I'll add my two cents, having leveled about 10 combat classes to 70 since Stormblood launched. As a DPS, you want to always sandwich fates/hunts/sidequests in between your dungeon queues. Your queues are long, but basically that gives you the freedom to do stuff in between. You may also have your chocobo out now while you are queued, so it is highly advisable that you have your chocobo out, as even if they aren't leveled up, they still provide you with extra damage to kill stuff faster and get the EXP faster. Next, do not forget about the Challenge Log. The Challenge is unlocked in Limsa Lominsa around level 15. It provides you with 9 challenges that give a whole mess of EXP. Not all of them are tied to stuff you will naturally do while leveling though, but again, if you are a DPS, you can sandwich them in between your queues. It's only once a week sadly, but the total bonus for the 9 challenges once you are 60+ is about 4.2 million exp total, which is essentially an entire level for the early 60s. If you are a returning player, and you unlocked Levequests prior to your hiatus, then I highly recommend using up your leves in between queues. They reward extra items, sometimes food, in addition to large chunks of EXP from monsters killed and the Leve itself being completed. They fall off into being not useful around the mid 30s, and then don't really pick up again till the 50s with the leves from Ishgard, but they are quick, essentially being personal fates that you are given a daily allotment for. If they don't seem worth it to you for combat classes, then by all means use them for crafters or gatherers, as those leves generally grant insane levels of EXP for crafters/gatherers. A simplified path that I'd recommend for combat classes from level 1 would be something like... Level 1 > fight enemies and low level fates till you unlock levequests > Use all of the allowances you have(if you have 100 they will carry you till about level 33 in roughly 5~ or so hours) > unlock(if you haven't) and do Palace of the Dead until around level 53, though if you are a DPS, I'd say level 57 > queue for normal dungeons, as a DPS multi-queue, i.e. at 57 queue for The Vault, The Aery, and Sohm Al, it will get you into a dungeon faster > at 60 queue for any of the expert level dungeons and Gubal normal > 61+ queue for the Stormblood dungeons. Do the aforementioned sandwiching, and you can literally take an alt class from level 1 to 70 in roughly 50 hours of play time, maybe a little less, maybe a little more. It varies depending on the people you get for your dungeons. I don't know anything about PVP. I've never done it for leveling, and the last time I seriously tried out PVP was for shatter with a friend. You guys are the authority on that lol. I'm still kinda scared to go into PVP, despite being on the final fights of Omega Savage. Also great vid Tham! Sorry my comments are always like this lol.
Wrong. And even if that were true, often times to do current level fates or even lower level fates, you need a chocobo's extra hand, whether it be healing or added DPS in order to win fates.
I don't really feel like this video told me much other than "This is everything you can do in FFXIV that gives exp in some way", Realistically, the best path for 60-70 is Tank/healer: Que highest dungeon, keep exp buffs up food heat of battle DPS: Palace of the dead to 60, then always be doing: Fates, side quests, Leves, Beast tribe quests, Centurio hunts while in queue for your highest dungeon. asking in your FC if a green or blue role wants to queue with you will speed it up immensely. TL;DR
Tham thank you for this, as someone returning to FF14 as a new player with the wife (long story) videos like this are a godsend. Thank you so much for the time, passion and depth.
1. Do daily duty roulette (Eat Food For exp) 2. Do Beast Tribes 3. Spam Deep Dungeon (PoTD or HoH) If above 61 do HoH Tip: While waiting for roulette do tribes or side quests if you have any.
Little note here just because I don't think I saw this anywhere (If it is then this is just a reminder), If u managed to level your Grand Company Squadrons to 40+ there is a mission that you can sent them out on that, when completed and was successful, will bring 5 EXP manuals that gives you a buff of +15% EXP gained during combat. These help A LOT and they stack with the food buff but just know that they DO NOT stack with your free company's Meat and Mead buff.
Day one: Played all the way to Heavensward content as a LOLDRG in 3 days. 3 days later, got WAR to 50. Day 7: Level 39 Summoner Somebody stop me, I'm going way too fast for my own good.
