Final Fantasy XIV Leveling Guide - An easy start to leveling in FFXIV

Come watch me live stream MMO's!

I have always had a rule when playing Final Fantasy XIV Online, and that is that I always reach an expansions level cap before continuing onto a new expansion. However my process was long and tedious... Until now. Here is a guide to leveling that I wish I had understood before beginning Endwalker. So because I wasn't more aware, or as efficient and quick with leveling as I'd have loved to have been, I have made a guide, so nobody else has to deal with slog, and instead get to enjoy every moment with a quick and efficient roadmap to get the job done.

Thanks for watching, and be awesome

Only been playing for a few weeks and there's so much to learn! Also, I was dumb enough not to get the trial first. Been going through all your guides. Thanks so much!

Eureka doesn't give class/job experience, just the eureka-specific elemental exp.

Big thing I do every expansion, especially at a time like right now during patches, is grind every job to cap... And the way I go about it is rather simple and fast, just do your dailies then spam the highest available dungeon. I typically can cap a job in about 2-3 sessions if I have the time.

Good video, I'm sure it'll help plenty of newcomers in the future :D

Super high quality and very well structured video. Keep it up! Just started playing FFXIV yesterday. Guide was very helpful.

If you're in the position I'm in, I may have a helpful tip. I recently started over with a new character, and I had to go to a Preferred server because everything else was locked. I have three pieces of experience-boosting gear, and I've been getting the Preferred Server experience bonus, too. This has resulted in me being well over-leveled the whole time, with minimal grinding.

This brings me to where I am now, a level 82 Dancer at the very beginning of the level 70+ Shadowbringers expansion.

That's eight levels from the level cap (currently 90), with twenty levels of content to go. Even with no experience bonuses active anymore, I'm pretty sure I'll hit the level cap on Dancer long before I'm done with Endwalker. The MSQ is a great source of experience, and I don't want to waste any of it, so my plan is to level two jobs through Shadowbringers and Endwalker.

I'm currently grinding roulettes to level Red Mage, which I mained on my previous character, to level 71. I plan to use Red Mage for dungeons, and Dancer for solo quests. I feel like I'm better at playing Red Mage, so I'll be better off using that job for dungeons now that I'm at the level where people sort of start expecting you to know how to play.

And I'll be better off using Dancer for solo quests because I have that job so overleveled right now. It's really nice to be able to run straight to a quest objective without having to fight everything along the way. Also, continuing to level Dancer means I'll keep getting that Armory Bonus on Red Mage. And, I can buy level 80+ Dancer gear from the Market Board, leaving me free to use my quest rewards and tomestones for Red Mage gear.

That last point is something I'm working toward gradually, because I don't want to spend a lot of gil in the process. I've managed to get four pieces of HQ level 82 Dancer gear for prices in the range of 5k-10k each, giving me an average iLevel of 442 as a Dancer. This is already better than you need to finish Shadowbringers.

So, yeah, my advice if you're in the position I'm in is to think about leveling two jobs through Shadowbringers and Endwalker so you don't waste a lot of MSQ experience.

So what about duty support? I get it, the ai sucks dogwater but its better than falling asleep as a dps waiting on a q

[aceghostrus]

Yo man your guides are the best! I just started the game and aside from some hardware problems i am having a blast in the game!

[camolive]

I’ve been playing this game on and off ever since ARR released, and I’m still only on Shadowbringers, never quite being able to catch up

[chitlun]

I like your style dude. A new sub for thee squire and I’ll head over to Twitch for the craic anorl!

[locomo_mh]

what reshade preset are you using? looks incredible

[octapusxft]

Sadly the Deep dungeons have a very long wait time due to how few people do them.
Doing the highest level X1 to X9 dungeon is better EXP even as DPS

[rodolphesimon]

Is it okay to leveling solo a healer ? cause we do not have some dps for quest ?

[mufarreh]

I came here looking for help and I didn't find any

[sofiam]

that explains why i always see so many people afking in the main 3 cities

[bellidrael]

So basically, same as always. Do the highest level dungeon available to you (But not level cap dungeons), do daily roulettes.

Every month or two a new video comes out just saying these same exact things. I think a lot of people are looking for some secret way to level faster, and hoping the guide will show something like. Like in WoW, things like "By the way if you do Alterac Valley you can get 3 levels per win" a few expansions back. But those kinds of things don't seem to happen in FF14. It's pretty much the exact same leveling method one expansion to the next, and that's probably because lower level things don't get changed very often.

[pedroalgo]

your guide its too confusing, you say alot of game terms I am not familiar with as a new player. Please try to keep your opinions clear, I needed to know if i could either quest or grind to level up but you keep going on and on on too much stuff man.

so can you tell me if the road to buff stacks with the armory buff?
