Muses are like potato chips — you can never have just one! The addiction to alternate characters, or alts, has spread across the entire FFXIV player base, affecting roleplayers worst of all. Creating a second (or third, or fourth…) original character, and starting the game again from scratch, can be a fun and fulfilling experience — except for the parts when it’s a long, dull grind, of course.

In this episode, we share our tips and those of other alt-aholics on how to share your love amongst all your children. We discuss the many tidbits and easter eggs you can find in full playthroughs that can’t be found in The Unending Journey; pros and cons of sticking to one server versus trying another server; the extra costs and Mog Station purchases you may need; optimizing gear and leveling with the least amount of repeated effort; and how to set goals for each of your characters’ progress. Alts are a wonderful way to deepen your FFXIV experience — and before you know it, you might become an alt-aholic too!
