Squadron EXP is ridiculous, I run with arcanist, warrior and conjurer and it amazes me how fast things die

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Yeah that makes very good sense, that is also what I heard! 😄

[@thrillhouse4151]

One of my squadron members just learned an ability that adds a chance to earn gil, not sure if it works for command missions but it was cool getting 4000 gil as a bonus on the last squadron mission I sent them on. I’m curious if I can get multiple troops with that ability and if it stacks and stuff. Finally starting to feel rewarded for all that grinding.

[@steveaustin4118]

@@thrillhouse4151 yes you and yes it does

[@JuffoWup78]

The reason is that the arcanists used in the squadrons are the old arcanists kit, not what we have now. aoe bio and such. If you really want to be amazed, take a tank and do two arcanists.

[@freyafanboy]

@@JuffoWup78 I'm planning to level dark knight next so as to get over some tanking anxiety and I'm definitely planning to try this.

[@fluffyfang4213]

Random little addition if you're like me and want to max out everything but don't necessarily want to *play* everything. The following strategies discussed in the video give you the option of leveling a job without actually playing the job: Wondrous Tails, Frontline roulette, FATEs, Tribal quests, and to some extent, the Challenge Log. Wondrous Tails: Change to job when turning in the journal. Frontline: As mentioned in the video, queue as the job you want exp on, then switch to the job you want to play as in the spawn area. FATEs: Change to job before the FATE fully completes. This is easy if others are doing the FATE as well and can finish it for you and is otherwise limited to collect/escort FATEs. Tribal quests: A lot of the Tribal quests (even for the combat tribes) are solely NPC interaction and not combat. Challenge Log: If you don't want to make a single attack with the chosen job, this might be limited to completing your 5th and 10th FATEs using the strategy above. I still think it's noteworthy that you can complete your 5th dungeon per week unsynced and make your 5th player commendation in a Guildhest. You might ask why I'm leveling something if I don't even want to play it. To that I say "Just in case", "Armory space", and "Some of these are just wasted EXP if you do it as a max level job".

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

This is very true! You can also always learn the job when you feel ready for it! 😁

[@bobseesall]

Finding a way to kill the downtime helps. Once i finished squadron running to 60, I worked on other games and tasks while waiting on dungeons. It saved me from burnout and let me finish games I set aside.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

That is also an interesting way to do it! The main reason I recommended ways to fill the gaps in game is of course because it doubles down on the objective of leveling! But yeah finding something else you can do while queueing in general is just as good!

[@steveh1474]

Little fun bit about frontlines xp. I unlocked astro, didn't play it at all, and went into frontlines. I switched off of it, we did win, and when I checked it's xp, I found that I gained enough xp to go from 30 to 31, TWICE! I was almost level 32 after just one pvp match. It probably doesn't scale well above 50 or 60, but below that, frontlines xp is enormous! Also, I would strongly suggest against deep dungeons for levelling, because the queues just don't pop. If there's something else you want in there, by all means go for it, but don't expect a good amount of xp, because I can't even say you'll get inside in the first place. I've cleared all 3 solo, and grinding aetherpool just to start soloing was always miserable. I'm on Crystal, btw, a datacenter with a healthy player count

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Indeed, I believe roulettes in general scale quite wildly at low level, both leveling and Frontline! But they become more reasonable at higher level! In regards to deep dungeons, yeah you probably need to find three other players to spam queue with to even make it relevant now, but I felt not mentioning it would be unfair! 😅

[@truestar1712]

Crystal is literally just the rp data center so that "healthy player count" take is kind of a stretch. Aether is the more populated data center so anyone on aether is more likely to be able to get deep dungeons done.

[@Rob_Thorsman]

Does Frontline give XP for every job you have unlocked or something? I've never done it. Does it work for Blue Mage?

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

@Rob_Thorsman it gives exp to the job you entered as, even if you change in the middle of the duty. Blue mage can't enter Frontline, and even if they could, they get way more exp by just farming open world mobs near their own level (note: not FATE related mobs!) 😊

[@Avalanche272_]

Fun fact, when I moved to Alpha when the world came out, I did a frontline on a lvl 20ish job and shot up to almost 30, it was nuts. Road to 80 and armory probably did the most.

