Mentor

de:Mentor
The old mentor program was discontinued as of the November 2020 update, replaced with a new Mentor Program. All Mentors lost their Mentor status and must reapply for Mentor status under the new program.
According to Square Enix:
==What is a Mentor?==
Mentors are experienced adventurers who have registered with the Adventurers' Mutual Aid Network (A.M.A.N.), a non-governmental organization founded by adventurers and merchants. These mentors help and advise new adventurers as well as any others in need of assistance throughout Vana'diel. 
The Mentor Program was created as a means for players to help one another. Mentors are regular players who offer answers and advice on gameplay to other players. They are neither representatives nor employees of Square Enix, and Square Enix holds no authority or governance over the words or actions of players designated as mentors. As such, we ask that players who seek assistance from mentors interact with them at their own discretion and risk.
It is your responsibility to decide whether to become a mentor or use the Mentor Program. You are advised that Square Enix provides mentors with no advantages or compensation of any kind. By serving as a mentor or using the Mentor Program, you are deemed to have accepted these conditions.
==Becoming a Mentor==
To register as a mentor, speak with one of the A.M.A.N. representatives in each nation. You must meet certain requirements to register.
To become a mentor, you must meet the following conditions:
- Level: 30 or above
- Play Time: 180 hours or more
*Serving as a Mentor
You can begin assisting other adventurers as soon as you have completed you mentor registration with A.M.A.N. Details on how to toggle mentor status on and off are shown below.

==Overview==
Mentors are experienced adventurers who are willing to offer some of their time to help out their less traveled companions. They have no ties to Square-Enix, and act upon their own free will, as players of the community within the game/server. With this in mind, their answers may be varied upon different mentors, may give somewhat incorrect advice and/or have in no way any more power or authority over non-mentor characters.
Mentors can be identified by the "M" icon appearing next to their names, or located by using the Mentor Search function in the Help Desk menu.
As above, to become a mentor, you must first join the Adventurers' Mutual Aid Network (A.M.A.N., for short), which requires that you have a job at level 30+ and over 180 hours of /playtime. (See Adventurers' Mutual Aid Network, for more info.)
As stated above one can become a mentor by registering with the appropriate NPC when he/she attains a level 30+ job. That does not mean you are required to become a mentor. It is highly recommended that you do not choose to become a mentor unless you have adequate knowledge and/or are willing to help other less experienced players.
Once you have joined the A.M.A.N. program, you can turn your Mentor Status on and off through the /mentor command, or by using the Help Desk menu.
