			====What is the difference between Mission and Quest?====
			Missions progress the main story in Final Fantasy XI. You will start off with your chosen Nation's main story, which can be initiated from a gate guard. Doing these will increase your Nation Rank (not to be confused with Fame/Reputation - see next question for explanation of that).

			Each expansion then comes with its own set of story missions. From level 30 you can progress with Chains of Promathia missions. And after reaching rank 6 with your nation, you will also be able to complete the Rise of the Zilart story missions.

			Quests are essentially side content, and can serve a number of uses, such as raising your fame/reputation with various factions, getting unique gear, gil, maps, or unique perks (for example, chocobo license, airship pass, etc).

			====What is the difference between Fame/Reputation and Rank?====

			Your Nation Rank indicates how far through that nation's storyline you are. Your [[Signet]] buff also lasts an extra hour for each rank you have, and [[Conquest Overseer]] npcs will require you to have a certain rank to different items.

			Fame (or Reputation as other games might call it) is a measure of how many side quests you've done for that faction. Note that each of the three nations also have a fame level, which is completely separate to your rank.

			Fame is used for a few different things. It slightly decreases the cost of items from npcs in that area, and slightly increases the amount that those npcs will give you for items you sell to them. Having higher level fame is also a prerequisite for certain quests.

			Generally, each faction will have at least one repeatable quest you can complete to easily level up your fame. Check out the [[https://horizonffxi.wiki/Reputation-guide\|Reputation Guide]] for more details on those, and also take a look at [[https://horizonffxi.wiki/Reputation#Reputation_Reporters\|Reputation Reporters]] to see how you can check what level fame you have with the different factions.

	Once you reach the city of [[Jeuno]] (most players will head here around lvl 20-ish), you can head to [[Shami]] in [[Port Jeuno]]. This is the npc who will exchange your seals for various orbs, which are used to initiate the fights. If you trade [[Shami]] your beastmen seals (and later your [[Kindred's Seal\|Kindred Seals]] which drop from level 50+ monsters) he will store them for you until you're ready to purchase an orb.
