Recruitment is tied to your level: previews indicate that targets above your level may be unavailable to tame, while lowering a target&#8217;s HP is said to improve capture odds. Both details still await final confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beasts can reportedly be recruited from overworld zones, dungeons, trials, and alliance raids. A solo alternative may also allow players to spend Crucible currency to obtain certain duty-related beasts without capturing them directly. Recruitment is not necessarily a competition, either: multiple Beastmasters can reportedly obtain the same target from a single encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A tracking action, whose English name is still unconfirmed, helps identify recruitable targets and their level differences. Beasts are divided into eight classifications, including Undead and Cursed Tools, while certain sentient or mechanical enemies are excluded from taming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every beast you obtain is recorded in the Master&#8217;s Bestiary and can be assigned to one of three Battlehorns. Each beast provides different abilities and utility effects, so your active trio changes how you fight\u2014especially in Crucible, where matching abilities to enemy weaknesses matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\r\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/beastmaster-leveling-1.webp\" alt=\"FFXIV Beastmaster Leveling Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\r\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy FFXIV Beastmaster Leveling Boost<\/strong><\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Leave the grind to us!<\/p>\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/ffxiv\/boost\/beastmaster-leveling\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battlehorns and Beast Abilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1075\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ffxiv-beastmaster-job-guide-6.webp\" alt=\"Final Fantasy XIV Beastmaster Revealed: Battlehorns, Beast Abilities, and Crucible Solo Content\" class=\"wp-image-40343\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ffxiv-beastmaster-job-guide-6.webp 1075w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ffxiv-beastmaster-job-guide-6-780x435.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ffxiv-beastmaster-job-guide-6-768x429.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1075px) 100vw, 1075px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beastmaster assigns three beasts to <strong>separate Battlehorns<\/strong>, summoning one at a time and rotating between them as cooldowns allow.

Its tabletop-style Boards combine tactical encounters, roster management, and run-specific rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Boards and party selection:<\/strong> Assemble a roster of roughly 10\u201315 beasts and choose three per battle based on enemy weaknesses, or use the recommended lineup. Boards feature bosses, elite encounters, recovery spaces, treasure, and shops, with routes that force choices between rewards and survival.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pet survival and enmity:<\/strong> Inside Crucible, beasts have their own HP and enmity and do not automatically dodge telegraphed AoEs. Snarl directs enmity to the active beast, while Challenge draws it to the Beastmaster. Swap, dismiss, or mitigate to protect your companions, and keep a summon in reserve for dangerous mechanics. Normal field pets use a separate survivability system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Run economy and scoring:<\/strong> Board layouts are reportedly fixed, while encounters, shops, and treasure vary between runs. Beast Coins reset after each run and can be spent on survival resources or saved for a reported score bonus. The exact scoring formula remains unconfirmed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temporary loot and consumables:<\/strong> Treasure offers run-specific Beast Gear, including Ring of Sacrifice, which revives the Beastmaster by sacrificing the active beast. Temporal Sand reportedly allows a battle restart, while Beast Potions restore beast HP. Feed strengthens beasts within classification-based satiety limits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Permanent rewards:<\/strong> Job quests and Bestiary completion are said to unlock hairstyles, minions, orchestrion rolls, and glamour, with some rewards potentially tradable. Exact acquisition methods and item names remain unconfirmed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beast ranks and gear upgrades:<\/strong> Beasts can reach Rank 25, increasing their Crucible stats and unlocking an alternate appearance. Separately, artifact gear upgrades reportedly improve the Beastmaster\u2019s item level and companion stats outside Crucible. The exact upgrade-material terminology remains unresolved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Difficulty tiers and rankings:<\/strong> Previews suggest all gear upgrades can be earned on Normal difficulty, while harder Degrees or Beast Path tiers accelerate progression and add more demanding mechanics. Seasonal rankings offer a rare mount, but the precise qualification rules, scoring method, and reward details remain unconfirmed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\r\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ffxiv-endgame-raid-bundle.webp\" alt=\"FFXIV Endgame Raid Bundle\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\r\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy FFXIV Endgame Raid Bundle<\/strong><\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Leave the grind to us!<\/p>\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/ffxiv\/boost\/endgame-raid-bundle\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leveling Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>FATEs, appropriate duties, and Party Finder groups substitute for Duty Finder roulettes, which are restricted for limited jobs\u2014confirm the rules before relying on unsynced runs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recruiting for your Bestiary and completing job quests are part of the intended leveling path, not a side activity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food&#8217;s 3% EXP bonus won&#8217;t carry the grind, but it&#8217;s cheap insurance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FC Heat of Battle actions and Squadron Battle Manuals are standard boosts worth checking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crucible becomes a genuine leveling route at 30.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Existing EXP rings\/earrings have established level ranges, but Beastmaster compatibility isn&#8217;t confirmed\u2014hold off recommending a specific setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1075\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ffxiv-beastmaster-job-guide-3.webp\" alt=\"FFXIV Beastmaster Release Guide: Fight Alongside Beasts and Master Crucible of the Unbroken\" class=\"wp-image-40346\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ffxiv-beastmaster-job-guide-3.webp 1075w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ffxiv-beastmaster-job-guide-3-780x435.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ffxiv-beastmaster-job-guide-3-768x429.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1075px) 100vw, 1075px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gearing and Glamour Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UI hints point to Striking armor, Slaying accessories, and existing shields, but the final table, compatibility, and stat priorities are unconfirmed. <a href=\"https:\/\/ffxiv.gamerescape.com\/wiki\/Augmented_Ironworks_Striking_Set\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ironworks Striking<\/a>\/Slaying is a possible Level 50 option if that holds, but saving Poetics is safer until compatibility is confirmed.
