Tips for levelling DoL?

Hello everyone; recently I decided I wanted to level all my jobs... but that also includes the crafting classes. Unfortunately I'm not rich at all on the game so can't just keep buying the mats over and over (I tried this and got even poorer!).

I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips at all for levelling multiple DoH classes efficiently? Is it best to level my DoL classes first to help with DoH? Thanks for any advice.

Edit: Sorry that was meant to be switched. ^^; Could somebody move this to the DoH forum and change title? Thanks!

Daily GC turn ins, beast tribes, and custom deliveries (55+ I think), all give tons of exp with minimal out of pocket expenses. It's a lot slower than just buying things for leves, but it's much, MUCH cheaper.

Yeah been doing the turn ins mostly; I guess that really is the best way to level them. Well... its gonna take a while then! I know there's the Ixal quests but compared to the Moogles and Namazu they're very... tedious. I got sworn with them a while back and didn't want to go back afterwards. ._.

The obvious solution to that is to gather all the mats yourself. That way you won't have to spend a single gil - just time.

Levees for most you can buy all items ftom vendors. Costs toughlty 250k per 10 levels from 50-70, cheaper at lower levels save up 100 allowances, duting that time save 260k and uour good

How long does it take to get 100 allowances? Thanks for the tip!

You get 6 allowances per day, so 17 days to go 0-100. That said, if you haven't done any recently then you probably already have 100 allowances. Leves tend to be something you spend down, not build up.

Edit: 6 per day, not 12.

It's 3 leve allowances every 12 hours.

If you're doing just the leves, the only stat you need to worry about is gathering. If the slot doesn't have gathering, don't bother with getting it. There's no HQ items in leves, so perception is useless, and the CP boost from gear is barely noticeable before 50.

I recently used a lot of leves' to level ALC so I have to wait for them to stack up again it seems. Thanks folks.

one thing to note about daily turn ins, yes they give good xp especially for hq and on bonus. but if you have to chase around for mats to make each item then chances are you could of just auto crafted a stack of something and gotten the same xp in the same or less amount of time.

for turn ins if you cant easily/quickly craft your own, either go to mb see if you can buy a cheap hq or nq if not check venders for cheap nq. wasting a tonne of time collecting mats for one turn in is just not a good idea if your trying to level quickly/efficiently.

also to counter the gil aspect a little gather something you can sell for a reasonable price that moves well. then you use that gil to fund the things you actually need like crystals and the such.

your wasting gil if you only gather the things you need when you could be gathering things to sell and buy the things you need in larger quanties from the gil earned.

always be thinking about how you spend your time when levelling. getting the xp in a reasonable amount of time is what will save you and make you gil. there is no need to go broke levelling crafters/gatherers at all.

Doing the lowest level red gatherer's scrips might also be a good idea since you need those scrips to buy folklore tomestones for the nodes that actually sell well even NQ. It's tedious yeah, and probably not worth it if you can't even spend your leve allowances before they build up and struggle to get custom deliveries done on time. But if you find yourself having more time than you need for those, I highly recommend the lower level scrip things with 240 collectability, even after you hit level 60.

At level 62 though it's easier to do gathering levies since they're near Kugane, so better opt out of gathering levies until then. And use custom deliveries to level fishing past 60.

The Ixal have daily turnins too.

Not to good after L55 or 56.

I just finished miner, but I had to spend much gil upgrading gear and buying material just so I could fo the job quests, which all required going out and collecting X number of HQ items, which were impossible without the right gear.
Not sure of I could have avoided these quests and just done other stuff. (Didn't know beast tribes gave XP for gathering profs..)
