5 Activities You Should Do EVERY DAY in FFXIV

Something to keep in mind though is not to burn out. There's truly no shortage of ways to level even if you don't do this stuff everyday so you have to balance future grinding with what you enjoy in the moment

a thing about the turn ins to the GC, starred items are double XP, the same as HQ items but you get a double double if you turn in HQ starred items. so its literally 4x the XP. make sure you always turn in the items with a star by using HQ items for huge XP gains. I would get like 9-10 levels in a single turn in for lower level crafting/gathering classes, and at least 2-3 for higher level.

I wasn't expecting that voice from a bunny, but those were some great tips! Thank you~

i personally leveled my Fisher to 90 by purchasing the requested Grand Company item from the market board. I never fished once!😂 Good video & tips. Cheers.

This may already have been mentioned, but if you have a miner remember to dig up a treasure map every day. Even if you don't do maps yourself they sell for a pretty penny!

Another way to level once you get to Shadowbringers specifically is through Bozja. It's a separate piece of content and you have to be a minimum of 71, but it's a fantastic way to level from 71 to 80 for only a few hours of work.

3 things: 1. Run your squadrons - they bring back seals which you can then sell the materials or get minion coffers which can bring good money 2. Do/Check on Island Sanctuary. Sell the materia or dyes for good, easy money 3. Extract materia from your gear. More easy money. Since about 1-2 years ago, the piece doesn't break anymore, so it is just a gil farm. Also, custom deliveries and maybe Wonderous Tails

Once upon a time, a few years back, I unlocked the formerly called beast tribe quests just for the sake of completing stuff. Told myself I will not be going to the next expansion until these were done. Then, while doing them, I realized there is some good lore and story behind, not to mention the rewards. But what actually sealed the deal for me to continue doing them was the chained side quest after you finish all ARR tribal quests. Personally it was so epic it made me think "Ok, this concludes the ARR ones, what about the ones in other expansions?" Pros from doing those are: gil, experience, materia (especially good if you ever decide to do ARR relic weapons because you will those), rewards, lore; Cons: maybe time? Overall a great video. Also, if you haven't unlocked Tails in Iddylshire or Custom deliveries that is also a good thing for gil and experience but they're more like a weekly thing.

also Levequests are another good way for fast leveling of gatherers and crafters, especially fisher, you can buy fish super cheap usually and can just blow through the levels in a short span of time. even better is the rewards can sometimes be higher than the amount of gil you spent on the fish and travel expenses so you can end up richer than you started out as, depending on how populated your world is.

Never forget your best friend Khloe! It's a nice passive way to get exp. The only thing to remember is turning on Restricted Party and soloing the easy extremes. Turn in the diary as any (battle) class. Huge exp and other treats.

I’m actually glad I didn’t do any crafting until I was well past finished the MSQ. Crafting and gathering in this game are so awesome, and they have Breathed so much life into the game for me. Bear in mind that this is my favorite game, I want it to last for a really long time!

That timers tip is life changing, i've spent so much time running back & forth or taking screenshots

I have crafters all at 80, gatherers at 90, and most combat classes at 90 so here's what I did to level. First, if you're leveling a job you don't like playing, you can do roulettes but I'd actually recommend PVP, as you get XP for the job but you don't actually have to play it *cough* black mage *cough*. Frontline gives a ton of XP by doing the roulette each day, and if you farm it the XP reward is still decent. You can also do Bozja from lvl 71-90 as well and it's a decent place to get XP. Using fragments and essences in there you can "fix" many of the jobs' weaknesses as well and make it more enjoyable to play, but keep in mind how grindy and monotonous it is. Crafters and gatherers, firmament is by far the best for leveling up to 80 with the exception of fisher. Fisher the best is ocean fishing every two hours. Granted, "best" does not mean it's fun, but it's relatively easy. Do GC turn ins daily, especially stars, then the rest firmament. Good luck!

In addition to all this i recommend gathering the most expensive treasure map every day and just selling it on the marketboard. It adds up to something like 250.000 gil a week for a total of 5 minutes of work.

I really do love the Diadem for passively working on gathering or miner, and the best part is you can get GC manuals and the food bonuses, pop them INSIDE diadem, and get faster exp gain.

