It’s time for me to cover my absolute favourite Beast Tribes being the Shadowbringers Beast Tribes as they are currently the highest level Beast Tribes that you can complete at this point.
The Shadowbringers Beast Tribes are by far the simplest Beast Tribes that players will be able to complete and will provide players with some of the best quick Experience in the whole game and don’t need players to run around completing too many quests before they unlock them.
Although players will be able to complete this Beast Tribe before they unlock the other types of Beast Tribes, I do recommend unlocking the Heavensward, A Realm Reborn and Stormblood Beast Tribes first as they will help fuel a lot of your experience grinding before you reach Shadowbringers.
Shadowbringers, like many of the other Beast Tribes, has 3 different Beast Tribes that players can meet up with and complete being the Dwarf Beast Tribe, Qitari Beast Tribe and Pixie Beast Tribe.
While two of the Beast Tribes are focused on Diciples or War/Magic, there is a Beast Tribe that players can complete with their Disciples of Hand in order to level up their Crafters.
While Beast Tribes aren’t going to be the only way players level up their Crafters, they do provide a good amount of experience.
If you’re looking for for a way to level up your Crafters quickly I strongly recommend checking out my husband’s Crafter guide as he goes very in depth and gives you all the information you need.
The Shadow Breast Tribes are going to help players level between level 70-80 and are going to be a great addition to your daily grind for experience as by only completing a few quests a day, you will level up your side classes quickly.
This guide is going to take you through everything you need to know about the Shadowbringers Beast Tribes including how to unlock them, their notable rewards and their locations, though I will cover more of their detailed specifics on their own pages so that I can keep this post streamlined.
Note: If you have any questions about FFXIV that you want me to cover feel free to leave them in a comment below, you can also ask me while I am streaming on Twitch, YouTube or in our community discord.
DWARF DAILY QUESTS
The Dwarf Daily Quests are going to be your go to Beast Tribe if you’re looking to want to level up your Disciples of Hand, meaning your Crafters.
HOW TO UNLOCK THE DWARF DAILY QUESTS
In order to unlock the Dwarf Daily Quests, players are going to have to complete It’s Dwarfin’ Time which is located in Kholousia (X:15.7, Y:30.3).
Players should note that they will need to complete a list of quests that are unrelated to Beast Tribes. To be concise, before I dive into what exactly these quests are, they are the story line that players require to unlock the Aether Currents in the area.
It’s a very good idea for players to be aware of all the major side quests which are marked with Blue Quest Markers with plus signs on them. These always mean that a player will be able to unlock an Aspect of the game when they are completed. As many players will not have the time to complete every quest in the game, this is the best way to tell if a Quest is important or not.
The Quests players must complete before It’s Dwarfin’ Time unlocks are:

The Lalinator 5.H0 is a Minion that players can unlock and while I don’t really use it, it’s always nice to have more Minions for Lord of Verminion.

WHERE TO FIND THE QITARI BEAST TRIBE
is located in The Rak’tika Greatwood at X:20.9, Y:27.8 and will be given by Valan.
Players must do the following to complete it:
NOTABLE REWARDS FOR THE QITARI BEAST TRIBE
While there are many rewards player can obtain from the Qitari Beast Tribe, there are a good portion of rewards that players will not want to miss out on.
Players can purchase Qitari Beast Tribe items from Yuqurl Manl in Rak’tika Greatwood (x37.3,y17.1).
The following are what I deem the most notable rewards from the Qitari Beast Tribe:
THE BEHATTED SERPENT OF RONKA
The Behatted Serpent of Ronka requires players to reach the Bloodsworn rank with the Qitari Beast Tribe and will need 8 Qitari Compliment.
RONKAN FLUTE
The Ronkan Flute is the most important item to me to purchase as it is the Beast Tribe Mount for the QItari. Players will need to have the Sworn Rank with the Qitari Beast Tribe and will need to spend 18 Qitari Compliment.
HOPL’S DROPPLE ORCHESTRATION ROLL
The Hopl’s Dropple Orchestration Roll is a less important reward unless players are trying to gather all of the Orchestrion Rolls available to them. Players will need to have an Honored Rank with the Qitari Beast Tribe and will need 6 Qitari Compliment to purchase it.