I have watched a few channels that have guides like this. Even approaching ew credits it still gives random tips i missed. But your content is always well organized and easy to follow. Which is great cause im bad at picking up new stuff but great at optimization

[@tyleredwards4097]

Another thing I do as Filler EXP is the side quests in the world, especially if I like the area. For example, I’ve got mid-60 jobs so I’m more than happy to do all the side quests in the Steppe because I love the Xaela culture.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

[@Jilhel]

Great tips and advices as always I would say also to savor your levelling experience if it's not on an alt and if you can because you only discover a job for the first time once!

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Very true! If you enjoy the leveling experience itself, there is no reason to rush it!

[@Splizacular]

So true! I like starting new jobs and discovering everything so much i just took up crafting and gathering just for something new. I'm shocked at how in depth the systems are compared to other games I've played. New jobs rock!

[@pedroscoponi4905]

One small benefit of doing Normal Raids roulette during leveling is that you get practice with playing the job you're leveling at the level caps, which is good to have if you plan on using it for Extreme and Savage!

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

This is true. This is also why I generally recommend that you don't level a job exclusively through ways that don't really let you learn the job, since then you'll just have a job at level 90 you can never use 😅

[@walwal6449]

Yeah alliance raids really gave me a slap in the face as a reaper 😂 It's my first melee class and I was so used to attacking from a distance which made me able to see and avoid mechanics much easier but, I ended up tunnel visioning a lot as a reaper during an ARR raid so i embarrassingly ate stacks and died a couple of times in what was supposed to be an easy raid 😂

[@TheMNWolf]

I can confirm that the pre-order does have exp boosting earrings, it is a 30% boost to any job under level 90, and it is available now in game for people who have pre-ordered. It also has stat bonuses that scale with level so you are not trading out much in the way of numbers.

[@sammicoporsammicopor]

If you pre order dawntrail, you get azeymas earrings & they give a 30% exp bonus, so ontop of heat of battle & well fed, this is the perfect time for new sprouts.

[@choopgod1699]

Bozja (honestly zadnor zone 3 specifically) is how I do all of my leveling after roulettes, period. It's a little boring but it works really well

[@ze444]

Bozja is insanely good 71+. Most of the people that powerleveled Reaper/Sage up to 80 at the start of Endwalker dove immediately into Bozja. If you've already completed the content and have Lost Actions, it's even better.

[@CarburetorThompson]

I do bozja for every job. Southern Front is probably my favorite in game zone in terms of appearance.

[@Tython82]

I once helped 2 lvl 15 characters get to level 30 in under an hour via dungeons since I and the other party member were Blu Mages. We had our full kit and cheese strats, so we crushed the dungeons super quick, Blu Mages are great for leveling other characters to 80 via dungeons.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

That is a good tip! And very fitting given how normal jobs are great at leveling blue mages in the open world! 😂

[@Strider_Shinryu]

One dumb little XP boost that's worth taking advantage of is the Levequest section of the Challenge Log. To progress in it you can be any combat job of any level and the XP you get from completing the log entry will scale to your level so it's always a small but still decent chunk of XP. The best part? You can do any Levequest you want in any zone so if you pick up 5 Levequests in, say, Gridania you can blitz through them in a few minutes. Just like the Guildhest Challenge log, it's probably not worth doing the 20 Levequest Challenge but doing the 5 Levequest Challenge is well worth your time.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

That is a good extra tip! 😁

[@vespi57]

I don't have anything more to add on leveling Disciples of War/Magic, but I do have one for gatherers and crafters: Grand Company deliveries and provisions. They can be done once per day, and they provide good amount of EXP, and each gatherer/crafter have their own item to deliver. You don't necessarily have to craft or gather the required item yourself, they can also be bought from market board. For example, my wife leveled her fisher all the way to lvl 90 this way.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Yeah, if you are not in too much of a hurry, you could powerlevel all the crafters and gatherers by handing these in daily! 😁 Very effective!

[@anceptus]

Some days, I'm that guy who crafts his own provisions plus some spares to sell on the MB. Other days, I buy everything from the MB and go on with my day. Balanced, as all things should be :P

[@Sora_SlimeCat]

to add to gatherer/crafter xp, getting something in your crafter/gatherer book for the first time, either collecting it for gatherers or making it for crafters, will give you more xp the first time you get it than any other time. So the first time you harvest cinnamon will get you more xp than harvesting a full node of cinnamon after that, for example. So a good way to get quick xp is to gather/craft all the easiest to achieve listings at least once to maximize xp every time you unlock new areas. (this also lets your gatherer retainer go out for it if you've gotten it before and it's not a collectable, which makes crafting a bit quicker.) also lvling a gatherer and crafter that work well together will be far more streamlined and fun that trying to lvl ones that don't work as well together. (if you're lvling blacksmith, you probably want to also lvl Miner and not Botanist to make getting cheap materials easier)

[@AzyPProductions]

Hell yeah, we gaming!

