Zep: "that I can turn in for the Purple Scrips -- " Me: "Okay, probably working on upgrading to endgame scrip gear, or selling/stockpiling mats" Zep: " -- so I can get a really cute outfit, so I can look like a forest gnome . . . bunny." . . . never change, Zepla. lol
Honestly, true endgame crafting/gathering gear isn’t available yet. So the best gear right now for crafters and gatherers really is the class-specific stuff you can get for scrips.
@@powerofk How'd you figure that out? Overmelding the lvl90 AR-Cean crafted gear for gathering and crafting far suppasses the stats of full purple scrip.
@@lazareth7598 Nothing for 23 hours. She was still wrapped up in trying to get her pets evacuated with her. I told her she needs to get out now (21 hours ago), but that likely fell on deaf ears. We love her for who she is, and I hope for the best.
So does wow except on wow Yu can pvp open n world pvp do rated ranked brackets there's definitely way more major city's then ff14 where people can hang out but ff14 Andy's will say catgirla beat everything fuqing weebs
@@masterpain7742 let the casuals play FFXIV and roleplay as cat girl and yes game is boring pvp is trash only savage optimization and ultimate are fun the rest you just run around with your mount doing nothing
@@Reinforce_Zwei I turn in basically everything I can for now. I'm also not saying I farm poetics to do this, I just exchange what I get, which can be 1-3k depending on what I do that day. The rings are worth almost 1800 seals.
The best method I've found is to run Sirensong Sea solo. It takes about 8 mins per run at level 90, depending on what job you use, and the gear from 1 run will earn you around 15000 seals.
Took me a month of regular attempts at P3S to finally clear it. Absolutely murdered any motivation to even attempt P4S. I'm mostly just doing dailies on XIV these days. Lol. Good luck, man.
I've been playing for 2 years and had msq the entire time until i caught up and finished EW, so I'm finally for the first time experiencing endgame and I'm all over the place in what I do because I have SO MUCH that still needs to get done. I mostly have been focusing on unlocking any duties I missed from past expansions. I've also been focusing on getting my level 90 equipment lately and doing roulettes for that. I really want to do a lot of the extremes since I haven't done many of them yet. I'm itching for some harder content but haven't been able to get around to them yet.
Super interesting! I started playing FFXIV in trial mode recently. Getting close to level 30 as a marauder. It's impressive how much stuff is in the game. Most of this sounded like a foreign language, but very cool, heh. Nice video. :)
Honestly going into this video I thought to myself, “well this is where I learn the difference between a successful player and me” and no kidding, we sound so similar with what we do in game! I was actually more relieved than I thought I would be.
To be fair, you can solo FATE farm on any job with a healer-spec choco, it's certainly not WAR exclusive. PLD also excels at this given the massive amounts of self-healing we also get. Of course, sub-70, the master FATE soloer is BLU.
The melee role quests were my favorite! Really didn't expect those guys to come back and I'm glad they did! Got some closure for them and their commander, also Merlwyb is best Grand Company leader in Eorzea. Still miss her ARR voice
Speaking of missing the ARR voices, the original VA for Raubahn, JC Miller, is also the singer for the Shadowbringers theme as well as Close the Distance, the song which plays area 6 of Endwalker. Real multi-talented guy.
The amount of extra little things I saw that you could do in FFxiv from just watching this 14min vid is honestly blowing my mind. Zepla was going into menus I never even knew existed lmao .
I'm pretty new, but another thing I do on a daily basis is buy the GC turn ins for gathering classes just to passively level them. I also get my daily map allowance, and I also do the centurio Lv. 3 hunts in both Ishgard and Kugane every day because I'm farming for the wyvern mount. On top of this I'm doing ARR beast tribe quests, bc like I said I'm new, and of course most of my roulettes (PVP including, frontline is actually a blast). Edit: also I go to gold saucer and get my daily scratch offs :) My GC is flames, so basically I do retainer, squadron, GC turn in, MGP scratch offs first thing when I log in, takes like 5 mins for all that and then I move in to beast tribe and hunts.
@@yScribblezHD Try joining a hunt linkshell. I don't even think to touch the hunt bill boards, because I have gotten every centurion seal mount, barding, emote, and minion within about a month just jumping on stormblood zone hunt trains and any S ranks. They aren't as common as they were before ew launch but I'm sure you can still find groups scouting them. Also S ranks in ARR, HW, and SB zones all give centurion seals and all hunt linkshells are doing callouts for those. I've also made 100 million Gil since EW release just doing EW zone hunt trains, collecting the bags of nuts and anthro clusters, trading them all for X materia, then selling those on the mb.
@@HorusDeathtouch Yeah I was doing hunt trains for Shb and EW when I finish, but the centurio trains are a lot more sparse (on the discord servers I'm in). Ive been desperately trying to find a linkshell :P
I heard about you on the news. As a fellow warrior of light, I am very worried about you. I hope that you will be able to return to your normal peaceful life. And I hope that you will be able to spend your time in Eorzea with a smile on your face.
I tend to be an unfocused headless chicken when I play sometimes, haha. I have so many things that I want to do that I get distracted and end up doing a little bit of a bunch of things. Lately though, I've been having a ton of fun going back through side quests on my WAR since I don't want to do dungeons to level it. I mix in things like Frontline and wonderous tales for exp, and some solo FATEs (which is helping with my Bozja weapon too), but I'm having a blast doing it with my trusty chocobo!
During the week, I only have two hours at most a day, so I concentrate on stuff I can do solo: 1. Retainer management (check what they did while I was away, update what i sell, send them on one hour quests) 2. Squadron. Just check the result of yesterday and send them to work again for 18 hours. 3. Tribal quests. Both to unlock mounts and level some jobs so I try to do the quests with a job at a matching level. Or at least to finish the quest with a job with a matching level. Doing Kobold quests with a Paladin drove me nuts. 4. Usually the retainers are back at this point, so I go back managing them. 5. Level a job efficiently (compared to doing beast tribes) or do some special deliveries. Unless there is some kind of seasonal event you need to grind, in which case I would usually do it at that point. Presently, I usually level my leatherworker class as I don't have a level 90 doh yet. 6. Prepare to go to bed by sending the retainers who just came back on an 18 hours mission. On the weekend, no real plan. Today, I started leveling a Conjurer because I did not have a healer job yet and I did not feel like running dungeons.
The Healer role quest is fantastic, gives a lot of closure to a story that really needed it. Working on leveling DNC so I can do the ranged DPS quest because I've heard good things about it
As a player that started back on the 1.0 launch but has really fallen off the last couple of expansion, your enthusiasm is infectious and has got me hyped to try and get back into FFXIV again!
top tip. use a market board searcher, search across your servers, and if its cheaper i always hop world and buy it from there. sometimes i hop world, clear out the cheap server and relist it locally for profit
I do a lot of these things as well in my daily routine. Lately I also try to grab 1 group-of-eight treasure map every day, just like my friends, and then we meet up once a week to find the treasures and do the portal dungeons. It's great to get some rare materials and it's also just fun^-^
This is the second video I've ever watched of Zepla's and her charisma is just so easy to see. I love her voice and listening to her speak, she's very eloquent and articulate, and I also find that we share alot of similarities! I too like to keep my inventory tidy, I'm mostly a one-game andy with FF, among other things :D It just makes me really happy that I now have a female streamer/content creator I can look forward to watching. Glad I found you Zepla!
Fates are 14k per fate if the vouchers are selling for 100k on your server. You need 100 gemstones for a 100k voucher, which means each gemstone is worth 1,000 gil. And if a fate give you 14 stones, that's 14k. Get into a fate party and next thing you know, you've made a million gil in a few hours. Solo maps are another fun side hobby.
My daily routine is: retainers > queue for leveling roulette > Pixies > other beast tribes I haven't completed (Vanu and Vath, at the moment) > expert roulette. After that, working on Wondrous Tales, one of my alts, or some other chunk of content - postmoogle, Hildebrand, relics, etc.
Thought I was the only one, i finally finished all ShB side quests, and I do 5 lvls for each class till i hit max. Currently going to 80 with 4 classes to go.