THE BEHELMETED SERPENT OF RONKA
The Behelmeted Serpent of Ronka feels like a misnamed Minion, though it is truly a cutie to have on your roster and with all other minions is a good idea to have on your team if you are playing Lord of Verminion. Players will need to have a Trusted rank with the Qitari Beast Tribe and will need to pay 8 Qitari Compliment.
PIXIE DAILY QUESTS
The Pixie Beast Tribe is the final Beast Tribe players will want to access and will be focused on your Disciples of War and Disciples of Magic.
While at this point players will probably want to use Bozja to level up their Jobs, players can still opt out to do Pixie Beast Tribes due to their high amount of experience gain.
While you probably won’t want to simply rely on the Pixie Daily Beast Tribe to level up your Disciples of War and Disciples of Magic, for the experience you get for the little time you spend is pretty awesome. Not to mention, you can obviously spend your Fae Fancies to make some extra Gil.
HOW TO UNLOCK THE PIXIE BEAST TRIBE
The Pixie Beast Tribe acts fairly different than the other Beast Tribes in the sense that players will have to do less work to unlock it and will simply need to do one quest after completing The Wheels Turn in the MSQ (Level 73).
Players will have to complete the quest Manic Pixie Dream Realm which is located in The Crystarium (X:13.1, Y:15.3) from the quest giver Pink Pixie.
Players must complete the following tasks:
Speak with Tyr Beq in Sullen.
Speak with Ezel II.
Vanquish the nightmare creature.
Speak with Tyr Beq.
Speak with the Sullen girl.
Speak with Thon Sul in Lydha Lran.
Speak with Tyr Beq in Lyhe Mheg.
Speak with Tyr Beq in Lyhe Mheg again.
Speak with Tyr Beq in Lydha Lran.
WHERE TO FIND THE PIXIE BEAST TRIBE
The Pixie Daily Beast Tribe Quests are located in Il Mheg at X:12.4, Y:32.9.
NOTABLE REWARDS FOR THE PIXIE BEAST TRIBE
As is with all other Beast Tribes, the Pixie Beast Tribe offers a great variety of rewards that players can purchase with Fae Fancies, though some are going to be more appealing than others. The following are the rewards I find most notable:
WIND-UP PIXIE
The Wind-Up Pixie is an adorable little Minion players can collect to Summon or simply use in Lord of Verminion.
Players will need to reach the Honored rank with the Pixies and will have to pay 8 Fae Fancies.
PORTLY PORXIE HORN
The Portly Porxie Horn is my favourite reward from the Pixies as it will reward players with the mount attributed to the Pixie Beast Tribe. Players will need to have a Sworn rank with the Pixie Beast Tribe and will cost 18 Fae Fancies.
IL MHEG FLOWER LAMP
The Il Mheg Flower Lamp is a Table Top item that can be used in your housing and requires players to reach a Bloodsworn rank with the Pixie Beast Tribe. Players will have to spend 8 Fae Fancies in order to purchase it.
THE GARDEN’S GATES ORCHESTRATION ROLL
The Garden’s Gates Orchestrian Roll is my least favourite purchase from the Pixie Beast Tribe as I don’t really care for Orchestration Rolls, however, if you’re a collector this is right up your alley. You’re going to need a Bloodworn rank with the Pixie Beast tribe and will need to spend 6 Fae Fancies.
MACRON CUSHION
The Macaron Cushion is another household item that players can place in their housing units and will require players to get the Trusted rank with the Pixie Beast Tribe. Players will then need to spend 3 Fae Fancies in order to purchase it.
STUFFED PORXIE
The stuffed Porxie is the final housing item players can purchase from the Pixie Beast Tribe and will require players to hit the Respected rank in order to purchase it for 5 Fae Fancies.
CONCLUSION
While all Beast Tribes are helpful for players, there are ones that I personally like to focus on more than others. For example, I’m a huge fan of the Porxie Mount so I personally rushed my Pixie Beast Tribe to make sure I got it first.
To this day I’m still using these Beast Tribes to help get my side Jobs up, especially because they take little to no time and I can sell a good portion of the items that can be bought with the Beast Tribe Currency to make a bit of extra Gil.
But I’m curious, which of the Shadowbringers Beast Tribes was your favourite? Which rewards did you gun for?