Solid list, I will just add a few things: 1)Always use chocobo for Fates/Side Quests - have it be primarily a healer. This allows any class to take on all but the toughest boss Fates. Healer Choco also makes you able to take on much higher level enemies when you do the daily hunts. 2)Challenge Log - Gives great exp for activities you are already doing. Make sure to look ahead and be on the class you want to be on when you complete the challenge to avoid wasted exp. Also make sure to give out commendations; you get a good chunk of exp for simple giving someone a thumbs up. I will add that CL is also good for crafting/gathering 3)Instanced Zones - We dont know when the instance system is going to go away. Each instance has its own set of Fates, so bouncing between the instances looking for Exp Bonus Fates is often a better way to get exp than just completing ordinary fates. 4)DoubleDip - You can be doing Fates while qued for a dungeon and doing activities that will proc your challenge log all at the same time. Bouncing between instances, entering your most lvl relevant dungeon, and giving your comms at the end of each one will rapidly level you. 5)Keep your Gear. One thing a lot of people do is throw away their old gear when they out level it...why? Many classes share the same gear, and having the most up to date gear is a huge exp boost. This is because everything dies much quicker which yields a higher exp p/hour ratio. WHen you finish leveling that SAM, turn right around and level that MNK. When you have both leveled, THEN you can turn around and convert/sell/GC trade it the armor.
F.A.T.Es scale depending on how many people are doing them, but the big monster ones are still hard to solo Also its extremely important to log out in a sanctuary.There will be crested moon next your EXP bar. Rested EXP (blue bar) gives a lot of bonus EXP.
One thing you didn't mention is that you can que up to 5 dungeons. You may not get into the best dungeon for your lvl but you can que the best 5 dungeons. Great vid.
One of them is a seperate clock, like for the world's clock (the game, not the real world, it goes by faster), and another is for the server's time (the time where the server's located). If I recall correctly, they we either in Character settings in HUD.
for leveling from 60 to 70 i do the daily roulette's (50/60, Alliance raid, trials, and leveling), in between queue times i do beast tribe quests, (kojins, anata, and any battle class ARR Tribes i may not have done ), and some Palace of the Dead. with those i typically raise a bit over a level a day. I also am sure to use food for that 3% exp boost.
Holy shit are you on Cactuar? I swear that Roegadyn at 1:48 looks just like mine, and I was definitely around trying to level my samurai with POTD for the longest time. The Fenrir pup minion is even out, and I always have that one lol
If all you do are your roulette, the daily hunts and the high level beast tribe quests, getting from 60-70 only takes about six days per class. Obviously, if you're running additional dungeons every day and grinding fates, it's much faster. But if you don't want to tax yourself and just do the dailies each evening, a week is all it'll take.
Just ran across this vid... wanted to add that the new squadron missions are really good fast exp also, where you go into a dungeon with your squad. Pretty much your squad can handle it, just kick back and give an assist.
The bonus xp for next fate is not completely random, you get it from killing a mob that randomly spawns during fates. Meaning that if it spawns & you don't kill it, you won't get the xp buff. (the monster is a sort of cristal lady)
There are two ways to get bonus xp from fates. One of them is random (the fate has the xp icon on it on the map) as described in the video. The other is the random mob that spawns randomly during some fates (I think this is only in ShB and beyond). Killing that mob will grant you extra xp on the *next* fate you complete
if u have friends ur friends can carry ur hunt grind for early 60's. Gets boring though and one can easily invest near an hour doing them all. While the exp gain is nearly abysmal (around 60k) u can still do the old heavensward beastribe and hunts despite being 60+ as well as the grand company levequests. It really helps especially when you are in your last mil to level.
To get a player up to 15 you can have someone that’s high level follow you (make sure to NOT be in party with them) while you tag/aggro mobs and they finish them off with one hitting them. Might have to res a few times but it’s really fast xp.
Thanks for this video. I'm a new player and was really stuck at lv47 since next main quest was not available until another levelup and I had completed all my sidequests too. Dungeon que is too damn long since im Bard, and though my guildies are very nice and helpful did not wanted to bother them all the time for lvlup assisst in dungeons. I'm glad you made this video atlst now I know other ways to grind my exp. That BONUS EXP fates info was really good. Cheers! :) BTW is there any video guide from you for beginners on what we can do in guild house and ways we can contribute to our guild?
First char, do mostly storyline quests and when you get to level do roulette's, as you get higher supplement with beast tribe quests. the second char start in a different zone and pick up the low level quests in there til you hit 15 then repeat on roulette's and dungeons other beast tribes, and so forth. The fastest Queues are for tank and healer so maybe run those through first. Personally i like to bring up arcanist first so after 30 when you can pretty much level the summoner and scholar at the same time, you have the benefit of fast queue times for the dungeons and a job that lets you do the quests with the help of a pet.
PotD is by far the fastest way to level up, but it's also the most painful. I can only handle it for so long at a ime before losing my mind. Typcially what I like to do, is grind the 1st level of a dungeon out (when you can initially enter it) because everything will chain, giving great EXP. Once I've leveld up and lose those chain bonus, I switch back to PotD before breaking the next dungeon tier. Beyond that, spamming FATE works well if you have a group since you can freely use EXP buffing items without worry of them expiring on you and sometimes you might get crazy lucky and the rare boss fate for an area will spawn with EXP bonus while you have twist of fate - I've personally gained over a half a level with these conditions met, which was insane before. It requires a fair amount of luck, but it's nice.
