i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@hassanaugust6530]

@Darren Boden I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@hassanaugust6530]

@Darren Boden It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass!

[@darrenboden3643]

@Hassan August You are welcome xD

[@Matthias-pj6th]

Important detail about the Brand New Ring and other equipable items that boost Exp gains; If you Sync down below the item's cap level (I.E. if you sync below 31 with the Brand New Ring) it will be re-enabled, so hang on to your Brand New Ring, Ala-Mhigan Earings, and Friendship Circlet for when you do Dungeon Roulettes.

[@KumiChan2004]

I just watched a video about leveling jobs. I also have every job at max level on my main. Why did I watch this?

[@Taionfallslive]

For when you make an alt? Lol

[@FarelForever]

It's what I do too.... I mean hey... 6.0 is just a year away!

[@Frostfang_Piglet]

Because you enjoy the content.

[@zolmation]

[@Red-fg9qr]

As a WHM I used the Trusts system on every SHB dungeon for that reason, having a relaxing time, no rush and to learn the mechanics / practice.

[@PanicRolling]

I've been absolutely anti- healing for years, and I'm using the Trust system to get more comfortable healing. It's a great tool.

[@Siboshi]

Hey sweet I just started leveling up my first alt character today and you post this. Thanks happy!

[@MG-pw7rl]

Great video for someone like myself who is getting back into the game after several years... Thank you for this!

[@Tom-zc7xp]

For Crafters/Gatherer's: Ishgard Restoration, unlocked at lvl 60 after completing Heavensward by looking at the flyer at the Ishgard aetheryte plaza. Requires a lvl 60 class to unlock but once unlocked you can use it to level any crafting/gathering class as long as they are above level 10.

[@theoryofthemobius]

Every time I hear your short intro music I can't get "Nationwide is on your side" jingle out of my head.

[@GrimgarWolf]

Thank you for going over the Armory Bonus. So many players including veterans get it wrong. "You need a level 50 job." "You need a capped class." etc.

[@HuchiaZ]

I may have just been misinformed myself but I'd lean on that it was changed since implementation. I only say that because I was told back in about 2.5 or like 3.1 that I needed a 50 to give jobs under 50 a boost. And with as wide spread as it seemed and obviously is now, I'd at least hope the majority weren't just misinterpreting the boost xD

[@EasilyBoredGamer]

@@HuchiaZ I started playing around when heavensward launched (can't remember the exact patch) and even then it was any class below your highest level one.

[@sphions]

Small note on Guildhests. The Challenge log gives a decent chunk of EXP when you complete 3 and 10 of them. a lot of players spam out the second guildhest (takes 1 minute) to get this reward which is actually pretty good.

[@daniellore9781]

Such a good video, mate, I picked up tips on so much more than just levelling.

[@krumb520]

The armory buff misconception could be so easily resolved by just making it a visible buff.

[@rd-um4sp]

Nice guide. As an additional info: Challenge Logs - The 5 dungeons or 10 guildhest exp reward is 10% of your level, up to a cap of 1mi exp

[@jlaffradi1]

Great video, very clear and well explained.

[@alphamojo3309]

Awesome job, big thanks for that!

[@MeThorvald]

The best thing that happened to me during my rough way to Heavensward was the Hildibrand's story chain quests - imho best thing that I've seen in an MMO (sadly I've stopped playing after some of the MSQ from HS). That was a year ago :(

[@thevoxdeus]

MrHappy, you are a good man, and thorough.

[@KapLysGaming]

I just unlocked POTD about a month ago, and soloing the first 30 floors has been my favorite thing to do when I get home from work. Bashing everything in sight for an hour, only thing to pay attention to is what can one shot you so bash it first. Great way to get rid of the stress. Just started doing squadron runs this week, and those have been a blast as well! You're right in that there is a learning curve, but thinking though the mechanics when you have no power to place the members has been a challenge and it's a nice little feeling you get when you figure it out. I took monk from 20 to 38 in about 4 runs along with the class quests (and challenge log) and that took maybe 5 hours all together. I did it in an afternoon. Thank you for this video, I was looking for something that would add some variety to my leveling experience. It's been exciting to see all the new stuff that has been added, but I tend to unlock something and do nothing else for a week or longer hahahaha silly!

