PvP content in FFXIV rewards you with a currency called Wolf Marks. This currency is used to obtain PvP gear from the PvP hub area Wolves' Den Pier, and with the return of the Garo event, Wolf Marks can now also be used to acquire the Makai gear.
Makai gear sets are mostly used as glam pieces in Final Fantasy 14, much like the standard PvP gear is. The set consists of a full five-piece gear set, and you can pick and choose the pieces you want to obtain and wear.

Click to enlargeEarning wolf marks is quite a straightforward task, though the amount you are rewarded with depends on if you win or not in the PvP content. There’s a selection of PvP content available in Final Fantasy 14 such as The Feast, a 4v4 or 8v8 battle where both teams fight against each other. There’s also Frontline, which is a much larger battlefield with players split into 3 alliances. Lastly, there is Rival Wings, FFXIV's version of a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) consisting of 24v24 players.
Each of these PvP modes rewards you with Wolf Marks even if you and your team lose, however, if you win you get bonus Wolf Marks. This currency can then be exchanged at Wolves’ Den Pier. An easy way of obtaining a constant flow of Wolf Marks is taking part in the PvP Daily Roulettes, these reward you with a decent amount of Wolf Marks just for participating daily.
Additionally, Final Fantasy 14 provides players with a weekly Challenge Log consisting of challenges for various features of the game, including PvP. For each PvP challenge that you complete, you will earn 1000 Wolf Marks. These challenges reset every week on a Tuesday.
PvP content can be unlocked once you have a job that is level 30 or higher, read out FFXIV leveling guide to learn how you can level up fast and efficiently.
