"Stats come and go, but glam is forever." You make a VERY good point! đ
I'm unironically more hyped to level up WHM and AST during this. The queue times will be unreal.
WHM is amazing fun, if not very direct (and some would argue boring). Having gotten AST to 80 so far... It's a piano simulator. But, I never feel unengaged!
agreed, i leveled my DPS these last few weeks, because i just know my Tanks and Healers will FLY through those Queues once DT is out.
They won't. Nobody relevant is going to strike. Do you honestly believe that people are going to refuse to play their favourite job on their favourite game during the first new major content in 2 years? I think not. Let's say 10,000 healers strike. There are 51 million players. so 0.02 percent of players are going to some how make a dent? not happening mate. Most of the people saying they will strike on the forums don't even play the game more than 2hrs a week.
Thank you for being a healer because I hate healing.
@@HikingFeral I think it has more to do with the fact that everyone is going to be playing DPS for a while since both new classes this time are DPS, thus the healer and tank queues will be fairly quick in comparison.
10:15 cat spotted.
Thanks Zep!
Regarding beast tribe quests, you can't prep the quest since the submission is locked behind the class you accept it with. So let's say you took 3 quest as a SMN the night before the early access comes up, you can only submit it as a SMN. Not sure what would happen if you took those quests the night before, then abandon it on the early access to take it again as PIC.
If you do fates, bring your Chocobo friend with you. He/she makes them go by faster
Plus, I often see the same players that complained on NN about FATEs taking too long also complaining that chocobo leveling is too slow once they lean into it.
Bringing our bird friend into FATEs is a great way to ease both!
@@johnkingsize VERY true.
They will be fast enough.
I am going to hold off on Viper, Picto, & Beastmaster when it comes out! I am going to level all of my other jobs to 100! If I don't do it at the start of the Expansion, then I won't do it! I am also doing my Crafters/Gatherers! I was going to rush the MSQ, but I am going to take my time! I am just going to chill! I cleaned out all my inventory & am down to 149 in the Glam Dresser! Chocobo is empty as are my Retainers! Early Access the 28th (like myself) people need to keep an eye out for the code from Square Enix too! I got a notification about it coming Monday!
beastmaster?
yea, beastmaster is a new limited job (like blue mage) announced for dawntrail, we're expecting it to release later in the expansion's patch cycle
29 Side Quests. Not 30. You need a spot for 1 quest to be able to unlock Viper or Picto :)
Also 1for the msq
@@aussiegirl4039 well, if you do Viper 1st you will have free log for MSQ so 29 should be fine. Viper should not be locked behind Dawntrail MSQ
â@aussiegirl4039 29 for side quest,1 for job quest. MSQ starts at 90.
@@aussiegirl4039 fresh msq is available comes friday, but you can avoid it a bit. only _accepted_ quests count for the 30 max treshold
it also means you have to finish endwalker completely; its MSQ is not over until the knapsack reward is stashed in Fashion Accessories.
MSQ status must say "To be continued..."
@@aussiegirl4039 If you want to go through msq with viper/picto you don't need 1 spot for msq quest.
"This gear will be...two dye...for." XD
Hi buns. Donât forget, the roulette and beast tribes windows will still be open for several hours the day of early launch. Meaning you can technically get in two roulettes and beast tribes worth of experience in a single day next Friday!
That's assuming people can get in before the reset timer xD I know things are set up a lot better now for log-in queues but I'm still going into this expansion expecting crashes in queue, and waiting around for hours xP(only to save my sanity early on; sorta, just incase haha)
What time is the daily reset?
â@@cali4niakrisI believe it's 8am Pacific time
@@ikeaira8701 while I am sure there will be some congestion. There has been a lot of stuff put in place.... plus I just don't see as many people trying to get on at once.... Biggest concern will be DDoSing Onslaught that has been happening... and if the server can hold up to the traffic since it won't be used to the strain right off the bat.
needed this so much as a returning player, thanks zep!
thanks for watching and welcome back!
Don't forget to use your fantasia and take off your clothes on your character if you want to change to the new race and not fight the queues twice in a row.
My smooth brain would have never thought of this. Thank you.
This is assuming you already own a fantasia. The free fantasia they'll give players comes from a quest.
So you'll have to log out then log in again if you want to use it.
Much thanks! Didn't think of this.
Oh shit that's a great idea dude that's actual gigabrain
Omg thank you for the reminder
I love your videos zepla. They really help me out. Thank you so much for uploading these. You have no idea how much these keep me on track.
i'm so happy to hear this! thank you for watching.