[@ChillyWing]

I feel like he glossed over the daily Frontline challange in the the roulettes section. Generally around noonish PST (NA at least) you can get quick ques for the daily Frontline match and that gives pretty much a levels worth of XP every day

[@taco_sensei]

Honestly yeah, especially last patch since it was always Danshig Nadaam. I did it after daily reset many times. Very easy to cap weekly tomestones too with a lvl80 job. And tbh quite fun too

[@ChillyWing]

@@taco_sensei Plus the wolf mark gear is real nice (More so the ShB sets)

[@RageJ]

Yep it's worth doing the frontline roulette every day, it's about as good if not better than MSQ and takes 1/4th the time.

[@ridleyroid9060]

PvP is intimidating tho

[@Shorrey]

Good one, thanks!

[@ladwarcoffee]

Rested exp boost is percentage base of total needed to level up current class/job. Its worth a ton more at higher levels. If you are leveling multiple jobs, try and use the rested exp boost on higher jobs to get the most out of it. Its really easy to burn all the rested exp on sub level 30 in then less 5 minutes while near max level it can last hours.

[@thegreatserpentofronka2729]

^ Very much this. Full rested exp can last say, 75->77 if you stay on that job, or you can squander it all in under a few minutes going from 1->3 on a new job. Spend wisely.

[@Murasame13]

The armory bonus is incredibly useful to know! I started playing with my sister just yesterday and she wanted to play Conj, but I wanted to play gladiator, so I rolled an archer to be able to play with her from the start. Glad to know that I get a 100% exp bonus once I pickup gladiator to catch up with my archer level! :D

[@officialgritty4740]

Update on Bozja: it's currently a GREAT way to level from 71 - 80. There's a lot of people doing it presently and you get at least half a mill xp from skirmishes and closer to a million for critical engagements.

[@Sacrengard]

I honestly think you should have separated the methods in 2 sections, solo and instances.... because while you wait for the queue you could do some of the (according to you) less usable ways to level, some challenge logs, levequest, hunting log, hunts, etc, and then instances, like dungeons, raids, trials, roulette, etc

[@CreatureFeatureRlz]

I think this depends on your job. Tanks and healers get near-instant queues a lot. This is only really advice for DPS players which doesn't apply to all new players

[@Sacrengard]

@@CreatureFeatureRlz yes, depends on the role, but also depends at what time you re playing, if the data center is not at its peak hour you might be waiting 10 min at least even with tank, and those 10 minutes you can use to get some extra xp with beast tribes and hunts. Besides most people play dps, and thats why queue times are so long, so yeah this should apply for the majority right?

[@Sacrengard]

@@CreatureFeatureRlz or simply separate a guide to level depending on the role idk, I just think "rating" the leveling options seems unnecessary if it doesnt apply to all roles

[@HuchiaZ]

@@Sacrengard honestly I'd think if you have a brain anyone can make the differentiation of que priority. Especially with the roulettes even telling you which role is in need in real time. I do agree however that it should've been noted, despite being inherent, that you can combine the lesser methods to time fill waiting on better methods. Just since as you said, it's a common sense thing that not many people may realize for non-instance and instance methods.

[@Sacrengard]

@@HuchiaZ I honestly think you havent had to teach that many new players how to play, because no, not anyone can make the differentiation. Obviously for us, who have been playing this game for ages non stop, this is all obvious, but for new players they have no clue and will take his word for it. Maybe this video isnt a guide for new players, maybe its just his own experience with all the leveling methods... Now, why did I bother to watch this video then? Many reasons actually, I wanted to see if this could help me teach new players how to lvl better and combine it with my own experience, and also see if I could give some productive criticism to help improve this video in case it lacked or missed anything, which is what I am trying to do here if you guys dont mind

[@edgarlarios4718]

Finally! I FINALLY understand what rested experience is and how to use it! If I would have known this sooner I'd have spent it on my crafters.

[@Tentacl]

I have a point on the hunting log, being a somwwhat new playey myself - it serves to show you areas adequate for your level if you keep it up to date. Prety useful, if not for direct XP.