- Log in - Do daily roulettes for tomestones - Do any normal fights I haven’t done yet - Stare at my job menu to decided which Alt job to level to 90 - Run a leveling roulette and maybe some dungeons. - Maybe farm glam. - Get bored and log out Of course there’s also savage prog but that’s once a week and almost done. I hope they add more for me to do later in the expansion. I really like this game and want to spend more time playing it, but since both my main and secondary job are maxed out on gear I feel like there’s nothing worth doing. I don’t need Gil, I’m not interested in more mounts, and I don’t want to do crafting and gathering stuff. I want something else to do that advances my power, something that feels worth it. Yeah it might make the game more grindy like other MMOs but I think that’s ok tbh. I just want to play the game more but not feel like I’m wasting my time. Hoping Unreal Trails and the reworked PvP system helps.
It's understandable that you want to keep playing the game and finding more things you enjoy and want to do in the game. But at the same time, realize the game respects your time. It's completely valid to unsub until new content comes out that you're interested in. Forcing yourself to login in the hopes of finding something you like leads to burnout.
@@LevaniaMeyano I keep hearing that but I disagree. Respecting my time would be not forcing me to play to feel optimal but at the same time giving me an incentive to log in so that I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time when I do
@@James-kv3ll Well, this is what I'll tell you right now. If nothing in the game as it is interests you enough and you feel like you're wasting your time. Then that's not going to change with future patches. FFXIV is very consistent and predictable with their patches and content. New savages. New alliances. New dungeons. New extremes. New deep dungeon and/or bozja/eureka type content on a very predictable patch cycle. Occasionally they'll introduce something new, like the upcoming island sanctuary or Blue Mage. The only incentive that you need to play the game is wanting to do something in the game. Not the game itself telling you should play the game.
Right now, my daily routine is running the same dungeon over and over to get all my jobs leveled through my grand company squad...I lost count on how many Stone Vigil and Aurum Vale I have run in the last couple of days....
@@JDxxxxxx Undoubtedly. Especially if you have like 5 or 6 dps classes to level up...15 minutes at least of waiting time for 1 lvl/dungeons (roughly) for 6 classes up to lvl 60 that's roughly 90 hours spend just waiting for queues to pop...
In reference to your pixie beast tribe segment, my friend discovered that if you do Frontline roulette, you can switch jobs once you're in and it will give you MSQ levels of experience in the job you originally queued as.
For me, Triple Triad and now Mahjong have really been motivators. Also thanks for detailing about the menus and other neat things - there's probably video content in just some of the topics you talked about unless I missed them.
I've loved Triple Triad since I picked it up, and love keeping up with it, but mahjong, man. I had to watch multiple how-to videos on UA-cam and I think I could _maybe_ beat the moogle at this point lol. But I do want to practice and get better.
My daily routine is different depends on the day of the week, where Tuesday is most important xD but let me just say, that in last week, I manage to get more than 100 orchestrion scrolls to my collections, and I still have a big list of those I don't have. And while having more than 2500 hours in game, there's still sooooo many things I never did/tried and so many plans to do, crazy! :)
I work from home so logging into FFXIV is part of my daily login routine. When work is busy I'm usually hanging out near a retainer bell, selling things, crafting things, setting ventures. If I'm not at a bell, I'm out gathering between work calls. When work dies down I might run some Trust dungeons or do some low key farms in party finder. After work is when I'll see how I feel about roulettes that day, do what I feel like and go from there. The struggle of getting my inventory under control is real. I don't like getting rid of anything because the second I do, I'll need it. I'm currently working on all of the en mass crafting achievements so I can finally clear out all of the older mats I won't otherwise need anymore. Thank you for reminding me about beast tribe quests! I had maxed out their stories forever ago but now that I have classes to level again I'll have to go visit the pixies ^.^
The lootbox only provides unbound stuff, so mounts are very rare, because there are simply more minions than mounts, and the lootbox do not prevent you from getting something you already own.
I think it's neat you didn't like the melee role quests but liked the ranged ones, because I had the complete opposite feel with them! I'm still leveling tank and healer but out of the other three I've liked them as caster>melee>range phys. The rest of your routine is very similar to what I do! Hope you continue to do well both in game and out
I don't do Twitter but me and my wife are praying for you and all the others in Ukraine atm. We've been playing for years and have always used your videos for help and guidance. Thank you so much for everything you've done and keep standing strong. You've built up an amazing community and contributed greatly to keeping FFXIV a healthy and fun place. You got this! We all believe in you ❤️
What I started doing with poetics is buying Crystarium rings (Cryptlurker), which I then turn into the Grand company VIA expert deliveries for 1800 GCS a piece. Then I buy the new lootboxes with them. I buy the rings as they are the only ones not unique and you can carry a ton of them.
Honestly this video appealed to me because I joined FF14 right at Endwalker. That means I got a wealth of content and stuff to go through. This also means my friend group tries to show me some of the side content while also trying not to overwhelm me. As I complete some of the side stuff and make pretty good progress on main story; I was curious what a "normal" day-to-day might be for players who are near the end of content. This video lets me know what I have to look forward to and what to consider once I reached that point for my normal day-to-day post main game content.
Same. I started playing last May and have felt like it's been a whirlwind. While I've been having a lot of fun, it can defintiely be overwhelming to see how much there is to do. It's nice to see that my days are pretty close to Zepla's besides some of the content being older.
This was really helpful (: I've been wanting to find more things to do after beating endwalker, so this was PERFECT to give me more activities to enjoy the MMO I love
I really enjoy your videos as they are made for all sorts of players, but with an amazing focus on new and "casual" players with the intention to improve their gameplay experience. I would say that I am kind of an HC-raider, clearing all the past savages , I was playing FFXIV in week 1 plus all Ultimates. But still, I really enjoy your calm and joyful way of explaining ffxiv-related topics. Maybe I will have the opportunity to do some savage or ex-trials with you in the future. :) Keep on making such great videos and amazing streams. greets from Germany!
As a sprout who just started last November, but has 600 hours and currently on the main quest actually called "Stormblood", I start my routine by making sure my inventory is sorted and confirming my 2 retainers ventures and sending them back out (they are also my main storage location). Then I do stuff with my squadron and send them out again. Turn in any equipment I don't want to my grand company for seals and purchase anything if I need it from there. Then I start doing all my roulettes, except main scenario. I am currently playing/leveling PLD, GNB, AST, and DNC, so I just play whatever I feel like at the time or whatever the role buff is for each roulette. During any queue times I will do any class quests if I have them, as well as check the price of some things on the marketboard. After all that, I run around just doing whatever, mostly involving solo farming the extreme/savage duties for items, if there is anything that I want, and doing the relic weapon upgrade quests . . . from ARR (I just think they are fun and I like the idea of having to go through a bunch of long quests to upgrade the weapon the "canon" way lol). I am also getting all the crafters to level 50 right now when I don't feel like fighting.
First thing I do everyday is frontline xD. Then trial rolo and maybe alliance/expert. Basically everything you have mentioned in this video (: Would love to get into savage content someday, but kind of resting from any ffxiv content atm -- also really looking forward to the new alliance content (: (and island sanctuary!)
Honestly, for me, I’m simply running a daily expert roulette to get tomestones of astronomy, then run to get quick purple gathering scrips (takes like 10 minutes to get at least 480, as lvl 90 one stars are available back-to-back-to-back-to back starting at 4 o’clock Eorzean Time AM and PM) then I do some ARR beast tribes (the only side story content I haven’t finished). Once a week, I’ll do normal raids to get gear tokens, and once a week do custom deliveries in the Firmament to get crafting scrips (both white and purple). I’ve honestly done all other story content, and when I finish getting all the DoL gear, I’ll switch to crafting collectibles to get more purple crafting scrips to buy the DoH gear. As for the role quests, yes, I’ve finished all of them. What’s crazy is how ridiculously easy the final solo duties are for them - the hardest one for me was healer (though I pretty much suck at healer, honestly). None of them are great stories, but they all kind of wrap up nagging issues the various city-states have had due to the events that occurred during the stories that focused on them. Want to know how the people of Doma have handled not seeing justice served as pertains to Yotsuyu? Do the ranged DPS role quests. Want to know how Ishgardian faith and clergy have been affected by the revelations of Heavensward? Do the caster role quests. Want to see if Fordola can accept redemption? Do the healer role quests. Is Limsa Lominsa really committed to peace with the beast tribes? Do the melee DPS quests. And what about Gridania’s story (which you really only understand if you started in Gridania and/or picked up white mage, honestly)? Do the tank quests.