Coming back to the game after over a year I COMPLETELY forgot you could run things unsynced. I got a couple of books and thought I had bad luck with all the extreme slots.đ
Another pro tip: Shb Fairy tribal quest still gives above average exp for turn ins at 80. You can do both Fairy and Arkansondra at 80 and get to 50%+ quickly. Pixie quest only scales back on exp at 81.
I was thinking about jumping back on for the Dawntrail release, then you had to remind me about cleaning my Inventory!
> "Stats come and go, but glam is forever."
~ Zepla 2024
I am SO THANKFUL đ that I made myself go through inventory management. It truly made me feel cleaner & way more prepared for DT
Doing the pixie beast tribe quests is also worthwhile itâs a million xp for little work.
Glam is forever... until you fill up the glam chest.
I have under 120 glam pieces & its only been a year.
Mostly, I use class gear as glam pieces & I stick to blue for glam deposits in the dresser.
I try to marie condo my glam dresser at that point and sometimes give stuff to my retainer to hold.
It's all come full circle I am once again watching zepla guides.
If you primarily use a laptop/desktop I would recommend using the spoiler protection extension thatâs what I use to block spoilers for FF7
Thanks for the reminder about Wondrous Tails. Havenât played in a while and just started finishing off the MSQ. Got the book refreshed and almost full. Unfortunately only going to get half a level, but better than nothing.
Also consider saving character loadouts for abilities. Just in case if the update for early access/day of clears your load out!
I got everything to 90 in EW and lost all motivation to do duty roulette after I farmed out 9 relics and got BiS for my raiding classes. Iâm honestly just looking forward to having a reason to do roulettes beyond tank achievements again
Awesome video and helpful tips! Cant wait to play the new jobs!
Tip for leveling as well that I found super helpful recently was doing roulette's and dailies on even levels, and then doing the highest level dungeon on odd levels. It can always take longer for dps with queue times, but still found it to make the leveling go much quicker.
I have a friend who always advises people do it this way. It's especially important at the max level for the expansion you're leveling on, so at 50,60,70,80,90 good to do the roulettes because the exp isn't as good in those dungeons because they assumed you're at max level when they were new.
I'm definetely gonna use this guide, and my choice is Picto, as soon as literally everyone will be on viper first
Zepla: "I will never put spoilers in thumbnails or titles of my videos"
Also Zepla: "YOUR OWN PLANET?!"
Zepla telling me to clean my inventory me holding on to a hat I got at lvl 5 and refusing to let it go cause I have a better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it mentality.
one day youll be in a dungeon and all your gear will be broken but youll have that level 5 hat. and itll be all you need (this actually happened to me)
Love your content zep!!
Thanks Zepla, always the best videos.
thank you so much!! this means a lot to me!
Don't forget the newest deep dungeon! It's probably how i'm going to level depending on dungeon queue times
Bozja is way faster then Eureka Orthos for leveling to 90. So if you have that available that's the faster option.
@@belgariontheking1 Bozja, plus these jobs will have their job quests which gives some XP. It took me like 5 days I think to get from 70 to 90 on SAM this last week using Bozja this past week. At odd numbered levels and level 80 I would queue for the duties at those levels and then go back to Bozja at the other even numbered levels. It kept it from getting too monotonous.
Something that no one seems to mention in these videos which I had to discover for myself after wasting tomes last expansion is that you'll also be able to simply buy upgrade materials for the tome gear with poetics instead of needing the coins from the alliance raids or drops from savage. So if you've already bought several pieces of tome gear but haven't upgraded them it'll be cheaper to simply buy the upgrade materials and trade up to the higher item level than simply buying the fully upgraded piece.
I already cleaned all my inventory #clean.
The issue with the Zadnor area is not many people necessarily go there to farm fates and even on more popular servers it can be pretty dead. Most people go to the main Bozja area since there are more fates and CE's that pop there as well as higher density of mobs for crystal farming. There is pretty much at least 1-2 fates up at any moment you are in Bozja. Either way, CE's after lvl 80 give almost 800k XP while fates give around 300k in the Bozja area. Mix that with some duties, the job quests for these 2 new classes, as well as other XP gains and it should only take 2-3 days to hit 90 even at a somewhat chill pace.
As for clearing out bags, I had a lot of dyes and crafting items on my retainers that are available at the material vendors. I put some on the MB and others I just vendored. I desynth'd a lot of green and some blue gear and was able to sell many of the materials on the MB. So make some money while clearing the bags out. Now only one of my bags is full and it's a mix of crafting items, XP foods, hp potions, free company travel tickets, etc - so basically things I feel like I may need or want to do even while leveing.