[@MoonTiger88]

If someone preordered Shadowbringers, you can use Aetheryte Earring for a nice +30% EXP bonus and some great stats from 1 to 71.

[@ardentdfender4116]

I have that right now having bought Endwalker as it applies 1-80.

[@TheLMBLucas]

I agree with the descriptions and ratings of each one. But there are some other "tricks" to consider too. For example, sometimes it's better to do a Deep Dungeon run to complete a level that will grant you access to the next dungeon. Guildhest can also be useful at lower levels for the challenge log with a Tank or Healer, you can do 5 in 10 minutes.

[@lakeeriemonsterg3225]

You can recharge your rested buff by being in a sanctuary when the hour rolls over only not by just being in one at anytime

[@Gatescholar]

Thank you! I've tried explaining Armory Bonus to my old FC mates multiple times that the way the tooltip describes it is NOT what they were saying. Something else to note with the rested experience bonus. If the bonus exp would extend BEYOND your current level, the bar will be filled and will a bright blue color instead of that dull gold color as depicted in the video. I had a friend ask me what happened to his bonus exp one day when he logged in and noticed it was blue. He thought he'd hit the limit on how much bonus exp you can have saved up at one time and I had to explain to him it just meant that he'd still be gaining bonus exp even after he completed his current level. Correction on FC buffs + Squadron Manuals: They do add together now. I use my squadron to collect manuals every week and use them when I'm seriously leveling my classes (like, doing every daily queue because the manual lasts for 2 hours), and my FC has the +15% exp buff because a lot of our members are newer players or are veterans working on catching up their other classes. Whenever I do content I notice that I'm gaining +133% exp (I'm also always rested and eat food too, hence the +103%)

[@zeroranger7200]

I have to disagree with your opinion about leveling through PVP, thanks to Frontline Roulette Bonus, and aiming to get certain Achievement mounts like the Construct mount, i have managed to get all my jobs to lv80, and i owe alot of that to PVP EXP. Queue times are fine on my server, there is normally a 5 hour window where it pops instantly. The extended time during patch 5.2 was great for this too. And the advantage you can gain EXP for jobs you are not fully comfortable with (Like Tanking or healing) without actually having to use them (Switching jobs whilst inside PVP) is a great bonus.

[@yvindvego9404]

duty roulette pvp gives insane amount of exp. i got almost a level (lvl 64-65) when i did a 10min pvp match, i think i got around 4-5 mill exp. there is also wolf marks to buy cool gear or other unique items.

[@YuubiTimberwolf]

A very good EXP giver is also the Feather you cab equip to your head just by entering a Friendscode BEFORE you subscribe (so while doing the free trial version) Highly recommend it as it stacks with everything! Getting the collecters Edition of Shadowbringers gives you an earring that does the same but better, worth getting it if you think about upgrading anyway.

[@mmor2games289]

Bozjan Front is a great way to level up from 71 to 80. You get to level up and gather resources for Bozan weapons. I love it, plus the story is interesting too.

[@heartlacies]

Thanks for this, Mr Happy. I'm actually one of few who despises doing dungeons and trials, I only ever do them for story content then focus on other things in the game lol

[@Croyles]

good video idea

[@criminalmatrix6]

Big point about those items that give bonuses to x level.... if you sync down to that level, it still applies the experience buff. So if you're say level 79 and get Sastasha for leveling roulette, pop on that brand new ring for additional xp.

[@chesssean]

Commenting primarily to help with the algorithm. Love your content. Are you going to do a furor savage guide?