I've heard everyone say they hate the Tank role-quests and I haven't understood why because I liked it, but you really hit the nail on the head there... I started in Gridania as a Conjurer and that has been my main all the way through this game sooo... I get it now xD
@@Leffelini Part of the issue, as well, is that the role quests were, well, way too similar to each other. And I mean, sure, the details were different, but their similarities were so much that if you did one, you did them all. And yes, I did them all. The role quests in Shadowbringers were also fairly similar to each other, but they weren’t as boring because each one dove into a tale that really expanded the lore of the First. It was nice to see you teach Fordola to start to learn to forgive herself in the Healer role quest, and finding out that Gosetsu has become a White Mage in the ranged DPS role quest was funny, so these are probably the best two in my opinion. I enjoyed the caster role quest mostly because Aymeric is, well, Aymeric. As I said, the problem with the tank role quest is that it’s a continuation of stuff from the Gridania opening story (which not all players get) and the White Mage job quests, which again, not everyone has done. And the problem I had with melee DPS was well, they brought back the team from one of the most annoying parts of ARR and didn’t really have it be anything other than a monster hunt. I mean, they do make you the acting commander of the Company of Heroes and have you give orders, but the orders are ultimately inconsequential. As for tiers, well, nothing gets S tier, and not even A tier. I’d give the healer and ranged DPS B grades, caster B- (just because of Aymeric - without Aymeric, I’d mark it a C), and the tank and melee DPS C’s.
My daily routine in FFXIV is a double life actually. I maintain a main & alt. So I'll explain what I do on the main first, which is what I tend to use first. I tend to instantly queue up for MSQ roulette as soon as I log in. Reason being it's the only roulette I tend to want to do. Sometimes I do more, but not often. I know, sounds crazy, but I only have healers/tanks left to level (all my DPS are 90) & I don't really like taking tanks/heals into "real" content. I login my mornings, so while doing MSQ rou during long cutscenes, I eat breakfast. Today, however, I did MSQ rou + Alliance raid rou, so more than usual. When I finish my rou(s), I'll do my Gold Saucer Cactpot. If there's a GATE up, I'll do that first unless it is Any Way The Wind Blows or Slice Is Right. I don't like those GATEs. When those things are done, I'll do Pixie beast tribes. When Pixies are done, I do the Lv80-90 hunt marks (not hunt trains, the marks from the board). If it's reset day, I get a wonderous tails & if I can, I finish it as fast as possible. Not for the rewards, but for the exp. For me, the rewards are bonus. That's pretty much it for the main. Then the alt comes. It's very similar to the main, minus MSQ rou. I go to the Gold Saucer to do Cactpot. If a GATE is up, I'll do it. I'll do my SB beast tribes because I have two jobs still sub 70s. When I finish those, I go on to the Pixie beast tribes. I do the Pixies on the only job I have in the 70s atm (PLD). I then also do the Lv70-80 hunt marks with the PLD. When that's finished, I do the Lv80-90 hunt marks with whatever job I'm leveling in that level range (all jobs but PLD, DRK, & WAR are in the 80s on my alt). Currently, it's my DRG that's leveling, which is Lv89, so very close. Once all of that is done, I'll do the Grand Company turn ins to level my gathers/crafts. I only do the ones with the star next to them for the crafters, while I always do the gatherer ones star or no star. If it's a reset day, In between all this, I'll also do the weekly crafting/gathering turn ins. I usually only do them with crafters. It sounds very busy & tbh it is. I do get kinda tired when I finish all of this. However, I get it done pretty quickly & only play the game in my mornings/early afternoons & the rest of the day is free to me. Rare is it that my game time goes into late afternoon/evening unless I didn't have time to play the game earlier (which is why I queue up right away when I log in in the morning) or maybe I was chatty with friends on Discord/in-game could be another reason of game time hitting late afternoon (that's not everyday tho). I play in EU servers as an American, so if I held off my MSQ rou for later, that queue time wouldn't be fun. This might be too long for reading but meh, that's my routine. The routine is going to change soon tho because I'm very close to maxing out on main (full 90s), so then it'll be my alts turn to max out which is not too far behind tbh.
As someone who's still 2 patches into FFXIV and has a lot of content to do, very often its always different xD Last time I was doing Return to Ivalyce after already recently doing Omega, Mnach Storyline, Eden and Attunement Sidr Quests and I rly needed a break from lore xD Ima return to it post-6.1 story) So my daily stuff when I log in and on break from story progressing is: - Arkasodara Daily Quests - Trial Daily Roulette (personally the one I find most fun) - (If im in the mood for it) MSQ and Raid roulettes - (Weekly) Custom Deliveries - Ocasionally I decide to fill up the Challenge Log or do some farming in Eureka if im in the mood for it - Crafter High-cost ishgard levequests every week or 2 (they cost 10 so its easier to go through them and I don't risk going through burnout of doing 1 by 1 till its down to 0)
I didn't know about the added lootboxes at the GC! I'm always racking my brain on what to do with the excess seals. e.g. sometimes glamour prisms, moonstones, repair materials... but now I have a 'fun' thing to get :D
When I log in I check my retainers so I can send them off on a quick exploration or if something they can gather is selling well I tell them to start getting that. then I go to my grand company to check on my squadron and to turn anything in that i can for seals. Then if I have the patience i do Leveling, MSQ and Alliance roulettes so I can get some tomes and XP. then I'm off to continue MSQ.
did not know about the unidentifiable ore tradeins! i've been gardening a lot lately, and definitely always find myself in need of topsoil- thanks for the tip!
I really hope you're doing OK. I've followed the situation over there ever since it "started" in what 2015? Ugh... I worry that escaping into FFXIV and not to... another country (perhaps here in Australia?) isn't enough or something. I dunno. I empathise with you and I really hope things don't escalate further or you get the hell outta there. Love your work.
Last I heard she is trying to move back with her parents in the US for the time being, but she needs to get papers for her pets to go with her. she might have them by now though.
retainers - garden plots - pixies - seals - squadron - at least 3 of the daily roulettes always depends on what I am vibing - usually by then if friends are on I get distracted with something else. I try to set myself little goals that way when I am able to be on I can feel a little accomplished. I don' t always have a ton of time so two or three things knocked out always feels good. I always remind myself, too, I don't have to log on every day (unless I have garden plots rolling) so it isn't a bad thing if I miss a day. I will get to where I want to be eventually.
Hey Zepla I saw a video of you doing mentor roulette a while back and enjoyed it! I hope you continue doing that, and if so, I hope it's going well! I just got my Astrope the other day and I'm soooooo happy with it.
As someone who is freshly trying to figure out what my endgame day is like, the shared fate tab showing the gemstone levels.....absolute gamechanger. this video worth it to watch for that singular revelation alone!!
Coming from eight years of WOW, the five year break, I’m amazed how much there is to do in FF14. Main is 65 just starting Stormblood, a few other jobs at 40-50, huge armoury issues with all the gear though! I like retainers too and figuring out what’s selling. I’d like to try the Firmament and so on but just no time, it also didn’t seem as quick to level as some videos suggest, plus the problem of the inspected mats taking room. Enjoying myself a lot.