[@NolChannel1]

Early grinding basics for those with Squadron access: 1. Kill things until you're about level 10 2. Spam the levequest Adamantoise Tears at max difficulty. Do one leveling roulette once you have Sastasha available. Otherwise, repeat the Leve until you unlock Hatatali at level 20. (This combat leve involves no mandatory combat and risk is largely mitigated with flight) 3. Squadron spam go brrrrrrrrrrrr 4. Once you hit 30 and get the jobstone, do your Frontline Roulette 5. Squadron spam go brrrrrrrrrrrr. Seriously, get your Squadron mates to +5 DPS. Sohm Al/Vault exp is ridiculous and will launch you all the way into Stormblood.

[@RoxiieReadsLore]

How do you get Squadron to +5 dps? What does that mean? Is it just training their strength?

[@Haconnon]

​@@RoxiieReadsLore +5 dps i assume it meen offensive tactic level 5 which will make your squadron mate have insane dps

levelling roulette unlocks when you have TWO dungeons unlocked.

[@MiTsul2U]

To be precise about Share Fate "it's need total of 66 fate to total complete" 6 for initiate and to unlock a riding map at a bicolour shop of that map And 60 for completing and unlock an additional item in bicolour shop

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Right! For some reason I remembered it as the first six being included in the total, which is wrong of course 😅

[@cavscout7366]

So execute order 66? *snickers*

[@masterplusmargarita]

Worth noting while talking about levelling that Dawntrail is going to involve a major rework of Dragoon and Astrologian. Whether that's a reason to avoid levelling those classes (so as to not learn a class that's going to change and need a relearn) or a reason to try to level them before Dawntrail drops (which is what I'm currently doing with Astro as a Dragoon main, because I want to see how it plays now before I lose the chance to forever) is up to personal taste.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

That is very true indeed! Personally I would always lean to the latter (try them before it's too late!), since that's a one time chance! 😁

[@Permafry42108]

Personally one of my goals is not only to level every job in the game, but also to clear every non repeatable quest in every expansion. So for dps especially I am killing all the hunting log targets for each job and doing every quest in every zone with level appropriate jobs. Rather than rushing, I have decided to keep my goal to leveling 5 levels per day across any jobs. Since I consider non combat jobs in that too, it leads to a nice gameplay where I work through every blue quest for every job, run 1 dungeon with a tank or healer (and 3 guildhests a week) and run fishing boat once a week. Then with my remaining time I either do msq, crafting/gathering (gc turnins and beastmen quests), or questing yellow quests. My progress is probably far from efficient, less so especially once they are all 50+ and I theoretically can do every roulette every day if I somehow had the energy to, but I am fine with taking the game slow and enjoying each expansion in depth rather than worrying about the "ideal" xp grind. Love the video though cause it helped me learn what to prioritize better to ensure I don't spend as often doing guildhests;

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

The most important part about a leveling goal is doing it in a way you find fun and enjoyable, and it looks like you nailed that part, so it doesn't matter if it isn't the most efficient 😊

[@slimeblue4873]

Another quick way to farm xp can be done with a little help from a BLU. Simply queue with them into a dungeon with bosses that can be hit with missile and farm it that way. This is especially useful on levels below 50 as a lot of bosses don't even need to have the trash before it killed

[@ThePizzabrothersGaming]

missile on bosses is only good if you have multiple BLUs hit at the same time. otherwise use things like doom or lvl 10 death or normal damage

[@joshuafryxell2072]

Top notch

In case no one has said just yet, the preorder does include Azeyma's Earrings which is plus 30% up to 90.

