Learn from my mistakes, level up FAST following these tips and tricks!

[@muajin]

Does the type of landmark matter?

[@muajin]

would it be a good idea to build 3 workshops asap?

[@TheMooseFromTheRoom]

@@muajin No, as of now the landmarks does nothing but give you a bunch of xp

[@TheMooseFromTheRoom]

@@muajin Yes, focus on building 3 workshops, before the 2 granaries. Get the workshops up and running asap to maximize the xp potential/cowries gain. Remember to look at the supply/demand of the items you plan on crafting AND set an order so you gain efficiency increased (this is done by having items of the same type (woodwork, food, ect) produced after each other, but it cannot be the same item ei. potion -> potion -> potion. Go for something like necklace -> chair -> necklace. That being said, the granaries are still important, so you should get those going asap aswell to get the spruce you'll need later. I build 2 workshops -> 2 granaries -> last workshop, in that order and that worked fine aswell.

[@brkctrl]

@@TheMooseFromTheRoom landmarks actually increase groove. That helps you get more blue cowries

[@Al-ew6kd]

I found a spot that is in my opinion a little better... Coming out of your town there is like a lake, to the left of that in the river there is a bunch of rock nodes. In there you can do a path of 13 nodes that are beside each other. Thats the place i use to farm xp.

[@clintonwilcox4690]

That seems to be the number one mistake I've seen from KZbinrs who vlog on Final Fantasy XIV was that they bought glamour items with seafarer's cowries and then got stuck because they couldn't upgrade. As soon as I saw that I had to pay 1,000 cowries to upgrade my island the first time, I figured it was going to be like that several more times so I opted to just save all my cowries until I fully upgraded my island, then start buying the collectibles.

[@Drakatar_]

Tip that I've been using: Dancers at lvl 90 have 3 dashes, which seems to be the fastest way to move from node to node. Reapers are the better alternative only when you use dashes whenever they're up, but if you alt-tab or take breaks than dancer is the better one.

[@PeninatorSS]

I think ninja shikuchi is better, but the passive speed doesn't matter because you have sprint and sprint overwrites it

[@Gameshunter92]

Reaper is actually the better choice. Hell's Ingress is at a 20 second Cooldown for 15 yalms, 5 more yalms than dancer. En Avant is 10 yalms for 30 seconds recast. Not counting the 3 initial charges, Reaper gets 1 teleport more and further away than dancer every minute.

[@MairnSA]

@@Gameshunter92 Peloton stacks with Sprint for a minor movement speed gain, so you need to take that into account as well. It probably depends on what you are harvesting, I have found Reaper to be useful for routes that have an infrequent 15+ yalm gap, and Dancer more useful for a route that has small gaps, like the hemp farm on the east side of the island.

[@Drakatar_]

@@Gameshunter92 While true, remeber that Peleton stacks with sprint. In addition in order to maximize distance with RPR you'll have to always pay attention to your cooldown, meanwhile a DNC can use one dash and not think about it for 30 seconds (or twice and not think about it for 60 seconds).

[@Gameshunter92]

@@Drakatar_ Peloton never stacked with sprint, don't know where you got that from xD

[@kidfrom1981]

Protip when farming: - Make this macro: /ac "Duty Action I" /lockon /automove /micon Sprint - Then keybind Confirm (under System tab of the Keybind). 1. Find a decent farming spot. 2. Click keybind to target the nearest node. 3. Click macro. 4. Once near, click keybind again. 5. Rinse, repeat. PS: Grats on rank 10!!

Thanks for great videos! A question, when does thet ability to build a second granary happens? Im currenlty at rank 6. Also, renovating the buildings, does that affect gameplay or only apperance?

[@navyrayne]

Landmarks increase workshop groove , if you check it with 3 landmarks you'll see it's at 25 where it starts at 15

[@DaiNguyen-xv4vn]

I found this exact farm spot, nicely done

[@Voicelet]

I've been cycling between 3-4 decent spots (meaning not clumped up together like this but mount is not needed) to spread out the inventory, but mainly to keep my sanity in check.

[@YeOldeMaaru]

I'm glad to know I've been on the right track. I'm level 7 now, but I mostly grind while I work. Ez-pz, just time consuming! I love it :) Thanks for the videos!!

[@mrkazen247]

Landmarks add to the workshops "Groove" level. I don't know if they provide different amounts of groove, but its worth stating in the video

[@TGCidolfus0830]

how does your route stack up compared to the sugarcane loop around 17.5 17.5, is the one ive found and been using when i've had a chance to grind

[@mythic_ael]

Are there still only workshops and grainaries at that level? I don't know to build a second grainary at lvl 7 or wait if a different building unlocks soon

[@jazae3006]

If you go to your challenge log and look under the "other" tab, you'll see that there are two challenges you can do for 2k Seafarer's Cowrie. If you're power leveling, then you've probably already completed it.