Omg zepla...your kitty is so cute, im sorry I lost mine a week ago....anything with kitties makes me.....also your videos are fun to watch. Keep up your great personality
To answer, my girlfriend and I both got XIV when it went back in sale end of January. We got on the new Oceana server (despite being eastern US) for that sweet +100%exp. We play a few night a week and already have our main jobs at 50 and just picked up 2nd jobs (SAM and RDM). When we play, we usually start with leveling roulette to benefit from our rested bonus, then plug away at a few MS quests (still 30-ish realm reborn). And then tinker with a few DoH or DoL tasks
When you mentioned sad EW side quests, I immediately thought of the one in Sharlayan where you meet Papalymo's father. At first I was like "oh this is just some random Lala to whom I am delivering a sandwich" but then he started talking about his son who joined the Scions and I was like hang on... w-wait a minute... ;-; I start my daily routine the same way you do! Get venture loot, sell mats, reassign. I donate the Allagan currency to the Doman Enclave for extra gil. On Saturdays I head to the Saucer to do the fashion challenge; I've almost saved up enough MGP for the Fenrir mount. On Tuesdays I grab Wondrous Tails and solo as many duties/trials as possible; it's usually finished the next day. I use my second chance points to shuffle the stickers after I have seven to hopefully get one line. The roulettes I do daily are MSQ for tank exp, Alliance for dps exp, and Expert until I hit the weekly limit. After that, I run some Trusts to level dps jobs. If I hit 84 or 86, I craft a gearset; at 89, grab the job gear. I finish my days by turning in gear for GC seals because I, too, am a loot box junkie. I got the Zu and Eurekan Petrel mounts last month so I probably used up my luck already.
Started ff14 in april 2021. Finished EW. But still have normal (alliance) raids from HW, SB and ShB to do. Also leveling jobs I like first and crafting/ gathering. There is so much to do! Just finished FF tactics alliance raid, loved that story. My routine looks a bit like yours, but also do frontline cause you get a lot of xp and can switch to the job you want to play and get the xp for the job you registered in.
My daily checklist: Frontlines until 1 win (those mounts will be mine!) The other roulettes I feel like doing, usually alliance+levelling. Free map=free money Mini cactpot Raid or whatever grind I feel like doing at the time (eureka, bozja, pf farms, fates, crafter stuff, relic, mentor, trust, totems etc). Beast tribes will come back on the list when they add the new ones. Tomes are turned in at random intervals, mainly to get relic stuff in advance, and raidgear obv.
Subbed years ago, slowly saw this channel turn into a vlog channel, which isn't the content I originally subbed for. Sad to leave, but good luck in the future
I hope ur staying safe Zepla!! I hope this isn’t too weird to ask, but where did you grow up? You have a (very subtle) southern accent and I’m curious if ur from the Carolinas like me!
I've been doing my stormblood beast tribes with the few jobs I have left in the 60s, fairy beast tribe, aughts, leveling, trial and raid roulettes, just to keep the supplies coming where I want them and I get it all done in like an hour and a half. After that, I'm free to do whatever I'm in the mood for and it's been nice.
Prepping for DR savage (yes in EW), so grinding out Dal, fates, CE's, etc. its fun, trying different classes and lost actions keeps it fresh. then i go faint in gridania near the light pole and random passers-by /pat me
OMG I decided to play after watching some of your vids... However the website to sign up for the trial was a nightmare to figure out how to download the FF client.
My cat also likes to burrow in between my back and computer chair. Thanks for the video. I have a similar routine to yours minus the savage content, but I plan to one day do those when I can identify the job that I'm best with.
I am so glad that I am not the only one who enjoys doing so much on their own. Yeah I do Roulette with others but enjoy the "ME TIME". That is why I miss BST so much! Wish FFXIV had that class.
I sadly gave up on FF14 since I had no luck getting any of my friends to make the switch. But I still love to watch your videos, hope you're doing well :)
I am 15 days into a brand new subscription brand new character so my typical day is a lot of XP farming. I just finished ARR main msqs to the point of being able to fly and I haven't passed any more of those I switched to a new job and started ranking it. I've also need you to subscriber to your channel and I love the little bit of content that I have watched so far thank you very much for being a wealth of knowledge!
Hmm well, on days when Fetes are happening in Ishgard, I focus on crafting/gathering. Other days, I travel around leveling jobs, doing deep dungeons, look for nice places to take pictures, go glamour hunting... the world is so vast, honestly it's hard to decide what to do most days lol
Haha the inventory thing made me laugh.. so.. for the first few months I played, I was selling things on my retainer the hard way, which made me not want to do it. I was looking in my inventory at what I could sell, searching it on the MB to get the prices of everything, then listing them. The day I found the 'compare prices' button on my retainer was a glorious day! 😂😂
Taking a break after getting all my jobs to cap, but my daily routine is usually expert roulette for the tomes, alliance roulette for the materia, normal raid roulette for the fun of it and possibly progress towards a tank mount achievement. Then sometime during the week I'll tackle the weekly Blue Mage carnivale challenges for an easy 100 teleport tickets.
I so badly want to be able to apply glamour plates outside of cities so that I can bind plates for the miner, botanist, and fisher gear to my gearsets and swap freely while gathering. Just... PLEASE yoship, address glamour and inventory issues in the PLL in a couple weeks
So I haven't really looked into it at all myself, but I believe there is a way that you can bind glamour plates to your gear presets so that it automatically applies that glamour set whenever you change to that class. Presumably this would allow you to set up different looks for your gatherer classes and then just have them all apply to the same gear set whenever you change between them, but I'm not 100% certain as I've never messed around with it myself.
@@NanoElite666 you can do that, but it still cant change the glamours outside cities. So as DoL mostly use same gear its stuck to whatever job you used last time in city
Can do multiples of the same gear glamoured different, though I imagine that could be an armory chest issue. My miner and botanist have a shared look and Fisher has it's own gear.
@@cutecats532 If you're using the same gear on miner/botanist you can't glam it differently unfortunately. Even if you wanted to acquire two sets of the same gear that wouldn't work, because you can typically only have one of any given gear item. This problem is worse for roles like tank though, where I have to re-glam if I want to have different outfits for my jobs which all share gear.
Zep: "that I can turn in for the Purple Scrips -- "
Me: "Okay, probably working on upgrading to endgame scrip gear, or selling/stockpiling mats"
Zep: " -- so I can get a really cute outfit, so I can look like a forest gnome . . . bunny."
. . . never change, Zepla. lol
Honestly, true endgame crafting/gathering gear isn’t available yet. So the best gear right now for crafters and gatherers really is the class-specific stuff you can get for scrips.
Priorities. We don't need stats, we need more glams.
5:43
I would be after that set too if each gathering set didn't have a separate set and my inventory just can't cope.
@@powerofk How'd you figure that out?
Overmelding the lvl90 AR-Cean crafted gear for gathering and crafting far suppasses the stats of full purple scrip.
Take care, Zepla. Hope you're able to get to safety.
I certainly hope she got out while she could.

"What I do every day"
Thumbnail: Zepla gesturing towards a bun boy
I spend a decent amount of my daily play time just hanging out and chatting with friends. FFXIV has such a nice, casual atmosphere.
So does wow except on wow Yu can pvp open n world pvp do rated ranked brackets there's definitely way more major city's then ff14 where people can hang out but ff14 Andy's will say catgirla beat everything fuqing weebs

@@masterpain7742 let the casuals play FFXIV and roleplay as cat girl and yes game is boring pvp is trash only savage optimization and ultimate are fun the rest you just run around with your mount doing nothing
I came over from TESO. The community in FFIV has been so welcoming and I’ve not seen any toxicity. It’s been refreshing.
I've been using my poetics to get augmented cryptlurker rings and turn those in for seals so I can get the minion boxes.
same. Less efficient, but also less effort than the soil method
My poetics go in materials for Anima/Zodiac weapons....The Anima ones are so darn expensive in poetics :P
Just roll on literally everything from the lvl 80 dungeons upwards. They all trade in for like 1600 each
@@Reinforce_Zwei I turn in basically everything I can for now. I'm also not saying I farm poetics to do this, I just exchange what I get, which can be 1-3k depending on what I do that day. The rings are worth almost 1800 seals.
The best method I've found is to run Sirensong Sea solo. It takes about 8 mins per run at level 90, depending on what job you use, and the gear from 1 run will earn you around 15000 seals.
My daily schedule: Wiping on p3s prog for 11 hours, 1 hour of erp in limsa.
gotta release the stress
🤣
Took me a month of regular attempts at P3S to finally clear it. Absolutely murdered any motivation to even attempt P4S. I'm mostly just doing dailies on XIV these days. Lol.
Good luck, man.
Living the dream
Literally same minus the erp part
I’m still wiping on p3s. So the secret is to erp in Limsa huh?