I personally run the highest lvl dungeon i can. If i do that 3-4 times its guaranteed a lvl + u get gear for your lvl wich makes it more fun. Remember to eat food for exp buff and make sure ur FC have Xp boosts on ^^. I usually get about 5 lvl per day. and that not me grinding non stop. i would 1-2 lvl an hour depending on your party.
I’m leveling 50-60 and the exp i get from dungeons is abysmal. It takes over 3 million exp points and each runs gives around 400k, which means you have to run a dungeon 8 times to gain 1 level.
Beast tribes are great too they sych to lvl with a minimum of 1.3 mil exp(lvl60). They take on average 8 minutes per area. If you reach sworn and bloodsworn exp is increased further
For DPS you can try spamming Raid que roulette. Yeah, its gets repetitive fast seems there is not as much variety as dungeon roulette, but due to the 3 tank/6 healer/15 dps split, Raid roulettes are the single roulette that does regularly offer Adventurer In Need bonus to DPS classes. Tank ques are great for dungeon roulettes, but terrible for Raid Roulettes. I tend to find tank has an easier time getting the bonus for Dungeons, healer does for Trials (but often Raids too), and DPS does for Raids.
You mentioned the bonus exp from the fate buff you can get but not how you get that buff. If you see a Maiden spawn, you need to kill her before the fate ends to get the buff. I've seen so many people ignore the Maiden because they did not know this.
I could be wrong, but I remember doing a fate in the Fringes by the River, near the Maelstrom Warrior killing some fish and a Maiden never spawned, yet everyone in my FATE party got the buff. Maybe I just didn't see it, but I remember that on release day, I was spamming FATES like mad with PF, and we would get a FATE Bonus every other fate. Now that could also be because maybe I didn't see the Maiden because the game was trying to load all the actors in at once, or maybe the spell effects covered some up, but there were many instances where a FATE Buff was just grated at first. Even then, I sometimes join in-progress FATES and would get a buff afterwards. I'm not sure if its because they killed a maiden at the time or not, but sometimes it would appear if there were multiple people in a fate. Like I said, could be due to my blindness as well that I didn't see the Maiden
The Twist of Fate buff from killing the Maiden and the "EXP Bonus" on FATEs are two different things. Twist of Fate is an exp bonus buff that applies to all players participating in the FATE when a Maiden is killed and the FATE completes successfully (even if you don't damage her yourself) and lasts until your next FATE, whereas the EXP Bonus is a standalone boost to that one FATE. These boosts both stack.
PotD is really bad for leveling beyond level 60. You get ~780k exp from floor 51-60 at level 59 while you only get ~580k at level 60. Also keep in mind that you need more exp at level 60 than level 59.
Honestly I don't find DPS queues that terrible if you just queue for 2 or 3 dungeons at a time instead of just one. Roulettes kinda suck, but dungeon spam isn't so bad a lot of the time if you don't limit your DF to one. Like at 65 as my RDM, I was queueing for Sirensong, Shisui, AND Bardam's, and only ever got queue times above 10mins like...late at night Pacific time. Like 11pm and beyond. And as another poster said, just do FATEs and Hunts while you wait if it ends up being bad. PvP leveling is really consistent, reliable, and good, but I think dungeon spam is better, even for DPS.
Mileage in PvP may vary from player to player. For me, I love spamming Frontlines when listening to a podcast, a long video, or a stream. Its a great time-killer and as someone who really likes taking on and duking it out with other players, I find my time in PvP enjoyable, although not yielding large EXP. But that's just me personally
I go off the fun factor of something I spam. Whereas I don't normally PVP I found playing PvP in Frontlines so much more fun than how it was in HW its a lot more balanced than what it was and the queue times aren't abysmal now. :D Obviously everything else is a lot more faster just depends if you can put up with it.
I dont think they nerfed it. I found out that after 4.01 patch, they add this: "Victories and losses will now award different amounts of EXP." (source:na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/33efbf65a7c6b86b3c62816b7a75523012584b54 ) For a player doing pvp a lot, the problem when pvp come out at 4.0 too much players were afk in frontline just want free exp. So this is the way SE do. if you feel the exp nerfed it may depends on 1. the level right now 2. the team you join in this match.
u miss weekly challenge log, SB increase the exp for those by a lot, especially the 3 roulette, 5 dungy, 5 fate different area, 10 fate, etc. And there is the leve challenge log which u can just do those level 10 leve to complete u also missed HW beast tribe too, those actually give quite a lot, esp when u still level 60 to 65
Everyone falls asleep during PoTD Its fun to do it first time, all runs after is a snooze fest or my mentality "Lets grab a chest and hope its a mimic, mimics are fun"
DD is the worst place to lv after 60 it alsways give for about 350K exp after like 12-15 minutes. The fastest way is to get 3 ppl who also have to lvl up to 70 and rush dungeons with them.
