At that level, dungeon runs is probably your best bet. Palace of the dead could work as well if you don't want to do dungeons, and FYI apparently Crystalline Conflict PVP is overtuned for leveling right now and a great source of XP.

Yeah, a couple dungeons should bring you up there. I queued with a dude through Aurum Vale for his first time since he wanted to get over that hump and he went from 47 to 49 by the end of the dungeon.

Unlocks at L47

First quest to unlock is in Horizon (home of the Waking Sands), then you talk to a guy in a cave in the south of Coerthas Central Highlands, and youre in.

Thank you my friend. I didnt realize there were dungeons you could unlock outside of the MSQ

when you use the roulette you get bonus XP that scales based on the difference between your level and the dungeon level, so you always get roughly the same amount of XP regardless of dungeon base level. It's to incentivize people to sign up for the roulette which populates the queue with players so that new players doing low level dungeons don't have like a 5 hour queue time to enter.

Anything with the blue exclamation marker either unlocks something such as a dungeon, a raid, trial, a mechanic (like crafting), or is a story quest. Basically, you just wanna do all the blue exclamation marker quests you see.

The dungeon itself won't be much but the roulette gives mad exp because it gives higher level players a reason to do beginner stuff

How is your level at the same level as the MSQ? I was always overleveled, even with multiple jobs.

I am doing nothing but the main quest and a job quest every 5 levels so idk lol. The MSQ itself only gives like 20,000 experience a pop

It's possible to not out level content in that game almost immediately?

Like, do a dungeon run even just once.

Forgot to comment that after doing daily roulette and dungeon crawling I made it to level 49 so thanks to all of you for the help. Then last night I fought the general guy in the MSQ and got my ass kicked in his second phase. During my lunch break i dungeon-crawled again and got to level 50, then did the final quest in the dragoon line and have acquired il90 equipment so Im gonna try again when I get off work here soon

Generally patch quests give little to no experience because they're tuned to be "max level" for the time that they come out, so you couldn't benefit from XP anyway. You'll still gain enough XP to be ahead of the curve going into Heavensward, but FYI you're also entering the most boring part of the entire story. Hang in there, though, because Heavensward is wonderful and the patch content at least ends on a bang.

By strictly doing the main quest and occasional job quests, idk. Maybe they patched it where you get less experience or something

I'm gonna keep it a buck with you TC, you've got like 20 hours before Heavensward lol. Also you have to do the Crystal Tower now. Which is fine because they made it hella story important years later.

Still there's plenty of fun dungeons you unlock in the meantime. You also get to try 8 player raids and 24 man raids for the first time

Make sure you're sufficiently equipped also. And pray you managed to queueup with a competent tank and or healer because its on one of the hardest dungeons in my opinion.

With only 1 or 2 others that even come close.

a lot of the story is the dungeons/trials/raids tho
and there's not anything done from DF (aside from a few annoying trials) that should pose any difficulty really
it's all designed for casual players to easily clear

The Crystal Tower has a decent story attached to it that references FF3 stuff a bunch. One of the level 50 dungeons has a fun/creepy story attached to it about 4 adventurers you met before and their adventure gone terribly wrong.

Yeah the main villain is cloud of darkness in the tower right? Hey also this is off-topic but does anyone have an opinion on FF3? I never see anyone discuss this entry in the series.
