In Final Fantasy: XIV, players may want to obtain the newly added Blue-Footed Booby Minion. Once players have a Minion, they will act as a small companion who follows the player around on their adventures. There are different Minions available, and each have a unique visual style and idle animations. The Blue-Footed Booby Minion is a small white bird with blue feet and a blue beak that will perch on the player's shoulder as they explore the vast world.

If players do not already have a fisherman, they will need to change their class, which also resets their level. With the level reset, players will need to grind additional levels for their Retainer before they are at a high enough level to complete the Waterside Exploration quest XXVIII.