Doing side quests is literally the worst way to 'farm' exp. Every single Stormblood FATE gives more exp and takes way less time to complete than any given sidequest.
How to lvl up 70 fast? -Buy the 21€ Jump up to lvl up 60 -Afk in pvp until lvl 70 GG, you're a lvl 70 that has no Idea what to do with your class (Thumbs up to the ton of PLDs who just spam Halone wrath in lvl 60-70 Dung)
11 mins for such a simple question? Dude. Just run dungeons as you've most likely been doing since lvl 30. If your lvl 50-60 just do Palace of the Dead. Its not all that complicated. And btw, not many players even do Fates so your better off running dungeons, especially duty roulettes.
I love my dark knight he is lvl 62 my highest so far and tanking is easy 😊I've done it since wow first started and I'll keep doing it through ff14 but good video btw
Joshua Sullivan I main a dark but have a few non tank fav classes as well. Ultimately trying to get everything to 70 so I can load up an pick whatever an be set for any situation. Tanks don't get enough love imo
i think you forgot about Weekly challenges Log give Alot of EXP by completing dungeons and commendations others Players or Guildhest, Levels ..etc always think its free 1 Lv and half or maybe more for 1 Job weekly i have all my DoL and DoH Lv70 and 10/15 Jobs Lv70
DPS have longer Queues hardly anyone is playing the Classes that have responsibilities behind them, I get it healing / tanking is intimidating, but you're the only one to blame for your queues you picked the role that everyone wants to play.
Acctualy casters have Apocatastasis and Addle to help tanks life threw Magical Tank Buster , Mana Shift allowd me to save healers countless times , sure on the surface dps classes just seem like "dps" but i dont realy see tanks or healers do all ther combos WHILE doging attacks Positioning arround the battelfiled and doing Mechanics while still doing ther rotations correctly , to Simply DPS is easy ... to do it correctly however and get every inch of efficency out of your rotation while still casting that 3 rezes on your dead healer offtank and a fellow dps without losing all your mana or any dps on the other hand is way more stressfull then healing if you ask me (i playd a healer befor switcht to a Redmage in stormblood) and i love it
Jade Merrydown lol if it was that easy everyone would do it properly. Even with the dumbed down version of rotations and no reason to cross class anything the majority of ffx1v dps are sub mediocre at best
![[FFXIV] Level up Fast and Efficiently with any Combat Job!](/img/n.gif)
I'll add my two cents, having leveled about 10 combat classes to 70 since Stormblood launched. As a DPS, you want to always sandwich fates/hunts/sidequests in between your dungeon queues. Your queues are long, but basically that gives you the freedom to do stuff in between.

Do the aforementioned sandwiching, and you can literally take an alt class from level 1 to 70 in roughly 50 hours of play time, maybe a little less, maybe a little more. It varies depending on the people you get for your dungeons.
I don't know anything about PVP. I've never done it for leveling, and the last time I seriously tried out PVP was for shatter with a friend. You guys are the authority on that lol. I'm still kinda scared to go into PVP, despite being on the final fights of Omega Savage.
Also great vid Tham! Sorry my comments are always like this lol.
Wonderful comment as always! Pinned!
But chocobo's make you get less exp
Wrong. And even if that were true, often times to do current level fates or even lower level fates, you need a chocobo's extra hand, whether it be healing or added DPS in order to win fates.
It actually used to be true, back in earlier ARR, but only for kill exp, it never affected your fate reward. It's been changed for a long time now.
SirVyre l0
I don't really feel like this video told me much other than "This is everything you can do in FFXIV that gives exp in some way", Realistically, the best path for 60-70 is
Tank/healer: Que highest dungeon, keep exp buffs up food heat of battle
DPS: Palace of the dead to 60, then always be doing: Fates, side quests, Leves, Beast tribe quests, Centurio hunts while in queue for your highest dungeon. asking in your FC if a green or blue role wants to queue with you will speed it up immensely. TL;DR
Tham thank you for this, as someone returning to FF14 as a new player with the wife (long story) videos like this are a godsend. Thank you so much for the time, passion and depth.
1. Do daily duty roulette (Eat Food For exp)
2. Do Beast Tribes
3. Spam Deep Dungeon (PoTD or HoH) If above 61 do HoH
Tip: While waiting for roulette do tribes or side quests if you have any.
