Leveling other Jobs/Classes

Been a while since I last played, but I managed to complete the last MSQ for Stormblood on my Red Mage since he's my only Level 70. Now I'd like to level up my other Jobs/Classes to 70 just so I'm well-rounded depending on the content I wanna do, such as Raiding. I've always wanted to do a bit more Raiding in the game since I've barely done any, which must be surprising for a lot of you, considering how long the game has been around. Before I end up going off topic, how do you guys manage to level up your Classes/Jobs to 70? Is there a specific routine I should be following to kinda speed up the process?

palace of the dead for jobs below 60, then do heavens on high to 70.


Fastest way I found. It is just horrifically boring after you do it a million times.

Daily hunts, fates, potd/hoh, duty roulette, side quests, beast tribes.... probably other things I am forgetting.

edit: Squadrons.

See, I knew I would forget something....

I've ran into that problem with Palace of the Dead many times.

Oh...I don't think I unlocked Daily Hunts, Heaven on High or did anything Beast Tribe related. Or Squadrons. Dear geez I've missed out on some content then

Depends on your tolerance for repetitive behaviour and how fast you want to get it done. As others have mention PotD and HoH, along with doing your dailies is probably the fastest way (for dps), but not necessarily good for your sanity. As a tank or healer you can more easily get into dungeons your own lvl and the exp is as good there as PotD and HoH. Squad dungeons are also pretty good for experience for lvls below 50, insta queues for dps, and remove the random factor of getting other players in dungeons who can be an annoyance when you just want to get through for the exp.

If you aren't looking to lvl super fast though, you could just pick a job to do various challenge log stuff on once a week (along with roulettes) while playing your main the rest of the time.

Honestly the fastest way i can think of is Palace of the Dead to 60 then 61-70 do Heaven on High.

You can't enter HoH at 60 so you would have to level by doing leveling roulette + MSQ roulette.

Daily roulettes will get you more experience actually playing the class than PotD/HoH, but may be slower leveling. Even then, doing at least enough for the weekly challenge log gives a nice chunk of EXP.

Personally, after leveling everything already, if you put a gun to my head and told me to go run PotD again, I'd take the bullet.

Sorry for sounding like an idiot, but where and how do I unlock Dailies? I'm not sure if I have Dailies unlocked. Also, how can I unlock Squadrons? I didn't realize I was missing these essential things that I probably should've unlocked while leveling up my Red Mage but bumped into them.

The roulettes all unlock once you have at least two items from the list on there. So you'll have the daily lvlling roulette unlocked. To get the lvl70 you will need two 70 dungeons, Ala Mhigo in the MSQ is an easy one and then Drowned City is also in the MSQ. The lvl50-60 roulette should just require picking up one more lvl50 or 60 dungeon. Alliance you will need LotA and ST from the crystal tower series - the unlock quest starts in Mor Dhona. For the daily raid you'll need the first two Alex unlocked (Idyllshire), and you should have the daily trials unlocked already.

Beast tribes all unlock a bit differently. in HW the Vath are in Dravanian Forelands and the Vanu unlock at the Vanu settlement in Sea of Clouds. The Ananta in SB take a little more work, there are a couple of quest lines in the first map you need to do. For the turtles in the Ruby Sea the unlock quest is short and starts in Isari.

Squadrons start by simply ranking up in your GC, if you are at max rank you can get already then there will be an unlock quest at the GC HQ. You get members of the squad randomly by challenge log rewards. You will need to lvl the squad up to 20 before you can start doing dungeons (command) missions with them.

Hunts if you haven't unlocked those are in Ishgard and in the far east city I forget the name of right now :p Look for the purple Q+ icon around the inn in both cities. The rank 1-3 bills all give exp. The elites are B ranks intended for lvl60/70, and just give gil.

Ah, so by Dailies, you just meant the Roulettes. For the Alexander Raid, I've done bits or all of it I think. I'll have to log in and double check my Alliance stuff and see where I'm at with my Grand Company so I can unlock Squadrons. And the Challenge Log....I need to see if I even have that unlocked.

Alliance roulette is comparable to MSQ roulette, and a lot less soul crushing.

You guys have been really helpful, much appreciated!

Alliance roulette can be just as soul crushing when your raid is wiping constantly to easy bosses.

Like when a group wipes four times on Angra Mainyu because the tanks are having a dickfight over threat and keep turning eye lasers into the raid.

Or someone decides to hold a chain on Cerberus until the last second, thinking it'll give more time for DPS, only to have it time out and have the boss go berserk.

Or seventeen people getting blown off the ship in one shot on Deathguise Hollow.

In alliance roulette, the real deadliest mechanic is the other 23 people.