[@shaunperron7080]

It's worth noting that you will accumulate rested xp whether you're in a sanctuary or not. However a sanctuary makes it accumulate much faster

[@TsuchiGamer06]

I have every job at 80 but I watched this because I enjoy your voice

[@OhNoTheFace]

Squadrons are fun but I only like it to level tanks, since they follow better then waiting for them to run in :P I love trusts for story flavour since the scions are usually the ones actually at the dungeon, not 3 random other people :P

[@mortoriousgl6717]

I'm kinda a new player leveling my second job atm, and I tested everything. Nothing can beat deep dungeon grind for exp/hour

[@dosbilliam]

I actually leveled up Samurai to take it through Stormblood because by the time I got to doing it I'd leveled Dragoon to 80 and didn't want to waste the XP from the MSQ there...and still managed to wind up a couple levels ahead of the quests by the time I hit my current stage of Shadowbringers. :D

[@TokidoTaro]

Wonderous Tails actually doesnt need you to complete the 3.0 MSQ. I just reached Idyllshire on my replay yesterday and I could unlock it right there. I was at level 60, so that's probably the only requirement for it.

[@DaRoyalCrab]

Thank you happy. I have an Astro I need to level and a side character to do

[@HayTatsuko]

Trusts are great for learning the mechanics, and bypassing annoying long DPS queue times. It's also nice to have AI teammates who you can trust to behave (mostly) in proper ways, though Alisaie has a bad habit of popping Caster LB even if you're playing Physical DPS, and Y'shtola occasionally gets so into her casting that she stands in AoEs... but Urianger seems to be even worse at avoiding AoEs. He's the only partner I've had to rez (twice!) in my 100+ Trust runs -- both times to eating one or _both_ of Lozatl's half-room attacks. Thancred is a pretty solid GNB tank... he'll pick up enemies very reliably when adds show up. Alphinaud and Ryne seem okay enough at healing and melee DPS, more or less. They certainly won't match real players in the DPS, but they do enough to help pass the bosses' DPS checks, which is good enough for me. Once you learn how the Trust partners respond to stack and spread markers, and learn to follow them to other safe spots, you're pretty much golden. Just expect it to take a while -- the Trust partners' DPS is far from optimal.

[@gabrielsobral6682]

"ThErE wiLL Be NoTHinG LefT Of YoU bUt A SmoKiNg CraTEr" Honestly, when i bring Alisae, i paciently wait the LB bar to fill just so she doens´t do it herself ,even though it makes me get hit by mechanics sometimes

[@HayTatsuko]

@@gabrielsobral6682 She's great in Dohn Mheg for that last battle, though, unlike her brother. :)

[@zeerodown1887]

Wait wait wait wait. Alphinaud is ok? O.o. My alphinaud let my Thancred die on Dohn Mehg at the last pull b4 the last boss fight :(...and there were only 3 mobs here!! On Holmister Switch my alphinaud is even worse!! Just talk about Ghra Tia, when he play as a Paladin...He doesn’t care about my Doton!! D: He pulls the mobs just a step outside and I think it’s not a “mistake”...imho he thinks that AoE can hurt himself :o.... Obvs joking xD. Trust is good to learn mechs, I agree, and to learn jobs boosted, as I did with nin, BLm ed mnk...but mnk is unuseful >.

[@Mystra]

I'm level 76 and only in post Stormblood quests. I did do all the raids in HW and Stormblood though and had double exp until 70.

[@1Shayz1]

Crafter and gatherer classes can be leveled from Grand Company daily turn-ins alone. Think of them as your daily roulettes except you can just buy the items off the marketboard

[@NeoSaturos123]

Yeah, you can buy the items off the marketboard, if you're a lazy cheater that is. Real men/women do the turn-ins legit.

[@k2k4]

Wondrous tails = half a level of EXP currently. You don't have to level the class that you used to go through all of the marks on it (so you effectively get more for turning in the journal while using higher level jobs). You can use unrestricted party to complete the requirements within it if you just want to blast through it. You can use your 'second chances' to reset and do the same level 1-49 dungeon over and over too if you like (I usually use Aurum Vale because I have the time down to under 5 minutes). You get more 'second chances' by going through duties with players who have not completed them yet, which means the currency will not automatically be available though.