I've been playing for 2 years and had msq the entire time until i caught up and finished EW, so I'm finally for the first time experiencing endgame and I'm all over the place in what I do because I have SO MUCH that still needs to get done. I mostly have been focusing on unlocking any duties I missed from past expansions. I've also been focusing on getting my level 90 equipment lately and doing roulettes for that. I really want to do a lot of the extremes since I haven't done many of them yet. I'm itching for some harder content but haven't been able to get around to them yet.
Regarding the healer role quest:
It began as ok. It ended as a feels trip.
it actually began very very boring and uninteresting but it ended up surprisingly pretty good!
Super interesting! I started playing FFXIV in trial mode recently. Getting close to level 30 as a marauder. It's impressive how much stuff is in the game. Most of this sounded like a foreign language, but very cool, heh. Nice video. :)
Honestly going into this video I thought to myself, “well this is where I learn the difference between a successful player and me” and no kidding, we sound so similar with what we do in game! I was actually more relieved than I thought I would be.
Thank god, don’t want waste our life just playing games -_-….
To be fair, you can solo FATE farm on any job with a healer-spec choco, it's certainly not WAR exclusive. PLD also excels at this given the massive amounts of self-healing we also get. Of course, sub-70, the master FATE soloer is BLU.
to solo FATES? literally any job can solo fates easily lol even healers
@@zeening Yes? I did say that. Are you agreeing with me? I assume that you are.
@@CelebrinLunari yeah i am i just found the wording funny is all lol
The melee role quests were my favorite! Really didn't expect those guys to come back and I'm glad they did! Got some closure for them and their commander, also Merlwyb is best Grand Company leader in Eorzea. Still miss her ARR voice
You mean the company of hero’s?
Yeah I liked it to. Just awesome to see them in action. Also helps me to believe they actually could take on primals.
@@chkh007 Was trying to avoid spoilers but yes, them lol
Speaking of missing the ARR voices, the original VA for Raubahn, JC Miller, is also the singer for the Shadowbringers theme as well as Close the Distance, the song which plays area 6 of Endwalker. Real multi-talented guy.
The amount of extra little things I saw that you could do in FFxiv from just watching this 14min vid is honestly blowing my mind. Zepla was going into menus I never even knew existed lmao .
I'm pretty new, but another thing I do on a daily basis is buy the GC turn ins for gathering classes just to passively level them. I also get my daily map allowance, and I also do the centurio Lv. 3 hunts in both Ishgard and Kugane every day because I'm farming for the wyvern mount. On top of this I'm doing ARR beast tribe quests, bc like I said I'm new, and of course most of my roulettes (PVP including, frontline is actually a blast).
Edit: also I go to gold saucer and get my daily scratch offs :) My GC is flames, so basically I do retainer, squadron, GC turn in, MGP scratch offs first thing when I log in, takes like 5 mins for all that and then I move in to beast tribe and hunts.
@@yScribblezHD Try joining a hunt linkshell. I don't even think to touch the hunt bill boards, because I have gotten every centurion seal mount, barding, emote, and minion within about a month just jumping on stormblood zone hunt trains and any S ranks. They aren't as common as they were before ew launch but I'm sure you can still find groups scouting them. Also S ranks in ARR, HW, and SB zones all give centurion seals and all hunt linkshells are doing callouts for those. I've also made 100 million Gil since EW release just doing EW zone hunt trains, collecting the bags of nuts and anthro clusters, trading them all for X materia, then selling those on the mb.
@@HorusDeathtouch Yeah I was doing hunt trains for Shb and EW when I finish, but the centurio trains are a lot more sparse (on the discord servers I'm in). Ive been desperately trying to find a linkshell :P
I heard about you on the news. As a fellow warrior of light, I am very worried about you. I hope that you will be able to return to your normal peaceful life. And I hope that you will be able to spend your time in Eorzea with a smile on your face.
I tend to be an unfocused headless chicken when I play sometimes, haha. I have so many things that I want to do that I get distracted and end up doing a little bit of a bunch of things. Lately though, I've been having a ton of fun going back through side quests on my WAR since I don't want to do dungeons to level it. I mix in things like Frontline and wonderous tales for exp, and some solo FATEs (which is helping with my Bozja weapon too), but I'm having a blast doing it with my trusty chocobo!
During the week, I only have two hours at most a day, so I concentrate on stuff I can do solo:
1. Retainer management (check what they did while I was away, update what i sell, send them on one hour quests)
2. Squadron. Just check the result of yesterday and send them to work again for 18 hours.
3. Tribal quests. Both to unlock mounts and level some jobs so I try to do the quests with a job at a matching level. Or at least to finish the quest with a job with a matching level. Doing Kobold quests with a Paladin drove me nuts.
4. Usually the retainers are back at this point, so I go back managing them.
5. Level a job efficiently (compared to doing beast tribes) or do some special deliveries. Unless there is some kind of seasonal event you need to grind, in which case I would usually do it at that point. Presently, I usually level my leatherworker class as I don't have a level 90 doh yet.
6. Prepare to go to bed by sending the retainers who just came back on an 18 hours mission.
On the weekend, no real plan. Today, I started leveling a Conjurer because I did not have a healer job yet and I did not feel like running dungeons.
Hey Zeplah. I hope everything is going okay for you in this rough time. Hoping for an update soon.
Want to say thank you I am new to ff14 your content has been a great help.
There is always something new I discover about FFXIV!! I've only been playing for 6 months so I have so much to learn!
The Healer role quest is fantastic, gives a lot of closure to a story that really needed it. Working on leveling DNC so I can do the ranged DPS quest because I've heard good things about it
As a player that started back on the 1.0 launch but has really fallen off the last couple of expansion, your enthusiasm is infectious and has got me hyped to try and get back into FFXIV again!
top tip. use a market board searcher, search across your servers, and if its cheaper i always hop world and buy it from there. sometimes i hop world, clear out the cheap server and relist it locally for profit
I do a lot of these things as well in my daily routine. Lately I also try to grab 1 group-of-eight treasure map every day, just like my friends, and then we meet up once a week to find the treasures and do the portal dungeons. It's great to get some rare materials and it's also just fun^-^
Thank you, that was really informative, so much to do that I have no clue about. Right now I'm in Stormblood doing MSQ with my first character 🙂
This is the second video I've ever watched of Zepla's and her charisma is just so easy to see. I love her voice and listening to her speak, she's very eloquent and articulate, and I also find that we share alot of similarities! I too like to keep my inventory tidy, I'm mostly a one-game andy with FF, among other things :D It just makes me really happy that I now have a female streamer/content creator I can look forward to watching. Glad I found you Zepla!
Zepla, much respect and gratitude for your videos. You bring knowledge and clarity about the game with a friendly tone.
Fates are 14k per fate if the vouchers are selling for 100k on your server. You need 100 gemstones for a 100k voucher, which means each gemstone is worth 1,000 gil. And if a fate give you 14 stones, that's 14k. Get into a fate party and next thing you know, you've made a million gil in a few hours.
Solo maps are another fun side hobby.
My daily routine is: retainers > queue for leveling roulette > Pixies > other beast tribes I haven't completed (Vanu and Vath, at the moment) > expert roulette. After that, working on Wondrous Tales, one of my alts, or some other chunk of content - postmoogle, Hildebrand, relics, etc.
For all concerned, Reddit says she's safely out of Russian strike zones now, and is currently in Poland.
Thank God. Thank you for letting us know!
@@loki.odinson if any of you actually followed her twitter, she posted as soon as she got to safety in poland.
Couldn't care less she's annoying as fuck pretty sure she needs ADHD medication
I've still got too much old side content. My real end goal is to eliminate all non-repeatable quest markers.
Same :D and lvl all unfinished Jobs 😅
Thought I was the only one, i finally finished all ShB side quests, and I do 5 lvls for each class till i hit max. Currently going to 80 with 4 classes to go.
- Log in
- Do daily roulettes for tomestones
- Do any normal fights I haven’t done yet
- Stare at my job menu to decided which Alt job to level to 90
- Run a leveling roulette and maybe some dungeons.
- Maybe farm glam.
- Get bored and log out
Of course there’s also savage prog but that’s once a week and almost done.