The rush of new people will make the zones more evenly populated which will help you when leveling. Itâs how I got Bozja unlocked for EW. Good luck with DR though.
@@GreigaBeastDS Um, I'm doing a mix of Bozja and DR? I'll see if Zadnor is more populated, but it Bozja has been packed the last few weeks as people finish leveling for DT and Zadnor is still Zadnor.
Yeah Zadnor is quite populated, can confirm cause i've been there for the last few weeks.
Hey Hi, I'm a little confused by the Zadnor suggestion. Isn't that only effective up to 80, 81 at best? Don't the new jobs start at 80?
@@PyraiSage BSF and Zadnor are as good or better than fates for raw exp, and depending on your queues and how bad your party is, it can beat dungeons sometimes.
Hyped for Picto, but also looking forward to learning/leveling GNB, and finish leveling AST. Maybe WHM too :)
Get good, got it. Thanks, as always, Zep! đ€Ł
Assuming mtn dew citrus drink is anything like the stormblood tie in honeybuns it'll have a 4% exp boost instead of 3%, also you can only redeem one per day so start redeeming a few now if you haven't already.
Can't decide if I wanna Picto or Viper first. Leaning more towards playing with paint đšđïž.
Vipers on a train lololol I'm gonna think that every time now
I usually just stick to GNB/tank to go through main story and then start doing raid with it to farm new tomestone and endgame gear. The free time I have outside of that, I start leveling other classes with side quests and whatnot, but that's usually way after I finished main story and cleared extreme/savage for the week.
If you have a friend that normally drinks Mountain Dew, get those caps, The beverage item in game is an exp boost.
"glam is forever... as long as you don't get more than 800 pieces"
Hey Hi, I'm a little confused by the Zadnor suggestion. Isn't that only effective up to 80, 81 at best? Don't the new jobs start at 80?
For those who are able to or have a willing static, you can also grind out a weapon box or 8 books from e12s unsynced (or synced if youre a masochist no judgement :p) for the new lv80 weapons
The cat in the background đ„čđ„°
I am a caster preferer (rdm main) but viper looks more interesting to me than picto. not a fan of how it looks or sounds... but ultimately it'll be how well it plays though. that said... not prioritizing the new jobs. I'll be rdm for the story and then probably focus on the jobs that my retainers are so they can level up too (I have 2 min 2 btn 1 pld 1 whm 1 blm 1 smn. the gatherers will get leveled up by daily GC handins so it's just the battle jobs I'll need to actually work on)... anyways 0 rush on leveling though as we have 4+ years to go til next level cap increase lol
Since the challenge log reses on Tuesday, we'll only have Tuesday afternoon to do it before maintenance right?
Pretty much 24h before maintenance.
Thought you had to turn in the the Arkasodara and Fae quests on the job you did them on?
You do. She was just saying once the server comes online, go and do those quests on the new jobs before daily reset, so that you can do them twice.
The elephant jokes sent me. Lol
I'm saving all challenge logs so for the extra gains on Viper. If you get up early enough, you should be able to clear the daily roulettes before reset, and you can do those again after reset.
Shame Eureka Orthos isn't popular, thought a deep dungeon from 81-90 would be great for inbetweens but no one does these.
Not going to lie, when I redownloaded and logged in and remember I need to remember how to play and set up my ui it was pretty overwhelming and I was wondering how far behind I am on stuff, but this is helpful. At least 50% of that sounds familiar to me đ
Ok, but what do if you already finished every single yellow quest in the game for the zone story?
The fastest way is to get through MSQ first on a job already in game, so you can get the exp bonus. Even if you are going to main viper or picto, then you can always level them after. You have a month to level your jobs (on top of early access), so there's really no need to rush... Duty support is also really helpful. I leveled most of my jobs in Endwalker through duty support. I had all my jobs level capped within 2 months... I'm not rushing this time around though. FFXIV can get boring after leveling all your jobs. The more you do in this game, then the less there is to do...
You'd also level up the scions through trust system for picto and viper, now I think for EW dungeons they got extra bonus exp to lv 90. All of mines are probably around lv 83 or something currently.
@@rtbear674 I have all my trusts leveled. The trust system is a great thing to have leveled, because you can utilize it during latter patches.
I guess to level them quickly to do the MSQ on them is the reason you might wait to do that.
@@cutecats532 Yeah, if you know you are going to main one of them. But most people will try them out and decide this job isn't for them.
Cat is doing some cleaning.