Little note here just because I don't think I saw this anywhere (If it is then this is just a reminder), If u managed to level your Grand Company Squadrons to 40+ there is a mission that you can sent them out on that, when completed and was successful, will bring 5 EXP manuals that gives you a buff of +15% EXP gained during combat. These help A LOT and they stack with the food buff but just know that they DO NOT stack with your free company's Meat and Mead buff.
Day one: Played all the way to Heavensward content as a LOLDRG in 3 days.
3 days later, got WAR to 50.
Day 7: Level 39 Summoner
Somebody stop me, I'm going way too fast for my own good.
Solid list, I will just add a few things:
1)Always use chocobo for Fates/Side Quests - have it be primarily a healer. This allows any class to take on all but the toughest boss Fates. Healer Choco also makes you able to take on much higher level enemies when you do the daily hunts.
2)Challenge Log - Gives great exp for activities you are already doing. Make sure to look ahead and be on the class you want to be on when you complete the challenge to avoid wasted exp.

3)Instanced Zones - We dont know when the instance system is going to go away. Each instance has its own set of Fates, so bouncing between the instances looking for Exp Bonus Fates is often a better way to get exp than just completing ordinary fates.
4)DoubleDip - You can be doing Fates while qued for a dungeon and doing activities that will proc your challenge log all at the same time. Bouncing between instances, entering your most lvl relevant dungeon, and giving your comms at the end of each one will rapidly level you.
5)Keep your Gear. One thing a lot of people do is throw away their old gear when they out level it...why? Many classes share the same gear, and having the most up to date gear is a huge exp boost. This is because everything dies much quicker which yields a higher exp p/hour ratio. WHen you finish leveling that SAM, turn right around and level that MNK. When you have both leveled, THEN you can turn around and convert/sell/GC trade it the armor.
So basically keep doing the same shit that we always been doing since 2.0. Gotcha
F.A.T.Es scale depending on how many people are doing them, but the big monster ones are still hard to solo
Also its extremely important to log out in a sanctuary.There will be crested moon next your EXP bar. Rested EXP (blue bar) gives a lot of bonus EXP.
Good point about the sanctuaries!
Awesome vid man, I tend to craft while I wait for queues :P
I need to pick up gathering again and gather in-between O.O
And without fail, a que will pop right when youve begun an important craft.
One thing you didn't mention is that you can que up to 5 dungeons. You may not get into the best dungeon for your lvl but you can que the best 5 dungeons.
Great vid.
nice vid alot of good info.
Quick question how did you get 2 clocks up in the topr ight corner??
One of them is a seperate clock, like for the world's clock (the game, not the real world, it goes by faster), and another is for the server's time (the time where the server's located).
If I recall correctly, they we either in Character settings in HUD.
for leveling from 60 to 70 i do the daily roulette's (50/60, Alliance raid, trials, and leveling), in between queue times i do beast tribe quests, (kojins, anata, and any battle class ARR Tribes i may not have done ), and some Palace of the Dead. with those i typically raise a bit over a level a day. I also am sure to use food for that 3% exp boost.
Also make sure you have all 4 languages when in que for dungeons and in progress.
Psycho Mikey No need anymore, the queues had an update where all players automatically going in the queue. By all I mean worldwide
Khanh Tran cool
Psycho Mikey Why would I want a moldy baguette in my already abysmal randumbs?
I always took french out xD just had problems with french speaking ppl :/
Kohii2Go lol ! I speak french and got no problem with anyone :)
Holy shit are you on Cactuar? I swear that Roegadyn at 1:48 looks just like mine, and I was definitely around trying to level my samurai with POTD for the longest time. The Fenrir pup minion is even out, and I always have that one lol
If all you do are your roulette, the daily hunts and the high level beast tribe quests, getting from 60-70 only takes about six days per class. Obviously, if you're running additional dungeons every day and grinding fates, it's much faster. But if you don't want to tax yourself and just do the dailies each evening, a week is all it'll take.
I got lucky with having a couple of people who are lvling with me so as a DPS my que times are not so bad since they will usually be a healer or tank

The other is the random mob that spawns randomly during some fates (I think this is only in ShB and beyond). Killing that mob will grant you extra xp on the *next* fate you complete
All I have been doing is palace, it's best to do palace either In a group or in a group call or something just someone to talk to
Yeah, Palace is definitely more fun with friends or FC members
if u have friends ur friends can carry ur hunt grind for early 60's. Gets boring though and one can easily invest near an hour doing them all.