[@powerofk]

Levequest EXP for crafting/gathering (along with GC turn-ins) was given so much a buff in patch 5.1 that, honestly, by only doing leves (and making sure you pay attention to which ones allow triple turn-ins), you can easily rank up your crafting & gathering classes quickly. Honestly, the issue is that if you do this (and are crafting from the beginning, not waiting until HW postgame, where Ishgard restoration can be unlocked), when you get to Heavensward, you'll have to slow down because the areas where the needed materials are found are locked behind MSQ progression. As for leveling roulette vs. 50/60/70 roulette: leveling roulette really does help raise levels quickly. Even at higher levels, 3 daily leveling roulettes (which also is a challenge log entry), grants a full level, even when thrown into Tam Tara Deepcroft when your main job is level 70+. 50/60/70 roulettes are more done for repeatable daily quests, which provide other rewards (often needed for stuff like relic weapon improvement). And Main Scenario roulette is done mostly to quickly earn tomestones (300-400 per daily roulette: 200 for the dungeon, 100 for roulette, possible 100 more for new player bonus). Only issue is having to rewatch all of the cutscenes to make it fair for new players. The biggest problem with Wondrous Tails is that, at the time you unlock them, not many of the objectives are available. Seriously - it's unlocked in Heavensward, but well over half of the objectives that are shown don't unlock until Stormblood or Shadowbringers.

[@scoobiusmaximus9508]

I don't think that duties appear on WT if you literally can't do them at your level with your highest job.

[@powerofk]

@@scoobiusmaximus9508 But they do appear if your level is high enough, but you haven't progressed far enough in the MSQ to unlock them. For example, my highest job is lvl 75 BLM, but I'm barely in the Heavensward postgame. As for why my level is so high at this point, well, just blame relic weapon grinding.

[@grahamstavers5130]

Be nice if they added POTD to the duty finder. The queue times for anything other than 1-10 or 51-60 can be really long now and it sucks to have to just stand around in quarrymill for it. I'm not sure but they may have added further lvl requirements for floors after 1-10, on doing this on my latest character I had to run this 3 times before I was able to run 11-20. Could be just bad luck but I've never encountered that previously.

[@exiaedges]

For me Lv70-80, I highly recommend doing the Pixie Beast Tribe quests. Completing three daily gives around 20%-30% of your current level and you can complete them in less than five minutes. You get more than doing trials which is like 5% of your level and you finish it faster. Compare to previous Beast Tribe, it's way more straightforward as you don't have to travel as much, and some of them you just talk to NPC once and you're done. Also the team put a lot of effort into making the extra zone for the Pixies, and I think they deserve some credit for it.

[@energydrink8524]

Hey there just started to play ffxiv again, thanks for the Video but i have to mention that it would be nice to have a conclusion of all the methods in the end and what you recommend the most ;D (Sry for my bad english tho greetings from Germany)

[@Ramotttholl]

after level 50 i recommend leveling 2 jobs with the story.. one of them being a Tank or a Healer.. and just do the daily's too. so you keep some variety in battle.

[@redgeoblaze3752]

I tried to do that to level 50, and it didn't work out too well. The quests outleveled me pretty early on, and I had to dungeon to gain XP a few times to catch up, and the 2 alt classes were left at 35. I'll try it for the expansions though, sounds like it'll work better there.

[@arcaneSae]

The only problem i have with the command squadrons is at least in my experience the tank is shitty at keeping aggro

[@katheryn6748]

I usually see healers getting mauled by trash mobs because they use a heal over time skill on the tank and get aggro before the tank engage :D

[@ardentdfender4116]

I’m curious to know if there is any issue if your the Tank in the mission? I’ve yet to do a Squadron Command Mission but I do have it unlocked.

[@Gokenshiba]

I’m the same 😂😂 sometimes I’m very OCD on the map sometimes and it gets overwhelming for me at times

[@lewys9204]

Roulette.. for DOW and DOM.. lv.50 dungeons and raids give if job is required like 6m experience!!!!!! On 100% exp for preffered works or 90 account

[@Terixofevermore]

If you tank or heal, getting grand company ranks is super quick, usually the leveling roulette offers 1 2k deals to whatever is needed at the time. So if you have no aversion to tanking it’s a super quick method, of course there our other requirements like the hunting log and dungeon quests. But those are menial.

