Check out our guide on how to search the players and different characters in FFXIV.
Final Fantasy XIV is an MMORPG that revolves around the fictional world of Eorza. As it is an online multiplayer, you can search and invite your friends. Several player characters wander around the open world. And searching for them can be a tricky part. So, here’s our guide on how to search for a player and characters in FFXIV.
How to Search a Player and Characters in FFXIV
There are two ways to search for the players and characters.
Let’s get on to finding the different players or friends first. Follow these steps:
Head over to the main menu of Final Fantasy XIV and click on the Social List option to the bottom right.
It is the icon with a smiling and frown emoji on it. As you click on it, select the Player Search option at the top.
You need to click on the Player Search tab and select the Search conditions option at the bottom left.
Type the name of the friend or player you want to add in the Name dialog box.
You can type their first name or last name to search for them.
We suggest not tweaking other search conditions as it may lead to confusion.
That’s because the player might have changed their Class/Job or Grand companies.
After typing their name, hit the Execute option to search the player.
Then, you can find their name on the Social list.
Right-click on the username to invite themto a party or send them a friend request.
Now, that we know how to search players, let’s search the non-player characters (NPCs) in Eorza.
For this method, we need to head to the Lodestone website.
