Welcome to Ul'Dah

Rising from the sands is the bulwarked bastion known as Ul'dah. Behind this fortress's walls, commerce is alive and well thanks to the efforts of the Gladiator and Pugilist Guilds who take vigil and protect it from what lurks in the sun-bleached terrain beyond the stone and mortar.

Moving forward

Yayatoki
Initial quest giver

Oh, yay. A parade! Following the excitement you find after your entrance into this fort city of Ul'dah, you'll find yourself near the center of the circular city. Take some time to speak with some of the NPCs hanging around. When you're ready to move forward, speak with Yayatoki.

Guilds

Guild halls are valuable for both resources and information. If you're looking to start a new class, be sure to check with these guilds marked on the map first. Being that Ul'dah is a series of circles, it's not hard to find what you need.

Ul'dah is home to a Thaumaturge's, Alchemist's, Pugilist's, Goldsmith's, Gladiator's, Miner's and Weaver's Guilds.

Be sure to check out these guild halls for all your class needs.

Notable NPCs

There is a plethora of non-player characters living in Ul'dah. What follows are some of the more notable of those characters to help you in getting started. Quest-related and Guldleve NPCs will typically be your starting point for some of the major quests while the vendors are a good place to check should you be looking for arms or tools for other classes.

Quest-related

Guildleves

Guildleves are broken into several versions. Battlecraft are for Disciples if War and Disciples of Magic, fieldcraft are for Disciples of the Land and local leves are for Disciples of the Hand.

While local leves usually can be completed without stepping foot into the wilds, Other guildleves will require players to step into the wilds and take on dangerous tasks. For Battlecraft and Fieldcraft, speak with Totonawa. For the crafting-focused Local leves speak with Eustace.

Vendors

If the city you're in doesn't have a guild hall for your class of choice, or if you're looking for some items with which to craft, these NPCs may be a good place to start. Most listed below sell items that can be used by crafting classes, along with the items necessary to begin a new class.

Weapons

If you're looking to switch to a new melee or magic class, Romululu's Bric-a-Brac and The Rudius should be your destination. You can find it on the southwestern side of Ul'dah. These vendors only sell weathered, basic versions of the weapons needed for each class, but they'll be enough to get you through the first few ranks.

Finding the markets

Square-Enix has managed to hide the Market Ward. With no auction house, this is your main means of shopping around for new wares and other items for sale by players through their non-playable retainers.

To get there, go to the area circled on the map and move until you see a speech bubble with an exclamation point. When you see this, it means there is something nearby with which you may interact.

Open your menu and select the Market Ward option at the top. You will be given a choice of multiple wards, select your desired ward and start shopping!

In order to see what wares a retainer has on bazaar, target one, open your menu again and where you selected the Market Ward option earlier, you will now see a "browse" option.
