If you love helpingFinal Fantasy XIVnewcomers who may not be as seasoned yet, then becoming anFFXIVmentor is a worthwhile journey. Here’s everything you need to know about how to become a mentor, unlocking Mentor Roulette and what the system rewards.
What is a mentor?
A mentor is a player who, after meeting certain requirements, has a crown next to their character’s name. The role is meant to signify them as a guide to new players, with titles for Battle Mentors and Trade Mentors available. They also have access to the Novice Network, a limited chat channel, and can invite new or returning players into it.
Both Battle and Trade mentors have their own unique requirements. The battle Jobs offer either a PVP or PvE icon variant to the mentor crown, while Trade teachers can choose between crafting or gathering symbols. If you want to help with all of the above for the slightly bigger crown icon, you must complete both the Battle and Trade Mentor requirements.

Tips for earning Commendations
Becoming a PvE Mentor harder than becoming a Trade Mentor because of one thing – commendations. There’s no shortcut here — it takes a while and you have no control over whether people actually give them at all, let alone whether they choose to give them to you.
My only advice is tobe kind to othersin duties, especially new or returning players. Remember how out of your depth you felt when you were just starting to play; when Sashtasha had you on the edge of your seat rather than slumping into it. New players will appreciate friendly advice or conversation.The commendations will come.Eventually.
