I was half expecting the failed experiments to involve the defensive glamour, not just "Blitzen has seen the Scrooge in your heart, and will not condone these shenanigans."

I enjoy every time there's just a normal animal in this game, tbh. I should have the seagull minion out more.

Yeah, they've had regulars and teams of organizers, but there's no public master list of contributors. Public count of known people involved with the channel (even through a single rip) is over 1,100.

Is there a way to know what average item lvl I need to have for 6.3 raids and such? Like is there a pattern I'm ignorant of?

Aglaia required 565 and dropped 590 when tomestone gear was 590. Current tomestone gear is 620 so I'm gonna assume the raid will need 595. That's the ilevel of the current endgame dungeon, if you're trying to get up that high in advance.

Full gear from the current final dungeon is generally the requirement for the new non-MSQ stuff in the next patch. Which is helped by the new MSQ dungeon having higher ilvl.

What are some fun ways to level alternate jobs? I love this games approach to level different classes, but after finishing MSQ through 6.2 I’m having a hard time finding “productive” ways to keep playing. I have a few lvl 80s and would be excited to play more of the jobs but they seem to hit a big wall in the lvl 40-70 range the way I’m going about it. Right now I’m working on an Astrologian - my first healer job and pretty fun. Feel like I need some advice to broaden my horizons. Any recommendations for different types content that can be done with pre-80s?

the best way will always be roulettes, though you run the risk of getting tam-tara/crystal tower 5 times a week that way. roulettes are fun if you like dungeons/trials/etc though there's also the deep dungeons, first one is in quarrymill and has 100 levels you can do for the story which will give a fair amount of levels at 70 you can bozja i guess?

1-30 every roulette they let you into + hunting log (yes even guildhests because they're so loving fast even if it's only like 10k exp tops) 30-41 is the start of the roulette slog (don't sleep on the daily Frontlines it's like half a level) 41-50 roulettes + ARR beast tribes 51-60 you can do palace of the dead but I would just roulette + HW beast tribes 61-70 you can do heaven-on-high but I would just roulette + StB beast tribes 71-90 bozja and yes I did say ninety it's that fast

Queue for your highest leveling dungeon, but not the level X0 endgame dungeons, those reward basically no XP. Fill the queue times with FATEs, side/daily quests, gathering/crafting and daily hunts. Or do deep dungeons (1-60, 61-70) and Bore-ja (70+) if that's your thing  .

the key is that it feels slow because while the actual boss fight fates are p. cool and good, everything else is literally just a brain melting fate grind

Doing your daily Hunt targets while waiting for queues or doing tribal quests during 50-90 (the ARR ones don't give EXP, but the Hunting Log takes it's place instead) is something to keep in mind, too. Especially from 80-90. They range from 33-23% (X0 to X9) of a level in the other level ranges, but 80-90 they're worth 50-30% (80 to 89) of a level.

Leveling up your grand company rep enough will unlock the Adventurer squadron, a precursor to trusts group of customizable npcs that tear through some dungeons super fast and basically ignore all the mechanics. It takes a few time gated days of missions to unlock them last I checked and they only have a selection of dungeons they can access but they're a decent brainless way to get 18-60 on alt jobs. Just look up which of the available dungeons are most efficient to farm, as some are much better than others. Also heaven on high is the lvl 60-70 Stormblood iteration of palace of the dead, if you haven't burned out on that yet.

The key to leveling alt jobs without getting bored or burnt out is to not be in a hurry. Do your daily roulettes, beast tribes from 70-90, (you can do them from 50-69 if you really want to but the XP/level chunks per time is substantially worse) and then do something else with your time. Grindy mind-numbing stuff like Bozja or repeatedly queuing for the highest available non-x0 dungeon should only come into play if you're trying to get that job to 90 ASAP for some reason.

One thing about the game that I'm realizing as I close in on all 90s is just how many loving poetics just the roulette give you. I think I have 3 or 4 HW relics worth of materials in my bags because there wasn't much else to spend the poetics on. It also helps to level in "sections" based on role, armor the class uses, or whatever. The slog of getting everyone to 50 just so I could condense all my low level piecemeal gear into poetic armors took a lot of taxing mental comparisons on gear away completely. The sad part is I only have two "you attain level 69!" messages left.

I cant level a job one after another in the same category, leading to a full three retainers full of low level poo poo for something ill level much later. Every year I keep saying I need to dedicate a day to clearing out poo poo I can easily get again but I just get another retainer...

I never made it past the first zone of Bozja because the FATE grind was too boring (I say this as someone who finished the ShB and EW Shared FATEs) and anytime I entered a CE I spent 99% of it dead

My wife and I just started playing this, we're like level 20. It's surprising how frequently the game wants us to split up though, constantly telling us we can't advance while in a party together. When/does that let up? What aspects of the game are going to let us just hang out together instead of sending us in opposite directions for quests? It feels like unless we accept exactly the same quests at exactly the same times one of us winds up without much to do while the other is being tasked with picking literal garbage up off the ground for lazy NPCs who can't be arsed to bend over. What should we be looking forward to? I guess is the question. I haven't played an MMO since EverQuest and she hasn't played any other than Gaia online (lol)

the MSQ is basically a single player FF jrpg, so that wont stop until after you beat it really. Trials, Raids, other stuff is all group based.

The actual story and progression is a mostly solo affair and that doesn't actually let up ever. Your grouping will focus primarily on dungeons, trials, and related instance content. Almost all questing is personal. The experience as a group is mostly social instead of collaborative unless you do raiding and such.

Yeah talking about the story beats is how you'll play the msq together basically. Side quests (bronze) are for flavor, not exp. Blue Side quests are unlocks and recommended you do. When I ran through the MSQ with friends one of us would always be a little farther but we'd wait to do the next dungeon together. You'll unlock an epic shitton of dungeons along the way, that's how ff14 does its story, the dungeons are a part of it

It's surprising how frequently the game wants us to split up though, constantly telling us we can't advance while in a party together. You'll get instanced solo quests often throughout the MSQ. So it never lets up as long as there's story to do. quote:What aspects of the game are going to let us just hang out together instead of sending us in opposite directions for quests? Dungeon and raid content will let you party up and you'll steadily unlock more of those things as you level up (dungeons and trials are at various points in the story, with optional content mostly every ten levels at 50/60/70/80/90; don't be scared by the "Hard" in some of the names, as nothing with "Hard" in its name is difficult). The story will make you do a 3-part raid at level 50 and then the 60/70/80/90 raids are all optional but should absolutely be done by everyone. For "hang out together" content, there are things like treasure maps and hunt trains (which are huge groups of players who sweep through zones murdering overworld bosses, but are mostly in endgame zones). You can also join a FC if you're not on the free trial and get the social aspects of a guild