[@TheKeyblader133]

While it is probably about the same speed as Duty Support, I've found Trust to be a nice source of EXP currently. It is only an option starting from lvl 71, and you have to level the scions up in order to access further levels of content, but if that is an enjoyable pass time, it helps to bring along jobs around those levels to benefit from the decent exp gain. If you try to level ALL scions while doing this, it seems best for tank/Dps roles. There are a lot of healers in the scions if you're trying to level them all, so it is easier to place yourself as a tank or dps when leveling them up.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

I usually view trust and duty support as a combined package even though I realize they are separate things! If you are interested in leveling the scions with the trust system, it makes PERFECT sense to level your own jobs alongside, since you certainly don't get more value if you wait till your jobs are maxed out! 😊

[@TheKeyblader133]

@@CaetsuChaijiChI probably should have considered you treated them as the same. beyond the leveling restrictions, they pretty much function identically xD

[@alolanjojo8153]

How I got all my jobs to 90: main job - msq quests. Alt jobs, 1-15 hunting log, 15 - 30 leveling roulettes, 30 - 50 leveling roulette and front lines, 50 - 80 msq, leveling, and alliance roulette, and front lines, 80 - 90 same plus tribal quests

[@Dniem]

While doing MSQ, important to keep a few jobs close to the MSQ level. Do not turn in an MSQ with a maxed out job, or you lose the exp; just switch to a job within the level range and turn it in with that job. This way you maximize your MSQ gain. During Endwalker, my PLD was Lv.90 by MSQ Lv.82; I just started to turn in with other jobs instead.

[@Hugo-MTX96]

what does defeating enemies entail? Does it count for the exp you get fot felling bosses? Or is that considered dungeon exp?

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Defeating enemies include exp awarded for beating a boss, but does NOT include the exp for the daily roulette for example, even if both portions of exp are awarded for beating the final boss in a dungeon for example! 😊 I hope this clears it up!

[@alpha_mantis]

There is another +20% kill exp bonus from mentor, this will apply when mentor (no need to tag up just need status) party up with sprout (or returners) before queue to duty. This bonus will apply to both mentor and sprout, however , it will only apply when their actual level (if I remember correctly) are below 80. So, if you have mentor status (doesn't matter if you tag up or not) and you want to run highest dungeon for alt job then it's a good idea to take sprout along as well and vise versa for sprout.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

That is a very interesting detail! I believe mentors can also be in group with sprouts without it decimating open world exp gains as well, although that one is more niche!

[@Acrysalis]

@@CaetsuChaijiCh You would simply need to party up at roughly the same level for open world. Also interesting note: trade mentor gives the mentor exp bonus the same as battle mentor and is much easier to attain!

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

@Acrysalis oh I know that works for any character, but I specifically recall that the mentor buff makes it so even if the mentor is level 90 and the sprout level 1, the sprout still gets a decent share of the exp, where normally they'd get zero 😊 (although I may remember it wrong, it's not like this detail comes up very much!) Good point about the trade mentor thing! 😁

[@ThePizzabrothersGaming]

Can very much vouch for Squadron manuals and Bozja. My FC is endgame so they don't do thrill of battle and the 15% from the manuals is very noticeable. Also leveled monk and Bard back to back. Monk other activities and Bard for the first run of Bozja. Bard was significantly faster and more fun. Very much recommend it for dps.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Oh yeah that makes sense. Any fc I've been in has always just done heat of battle just in case anyone needs it, but I can imagine if everyone's mostly leveled, they might go for more Max level helpful effects!

[@axellis8333]

I've found that up to level 60-70 leve quests are surprisingly good grinds for exp

[@cyphi474]

As dps, you might want queue for highest 2 or 3 dungeons. You get less exp, but its still better than fates and you'll get gear you missed previously(leveling trough other means will leave you behind on the gear). It cuts down waiting time as you have more options to get party than just one. Matchmaker wont put you into queue, if his current list is full, but thats complicated matter. Giving matchmaker more options is better and lower level dungeon will still give you decent exp.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Yeah settling for a few lower dungeons can be helpful to affect queue time, but it also depends on your level range. You probably wouldn't want to dip an expansion backwards if you can avoid it! 😊

[@cyphi474]

@@CaetsuChaijiCh It was more important when trash mobs in dungeons were still giving exp, but since you get flat xp for every boss instead now, its not that big deal. Even Great gubal library will give decent exp to lvl61 job.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

@cyphi474 the exp from the trash mobs was largely moved to the bosses, so aside from exceptions like aurum vale where you could kill a lot of extra trash, most dungeons kept their exp gains largely the same 😊 Sure a level 59-60 dungeon isn't too bad if you are level 61, but a 57-58 would be a bit worse still, and a 61-62 dungeon would be significantly better. It is a matter of weighing your options and whether the time saved is worth more 😁

[@Splizacular]

Interesting problem to note that i had with wonderous tales: I love dungeons and trials so i get distracted a lot leveling. As such, my first job hit 90 while i was still in shadowbringers msq. All of a sudden my wonderous tales was requiring me to do a bunch of duties that i didnt have access to. It quickly became so limiting that i had to really play my second chances to repeat content and it just didnt feel worth the hassle. Lucky me i love just spamming dungeons but wonderous tales was awesome xp for stuff i was doing anyway so it was a bummer when it got wrecked

Sorry but not sorry not so my case. The outher things are intersting. Only squadron say me nothing.