Just FYI for anyone, Zadnor third area IS NOT the best for XP in Bozja, best for XP and alt leveling is actually Bozjan Southern Front all areas. Zadnor third area is the best to farm Mettle and get your Rank up to 25. So do Zadnor third area BEFORE DT launch to get your rank and honors as high as possible, then when the launch hits, go back to Southern Front and use your high rank strength to farm much more frequent and much easier skirmishes and CEs for the same XP amounts.
What time is early access? I'm on EST
I just hope the login situation this time around is more akin to Shadowbringers and NOT Endwalker. Waiting in queue to login for 10-30 minutes (maybe an hour during peak times) isn't too terribly bad when you're not getting disconnected all the bloody time and honestly things got A LOT better in Endwalker once they found that old 1.0 bug that was causing us to DC like all the time which just put even more strain on the login server because people were forced to keep hopping back in line. Personally, I plan to spend the entire first day leveling Pictomancer to really learn how it plays and to see if I want to actually take it through the expansion. I'll probably unlike Viper as well but I plan to level it afterwards unless I have a ton of extra XP to burn. My new expansion experience has always been that I don't need the roulettes for my story job as it'll get enough XP by just doing the MSQ plus some FATES along with the way paired with some sidequests that I typically grab in the first few areas. If I'm not in the mood for sidequests then worse come to worse I can simply run the leveling dungeon a second time and that ends up being plenty of XP which allows me to funnel my daily roulettes to whatever other job I'm leveling. I assume they're going to have role quests once again so I WILL need to level 1 job of each role anyway.
As long as we dont get bottlenecked by the duty servers like Stormblood and Raubahn Extreme.
Edit: I managed to get to the end of 6.4 before server shutdown and I read everything. Ended up prepping wondrous tails and stuff instead of finishing. I don't mind being one patch behind ,as I'm planning to level pictomancer anyway all friday.
Omg I didn't know about the maintenance and I still need to do all post msq đ
Last time a new job was released i would queue constantly for roulettes while doing fates and that got me levelled up super quick. So that's what i would suggest to others
If theres a actual healer strike i plan on maining sage, been playing it since last week and its been kinda enjoyable.
Maining PLD from ARR to ShB, then DRK in EW, I may actually main Healer in DT...just completely turn my playstyle around. Could be fun.
ohhh i forgot to prep gear for picto..... thanks for the reminder
thankfully i kinda half assed empty my inventory already
also take 29 side quests not 30 cuz you need 1 to unlock the new job!
i dont have Twitter, but here.. i timed myself cleaning all my bags and glam dresser.
I clocked out at.......... 5 hours, 36 minutes and 14 seconds.
GOOD. LUCK.
I'm here solely for the cat
I would like to point at side quests do not give a lot of xp... they actually give a very small amount compared to others. So it may not be worth it.... a lot of people this won't affect because they've already done side quests from leveling in the past.... also along side the Matanga Tribe Quests, do Pixie Side quests as well. Have them unlocked. Because all 3 daily quests for Pixies = to 1 daily for the matanga even at a higher level. So it will be like you have 4 Matanga quests instead of 3. I think they give like 386k xp each even after 80. So while it does get less useful as you get to 85, that is still a free 1m xp in like 5 minutes of work.
Something you didn't mention but I think are gonna skyrocket in price are retainer fantasia. Not only for people making hrothgal retainers but also all the fine tuning people are gonna want to do with the graphics update.
Is Eureka Orthos no good for leveling? I had everything maxed out when it released so I don't know how much EXP it gives.
Unfortunately it's less efficient than trusts and bozja.
The hype for the new jobs is real and my hype for earning tons of gil with materia as someone who isn't around for that long.
Lost my sprout icon 4 weeks ago and had to 1-90 all crafters + whm in 2 weeks. phew... was tough but "you are an addicted" achievement complete ;-)
Im ready đ
I haven't even finished Endwalker yet đ
Make sure you keep your character in a Sanctuaryđbefore logging off for that sweet Resting Exp Bonus to use later. My character is resting at The Forgotten Knight Inn instead of say a busy City State or Housing Districts where they cut you off from entering during high traffic (they use to for districts back then)! Also gonna resub after the 48 hour maintenance since I don't want to lose 2 days on my 30 day sub. Crysta already added to my account. Expansion hype! I wish everyone luck in the chaos.đ
I've been avoiding my inventory like the plague lol
Of course mute anything FFXIV related on social media to avoid spoilers. I'm out of town during the launch week so that's what I'm doing.