I hope they add more for me to do later in the expansion. I really like this game and want to spend more time playing it, but since both my main and secondary job are maxed out on gear I feel like there’s nothing worth doing.
I don’t need Gil, I’m not interested in more mounts, and I don’t want to do crafting and gathering stuff. I want something else to do that advances my power, something that feels worth it. Yeah it might make the game more grindy like other MMOs but I think that’s ok tbh.
I just want to play the game more but not feel like I’m wasting my time.
Hoping Unreal Trails and the reworked PvP system helps.
It's understandable that you want to keep playing the game and finding more things you enjoy and want to do in the game. But at the same time, realize the game respects your time. It's completely valid to unsub until new content comes out that you're interested in. Forcing yourself to login in the hopes of finding something you like leads to burnout.
@@LevaniaMeyano I keep hearing that but I disagree.
Respecting my time would be not forcing me to play to feel optimal but at the same time giving me an incentive to log in so that I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time when I do
@@James-kv3ll Well, this is what I'll tell you right now. If nothing in the game as it is interests you enough and you feel like you're wasting your time. Then that's not going to change with future patches. FFXIV is very consistent and predictable with their patches and content. New savages. New alliances. New dungeons. New extremes. New deep dungeon and/or bozja/eureka type content on a very predictable patch cycle.
Occasionally they'll introduce something new, like the upcoming island sanctuary or Blue Mage.
The only incentive that you need to play the game is wanting to do something in the game. Not the game itself telling you should play the game.
Right now, my daily routine is running the same dungeon over and over to get all my jobs leveled through my grand company squad...I lost count on how many Stone Vigil and Aurum Vale I have run in the last couple of days....
Really? Is that a good way to level?
@@JDxxxxxx Undoubtedly. Especially if you have like 5 or 6 dps classes to level up...15 minutes at least of waiting time for 1 lvl/dungeons (roughly) for 6 classes up to lvl 60 that's roughly 90 hours spend just waiting for queues to pop...
I hope you are safe Zepla! Love you.
I've stopped playing for awhile as after Endwalker I just feel abit burnt out, I hope I get the mojo back soon for the game >
In reference to your pixie beast tribe segment, my friend discovered that if you do Frontline roulette, you can switch jobs once you're in and it will give you MSQ levels of experience in the job you originally queued as.
For me, Triple Triad and now Mahjong have really been motivators. Also thanks for detailing about the menus and other neat things - there's probably video content in just some of the topics you talked about unless I missed them.
Just picked up Mahjong too!!! I thought it was gonna be a steep learning curve, but I noticed some similarities with poker, which made it easy
I've loved Triple Triad since I picked it up, and love keeping up with it, but mahjong, man. I had to watch multiple how-to videos on UA-cam and I think I could _maybe_ beat the moogle at this point lol. But I do want to practice and get better.
My daily routine is different depends on the day of the week, where Tuesday is most important xD but let me just say, that in last week, I manage to get more than 100 orchestrion scrolls to my collections, and I still have a big list of those I don't have. And while having more than 2500 hours in game, there's still sooooo many things I never did/tried and so many plans to do, crazy! :)
I work from home so logging into FFXIV is part of my daily login routine. When work is busy I'm usually hanging out near a retainer bell, selling things, crafting things, setting ventures. If I'm not at a bell, I'm out gathering between work calls. When work dies down I might run some Trust dungeons or do some low key farms in party finder. After work is when I'll see how I feel about roulettes that day, do what I feel like and go from there. The struggle of getting my inventory under control is real. I don't like getting rid of anything because the second I do, I'll need it. I'm currently working on all of the en mass crafting achievements so I can finally clear out all of the older mats I won't otherwise need anymore. Thank you for reminding me about beast tribe quests! I had maxed out their stories forever ago but now that I have classes to level again I'll have to go visit the pixies ^.^
Wait.... you can get mounts from grand company loot boxes? I've open dozens of those and have only received minions.
I've only gotten one in like 30-40+ boxes so the chance is probably pretty low to begin with.
The lootbox only provides unbound stuff, so mounts are very rare, because there are simply more minions than mounts, and the lootbox do not prevent you from getting something you already own.
For wondrous tails I just unsyc Garuda ex and do it with my lv90 tank and redo for all the 9 second retries easy quick
Haven’t played in over a year, but still highly enjoy your videos!
I really appreciate your videos on the different things to do or how to make Gil. They give me a good starting point on what to tackle next.
Zelpa, very concerned and praying for your safety. 🙏🏾
This is so helpful, thank you! Currently obsessed with crafting which I have been putting off since I returned after a 6 year hiatus.
I think it's neat you didn't like the melee role quests but liked the ranged ones, because I had the complete opposite feel with them! I'm still leveling tank and healer but out of the other three I've liked them as caster>melee>range phys.
The rest of your routine is very similar to what I do!
Hope you continue to do well both in game and out
I don't do Twitter but me and my wife are praying for you and all the others in Ukraine atm. We've been playing for years and have always used your videos for help and guidance. Thank you so much for everything you've done and keep standing strong. You've built up an amazing community and contributed greatly to keeping FFXIV a healthy and fun place. You got this! We all believe in you ❤️
What I started doing with poetics is buying Crystarium rings (Cryptlurker), which I then turn into the Grand company VIA expert deliveries for 1800 GCS a piece. Then I buy the new lootboxes with them. I buy the rings as they are the only ones not unique and you can carry a ton of them.
The mount minion lootboxes have been the best thing to do at the end of my play session. I gnome how many dups I've gotten :)
How do I start doing that?
@@medeya560 Company seals. Best way to get them is to sell your dungeon equipment at your grand company
Honestly this video appealed to me because I joined FF14 right at Endwalker. That means I got a wealth of content and stuff to go through. This also means my friend group tries to show me some of the side content while also trying not to overwhelm me. As I complete some of the side stuff and make pretty good progress on main story; I was curious what a "normal" day-to-day might be for players who are near the end of content. This video lets me know what I have to look forward to and what to consider once I reached that point for my normal day-to-day post main game content.
Same. I started playing last May and have felt like it's been a whirlwind. While I've been having a lot of fun, it can defintiely be overwhelming to see how much there is to do. It's nice to see that my days are pretty close to Zepla's besides some of the content being older.
This was really helpful (: I've been wanting to find more things to do after beating endwalker, so this was PERFECT to give me more activities to enjoy the MMO I love
I really enjoy your videos as they are made for all sorts of players, but with an amazing focus on new and "casual" players with the intention to improve their gameplay experience. I would say that I am kind of an HC-raider, clearing all the past savages , I was playing FFXIV in week 1 plus all Ultimates. But still, I really enjoy your calm and joyful way of explaining ffxiv-related topics. Maybe I will have the opportunity to do some savage or ex-trials with you in the future. :) Keep on making such great videos and amazing streams. greets from Germany!

@@christophtrispec3083 Me either, but I usually check there as most people are pretty active on there. You're welcome!
As a sprout who just started last November, but has 600 hours and currently on the main quest actually called "Stormblood", I start my routine by making sure my inventory is sorted and confirming my 2 retainers ventures and sending them back out (they are also my main storage location). Then I do stuff with my squadron and send them out again. Turn in any equipment I don't want to my grand company for seals and purchase anything if I need it from there.
Then I start doing all my roulettes, except main scenario. I am currently playing/leveling PLD, GNB, AST, and DNC, so I just play whatever I feel like at the time or whatever the role buff is for each roulette. During any queue times I will do any class quests if I have them, as well as check the price of some things on the marketboard. After all that, I run around just doing whatever, mostly involving solo farming the extreme/savage duties for items, if there is anything that I want, and doing the relic weapon upgrade quests . . . from ARR (I just think they are fun and I like the idea of having to go through a bunch of long quests to upgrade the weapon the "canon" way lol).
I am also getting all the crafters to level 50 right now when I don't feel like fighting.
What I do ever since I was a kid playing MMOs is alternate between a MMO (pve) and a pvp focused game. It changes the dynamic and things stay fresh.