[@MrScourch]

I often level multiple jobs at a time, and something I consider while doing so is how relatively effective each method is. Examples include things like tribes giving a greater percentage of a level early in their range (as I recall), so I try to do them on jobs that are lower level. Another example would be when turning in wondrous tails I will prefer jobs higher in their level bracket, since 50% is moreuseful there. I also do things like avoiding turning in wondrous tails on a job that is about to level, since 50% of the current level is less than 50% of the next level. Finally, when farming fates I like to do most of the fate as whatever job clears fastest, then switch for the last mob to what I want the exp on. Works especially well with gather/turn in type fates.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Those are some great tips indeed! 😁

[@Medewtysenu]

The easiest method is (if you have finished Shadowbringers) is to go to the Tempest, head north from the Cups aetheryte and look for the leeches. There are npcs known as Cliodne that eat the leeches. tag the leech, then tag the Cliodne and run until the leech is in the Cliodne's path. It will kill the leech and give you a huge xp boost. This is how I level my Blue mage from 70-80 in 45 minutes. Should work the same for any other job.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Blue mage has a passive gigantic exp bonus from open world mobs that makes it exceptionally fast to level specifically against open world mobs. This trick would not work for a normal job 😅

Road to 80 is how I leveled most of mine (yes, it's still active, guess Maduin isn't super popular) ...but then *after* I hit 80 on everything I realized I had not even entered Heavensward yet because I was drunk on quick level gains via all the roulettes, and made an oopsie on what content I could access if I wanted to reach 90 now the same way everyone else does. Even better, I didn't have DRK/MCH/AST yet, so even after I *did* reach Heavensward? I had to go right back to ARR anyway because they start at 30 and Road to 80 would be active for them! One day I'll escape this limbo... lol.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

That is a pretty funny problem 😂 at least you finished all that! 😅

[@Elinshir]

You said logged out to gain rest xp? No, it can be gained just by being in, and going idle in any area that the game recognizes as a sanctuary for a period of time, it's slow but you still gain rest xp. you'll know you're in one when u have a moon next to ur xp bar

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Thats a fair point. I did mention the moon thing, but I do suppose you are right that you may not even need to log out! It does still take quite a while to build! ^^

[@epyon542]

My tip that stopped me from burning out and broke up the monotony while leveling dps was to do my roulettes and then when I'm queueing for a dungeon, I'd work on a Gunpla kit. It wasn't the most effective way to level but it let me work through my backlog while at the same time just giving me something to break up the grind.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Indeed, doing something else while waiting can be great to avoid losing interest! 😄

[@mrswag2866]

I DO THE EXACT SAME THING ! Gunpla are amazing, I also read or do other stuff, that's why I actually like to level DPS

[@femthingevelyn]

fun fact! the brand new ring will activate when synced below 30, so be sure to keep it on you in case you get sastasha on leveling roulette

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

It will activate yes! but it boosts the exp from defeating enemies, which is relative to the content itself, so if the impact feels rather small, that would be why! 😊

[@gateauxq4604]

Running daily Frontlines roulette is a necessity unless you secretly hate xp! It’s usually 10-20 minutes spent to get a ton of XP and you don’t even need to play the job you’re levelling. Hate PVP? Still more XP than dungeon spamming. It’s well worth the time.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Absolutely, I just do know some players that would rather not do pvp, despite all those incentives! 😅 I think often it can be the fear of failing in a pvp game, which often can have much more toxic responses! 😊

[@sjacpswbs03162005]

50-60 might not be too bad, levelling does help a ton, but the 60-70 grind is probably the worst for me. The two tribes aren’t giving as good xp as the pixies or arkasondras. The crafter equivalent I suppose is 50-60, the quests are probably the worst part more so than the levelling itself since GC hand ins are great

