What Job are you going to main in Dawntrail?

Also don't forget, our preorder earrings are usable till level 91. They read that you get exp till level 90 but that includes all the experience in 90 up to 91. I will also be leveling picto day 1 to take it into the story 😊

Very nice guide and Checklist ! I had some of those already planned out but there's some that I didn't even considered :)

Awesome video! Thank you for the information!

Can add Guildhests, FATEs, and Levequests from the challenge log as well. Do all 3 Levequests of 1(and only 1) gatherer job, do 1(and only 1) crafter Levequests 16 times, then on launch, do 1 combat Levequest as the job you want. Boom, you get the turn in for both “Do 5 different types of Levequests” and “Do 20 levequests” at once

Awesome guide and wonderful insight!

great tips right here! i'm definitely doing some of those to boost my main job instead, i wanna avoid any and all spoilers so it's all in on msq for me but the same thing goes. The book + challenge logs strat are especially powerful as well as any exp boost you can get!

Thank you for the checklist !

This was definitely helpful bc I’m still on the fence on whether I want to suffer in bozja lol Thanks!! 🎉

Don't forget to put your warrior of light to bed for that exp buff.

A quick mention to anyone that is disregarding Bozja because "80-90 is slower". You are right it is CURRENTLY slower because the Armory Bonus is of 50% on the last 10 levels of an expansion. However with the new expansion, this Armory Bonus gets increased, so it will be 100% up to level 90, and then from 90-100 it will be the new 50%

Thanks a lot for that spreadsheet I had made my own but yours is much nicer.

To optimize time I'm going to queue for roulette's and while in the queue to THEN do the daily beast tribe quests. I've also gotten right up to the rank promotion. I'll be able to do 3, rank up, then do 3 more then furthermore after daily reset be able to do 3 more (while in queue).

I plan on doing fates while waiting in dungeon queues. Dps queues are probably going to be really long if you don't have a tank and/or healer with you.

This is some big brain maths, thanks!

Great video! Btw, it's Wondrous Tails and not Wonderous! I see this mistake often for some reason haha Small thing: For the side quests, they scale very poorly on exp. I will turn them in at lvl 80 for 80% exp of the level.

yeah I guess I should wake up before daily reset lol that’s actually super smart

There is a quest in ShadowBringer that is worth 440k which is more than the endwalker lvl 80 ones, assuming you haven't finished that questline. But it's the one's after all of the class quests.

I love the glam in this video! Could you share the pieces you used?

I decided to MSQ as BLM this time around just to get some mileage out of a glam I'm proud of so I'll probably use some of these to give RDM (my main) a little bump as soon as servers go back up and then just dive into MSQ. I think I'll really like Picto but I prefer to get a head start on getting MSQ done asap so I don't have to worry about spoilers as much

GNB main that will never change also DRG and VIP

It's wild how close to Dawntrail we are

Since I am going to go through Endwalker MSQ as Pictomancer, I will not be doing side-quests in those zones as Pictomancer will be Level 81 before I start the MSQ and she'll pick up all the MSQ so she will probably get to Level 91 as soon as she hits the final boss. However, I can do the side-quests on Viper since he will not be getting any of the roulettes early on and I want to focus on him too. ^_^

Made a post and then realized I misunderstood the video somehow (mb). Good advice to be prepped for lvl’s up.

100% going Picto. I remember Viper reminding me a bit too much of Ninja when they first revealed it... and the media tour stuff didn't really impress me very much. This isn't to say pictomancer is the most original thing or whatever, but I think it is interesting as a concept and the stuff they've shown looks like it could be quite fun.

Wanna add, there are a couple more challenge log entries that could be super worth the effort. Levemetes can be set up so you can get 30% off one from challenge logs and then ignore them after that. (19 leves, makes sure they have the same 4 panels) as well as an extra 10% from 1 Guildhest. Probably not worth it if there's actually a queue for this one, but not terrible if you can get in and get out quickly. FATEs will also reward a cool 30% for doing 10 of them, so while you're waiting for your Leveling queue to pop, go ahead and grind those out. You can do 4 in advance if you wanna be absolutely sure you finish these up. Between all turn-in and challenge logs (WT x2, FL roulette x2, Leveling roulette, dungeon logs, guildhest log, commend log, levemete logs, FATE logs, Arkasodara x9, Pixie x9, Gold quest x23) you're looking at roughly 7 levels worth of experience, I think? If you're scummy enough to do the quick Bozja strats for early levels, you could easily be ready to go like an hour or two after daily reset, I think. It's gonna be interesting seeing how fast I can try-hard the 80-90 level progression.