While the exp gain is nearly abysmal (around 60k) u can still do the old heavensward beastribe and hunts despite being 60+ as well as the grand company levequests. It really helps especially when you are in your last mil to level.
To get a player up to 15 you can have someone that’s high level follow you (make sure to NOT be in party with them) while you tag/aggro mobs and they finish them off with one hitting them. Might have to res a few times but it’s really fast xp.
Theres also the challange log which when the reset hits on a tuesday it is the best way to give you that boost for the week
Challenge log completions are also good xp boosts and you'll get a bunch of them while doing roullettes and dungeons during the week.
Join a FC and ask guild members to put exp buffs also. It helps.
I just spam dungeons and dailys lol
As a tank/healer, dungeon spam is an easy track to 70 for certain!
yep same
I've gotten great use out of the Challenge Log for experience.
Thanks for this video. I'm a new player and was really stuck at lv47 since next main quest was not available until another levelup and I had completed all my sidequests too. Dungeon que is too damn long since im Bard, and though my guildies are very nice and helpful did not wanted to bother them all the time for lvlup assisst in dungeons. I'm glad you made this video atlst now I know other ways to grind my exp. That BONUS EXP fates info was really good. Cheers! :)
BTW is there any video guide from you for beginners on what we can do in guild house and ways we can contribute to our guild?
With current buff for new players/server you can just follow msq and hit 70, saving all the subs for alt.
First char, do mostly storyline quests and when you get to level do roulette's, as you get higher supplement with beast tribe quests. the second char start in a different zone and pick up the low level quests in there til you hit 15 then repeat on roulette's and dungeons other beast tribes, and so forth. The fastest Queues are for tank and healer so maybe run those through first. Personally i like to bring up arcanist first so after 30 when you can pretty much level the summoner and scholar at the same time, you have the benefit of fast queue times for the dungeons and a job that lets you do the quests with the help of a pet.
PotD is by far the fastest way to level up, but it's also the most painful. I can only handle it for so long at a ime before losing my mind. Typcially what I like to do, is grind the 1st level of a dungeon out (when you can initially enter it) because everything will chain, giving great EXP. Once I've leveld up and lose those chain bonus, I switch back to PotD before breaking the next dungeon tier. Beyond that, spamming FATE works well if you have a group since you can freely use EXP buffing items without worry of them expiring on you and sometimes you might get crazy lucky and the rare boss fate for an area will spawn with EXP bonus while you have twist of fate - I've personally gained over a half a level with these conditions met, which was insane before. It requires a fair amount of luck, but it's nice.
Another thing you can do, is having your squadron up to 50 and do the weekly bonus for the 15% bonus EXP for 2 hours. Which is nice :3
I personally run the highest lvl dungeon i can. If i do that 3-4 times its guaranteed a lvl + u get gear for your lvl wich makes it more fun. Remember to eat food for exp buff and make sure ur FC have Xp boosts on ^^. I usually get about 5 lvl per day. and that not me grinding non stop. i would 1-2 lvl an hour depending on your party.
If you're on Goblin and looking to farm FATES, go to the Fringes.
Lots of parties running around doing them there lately.
I’m leveling 50-60 and the exp i get from dungeons is abysmal. It takes over 3 million exp points and each runs gives around 400k, which means you have to run a dungeon 8 times to gain 1 level.
I know, it's an older video but what about HoH?
Don't forget the challenge log! Tons of weekly experience.
Beast tribes are great too they sych to lvl with a minimum of 1.3 mil exp(lvl60). They take on average 8 minutes per area. If you reach sworn and bloodsworn exp is increased further
Also if doing dungeons heat of the battle is important. This is important for potd too.
You forgot to mention about Squadron Battle Manual which gives 15% boost for 2 hours. It's from squadrons in grand company. It seriously helps.
IIRC, it doesn't stack with any FC buffs.
that's good only IF your FC is too cheap/lazy to have heat of battle 3 up.
For DPS you can try spamming Raid que roulette. Yeah, its gets repetitive fast seems there is not as much variety as dungeon roulette, but due to the 3 tank/6 healer/15 dps split, Raid roulettes are the single roulette that does regularly offer Adventurer In Need bonus to DPS classes. Tank ques are great for dungeon roulettes, but terrible for Raid Roulettes.
I tend to find tank has an easier time getting the bonus for Dungeons, healer does for Trials (but often Raids too), and DPS does for Raids.
You mentioned the bonus exp from the fate buff you can get but not how you get that buff. If you see a Maiden spawn, you need to kill her before the fate ends to get the buff. I've seen so many people ignore the Maiden because they did not know this.