[@happydude2163]

Thank you! If you have a mechanism for levelling a blue mage that doesn't make you want to top yourself with boredom, would love to hear it :-)

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Well, if you have a high level friend you can use the trick where you tag mobs and they kill them. If you think that's boring, then an effective leveling strategy is simply fighting mobs in the open world, as blue gets a big exp boost exclusively from regular open world mobs! I had fun in the lower levels by using blue mage spells to fight things ten levels over me. At higher levels I made sure to fight things exactly at my level, as "death spells" don't work if you aren't at least equal to the level of your target! 😅 Death spells being a rather extensive list, but essentially anything that can manipulate the enemy hp directly like missile (cuts their hp in half), or kills them outright like ultravibration 😊

[@0xDin]

As long as you hit the mob first you get the xp. So you can take a lvl 1 to a lvl 90 area, smack a MELEE enemy, range will just shoot and kill you, smacknthem from a distance, then have a lvl 90 buddybkill it. Boom. Lvl 15 in like 3 or 4 mobs then you can do dungeons.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

That is an interesting tip, and I had not thought of that! ^^

[@ThePizzabrothersGaming]

this is true IF you are NOT in a party. also, there is a world mob exp penalty if the level gap is too large

[@WikiED]

It's so sad Eureka does not grant exp, if it did it would've been so much more popular. I'm sure there is more ppl like me that have left doing Eureka as last thing to do since getting all jobs to 90 is higher priority. I hope Field Operation in Dawntrail will just like Bozja give exp to jobs so I won't get physically sick doing dungeons (grinding Trust completely killed any dungeon fun there could be found for me).

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Hard to say! I know there are some players that are deeply dedicated to eureka, so much so they prioritized it over a lot of other content. But if you could level with it too, it would probably be more popular 😊

[@WikiED]

@@CaetsuChaijiCh Yeah Eureka does have some great community, but many don't truly step in there in the first place for far too long and exp would be a great excuse to attempt engaging with the content, that's why pretty early i've entered Bozja while skipping Eureka for the longest time. Exp is massively underrated as a reason ppl do an activity. It would not have to be as efficient as Bozja expwise, anything for the 61+ would be fine to attract droves of ppl to try out Eureka.

[@Viech54]

An addition to using duty support/trusts for leveling: Don't do it if you're a DPS. You will have an incredibly hard time w2wing with them as a DPS. Having both an NPC tank and an NPC healer will wipe you most of the time. As a tank, it is doable most of the time and as a healer, it's easy. But as a healer, you have to pull the second pack, then run back to the tank. Put regen on yourself and the tank while pulling, then it's gg. Frontline: I hate it, but I like EXP. I tend to do it until I have the current series rewards, then stop torturing myself.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

In my personal experience, wall to wall pulling as a dps with duty support doesn't help that much anyway because of how much the npcs don't want to, and also because they do no aoe damage. I haven't had issues with them wiping as a result, but given you're the only one cleaving anyway, it might not be worth the effort! 😅 But I will agree it is also a lot lot slower as a result!

[@xxomega702buzzalini8]

The reason the duty support and trusts have a hard time w2w is they do not AoE, Healer is easiest cause the NPC tanks just don't die, I tested on a couple of healers the tanks don't really need you cause they have there ability's on a crazy shorted cooldown and they are just better than the ones players get. On tanks the healers just react to slow and your kitchen sinking w2w's.

[@Saltyfeet89]

Step 1: Current leveling ring + FC XP BUFF + log out in a sanctuary Step 2: Queue highest level dungeon you can do Step 3: Do beast tribes while waiting for queue timer Step 3: Leveling daily when you’re bored of the same dungeon Result: 10 levels a day for like 2 hours (15 minutes a dungeon)

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

5:42 min.: Cloes is broken for lvling. I love it. I highly recoment it ^^

[@Vexington]

i wish trusts worked like squadrons, bcus i'd like to level those as well for the achievements... but everything takes sooooo much time.

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

2:40 min.: Its gos cheaper. You can Gather self than have you zero Costs or you buy Organe Juice what costs only 2 Gil ^^

[@medivh1035]

I thought leveling roulette will try to compensate you if you get a dungeon far below your level? Why do you need that option to get dungeon that are close to your level? Is the compensation not good enough?