Same here, currently play FFXIV and Apex
Take care Zepla! I hope you’re sound and safe and get out of there
First thing I do everyday is frontline xD. Then trial rolo and maybe alliance/expert. Basically everything you have mentioned in this video (:
Would love to get into savage content someday, but kind of resting from any ffxiv content atm -- also really looking forward to the new alliance content (: (and island sanctuary!)
Honestly, for me, I’m simply running a daily expert roulette to get tomestones of astronomy, then run to get quick purple gathering scrips (takes like 10 minutes to get at least 480, as lvl 90 one stars are available back-to-back-to-back-to back starting at 4 o’clock Eorzean Time AM and PM) then I do some ARR beast tribes (the only side story content I haven’t finished). Once a week, I’ll do normal raids to get gear tokens, and once a week do custom deliveries in the Firmament to get crafting scrips (both white and purple). I’ve honestly done all other story content, and when I finish getting all the DoL gear, I’ll switch to crafting collectibles to get more purple crafting scrips to buy the DoH gear.
As for the role quests, yes, I’ve finished all of them. What’s crazy is how ridiculously easy the final solo duties are for them - the hardest one for me was healer (though I pretty much suck at healer, honestly). None of them are great stories, but they all kind of wrap up nagging issues the various city-states have had due to the events that occurred during the stories that focused on them. Want to know how the people of Doma have handled not seeing justice served as pertains to Yotsuyu? Do the ranged DPS role quests. Want to know how Ishgardian faith and clergy have been affected by the revelations of Heavensward? Do the caster role quests. Want to see if Fordola can accept redemption? Do the healer role quests. Is Limsa Lominsa really committed to peace with the beast tribes? Do the melee DPS quests. And what about Gridania’s story (which you really only understand if you started in Gridania and/or picked up white mage, honestly)? Do the tank quests.
I've heard everyone say they hate the Tank role-quests and I haven't understood why because I liked it, but you really hit the nail on the head there... I started in Gridania as a Conjurer and that has been my main all the way through this game sooo... I get it now xD
Sounds boring do pvp like a realan u weirdo
@@Leffelini Part of the issue, as well, is that the role quests were, well, way too similar to each other. And I mean, sure, the details were different, but their similarities were so much that if you did one, you did them all. And yes, I did them all. The role quests in Shadowbringers were also fairly similar to each other, but they weren’t as boring because each one dove into a tale that really expanded the lore of the First. It was nice to see you teach Fordola to start to learn to forgive herself in the Healer role quest, and finding out that Gosetsu has become a White Mage in the ranged DPS role quest was funny, so these are probably the best two in my opinion. I enjoyed the caster role quest mostly because Aymeric is, well, Aymeric. As I said, the problem with the tank role quest is that it’s a continuation of stuff from the Gridania opening story (which not all players get) and the White Mage job quests, which again, not everyone has done. And the problem I had with melee DPS was well, they brought back the team from one of the most annoying parts of ARR and didn’t really have it be anything other than a monster hunt. I mean, they do make you the acting commander of the Company of Heroes and have you give orders, but the orders are ultimately inconsequential. As for tiers, well, nothing gets S tier, and not even A tier. I’d give the healer and ranged DPS B grades, caster B- (just because of Aymeric - without Aymeric, I’d mark it a C), and the tank and melee DPS C’s.
motivating me to play more, to get through more of ARR and get closer to end game and to more of the story. i love your puns, never change.
My daily routine in FFXIV is a double life actually. I maintain a main & alt. So I'll explain what I do on the main first, which is what I tend to use first.
I tend to instantly queue up for MSQ roulette as soon as I log in. Reason being it's the only roulette I tend to want to do. Sometimes I do more, but not often. I know, sounds crazy, but I only have healers/tanks left to level (all my DPS are 90) & I don't really like taking tanks/heals into "real" content. I login my mornings, so while doing MSQ rou during long cutscenes, I eat breakfast. Today, however, I did MSQ rou + Alliance raid rou, so more than usual. When I finish my rou(s), I'll do my Gold Saucer Cactpot. If there's a GATE up, I'll do that first unless it is Any Way The Wind Blows or Slice Is Right. I don't like those GATEs. When those things are done, I'll do Pixie beast tribes. When Pixies are done, I do the Lv80-90 hunt marks (not hunt trains, the marks from the board). If it's reset day, I get a wonderous tails & if I can, I finish it as fast as possible. Not for the rewards, but for the exp. For me, the rewards are bonus. That's pretty much it for the main.
Then the alt comes. It's very similar to the main, minus MSQ rou. I go to the Gold Saucer to do Cactpot. If a GATE is up, I'll do it. I'll do my SB beast tribes because I have two jobs still sub 70s. When I finish those, I go on to the Pixie beast tribes. I do the Pixies on the only job I have in the 70s atm (PLD). I then also do the Lv70-80 hunt marks with the PLD. When that's finished, I do the Lv80-90 hunt marks with whatever job I'm leveling in that level range (all jobs but PLD, DRK, & WAR are in the 80s on my alt). Currently, it's my DRG that's leveling, which is Lv89, so very close. Once all of that is done, I'll do the Grand Company turn ins to level my gathers/crafts. I only do the ones with the star next to them for the crafters, while I always do the gatherer ones star or no star. If it's a reset day, In between all this, I'll also do the weekly crafting/gathering turn ins. I usually only do them with crafters.
It sounds very busy & tbh it is. I do get kinda tired when I finish all of this. However, I get it done pretty quickly & only play the game in my mornings/early afternoons & the rest of the day is free to me. Rare is it that my game time goes into late afternoon/evening unless I didn't have time to play the game earlier (which is why I queue up right away when I log in in the morning) or maybe I was chatty with friends on Discord/in-game could be another reason of game time hitting late afternoon (that's not everyday tho). I play in EU servers as an American, so if I held off my MSQ rou for later, that queue time wouldn't be fun. This might be too long for reading but meh, that's my routine. The routine is going to change soon tho because I'm very close to maxing out on main (full 90s), so then it'll be my alts turn to max out which is not too far behind tbh.
As someone who's still 2 patches into FFXIV and has a lot of content to do, very often its always different xD
Last time I was doing Return to Ivalyce after already recently doing Omega, Mnach Storyline, Eden and Attunement Sidr Quests and I rly needed a break from lore xD Ima return to it post-6.1 story)
So my daily stuff when I log in and on break from story progressing is:
- Arkasodara Daily Quests
- Trial Daily Roulette (personally the one I find most fun)
- (If im in the mood for it) MSQ and Raid roulettes
- (Weekly) Custom Deliveries
- Ocasionally I decide to fill up the Challenge Log or do some farming in Eureka if im in the mood for it
- Crafter High-cost ishgard levequests every week or 2 (they cost 10 so its easier to go through them and I don't risk going through burnout of doing 1 by 1 till its down to 0)
You are one of my favorite youtubers and your content is so helpful. Thank you..
I didn't know about the added lootboxes at the GC! I'm always racking my brain on what to do with the excess seals.
e.g. sometimes glamour prisms, moonstones, repair materials... but now I have a 'fun' thing to get :D
When I log in I check my retainers so I can send them off on a quick exploration or if something they can gather is selling well I tell them to start getting that. then I go to my grand company to check on my squadron and to turn anything in that i can for seals. Then if I have the patience i do Leveling, MSQ and Alliance roulettes so I can get some tomes and XP. then I'm off to continue MSQ.
did not know about the unidentifiable ore tradeins! i've been gardening a lot lately, and definitely always find myself in need of topsoil- thanks for the tip!
The 6pm western thanalan node is also worth the teleport I think. The shroud one not so much.
I really hope you're doing OK. I've followed the situation over there ever since it "started" in what 2015? Ugh... I worry that escaping into FFXIV and not to... another country (perhaps here in Australia?) isn't enough or something. I dunno. I empathise with you and I really hope things don't escalate further or you get the hell outta there. Love your work.
Last I heard she is trying to move back with her parents in the US for the time being, but she needs to get papers for her pets to go with her. she might have them by now though.
retainers - garden plots - pixies - seals - squadron - at least 3 of the daily roulettes always depends on what I am vibing - usually by then if friends are on I get distracted with something else. I try to set myself little goals that way when I am able to be on I can feel a little accomplished. I don' t always have a ton of time so two or three things knocked out always feels good. I always remind myself, too, I don't have to log on every day (unless I have garden plots rolling) so it isn't a bad thing if I miss a day. I will get to where I want to be eventually.