[@fierytigergaming8112]

When you move over to Heavensward, you get a full on XP boost there (Probably to scale people's level to 50-60)

[@lakeeriemonsterg3225]

Happy u love ya but the rested ex bonus does not gain the longer u stay in a sanctuary but only at the top of each hour

[@tylerdotapp]

wait there’s an exp buff ring for the hunting log for arr classes??! well now i’m going to get that since it would be useful potentially for my very low lvl arr classes i haven’t done yet

[@Kasaaz]

Gotta get that Twist of Fate buff to make FATEs worth doing...

[@musashik4483]

I love doing Squad runs to level but later dungeons all of the special attacks from bosses always target the player. I find it hard to use a healer and some casters. I wish the AI from Trust was used in the Squadron.

[@RKumono]

Should have mentioned the Friendship Circlet item from the Invite a Friend campaign. Headpiece giving 20% bonus exp when level 25 and below, even on DoH/DoL. Given to Inviter and Invitee after the Invitee actually pays for the first time for at least 30 days. (Only on New Invites--not Returners)

[@WeirdDNA]

Armory bonus does scale based off level difference between current job and max job, not a flat bonus just for having a higher level job. This means it's faster to get to max level on one combat job before doing alts, I was 80 on everything before I learned this, but I'm told the difference is significant.

[@Valanway]

I disagree on the PvP roulette. It quickly gets pretty crazy in terms of EXP, win or loss, they're just so lucrative. For at least a very quick 10-15 minutes, you can get comparable (but not quite the same) EXP to several of the prime Leveling Roulette dungeons. In the 70s, it give a good 30-35% of the level (say 9M+ around 78). That, at least to me, makes it an extremely valuable cost-time play option to add into the daily chores/schedule of leveling. The only real downside is of course content preference. If one does not like PvP content it obviously might not be worth the quarter of an hour of effort. But man does it go smoother than Alliance roulette every time, which ups its value to me. The queue times are also obviously case-by-case depending on server and your server's particular PvP prime time. On my server it's never really too much longer than a regular leveling roulette as a DPS; 15-20 minutes tops.

[@TheRedAzuki]

Yea, the pvp one gives 1/3rd of your exp bar between 70-80 and the wolf marks can be used for glams or emotes or other stuff, so it's all good

[@MrLyramion]

This right here. The Frontline queue is always active during prime time. The thing that isnt active every day is Rival Wings (wait for Tomestone Event) and Feast

[@Valanway]

@Ricardo Santos Yes you do! Win or lose, it's a ton of EXP for less than 20 minutes of work. You simply get a bit more stuff on wins or second place, but even in third place you gain a bunch of exp and stuff.

[@TheRedAzuki]

@Ricardo Santos you get exp for just doing it

[@MrLyramion]

@Ricardo Santos Yeah you get rewards either way. You get a little more for winning but noone gets left out.

[@Darkmage1293]

Levequests at this point are...almost broken at some tiers. If you can reliably turn in HQ items you can blitz levels. I went from 60-80 on 3 crafters pretty fast. In fact with a mix of guild quests from 1-40, a trip on the timed boat that leaves Limsa at set times, and maybe 20 hq turn ins for guildleves? I leveled a Fisher from 1 to 80 in under an hour and a half. It was insane. It's mostly because sea items are pretty cheap too, so getting a pile of repeatable HQ turn ins wasnt that expensive.

[@OhNoTheFace]

As an aside, I find FATEs pretty good from 40-50 since most of the Coerthas Highlands ones are boss fights, and those seem quick. Or are at least fun. I dunno, maybe I just REALLY like the "Hard to Miss" song

[@benoitrousseau4137]

PvP is fine, I leveled one of my jobs to 70 while doing a pre-patch moogle tomestone grind in warfronts. I wouldn't make it my sole EXP source but if like me you like variety, why not throw in a feast or a warfront in your daily activities?

[@alexpayne5914]

Food. Always eat, keep that exp buff up at all times.

[@azae00Vids]

regarding rested exp boost .. if you have a higher class make sure to log out or afk on this one if you are working on a lower class swap to it after you finish your rest period

[@galacticbob1]

The boost works the same regardless of what job you log out as. It's more important to "redeem" that rested xp on your higher level job next time you log in.

