How does leveling up all the Jobs on one character work? I know you can have a set of equipment for each job but like... if you already completed all the quests in an area, are you limited to the Job-specific quests and grinding monsters to level up?


Healer and tank can just spam dungeons and do daily dungeon roulettes for bonus. Dps can do FATEs while queuing for dungeons. Fates are like repeatable timed open world quests that you can find in all maps with monsters pretty much.

Then there are for each class hunting log you can do once up to lvl 50 that gives bit bonus XP. Then weekly challenge log. Like do 5 dungeons, you get massive bonus XP etc.

So it sounds like this game is all about the dungeons... are people understanding when you're a complete newb or does the game make it pretty straightforward?

Thanks for the answer. STILL ON THE FENCE FML. I want something that has a sense of adventure to it but I don't know 100% if FFXIV has that. But then I don't know if most games have that any more.

You do run a lot of dungeons and trials (instanced boss fight), but imo this game's strong point is the boss battles, they are usually fun and starts like that early levels and just ramps it up. This is one of the few mmo games I recommend going in blind for everything, maybe not as a healer or tank.
When you are new, you get a sprout icon beside you so they know you are new, besides it's the ppl with Mentor icon that you gotta watch out for, they are usually bad at the game for some reason. For new content, just say you are new and ppl will explain essentials.

In my opinion FF14 has a sense of adventure, but you kinda gotta get into it and the story and such, but this may differ for people. Just don't expect to be end game raiding in a week, honestly recommend taking the time to progress as a first time player.

I can't even contemplate "end game raiding" since I've literally only done one raid in my life (in The Secret World) >_>.

It is funny that the Mentors are the ones you have to watch out for, thanks for that heads up.

Oh yea I forgot there is something called Guildleves. You need allowences, you get like 2-3 per day, max 100. You can use these which are like repeatable timed quests to level up as well. But I recomend using them for crafters and gatherers.

Also there is a Deep Dungeon you can unlock at 30 I think. It's 200 floors where you always start as lvl 1, progress 10 floors at a time you meet a boss and save progress and get rewards like experience. It's also a way to level up. Then even later you can get a squadron, basically NPC's you can hire to send out for missions, at a higher rank you can run dungeons with them, and that can give a bit of experience too.

Huh, I heard about a system like the squadron system you're describing in other games, didn't realize they had it in 14.

There are so many ways to level up. I barely even do dungeons so I don't overlevel myself and I play three different jobs. I heard it gets a lot slower at higher levels though.

This kinda exists when going through the zones for the first time but it evaporates once you get to endgame, which is 90% standing around in a town waiting for your duty finder queue to pop so you can farm tomestones for the week, or joining PFs for EX primals or raiding. Then the zones are just places to get through fast because nothing in the world is actually a threat to you and you can just fly past everything.

Over-leveling isn't really a problem in this either expect for world stuff. Since you get scaled to level and item level when doing dungeons and fates and certain other stuff anyway.

Youve got dungeons and roulettes to run that get you good exp. theres also beast tribes if you have them unlocked.

If you have it unlocked, theres also the deep dungeon Palace of the Dead which gives you a lot of exp based on your current level. Deep dungeons are different though in that your gear and level outside dont matter, and inside the dungeon its based on your aetherpool stat which you upgrade with blue chests you find in the dungeon.

But simply put, its mostly roulettes and just queueing up for dungeons.

A catgirl petted me when I was crafting and we had a nice chat afterwards lol. Turned out to be from Argentina, found it weird to find another Spanish speaker so randomly.

I chose the fem Au Ra life. There are many of us but I very rarely see people with my face (face 2/top right).

Sometimes I hate how the lightning in the game can make everything in the game look horrendous but I absolutely love how my character ended up looking overall :P although sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice with skin colour.
