This guide is my version of “How to get started with Bozja”, and is best suited for solo FFXIV players who want to progress in Bozjan Southern Front, Delubrum Reginae Normal and Zadnor without feeling lost. You can expect to be done in leveling in about 11-15 hours from start to finish (not including pre-requisites), assuming average instance activity. I recommend Chapter 1 for all the core information about Bozjan core mechanics (mettle, skirmishes, critical engagements…), for those who do not want to watch the whole thing. Also, use the timestamps in the video or more detailed timestamps in the first comment to navigate topics you’re interested in.

  2. I've been putting off Eureka and Bozja because it seemed very daunting, but some of the clips from the intro of your guide really surprised me! Thank you so much for making this guide, as it will be the perfect way for me to finally getting into Bozja!

  3. A few backs I started the grind for the card mount. Along the way, I realized the fact that I've never really done Bozja or Eureka would come back to bite me. I've been searching and searching for a guide like this. I wish I could like this more than once. Thank you. I'll def be watching your Eureka guide.

  4. I've been eyeing the Judge sets for so long, and now really want the Scouting one for a Viper glam. I might just jump into a Discord and get to learning. Anyone have any experience with doing DRS for the first time? I'm kind of put off by the raising restrictions…

  5. This is an astoundingly good guide. I can't even begin to imagine how much work it took.

    And while I've done far too much Bozja and already knew all of this going in. But I did learn that I can pin the Doman Enclave aetheryte to my favourites.

  6. 15:03 Worth noting that, if it's your preference, you can also directly keybind duty actions in the keybind settings; should be under Hotbar, at the very bottom, Duty Action I and Duty Action II (note that duty action II is the one on the left, and duty action 1 is on the right).