I could be wrong, but I remember doing a fate in the Fringes by the River, near the Maelstrom Warrior killing some fish and a Maiden never spawned, yet everyone in my FATE party got the buff. Maybe I just didn't see it, but I remember that on release day, I was spamming FATES like mad with PF, and we would get a FATE Bonus every other fate.
Now that could also be because maybe I didn't see the Maiden because the game was trying to load all the actors in at once, or maybe the spell effects covered some up, but there were many instances where a FATE Buff was just grated at first. Even then, I sometimes join in-progress FATES and would get a buff afterwards. I'm not sure if its because they killed a maiden at the time or not, but sometimes it would appear if there were multiple people in a fate.
Like I said, could be due to my blindness as well that I didn't see the Maiden
The Twist of Fate buff from killing the Maiden and the "EXP Bonus" on FATEs are two different things. Twist of Fate is an exp bonus buff that applies to all players participating in the FATE when a Maiden is killed and the FATE completes successfully (even if you don't damage her yourself) and lasts until your next FATE, whereas the EXP Bonus is a standalone boost to that one FATE. These boosts both stack.
Basically it sums up to "do stuff you are already doing".... I didn't need to waste time having somebody telling me that
How u can put the class on the right to switch between them like what u have?
PotD is really bad for leveling beyond level 60. You get ~780k exp from floor 51-60 at level 59 while you only get ~580k at level 60. Also keep in mind that you need more exp at level 60 than level 59.
You forgot to mention the challenge logs. Doing a certain activities multiple times yields adttional exp.
Honestly I don't find DPS queues that terrible if you just queue for 2 or 3 dungeons at a time instead of just one. Roulettes kinda suck, but dungeon spam isn't so bad a lot of the time if you don't limit your DF to one. Like at 65 as my RDM, I was queueing for Sirensong, Shisui, AND Bardam's, and only ever got queue times above 10mins like...late at night Pacific time. Like 11pm and beyond. And as another poster said, just do FATEs and Hunts while you wait if it ends up being bad. PvP leveling is really consistent, reliable, and good, but I think dungeon spam is better, even for DPS.
Party finder. Grind dungeon for current level.
And add hunts/Kojin quests in between the queue times.
Love these videos.
How do you level? Play the game.
Thanks for the info!
your level is no longer synced ?! what is going on can you tell me!!
I'm level 60
I always do frontline to level up is there another way to go from 66-70 in our recent patch 4.1?
How do you get your classes bar like that
Thamriyell !!! Where do you get that hairstyle on your character??
What's those icons at the upper right of the screen?
I personally focus on roulette and do quest while I wait to get a group =)
que times is why i play healer, dps is fun but unless you have a premade group random ques are sooo long.
People should also push to have alliance roulette unlocked since gives alot of exp if not the most
Why am I stuck at level 60? I keep playing but my level won't go up. What am I doing wrong?
Scott James Have you purchased the Stormblood expansion?
So wait, i DONT have to grind monster kills from 1-70?! i have been playing so wrong all along
Well for dungeons you could do a pf group for exp grinding
But they nerfted the EXP from PVP though ;(
Still best way to level dps by far. And they mostly adjusted xp for losing so the "lets lose quick" mentally gets lost.
hardly lol dungeon queue while fates is by far the fastest exp per hour
Mileage in PvP may vary from player to player. For me, I love spamming Frontlines when listening to a podcast, a long video, or a stream. Its a great time-killer and as someone who really likes taking on and duking it out with other players, I find my time in PvP enjoyable, although not yielding large EXP. But that's just me personally
I go off the fun factor of something I spam. Whereas I don't normally PVP I found playing PvP in Frontlines so much more fun than how it was in HW its a lot more balanced than what it was and the queue times aren't abysmal now. :D Obviously everything else is a lot more faster just depends if you can put up with it.
I dont think they nerfed it. I found out that after 4.01 patch, they add this: "Victories and losses will now award different amounts of EXP."
(source:na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/33efbf65a7c6b86b3c62816b7a75523012584b54 )
For a player doing pvp a lot, the problem when pvp come out at 4.0 too much players were afk in frontline just want free exp.
So this is the way SE do. if you feel the exp nerfed it may depends on
1. the level right now
2. the team you join in this match.
u miss weekly challenge log, SB increase the exp for those by a lot, especially the 3 roulette, 5 dungy, 5 fate different area, 10 fate, etc. And there is the leve challenge log which u can just do those level 10 leve to complete
u also missed HW beast tribe too, those actually give quite a lot, esp when u still level 60 to 65
In that linkshell. I see an RP player that starts with Z. Just with that minor information i know that character is a lala and that you are on exodus.
Which server you on?