Great video! One thing I gotta say that was driving me crazy during the video though, is right beside your inventory where it shows your gear, all those white dots for each gear slot means your spiritbond is 100% and is ready to extract materia from. :)

agreed, nice list. There are also these daily (well, i believe it is 18 hrs, but anyway) activities : - Use your gatherer to find a treasure map. - Send your squadron on a mission

Thank you! As a new player this video was really helpful! Im 100 hours in and can´t believe how much content there is. Im not even out of a realm reborn :D

I just hopped into the game, I tried playing last year but got caught up doing other things, had the urge to try again and I’m just taking my time with everything. It’s kind of intimidating with how expansive the game is but I’m just doin what I think is fun atm! Thanks for the tips!!!! Will def work some of these in to my little routines lol

Great video, and I'll take some of these into account but my eyes bled when he ignored the 7-8-9 in the mini cacpot Very minor thing but you can go for these too, 1-2-3s and 7-8-9-s

Thank you for making this, at 10k hours I just recently finished the ARR beast tribe quests.. get those does as soon as possible. Over all great vid and wonderful PSA for all the daily stuff thats needed!

as someone on the push to all 90's, yeah, MSQ and Levelling queues are your friend. Especially if there are particular dungeons you simply don't like or can't stand anymore after running them so much.

I love the MGP flying text 😂

Erik Satie gymnopodies number 2 What a delightful piece

i made an alt and leveled ALL crafter and gatherer jobs JUST using the Grand Company requestions. it took roughly 20-25m gil in all to do it. and took about a month. it was also during this i discovered that i could just pull up the list while at the market board as well. i felt so stupid running back and forth between the two before. i used to use the snip it tool and take a pic of the list so i didnt have to do the back and forth.

An addition to the crafting and gathering exp section, DO CRAFTING AND GATHERING BEAST TRIBES!!! Seriously they’re so easy and require 0 materials, and a Butt load of EXPZ

I’m not even gonna lie. There’s things I ~should~ be doing every day but I simply don’t find it to be fun so I don’t. I’m the player who changes my glam once a week even though I’m underleveled… then I just walk around in first person wherever it’s raining bc I like the vibes.

Using levequests: with 100 allowances at level 90 culinarian, you can craft and turn in 300 Tsai tou nouvou for a free million Gil. If you aren’t using leves to level it’s just free money

I remember starting AAR at launch and not having a lot to do post game. Keeping up with newer stuff is pretty easy for a veteran, but some of my new player friends can be overwhelmed with now a decade worth of content.

One small thing to note, the experience bonus you get from the duty roulettes are scaled tot he level you are when you cue for them, so claiming it yields a certain # amount per hour is a bit flawed. You'll get a TON more xp at level 89 than you would at level 20. it's all % based rewards. Then of course you get extra xp based off of the level of the duty you got randomly thrown into. Getting to Mount Gulg will give a lot more than Satasha. If you get unlucky and get cued to one of the ARR normal trials (ifrit/titan/garuda) you'll get almost nothing except from the roulette reward. To keep in mind!

I agree, turning in items for the GC is good during the beginning but then become more and more expensive as you purchase those items. I find that the best way to level crafting is through doing the Beast Tribe quests with the bird race in Gridania. As you level up your reputation with them, you can do more and more quests over and over for each crafting when your daily resets. I got each crafting from 1-50 very quickly without spending too much gil purchasing said needed items. The max equipment I believe you need to complete the most advanced quests is only item level 20-25. Also, getting crafting up to Level 50 will help you get hella gil during Heavensward since you can do those special crafting leves that gives out DOUBLE REWARDS with EXP and Gil.

You can also extract materia from your equipment once they're fully Spiritbound (colored white in your gear bar). I've earned a ton of gil from farming spiritbind pots and running the roulettes.

If you're doing dailies, it should also be brought up about weeklies Following the end of Stormblood on, you can unlock and do two weekly crafting/gathering turn ins from NPCs. There's Kurani over in red sea, as well as Khloe over at Idleshire. wait...is it Zhloe? One catgirl does weekly turn ins, the other does Wonderous Tails, which is another turn in, sort of

those are some nice pointers, me as a free trial user found most of these really handy! Have a like good sir

As someone who has 500hrs but has taken a hiatus this was a great and brief refresher of those dailies that are easy to forget 🙏

Your voice is so nice and soothing 😌 since there is maintenance im just gonna binge watch your vids thanks

The timers section was really helpful for me, thanks!

Also do the fashion report every week. In 66.6 weeks of just fashion report you’ll get 4m MGP and will be able to buy the newest most expensive saucer mount.

Thank you so much for this video! I came back after 5 years and I have been so lost on my basic tasks. Only re-learned about roulette yesterday when my FC mentioned it. At this time, I’m enjoying being a DPS floor main and trying to catch up on my forgotten past MSQ. 😌

I'mma be honest I fully forgot about MGP. Just didn't even remember it existed until this video reminded me.

Okay. Today I'm going to start my beast tribe quests. *A few moments later* Damn. MSQ got hands.

2 Add-ons I have: Retainers. Exploration mission are a good chunk of afk gold where focused quick ventures have higher gil return if you go for well-selling, good-prized mb items. Leves. Current best leve for effort per gil is the 84 CUL levequest "A stickler for carrots", and remember: HQ Trade-ins double the reward.