[@eorzea_idle4421]

reached rank 10 too today, i wonder how to unlock the last area upgrade think time will tell if its cause of the missing garden upgrade or the workshops not on rank 3 yet^^ or if its not in da game yet :D

[@snaplash]

I thought we could fly on the island at rank 10. Edit: Just reached 10, and I can fly now. Also, you can have a max of ten gathered nodes. If you're running a loop for a certain item, when you gather the 11th item the first one respawns. So, count how many you pick in the loop and return to the start point after your reach 11. If there are less than 11 of the needed items in the loop, pick up enough other items to pad it to 11.

[@rahnes2807]

if no one's told you lately, you're a badass. THANKS!

[@reshypoo9447]

FYI to anyone who doesn't want to rush: There's really nothing after rank 8 to rush for. Another landmark for fractionally more seafarers from workshops, and flying which is nice but only really unlocks an extra farm animal. You will casually hit rank 10 by next weekend so long as you operate the workshop efficiently, and complete the new stuff as it comes available. Keep in mind that once you hit rank 10, you will no longer get experience from gathering, afterwhich doing so will feel far more of a chore.

[@ioverslept.]

Also for rank 10: an outfit, mount and extra blue cowries reward (5k i think?)

[@reshypoo9447]

@@ioverslept. Right, there's also the fountain for those really keen, but these are cosmetic and won't assist in progressing the island, and will be there when you reach rank 10 regardless of when. Whereas prior ranks up to 8 unlocked methods of gathering, and upgrades to buildings and plots. Not having these will mean losing out on seafarer earnings.

[@kirablackwolf6220]

the green coins are "just" for the materia right? there is nothing else we can use it for?

[@ColeEvyx]

Far ad we know there isn't anything else from that vendor. Maybe hopefully in the future they Wille xpand it though:(

[@Starnech]

You'll need 1500 seafare coweries for the 2nd expansion for the Pasture and Garden.

[@Starnech]

@@annoxshishi-za2574 If you have the landmarks they increase groove with the workshop which in turn increases production. That get you more blue coins. If you have granaries the landmarks increase how much your workers will bring back from explorations. If you want to increase maximum blue coin output you need Efficiency bonuses and chaining them together.

I am honest, i am not sure that there IS anything to enjoy. Its mindless grinding one way or another. So honestly i am doing it to bridge time and one i got the glams never touch that with a pole.

[@TheRealChappie]

Okay so originally I wasn't going to comment on your videos, original I think you do a great job overall of explaining things, however I must point out that some of your information is just straight wrong. I am about halfway to level 10 in my island. I leveled up to 9 maxing out both the animal stables (pokecenter) and cropland. When I dinged 9 I was given 2 quests from both mammets to create tools and give them to automate caring for the animals and crops. Once after that a few workshop runs later I hit 3k cowries, and was prompted to make the tools to unlock the final landmark area. I farmed the 2-3 mats I was insufficient on to build said landmark Came back 12 hours later, collected that, crops and leavings. Completed the vision for 'Hideaway of your dreams' got 5500 island xp and 6k cowries I'm now at 26,781xp at time of posting out of the required 41k to hit level 10.

[@Nimoot]

The fact that you didn't go over 10 minutes... Highly appreciate that. 🙂

[@TheMooseFromTheRoom]

I'm half way through level 7, but just doing what I thought was logical and seem it wasn't that farfetched :) Although I have more important things to do than going the hardcore grind way to level to 10, by simply gathering mats, guess I just wont be max level as fast as some xD I would like that there were more customization for the housing.. Its kinda bland and would be nice if one could put a personal touch on it instead of this standard look/interior decor

[@Kpaxlol]

it really sux because that's kinda what we got promised. Our own personal island.When in reality everyone's island is mostly the same except the pets...

[@TheMooseFromTheRoom]

@@Kpaxlol I kinda get the feeling that they held back on that so people would still do housings instead. Dunno if that's just me? But as someone who don't have a house or are in a FC with a house, the island could have been my way to be able to build my own little spot. But, yeah, as you point out, only difference from other peoples islands are the pets and locations of the workshops, granaries and landmarks.. Which is really not that much and a damn shame.

Its meant to play in a relaxing way its just mmo people doing mmo stuff. I'm no better tbh but play at your own pace dont feel forced to min max.

[@bate01071]

In case people that are considering doing this content are like wtf this is nuts grinding like this, you don't need to in order to level if you want to take it slower. The leveling benefits you get from gathering crops, gathering animal leavings, crafting/upgrading tools and facilities, and waiting for foraging expeditions and handicraft production with the workshops is super beneficial to get large chunks of experience, but all of these methods require you to wait real world hours or in the case of crops, 2 days. If you do some gathering and set these up and then wait, you can level in a decent period of time without hardcore grinding. Just in case you are wondering if this content requires you to no life it to get anywhere:) This is what I am doing and I am at rank 6 after 3 days and close to rank 7. This is of course only possible if you have not spent your seafarer's cowries on glamour from the get go.