Beast tribes not mentioned l, great exp
PotD at lv60 is better in EXP than losing in PvP, however, if you win PvP, it is better than PotD.
Glad I'm not the only one falling asleep from PotDs.
Everyone falls asleep during PoTD
Its fun to do it first time, all runs after is a snooze fest or my mentality
"Lets grab a chest and hope its a mimic, mimics are fun"
Frontline is best for DPS. faster queue times.
DD is the worst place to lv after 60 it alsways give for about 350K exp after like 12-15 minutes. The fastest way is to get 3 ppl who also have to lvl up to 70 and rush dungeons with them.
Things kinda slowed for me down since the massive MSQ roulette nerf.
Grand company command mission is pretty decent for DPS leveling.
Doing side quests is literally the worst way to 'farm' exp. Every single Stormblood FATE gives more exp and takes way less time to complete than any given sidequest.
Its a good way to get EXP on the side when looking for a fate to do which can be completed in time. Yeah its another snooze fest, but EXP is EXP
wait wait wait wait!
You want to tell me that you lvl-up your class-level if you do pvp?! O_o
How to lvl up 70 fast?
-Buy the 21€ Jump up to lvl up 60
-Afk in pvp until lvl 70
GG, you're a lvl 70 that has no Idea what to do with your class (Thumbs up to the ton of PLDs who just spam Halone wrath in lvl 60-70 Dung)
Doesn't PoTD gives tombstones ?
Is this Dalaran?
"FATEs are probably just the easiest way to spam FATEs" You don't say
61-70, just do Heaven on High, the Stormblood version of PotD, much better alternative at the moment.
run dailies and highest dungeon available to you, thats it
11 mins for such a simple question? Dude. Just run dungeons as you've most likely been doing since lvl 30. If your lvl 50-60 just do Palace of the Dead. Its not all that complicated. And btw, not many players even do Fates so your better off running dungeons, especially duty roulettes.
The Challenge Log! Forgot to mention that weekly! 😁
Dalaran is that you?
Thanks Dalaran!
I WISH you could grind mobs like we did in FFXI with a party. 😭
All these people crying tank, healer, dps. They're all important roles, so quiet down, and watch the game video.
I love my dark knight he is lvl 62 my highest so far and tanking is easy 😊I've done it since wow first started and I'll keep doing it through ff14 but good video btw
20 mins, feels bad man lmao thats why Im a tank
Joshua Sullivan I main a dark but have a few non tank fav classes as well. Ultimately trying to get everything to 70 so I can load up an pick whatever an be set for any situation. Tanks don't get enough love imo
Hate dungeon queuing, (obv dps is obvious) guess I'll grind fates, this is fine ..
And how to make ur inventory big like 1 or 2 tab?
I subscribed :)
i think you forgot about Weekly challenges Log give Alot of EXP by completing dungeons and commendations others Players or Guildhest, Levels ..etc always think its free 1 Lv and half or maybe more for 1 Job weekly i have all my DoL and DoH Lv70 and 10/15 Jobs Lv70
Urm, is this guy dalaran gaming...? :O
How to get to 70 fast. *Pulls out wallet and buys a boost*
(Don’t actually do this, I only joke.)
You should script your videos better, i couldn't understand what you were trying to say about pvp
this didn't help at all, best advice ive seen was use dungeons for odd lvls and use rullets for evens.
Soooo do content? And you get xp. Got it.
ummmm, easy, do dungeons, the only hard part is hitting 61.
"Bully-a-base"
DPS have longer Queues hardly anyone is playing the Classes that have responsibilities behind them, I get it healing / tanking is intimidating, but you're the only one to blame for your queues you picked the role that everyone wants to play.
I mean, its also a great incentive to pick up taking/healing for the Materia VI Crystals!
DPS acctualy do have some heavy responsibilities behind them , they are the ones what save the group from Hard Enrage´s
Uwawa you mean they only have one job, do dps
Acctualy casters have Apocatastasis and Addle to help tanks life threw Magical Tank Buster , Mana Shift allowd me to save healers countless times , sure on the surface dps classes just seem like "dps" but i dont realy see tanks or healers do all ther combos WHILE doging attacks Positioning arround the battelfiled and doing Mechanics while still doing ther rotations correctly , to Simply DPS is easy ... to do it correctly however and get every inch of efficency out of your rotation while still casting that 3 rezes on your dead healer offtank and a fellow dps without losing all your mana or any dps on the other hand is way more stressfull then healing if you ask me (i playd a healer befor switcht to a Redmage in stormblood) and i love it
Jade Merrydown lol if it was that easy everyone would do it properly. Even with the dumbed down version of rotations and no reason to cross class anything the majority of ffx1v dps are sub mediocre at best