Cheers zepla
I mined 99 pigment of all colors to have the common colors ready and farmed skybuilders to level crafters and have some scrips for some rarer dyes
Yeah, I'm going to unlock Viper right away just to give him exp boost at the start with 1st book, beast tribes, side quest turn-ins and challenge logs and them I'm going to Unga Bunga my way through MSQ on my Warrior.
note... if quest stacking only 29 quests can be grabbed, you need 1 open quest slot to actually get the picto/viper job quests.
3:15 at lvl 90 the 1 line and 2 line reward adds poetics as reward as well; no causality or comedy tomes anymore from Khloe and it is in force already. 1 job at 90 triggers that reward scheme and fortunately it stays so for lower lvl jobs as well :)
fun part: because 2 lines qualifies also for the 1 line reward it is 700+1000=1700 poetics if you are so lucky and opt for both rewards
the unfortunate part: if you opt for all those poetics AND the 500 poetics for "i did WT at all" it cumulates to 2200 poetics which would violate the current cap.
your comedy and causality tomes also qualify for poetics, so maybe you convert comedy and causality tomes first AND go shopping for viper and picto and ONLY then you ask for WT rewards to rake in another batch of poetics
how would orthos compare to running dungeons? Faster than Duty Support I imagine.
Me just starting Shadowbringers MSQ.... all my jobs are 72ish though. I'll be enjoying Endwalker with my 'Path to 90' buff. I just grind duty support. Twice per job gets them to the next. Some don't need them because they go through the roulettes.
I actually put all my crafting mats on the market board and made a nice profit
Pictomancer puns, 321 go! Ill start.
"I'm gonna paint the walls with your blood!"
Duty Finder queue time as DPS: "A worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!"
Leveling fashion, the correct priorities.
I would simply do the MSQ. I am sure there would be enough experience to level one character.
Plus I need to do it as fast as possible to avoid spoilers from streamers. Is nice to see a stream of something you have already seen, not so nice when the story is spoiled.
I am already pissed that Square itself spoiled a lot. But I guess they have little option given that there no investment whatsoever on the new story.
She's talking about leveling from 80-90 as the new jobs are unable to do MSQ until probably 88-89
I just did a huge cleanup of my inventory. Anything that was worth less than 50k gil I threw on the marketboard. I can always buy it again if I really need it. No point in a 5k gil item taking up space in my saddlebag
Zepla honey, it is already extremely easy to level and even play ff14 do you really think we need a guide â€, They boost out the leveling to the insanely fast stuff to the point they can remove leveling whatsoever xD
the 144p cat in the background do be chillin
Is it bad that through every expansion i never used dungeon gear and used the poetics gear all the way to the next 10 levels till the next set of poetic gear? I realized when I got to 90 I could no longer do that, but i think 90 poetic gear is coming so maybe i shall make a return to my old ways. lol
also I think i just liked having all my gear stay as a matching set, even if they were glamoured over.
Nah not bad at all. Technical there is a small window after x5 where dungeon gear becomes better, but itâs not a big deal. As a tank/healer it matters slightly more for big pulls when everyone under geared, but even then itâs not a big deal.
At the level *5-*6 third dungeon of an expansion, a tank will take a big increase in damage and lack much health for the healer if they are still wearing starting gear of that expansion due to a big increase in armor by that point in the game for tank gear. Upgrading chest and legpiece covers the most of the stat difference. The augmented gear with poetics are not as bad but there is still a stat gain in upgrading gear at that level.
Me cries in having done all the side quests in the game already
I expect roulettes/queues to be insanely long due to the obvious circumstances of having 2 new DPS classes that so many people will be leveling lol, so I will probably spend the first few hours in Bozja/Zadnor leveling to 90.
How does one clean their bags and retainers?
Hard decision making.
Pro Tip, watch the Main Story queue movie during your lunch break. Its important to eat and stay hydrated.
Because this wasn't mentioned, I have a question for anyone.
Is it true that the bonus exp earring will work even if you are lv 91 or higher? Apparently, with duty roulette, you sink down, making you below LV 90, so the earring would work. Not sure how true that is.
Yes, any of the gear that gives an exp boost below a certain level will still work if you get synced down to that level.
Hey buns, I thought about doing deep dungeon eureka to lvl 81 to 90. Anyone knows if its worth it or nah ?
Love the vid as usual, but Zepla, the filter is messing with my eyes :( its kinda blurry
About to watch this video, but I'm guessing... double wondrous tails' preparation and bozja?
What I do for in game chat is set one of my tabs to only show NPC Dialogue and system announcements.
I'm planing on trying viper iv never been Good with casters might still main reapor though lol
I'm not even done with later half of storm blood.. đ
My WHM and RDM is sooooo ready!
