example: !iam Siren Ayumi Love
After, you can use !me to display your character at any time.
Linkshells are in game chat groups. They’re useful when you don’t want to keep checking Discord. They’re also one of the best ways to chat as a Free Trial player. To join one of ours, ask for an invite in one of our regional Party Finder channels. Tell us your in game name and the world that you play on, then someone can invite you while you’re online. Be sure to use our @Linkshell Invites mention so people can notice you!
In our Feedback Channel! Feel free to share any suggestions or ideas for our Discord or Website. Tell us all about what you like and dislike, and how we could improve things! We take all suggestions seriously and have made plenty of changes based off user feedback already. We love to hear your thoughts on everything, it really helps!
Boosting a server helps to level it up and unlock perks for all of our members!