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

It compensates, but doing a higher level dungeon I think gives more. So like the lower level dungeon makes it less bad, but isn't perfect. I am not 100% sure since I don't have enough data to give a straight answer though! ^^'

[@ChaoPlaymate]

I believe leveling roulette, you do for the big bonus at the end. The dungeon itself will give the same boss xp as normal, so naturally getting something at 70 is gonna give more than, say, Sastasha

[@WikiED]

7:17 I was wondering how it actually works, i was thinking that maybe after you get matched in a party then it looks for lowest lvl around and then it limits duties available so if you'd happen to get matched with all 70+, there was no way you could get aurum vale It's a bit sad it turns out it works only for premade

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Yeah it is unfortunate you can only use it in a pre-made, but at least it's better than nothing!

[@chestercarter6081]

If on a preferred world just do msq job quest and hunt log omg you will be 50 while on lvl 30 msq😅

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Yeah I wonder if you'd even need hunting log at that point! 😂

[@kas9008]

I swear by Bozja 71-80, but I can understand how people burn out on Bozja. There's just not much variety in the environments. But it was so quick to level, even for healers and tanks.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Yeah exactly. Personally I did try it way back at start of endwalker. It was very effective! 😁

[@ProtossOP]

Great tips. I’ve like 7 jobs to level, and man I still think it takes too long even with all these exp boosts to get to max lvl, or even to lvl 81. I unironically miss how fast levelling alts was in WoW. You could literally get to max level in 13-15 hours or so. In FFXIV it takes 5-7 days at least. In a game advertised as alt job friendly. Insane!

[@Edanite]

Egg. The single most powerful item in the game.

[@steveaustin4118]

If you get the DPS bonus to level 4/5 on your squdron you can do even the vault in 12-15 minutes unless you get instant pop on queues I think it's quicker, plus if you pick up all loot you can just turn it in and get back the seals you used higher level dungeons give more seals than you use

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

That is a good point! I didn't know it was actually that fast, that's insane!

[@IbukiLazuli]

I'd personally put the alliance raid last, from my experience it doesn't give much exp at all compared to the time investment of them

[@TaranTatsuuchi]

I'll probably wait for a new xp earring before going the full list....

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Perfectly fine! I am not entirely sure when this earring becomes available, but planning around it is a lot better than realizing you wish you knew in hindsight! 😊

[@swapertxking]

Wait, combat manuals and heat of battle fc buffs don’t or do stack?

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

They don't stack. If you have both on at the same time, the strongest one applies 😊

[@swapertxking]

@@CaetsuChaijiCh well thats good to know but bad since fc regularly uses level 3 heat of battle, so been wasting my combat manuals

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

@swapertxking that's unlucky, but now you know at least! I find it way more common that fcs just use heat of battle 2!😊

[@Scerttle]

Honestly, I find doing dungeons with the squadron is absolutely the fastest way to 60. If you get an arcanist and warrior as your NPCs they just melt through mobs... you're actually the anchor lmfao The arcanist NPC uses old skills and they're just ridiculously powerful AOE. I actually find it MUCH superior to duty support. Especially because you can drag the tank to the next pack and wall to wall.

[@Scerttle]

Oh. Also. I'm a PVP gremlin. CC actually gives decent job EXP. I think it gave the same amount for one match as the guild hest challenge log entry when I was levelling WHM on my alt earlier this week.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Indeed! I agree on the squadron versus duty support thing! I tried to visualize the difference by showing footage of doing it with squadron (a suboptimal squadron even I believe!), and then duty support. Given there was a clear time difference it only makes sense squadron is better! In regards to crystalline conflict, I've had much difficulty queueing into CC itself, and remembered prior conversations that suggested it wasn't that amazing for the time investment, that was the main reason it sort of got left out! But if you actually enjoy CC, especially with the job you're leveling, then that's obviously a great way to level! 😄

[@Scerttle]

@@CaetsuChaijiCh ahhhh understandable. I think it’s possible aether is full of pvp gremlins like me lol

[@ze444]

Arcanist and Archer are absolutely busted in Squadron.