[@azae00Vids]

@@galacticbob1 no .. what I mean is the amount it caps once your bar is filled. so if you use this on a lower job you can get more bars filled towards your exp. This has been tested

[@azae00Vids]

@@galacticbob1 quote: "You get the most ‘bang for your buck’ by using Rested Exp on higher level jobs.

@@azae00Vids that just says the same thing I said above, that the boost is worth more to use it on higher level jobs. It says nothing about earning different amounts of rested xp based on the level of the job you are when you log out, like you posted originally. The important part is what job you are when you are logged in and using the boost, not what job you are when you log out.

[@azae00Vids]

@@galacticbob1 ok let me try to say it a bit easier .. if I log out on my lvl 80 job and the exp bar fills completely .. when I swap to my lower lvl job say lvl 11 on next login it will give me more then I can have 2.5 bars of boosted exp .. this is what I have done in the past .. if I log out as a lvl 11 with max bar of boosted exp I will only have that bar

[@lichen420]

If you don't finish the hunting log for Ninja you can't continue training your job. I don't know if you need to do them for other jobs. But for Rogue and Warrior there were job quests that don't continue if your hunting log for your job isn't up to date.

[@gambitdnc48]

I did a video about some mistakes players make when leveling. You nailed it in a much longer video but please do your PvP Frontline duty! It gives a tremendous amount of exp per day and will get you wolfs marks for glamours!

[@scoobiusmaximus9508]

I feel like it would be worth mentioning that some of these leveling methods are valuable became they can be done while waiting in dps queues for duties. Beast Tribes and Hunts specifically are great to do while in a queue, while fates are doable but you get nothing if the duty pops and you have to abandon the fate. Sidequests are also ok in queues .

[@yvindvego9404]

the way i usually lvl jobs is to run almost only dungeons after lvl 15. running the same dungeon 2-3 times unlock the next dungeon, then i run that 2-3, rince and repeat. lvl 10-15 is the most boring part of the leveling experience imo. th ehunting log dont get me to 15 so i have to do leves and fates until i finally unlock sastasha (where i finally can have fun).

[@lakeeriemonsterg3225]

The clan hunts are ideal in between ques I'd rank higher

[@ShapelessChaos]

I find that running dungeons outside of trusts is only really a viable way as a tank/healer, since the queue time for dps is normally quite high. I normally just run POTD/HoH on dps classes to 70/71 then I start doing trusts. The issue I’ve found with trusts is that your character levels faster than the npcs it seems, so your stuck running the lower level dungeon even as a higher level, and lets be honest, Dhon Mheg fucking sucks, my RDM is currently level 77, and my party members for trusts are only 73, so I’ve gotta run a lot of Dhon Mheg till I can hit the 75 dungeon. It honestly makes me just want to wait till late September when the 71-80 levelling drops (hoping that it’s good)

[@maharaja101]

i like to do: * lvl 1-20 hunting log and fates * lvl 20-60 squadrons * lvl 60-80 spamming highest level dungeon + beast tribes and daily hunts while in queue + daily leveling and alliance roulettes (and msq roulette if i have the time)

[@lakeeriemonsterg3225]

Only need to he in the sanctuary one min when t he hour rolls over for the rested gauge to go up if your not in a sanctuary when the hour rolls over your rested gauge is not going up at all

[@zFerAresz]

Pvp roulette reaaaally gives lots of xp

[@karimpalafox]

I use fates and dutys for dps, tanks and healers just dutys

[@LatiNoble]

Is there a way to add squadron members if you have a light party?

[@conradgarcia-hauzer4630]

Does armory bonus apply if I leveled my culinarian to 80 first

[@nervnerd]

No it only applies to combat jobs mate.

[@tabuukiller13]

Thank you for the explination. Question does road to 70 fall off once you get to 70 across all jobs or only said job?

[@soulserver127]

All jobs. But you have 30 days i believe to use it

[@celestialkitsune]

90 days from character creation OR whenever your server loses preferred world status, whichever is longer. And it applies to any job below 70.

[@lucaslingenfelter1456]

The road to 70 buff will only fall off from jobs that are level 70 or higher. Lower level jobs will still gain the buff for the remainder of the duration (90 days or until the server loses it, whichever comes second).

