Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

Okay, anyone have any suggestions to leveling sub 50? Typically I would run PotD on my lowbies but holy shit that queue went 45+ minutes last time I got the 30+ minute notification on queue.

I looked up a few guides and most are unhelpful "Just do leveling queue!" but thats shit xp after 1st queue.

Free Company NPCs.

You can level them up, choose which classes you want to use and customise slightly. You also have abilities to command them so you can force them to double pull like real players would.

Once you get it set up it's fast exp. I levelled every class from 1-50 using this method.

This was before the new Duty Support stuff so not sure how that compares for 1-50.

50+ I used Duty Support for DPS and queued normally for Tank/Healer.

Really low levels before dungeons are open, do the hunting log or whatever it's called.

sub 50, the....thing where you take a squad of NPC's into a dungeon, used to be amazing xp. but it's not worth 'setting up' for one class. you have to build up your guys, and class them well. and build a squad just right. wacky fast xp, but setup.

Yeah it was worth it for me because I literally levelled every class to 50 in a few weeks all at once and now have PTSD from those dungeons, luckily I only see them if I do leveling roulette.

Is the XP you get from the frontlines queue different than what you get for directly queuing in the PvP menu? because I got like 20% of my level in 35 for a frontline daily after I finished my first daily. If PotD would pop that would be infinitely more XP.

Or are you talking Crystaline and Rival wings?

You only get the "Bonus" EXP once a day for any DF Que.

After that you can run the highest dungeon you have available, either with Trusts, or the grand company vagabonds you have access to.

A few other tricks, for the ARR Classes every 10 lvls you will unlock "Hunting Marks" they are spread out over the 10 lvls you are currently working on, you only get to up to 50 with them, but if you are close to a lvl they are very easy EXP especially once you can easily just warp around to the myriad of areas it sends you too.

If you honestly don't want to deal with Grand Company stuff, the Trusts are actually pretty good considering, you can't pull wall-2-wall with them but maybe in some areas you could(If you are Tank).

POTD is honestly fucking boring, but if you want it is possible to solo 1-10 in bout 25'ish minutes(if you get lucky with a "Lust" Pome save it for the floor 10 boss, it melts thru him)

Japan Fan Fest tonight at 8pm EST. Will get full trailer reveal, 2nd job reveal (magical/casting ranged) and a lot of details on 7.0.

I won't be shocked if the caster ends up being some nature based one, like a druid. The prior fanfests kept talking about the New World having some type of nature thing going on with some of the cultures.

For other guesses:

1) They'll go into more details on the trial and raid series
2) Housing stuff preview (they talked about raising the furniture limit previously)
3) Female Hrothgar reveal
4) Graphics revamp redo again - YoshiP will have learned to not spend 15 minutes trying to demonstrate the shadow difference on a Lalafell

Yeah I assume they'll come up with a unique name for it, but maybe it'll be a tie in to a previous FF nature based job.

Lol holy shit, it actually was Pictomancer

Wtf is this Cyberpunk ass city? Allagan??

And now Ishgard restoration in Space. I'm here for it though lol

So much for just the beach vacation expansion. Wonder if it'll be some Allagan random thing or actual bread crumb trail to next big multi expansion story.

The job looks.. interesting..

I think they mentioned they will be laying down some of the plot for future expansions. Some ultra technocity is a pretty big thing - outwardly it looks like more advanced Allagan. Since we will be going to Mericydia at some point, I wouldn't be shocked if it has some relation to Allag.