[@enfys9833]

For the more boring things I find maintaining interest/fun to be something I do by... Well, "memeing" on it (I usually dismount at Prae's special door to smack it. It's stupid and hilarious) or setting some ridiculous "challenge". The thing I do this the most on is Main Scenario roulette; Try to get away with the minimum possible mitigating as a Tank (invuln on the rooftop pull has been my first mitigation for Prae so many times), or get as much LB gain as possible while running a Healer by letting health drop to dangerously low levels. This does play havoc with the commendations I get, but it's worth it to somehow get three comms after YOLOing puddle after puddle for 30ish minutes. Some people just respect the meme, I guess ^~^ (I have never wiped in a Main Scenario daily, though I did once come close by being just a touch too slow at the end of the Gaius fight. Since then the friend I play with will sometimes ask me if I want to "get him comms by trolling through DF?". It has done wonders for his healer/tank related anxieties lol) ((the most egregious shenanigans are all Main Scenario. I can reliably Tank it without a healer and while I've never had to, I'm willing to bet I could tank it as a melee DPS))

[@iamsalamander]

Okay, but what's the funnerest way to level up?

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

That is something you must find out for yourself unfortunately! 😅

[@SoupyPupper]

NA players I highly recommend going to Aether data center for Bozja leveling. Its always very populated and you'll be getting skirmishes and CE's constantly. Easily got my Red Mage to 90 recently by running around there. (red mage farms rezzes in bozja, everyone will love you and want you in their party lol)

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Oh that is a good tip, make sure to check which DC has the most populated bozja before you start! 😁

[@ZZValiant]

I'd only suggest you go to another dc if your character is on Dynamis. I've seen Crystal and Primal have very healthy populations in Bozja: CEs consistently get to the player cap during the daytime

[@Narnia164]

What class did you start as?

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Originally I started as an arcanist 😊 but that was also back when they had dots and stuff to manage!

[@billy65bob]

9:40 speaking of the XP... Since EW, the XP reward for the HW and StB tribes suck too, and not worth doing beyond levels 52 and 63 respectively. ShB's isn't very good either compared to what it was; it's okay as a pick-me-up, but kind of inefficient beyond 77. EW's on the other hand is just way too good.

[@Fossil924]

Leveling in FFXIV takes little to no time or skill with your first character just follow the main scenario do your hunt logs and make sure you’ve activated levenquests but don’t use them save them for another job also jump in to fates whenever they pop.

[@JayBigDadyCy]

Every time i que for Frontline, i wait like an hour and then just withdraw. It never pops 😂. I wish it would. I think it's fun, but no one plays it apparently. And I'm on Cactuar, so not a low pop data center or anything.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

That is really strange! I've heard that primal is like the "pvp hub" of NA, so maybe it pops more there? Although for duty finder stuff it should really not be this difficult to get in, unless you queue at really weird times 😣

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

I mean all these strategies are for the game in general so yes it would of course. But as stated very early, if you have your main scenario quest to do still, you should probably focus on that one 😅

[@xboxgamerz22]

@CaetsuChaijiCh I reach level 19, by doing quests, but not able to explored much, do you think by doing more quests I be able to level up more faster and get better equipment?

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

@xboxgamerz22 focus on the main scenario quest, the one with the golden flame (it's name should also be found in the top left of your screen) It both gives plenty of exp to do, and locks MOST other things in the game behind it, so you have to do it eventually. This includes upgrading your class to a job (like a gladiator becoming a paladin) Make sure to do your class and job quests as well (name of these if any are shown right under name of main quest in the top left). Aside from this, regular side quests can be mostly skipped. The ones with a + in the icon means they unlock something, but can largely be kept for later if you prefer 😊

Even if my math for the initial 180% exp bonus is wrong, I have proven that the squadron battle manual DOES stack with the FC buff.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

I am not sure what to tell you, the squadron manual itself says "over writes company actions with similar effects", and according to what I know and can find, that means heat of battle from fc. Are you 100% sure there is nothing you overlooked? 😅

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

Actually, I can tell you the answer. SOMETHING is doubling the effect of this buff. That's why you turning on a 10% buff increased your exp gains by 20%, and then adding a 15% buff increased it by "another 10%", because it replaced the 10%(20%) with 15%(30%) 😊 They still don't stack! 😅

[@shadowofchaos725]

Hmmm. I looked through the equipment I have. I only have Menphina's earring that should boost it other than armory and rested exp. What in the WORLD is doubling the exp FC buff or the Squadron Buff? We do have a heat of battle level 3 in the stash that is the 15% that can remove all doubt... But I don't think it's mine to use without permission.

[@CaetsuChaijiCh]

@shadowofchaos725 if you still get 210% with the squadron battle manual on, but no heat of battle, that should just as easily prove they don't stack 😊