I've had a hard time getting into a grove with FF14, so this is going to be a big help. Thank you!

Just do whatever sounds good that day, its the best way to avoid burn out, there are 1000 things to do and still be pretty efficient lol i try and change it up all the time

Not a daily, but weekly thing. remember to afk against the cpu for 27k mgp from the verminion challenge log entries. you have to stop for a snack and hydrate eventually; feed your cats and dogs. might as well be losing to the cpu for easy mgp while you're afk anyway.

DO NOT buy gear to turn in into your grand company for XP. XP is good, yes, but you’ll waste a 100 million Gil on it. Crafting and Fathering is an MLM in this game. SOLUTION! Unlock Ixal beast tribe quests. They will quite easily let you level your jobs until you reach ishgardian restoration and superboost your leveling. You’ll grind ishgardian restoration for mounts eventually anyway. Better start early.

Might want to consider getting into a fete shell. A shell that keeps an eye on and alerts people when fetes are up. it's a half hour, yeah, but you get the present boxes, and 100 scrip for each one fully successfully done. The most valuable thing out of the boxes are the tickets. Use those to buy the dyes, which on our marketboaard, run for around 40k each. So that makes 4 tickets worth 10k each. Try not to oversaturate the market though when doing that.

The only roulettes I have incentive to do are mentor and frontlines. By the time you have all the bicolored gem stuff from fates and worked on some pvp goals, all classes are usually capped on XP before they even introduce a deep dungeon and that without ever entering a leveling roulette. I also skip expert roulette in favor of just doing 3 hunt trains per week.

Another good option for leveling up crafting is custom deliveries. It's a once a week 1-2 hour task. The craft job that turns the item in doesn't have to be the same one that performed the actual crafting.

Think of the Leves as this. You can get 6 a day, stacking up to 100. If you do them every day for a year, that is 2190 Leves. And if you get, lets say at least 4k profit each time, That is nearly 9m. And that is if you buy it form a market board. If you can gather your own stuff, that is even more. Especially if you make HQ items yourself and get around 9k to 10k each leve.

When you leveled pretty much all your combat classes through roulette and MSQ, never touching the deep dungeons, leves or PvP because I thought it was hard content...

beast tribes the most longest quests to do, thankfully tomestones come around with the beast tribes mount so I will only do ARRs when I look at achievement but its also satisfying when you see a tribe mount that you already have so you dont need to farm extra tomes. honestly only do the other beast tribes outside of ARR first they give good xp for your alts, especially for crafting.

Between the supply and provisioning missions and the tribal quests, I got my Blacksmith from level 1 to level 50 in the space of about three days, they’re a huge help

I am the person who kept running back from the Aftcastle to the MB because i didn't know i could check them. Thank you c: glad to have learned this while still in Heavensward

my retainers have been a miner and botanist since.. forever. while they have never gotten anything decent from ventures - I will say since I leveled my own BOT and MIN - they just use my specialty gear I outleveled. Never needing to really do anything special for them. Gathering and Crafting is a whole different level of grind for the game, and honestly, it's overwhelming even for me, who has 90's in all. The amount of things you have to gather to do every little thing - is just... mind boggling. You never think of it much while your leveling and combat experience playing - but if you wanted to do something like get all the achievements for them, or 'craft every recipe that is tracked' - like I am working on - there are literally THOUSANDS of materials to have. I hope, after I get them all checked off, to finally empty my retainers and own inventory of all the things I have gathered, and focus only on a few recipes I enjoy/make profit on making.

GC delivery mission is such an underrated tip. I leveled my crafter to LV90 with it getting ready for bunny tribe dailies and realized its own class story quest is still LV1 .____.

I’m not a party tank/healer so I use the open world dailies for them. Especially since I opened them and most are spread all over level-wise. Now I have gear filling up my armory. Trying to get it so I only have the 1 set of gear (working on 3/4 tanks, drk at 90) and the 4 weapons.

The ONLY roulettes you should not worry about are Trials, Guildhests, and Normal Raids. the amount of XP they give is NOT worth the time. ALL the rest are worth being done especially if you are or have someone with you who is the current Adventurer in Need. For instance, if you are a DPS and AiN is Tank, have a friend bring a tank and YOU WILL STILL GET THE AIN BONUS. Also, for Frontlines, you do NOT need to complete the PvP event as your job you are wanting to level. Just queue as the job you want to level and load in as that job and, once you are in, you can switch jobs until the match starts. You will still get XP for the job you queued in as.

I'm prretty new to FFXIV (lvl 55) and this is pretty usefull :) thank you for the tipps

It is absolutely eerie how close you sound to FextraLife! Uncanny!