I've been getting into player housing and visiting all the different kinds of venues people run. It's a lot of fun, and nice way to meet people.
Hey Zepla I saw a video of you doing mentor roulette a while back and enjoyed it! I hope you continue doing that, and if so, I hope it's going well! I just got my Astrope the other day and I'm soooooo happy with it.
As someone who is freshly trying to figure out what my endgame day is like, the shared fate tab showing the gemstone levels.....absolute gamechanger. this video worth it to watch for that singular revelation alone!!
Coming from eight years of WOW, the five year break, I’m amazed how much there is to do in FF14. Main is 65 just starting Stormblood, a few other jobs at 40-50, huge armoury issues with all the gear though! I like retainers too and figuring out what’s selling. I’d like to try the Firmament and so on but just no time, it also didn’t seem as quick to level as some videos suggest, plus the problem of the inspected mats taking room. Enjoying myself a lot.
Take care girl, stay safe!
I use to play 14 everyday but i just log in , do dailies for 450 cap tome to gear up my machinist and log off. Im retired from playing my reaper lol
Omg zepla...your kitty is so cute, im sorry I lost mine a week ago....anything with kitties makes me.....also your videos are fun to watch. Keep up your great personality
To answer, my girlfriend and I both got XIV when it went back in sale end of January. We got on the new Oceana server (despite being eastern US) for that sweet +100%exp. We play a few night a week and already have our main jobs at 50 and just picked up 2nd jobs (SAM and RDM). When we play, we usually start with leveling roulette to benefit from our rested bonus, then plug away at a few MS quests (still 30-ish realm reborn). And then tinker with a few DoH or DoL tasks
Watching you and videos just makes me smile. Thanks!!
When you mentioned sad EW side quests, I immediately thought of the one in Sharlayan where you meet Papalymo's father. At first I was like "oh this is just some random Lala to whom I am delivering a sandwich" but then he started talking about his son who joined the Scions and I was like hang on... w-wait a minute... ;-;
I start my daily routine the same way you do! Get venture loot, sell mats, reassign. I donate the Allagan currency to the Doman Enclave for extra gil. On Saturdays I head to the Saucer to do the fashion challenge; I've almost saved up enough MGP for the Fenrir mount. On Tuesdays I grab Wondrous Tails and solo as many duties/trials as possible; it's usually finished the next day. I use my second chance points to shuffle the stickers after I have seven to hopefully get one line. The roulettes I do daily are MSQ for tank exp, Alliance for dps exp, and Expert until I hit the weekly limit. After that, I run some Trusts to level dps jobs. If I hit 84 or 86, I craft a gearset; at 89, grab the job gear. I finish my days by turning in gear for GC seals because I, too, am a loot box junkie. I got the Zu and Eurekan Petrel mounts last month so I probably used up my luck already.
Started ff14 in april 2021. Finished EW. But still have normal (alliance) raids from HW, SB and ShB to do. Also leveling jobs I like first and crafting/ gathering. There is so much to do! Just finished FF tactics alliance raid, loved that story. My routine looks a bit like yours, but also do frontline cause you get a lot of xp and can switch to the job you want to play and get the xp for the job you registered in.
My daily checklist:
Frontlines until 1 win (those mounts will be mine!)
The other roulettes I feel like doing, usually alliance+levelling.
Free map=free money
Mini cactpot
Raid or whatever grind I feel like doing at the time (eureka, bozja, pf farms, fates, crafter stuff, relic, mentor, trust, totems etc).
Beast tribes will come back on the list when they add the new ones. Tomes are turned in at random intervals, mainly to get relic stuff in advance, and raidgear obv.
Very helpful video thank you reminds me of what I need to be doing.
Subbed years ago, slowly saw this channel turn into a vlog channel, which isn't the content I originally subbed for. Sad to leave, but good luck in the future
I hope ur staying safe Zepla!! I hope this isn’t too weird to ask, but where did you grow up? You have a (very subtle) southern accent and I’m curious if ur from the Carolinas like me!
The fact that you're exasperated by your own puns anymore made me laugh so loud I choked on my food. XD
Stay well, bun queen!
I've been doing my stormblood beast tribes with the few jobs I have left in the 60s, fairy beast tribe, aughts, leveling, trial and raid roulettes, just to keep the supplies coming where I want them and I get it all done in like an hour and a half. After that, I'm free to do whatever I'm in the mood for and it's been nice.
Great video Zepla! Sadly I didn’t learn anything knew, but that just means I’m on the same page as you. Bun love
Prepping for DR savage (yes in EW), so grinding out Dal, fates, CE's, etc. its fun, trying different classes and lost actions keeps it fresh. then i go faint in gridania near the light pole and random passers-by /pat me
every day starts at the gold saucer, mini cactpot and one GATE.
OMG I decided to play after watching some of your vids... However the website to sign up for the trial was a nightmare to figure out how to download the FF client.
One of the things i love the most to do in FF14 is find good spots just to sit down and chat with friends. i made a lot of friends because of that.
My cat also likes to burrow in between my back and computer chair. Thanks for the video. I have a similar routine to yours minus the savage content, but I plan to one day do those when I can identify the job that I'm best with.
I am so glad that I am not the only one who enjoys doing so much on their own. Yeah I do Roulette with others but enjoy the "ME TIME". That is why I miss BST so much! Wish FFXIV had that class.
really needed this vid around this time lmao thank god
I sadly gave up on FF14 since I had no luck getting any of my friends to make the switch. But I still love to watch your videos, hope you're doing well :)
make new friends on ff!
I am 15 days into a brand new subscription brand new character so my typical day is a lot of XP farming. I just finished ARR main msqs to the point of being able to fly and I haven't passed any more of those I switched to a new job and started ranking it. I've also need you to subscriber to your channel and I love the little bit of content that I have watched so far thank you very much for being a wealth of knowledge!
Hmm well, on days when Fetes are happening in Ishgard, I focus on crafting/gathering. Other days, I travel around leveling jobs, doing deep dungeons, look for nice places to take pictures, go glamour hunting... the world is so vast, honestly it's hard to decide what to do most days lol
Haha the inventory thing made me laugh.. so.. for the first few months I played, I was selling things on my retainer the hard way, which made me not want to do it.
I was looking in my inventory at what I could sell, searching it on the MB to get the prices of everything, then listing them. The day I found the 'compare prices' button on my retainer was a glorious day! 😂😂
Taking a break after getting all my jobs to cap, but my daily routine is usually expert roulette for the tomes, alliance roulette for the materia, normal raid roulette for the fun of it and possibly progress towards a tank mount achievement. Then sometime during the week I'll tackle the weekly Blue Mage carnivale challenges for an easy 100 teleport tickets.
Hope you are ok with what is currently goimg on over there. Best wishes and hope we get to see/hear from you soon!
I so badly want to be able to apply glamour plates outside of cities so that I can bind plates for the miner, botanist, and fisher gear to my gearsets and swap freely while gathering. Just... PLEASE yoship, address glamour and inventory issues in the PLL in a couple weeks
Would be so cool if I could just add it to the macro to swap gear sets. My miner glam looks good on miner but dumb on botanist 😭
So I haven't really looked into it at all myself, but I believe there is a way that you can bind glamour plates to your gear presets so that it automatically applies that glamour set whenever you change to that class. Presumably this would allow you to set up different looks for your gatherer classes and then just have them all apply to the same gear set whenever you change between them, but I'm not 100% certain as I've never messed around with it myself.
@@NanoElite666 you can do that, but it still cant change the glamours outside cities. So as DoL mostly use same gear its stuck to whatever job you used last time in city
Can do multiples of the same gear glamoured different, though I imagine that could be an armory chest issue. My miner and botanist have a shared look and Fisher has it's own gear.
@@cutecats532 If you're using the same gear on miner/botanist you can't glam it differently unfortunately. Even if you wanted to acquire two sets of the same gear that wouldn't work, because you can typically only have one of any given gear item. This problem is worse for roles like tank though, where I have to re-glam if I want to have different outfits for my jobs which all share gear.