I highly question the value of queueing on leveling roulette as dps on launch. No matter the combined daily + challenge log bonus, it'll probably be more worth directly doing trusts or going into Bozja.

Im gonna have to try these but wouldnt doing bojza just be an easier option? Well ig there wojt be people in there cus of the dlc but it might be

As a side not if the queue times for dps are too long you can always duty support some runs.

I'll admit that I'm a bit confused about the side quests step. You can only turn in quests on the job that you accepted them on, so does this even work?

Tip: you can pre-make a level 80 gearset for PCT/VPR, use a caster/NIN weapon. Then come launch just grab a weapon and equip it into the set. Doesn't save much time, but its a good confirmation you have all the required gear in your crate.

What's your opinion on doing bozja/zadnor at any point from lvl 80-90

DRK all the way, Going straight into MSQ.

Given the starting time of maintenance, Challenge Log entries are worthlessness to work on beforehand. Maintenence is on the 26th, which is Tuesday, starting at 2 AM PDT, the time of weekly reset.

Question - PST reset happens at 8am. All times zones reset at the same. Wouldn’t EST reset at 11am?

So u did all the stickers that it would let me get on the book how do I like them up tho their scattered

I will do sch/smn first I mean did you see that fairy dress that came out of no where for SCH?😭 then will level up picto chan and then one of the tanks.

This is the first expansion going in that I have NO idea what I want to main...which isn't a bad thing. I am leaning towards WHM with either DRG or VPR as my alt content jobs...and picto for fun...but now I want to play them all...heck.

I dont think you should wait until 89 to use the book. First because Level 80 to 81 is the worse: you have to do Lv 79 dungeons multiple times and get a very low amount of EXP from them (Unless you gonna do other type of stuff like the side quests etc) and Second because when you are Lv89 there is a Lv89 dungeon for you to do and it gives a good amount of EXP, it's actually the easiest level. The lowest amount of exp from dungeons comes from doing the dungeon 1 level lower than yours but not having enough level to do the next one, so for example, if you are Lv82 you can only do Lv81 dungeon and cannot do Lv83 dungeon yet. So I'd either use the books at Lv80 (if you dont have other sources of exp pre-farmed) or Lv88 to get to Lv89 and do the last EW dungeon.

Did you know you can also store 16 large scale leves from foundation as well as your 29 quests? While the experience isnt great you can turn this all in to one npc while you que

dont forget about bozja u can hit 90 in about 6 hours if ppl are in the zone

what top is that for your glam?

I wish I wasn’t so lazy to do half of these things 😂

What is the glam you have on?

lol i cant decide on maining viper or picto lol

Time to finish my last sidequests to prepare for try harding~ oh yeah

I thought you could only turn in side quests on the job you completed it on?

Bozja is 100% the way to go for 81 - 85 can get to 85 in like 3 hrs. That’s my plan then do the other stuff to get from 85 - 90

Viper main 😊

make sure your doing both fae and the elephants tribe quest the fae still gives good exp

You leveled Picto so faced they became a Viper. D:

no mention of bozja? that place is hella good for xp

i really wanted to play this game so bad but living outside EU and NA is makes me harder to purchase this game for months!

With friends, submit chloe x2 to get to 81, then do dungeons with your tank/healer friends to insta queue. Without friends, bozja. It’s just way faster and ignores the queue time and then you can hand in chloe whenever you want. Idk if the quest thing works cause I thought it’s whatever job accepts it that gets the exp but if works that’s cool too.

Eureka Orthos gives 100k+ per mob kill. Did you look into it at all?

Why would you not turn in the first WT on the 28th? You can pick up another that day and complete it then turn that one in at 88 after the reset tuesday and still get another. With your method, you lose a book unless you get to 88 before reset

Meh, i'll just knock out some yellow quests and have a book prepared for turn in

my plan simple get both Jobs and do MSQ. I'm I running them to 90 Nope I have 2 years they get there by the first 6 months.

The challenge log is largely worthless because you will do these if you plan on running dungeons anyways.

The game and MSQ won't go anywhere. Don't feel forced to rush.

bro didnt even mention the southern front wth

Not sure why all these videos about getting to 90 and 100 ASAP are being posted. With only a couple hours of play a day you can have all jobs to 100 in under a few weeks ... and then complain you are out of content before savage content is released. Every expansion since HW has been the same.

do story on one class, spam dungeons on the other made a better guide for you in less than 2 seconds of reading for you guys