Money or no I am not convinced by leves, at least as far as 50. They are so much more time consuming and so much less enjoyable than other options and often don’t give any unique rewards. Once you hit Mor Dhona and Whitebrim they will start to offer some materials for the Lucis tools and a couple of unique things like Uraeus leather, but even those have limits to how many you actually need. As long as you’re getting good xp from other activities they seem like a waste of time and positive energy.

It's okay, I'm 7000 hours in and still don't do my dailies, so it's never too late to watch a video like this.

Add the Weekly Challenge log to get more bonus XP for stuff you're already doing daily.

Thanks for the tip. Will keep an eye on this channel.

Yeah I wish I had known about tribal quests a long time ago. I didn't start them until I had been playing for a year. They really do feel like a grind but they're totally worth doing.

Do you use G-shade or filters? If so which one do you use? Your game look amazing.

So helpful! Thanks! :)

Also if you have a seasonal event or purchased costume set, you can easily get a score of 70 and 10k MGP every week from the Fashion Report.

Liked and subscribed! I needed this motivation in my life, so thank you. 😂

I'm sorry. I'm very new to the game and MMO's in general. What does it mean to level up two classes or miss out on exp? Just, switch between classes while doing roulette? And why does it prevent missing out

for delivery i sugest you looking the cheapest on server, fair warning for any player in balmung or new trying to joint, almost every glamour related item are very expensive

I find the best way to min max the crafter/gather classes is to make the turn in GC items and save your gil

For mgp the challenge log for lord of verminion there 3 rewards 1 for playing 1once, playing 3 times and then 5 times. U can fight a cpu and do nothing and lose fast

Dud, might be good tips but as a new player none of these make any sense as you are talking about systems without explaining what they do in the first place… Thanks to take that in consideration given these tips are the most useful for new or returning players…

I've been doing duty roulettes EXCEPT Frontlines back then, bc I had terrible experience with PvP in other MMOs. Turns out it was more fun than I thought. Now I regret not doing more of it earlier T^T

*gasp* you neglected ROULETTES?? D: YOU MONSTER!

I stopped doing crafting training when I heard Loporitts were being added and their tribal quests are crafter quests. I want to help the adorable buns to level my crafters!! And I’m eager to see what mount will be their top reputation reward. I’m hoping for a giant Loporitt

Great video Bubbins 😊 got my sub 😎 I’m going to watch some more of you now.

Another tip for the leves, if you are going to do the battle leves, don’t take the ones that cost 10 allowances, they aren’t worth it at all

Thanks for the video man

Ty for reminding to do my tribe quests today. :D

Personally I found the ARR Tribal quests a joy compared to the Heavensward/Stormblood quests. The final push to Bloodsworn is AGONY.

Shocked people take so long to level crafters and gatherers exp is sooo fast in this game. I did come from oldschool runescape though

You forgot to mention AFK in Limsa

What do you do with all your seals and scrips when you max them out? I am recently getting this problem and am having a heck of a time deciding what to spend them on once I've gotten relevant gear from them.

I'm buying 14 soon so this is research. Now I have to look up crafting and Tribal quests and Leves. This is University level learning curve. Ouch but thank you for this. L/s

I recently decided to give FF 14 a shot and started the free trial version over the weekend. All of this is so overwhelming...

Thank you, this is very helpful. I realized that I do some of this but far from all.

Hmmmm, if you are organizing you can max lvl 4 jobs with msq, I did, ninja, white mage, gunbraker and red mage

Good reminder to do GC craft/gather turn ins! I oft forget and get lazy ^^;;;

Gather a map every day with gathering some are worth a lot on mb or do them later with friend. Timer on it is at the same place of the other

Can anyone Help? I have a ff14 question for PC. I bought an MMO mouse and obviously im new to FF14 but how do i use my other moves. I just stand there and do 1-12 moves on ONE hotbar. How do i use the other ones?

If you still have time, you can join an A-Rank Train Hunt at least once a day... these will give you Sacks of Nuts (or Centurio/Allied Seals if you join a train for the ARR-ShB) which you can use to buy items like mounts.

I just started playing this game at the start of the week for the first time. Currently level 47 ninja and this is all so new to me hahaha am I missing out cause I haven’t started any of these things in the video yet?

It's nice to see that other people do the mini cactpot like me. Also also henlo fellow small bean creator i do art! and i dont know if you have channel art and i just put up my commission sheet for February if your interested. if not thats also chill i loved this chill video.

thank you for the vid, good advice for a noobie like me. Here's a like and subscribe. also thank you for the new music :3

Just came back after 2 years, all my keybindings are gone etc etc. I was in stormblood. Should i just start a new character? Even tho the grind took so long i had couple of burn outs

Great video, cheers

thank you