[@mikethewordsmith4263]

Most if not all DoH past 70, MIN/BTN at 80 and I'm _still_ lost on the Firmament. By all means, explain.

[@Reonhart]

Bozjan are the best for me XD 5 days for 2 hour/day from 71 to 80

[@supersolenoid]

Hi MrHappy, thanks for the comprehensive video: as a new player, FFXIV tends to be overwhelming and often even confusing, with so many feature thrown there and with little consistency expansion through expansion (one major disappointment being Grand Companies). I try and look at videos like this to understand something but I often end up even more confused and frustrated. Numbered titles are ok-ish during the footage but, after 30 mins long a video, please consider a RECAP. Also, there's so much talking and scoring that in the end one can't recall what are the best features, which ones are worth doing and if there's a general approach that would help one level all jobs in a pragmatic, yet varied way. Thanks!

[@muchbows7648]

no way this video is 1080p@60hz youtube i blame you

[@TheDaxter11]

Always use trust once you hit Shadowbringers when you're doing a new story dungeon for the first time. Not only does it help to learn the dungeon mechanics, the characters you bring will make comments on things in the dungeons. It also just makes sense from a story perspective in general, since they're your close friends and allies who've been fighting with you throughout the story. (SPOILER WARNIONG) For example, bringing Alisaie into the first Shadowbringers dungeon you'll see she has a comment to make on the second boss, Tesleen the Forgiven, which makes sense given what that boss is and what happened earlier on in the story leading to that point.

[@mvgfamous41]

ixion is up and your doing a sight seeing thing!?

[@kookieslayer]

Hello, new player here. What's the advantage to squadron VS Duty support?

[@shirayukinobunaga9424]

I think the best area overall is MAin scenario Roulette, You get a chance for 400 poetics which can equal some Lv 70 gear ATM

[@shirayukinobunaga9424]

​@Ricardo Santos I only spend 20 minutes total and you should have reported the whole party to the GM's they take party kicking VERY SERIOUSLY

[@doomblackdragon]

I still wish I can play the MSQ on an alt to level them up.

[@ardentdfender4116]

Wouldn’t the MSQ roulette work for that currently in game?

[@yabiyabi]

I absolutet 100% disagree about hunting log. When my friend joined the game, first thing I told him was to chase after the hunting log on a secondary job or whenever he feels like. Not only do you become familiar with the zone, but the EXP is INCREDIBLE. No, not necessarily incredible when you do it over level 30.... but you must stay in the same level range as your hunting log. The way I did it, was when I unlocked 20~30, I WAS level between 20~30. When I reached level 45, I did 40~50 and that EXP from that log levelled me from 45 to 50 in a matter of fifteen minutes. The hunting log is what made my friend also, level up insanely fast within a few hours. Nothing else is required. We use food but I don't know if the food is relevant. My friend stopped using food/exp buff things to avoid levelling too quickly.

[@Kingdomfire551]

You definitely have a clear bias against PvP. PvP gives amazing EXP in every roulette and game mode.

[@SeiferVIIIGaming]

Incredible bro, I love FF

[@Neinliveschannel]

I do a lot of trust to level up lol

[@doomblackdragon]

Surprise MH did not bring out one of the best leveling ability. If you find grinding boring and have no problem forking out some money. The cash shop. Great way to get a level 1 character to 60-70 and soon 80. In about 10 mins. Which means you might not burn your self out from the painful grind this game has.

[@rahee9482]

IMPORTANT: ROAD TO 70 DOUBLES EVERYTHING EVEN OTHER EXP BONUSES. Say the earring for preorder (30%) well for road to 70 its 60% for the armory bonus and even the food buff 3% it makes it 6%.....I think the only one it doesnt double is the armory 100% but it may I'd have to double check.

[@chinaSazn]

levequests are great for leveling gatherers, but dont do the biglevequests. They take up a lot of allowance and though it gives you a chunk of exp, doing a bunch of regular levequests compare to doing 3 big ones, give you overall better experience. do collectables for leveling crafters. they give you scrips that you can buy manuals, these manuals will skyrocket your leveling.

[@glacierfox5237]
