Is there a post-50 DoH leveling path I can do on MY schedule?

I don’t expect there’s an answer to this that fits my criteria, but in the interest of perhaps utilizing my remaining road to 70 month to get my crafting classes from 50-70, I’m going to perhaps hope there’s something obvious I’m overlooking.

After returning and re-rolling in December and getting my two favorite combat classes into Shadowbringers, getting all my DoLs to 70 and DoH’s to 50, I’ve hit a frustrating brick wall to my sense of time efficient and active crafting fun:

Everything worth making requires something from an “unspoiled,” time-gated resource.

I get it, “the world is my grocery store” can’t just be the default omnicrafter/gatherer paradise forever, you’ve gotta gate things somehow, but man... it just sucks all the fun out, for me, to wait on the single node for the resource that you now will hoard like a jrpg-raised “never use the elixir” player, and every leve , every provisioning quest, every upgrade, and every class quest asks for items made with these.

Is there a reliable, reasonably efficient DoH-leveling path that meets these criteria?
-Doesn’t pull from the MB
-Doesn’t rely on other players
-Doesn’t pull from time gated “unspoiled” nodes
-Lets me just go be a self-sufficient omnicrafter/gatherer on my time, on my schedule like 99% of ARR’s crafting done to level!

I don’t mind doing the class quests later. I’d just like to pursue 70 while I have the buff and the stack of xp scrolls I got when I hit 50. I don’t want to buy things, I don’t want to wait for nodes, I just want to reliably and consistently gather, craft and level.

Am I missing something, or is that pretty much impossible?

Thanks in advance for any and all helpful replies!

ishgard restoration, go out to preexisting nodes and gather the new crafting mats then using collect synthesis turn them into collectibles and turn them in for huge exp doesnt use up any leve allowances doesnt require other players or the marketboard and no unspoiled nodes

I’d heard about the ishgard restoration feature but had seen no in-game hook for it. Thank you for the recommendation and the link!

What's wrong with unspoiled nodes? We're not talking about a timer that pops once a week or once a day. The timer is an Eorzean day at most, which is about one hour. Some nodes appear twice in an Eorzean day.

Just pop Kings Yield II or some similar yield-boosting ability and you're good to go.

Just do the daily GC turn-ins. They basically give you a whole level now after the EXP nerfs.

If you want to do more then that but still prefer not to grind heavily then the crafting leves give a ton of EXP.

Moogle Daily Quests from 50-60, Namazu dailys from 60-70. Custom deliveries once a week too.

If you just want to level your DoH classes you have no need whatsoever of the materials from Unspoiled nodes. While such materials are used for a great many of the level 50/60/70/80 recipes, there is no need to craft those recipes in particular for leveling, only for some class quests.

Use the Moogle and Namazu beasttribe quests for leveling your DoH classes. Do the daily GC turnins. Do the weekly Custom Deliveries once those are unlocked.
Just craft items for the first-time bonus. Create collectables for turn-ins. Do levequests.
Plenty of options for leveling, and if you make use of all of them you will hit levelcap in no time at all.


And should it turn out that you do need material from some Unspoiled node - just get those. Plenty of resources on the web to tell you exactly when and where those spawn and can be gathered. If you have a largish chunk of time available you can do circuits where you hop around the zones as Unspoiled nodes become available there - this way you can gather a nice stockpile of materials without having to do much waiting at all.

The GC turn-ins give you a lot of EXP if your only logging on for a couple minutes per day. And the GC seals you get can buy more ventures to fuel your retainers.

I'd recommend keeping up to date with your crafting job quests. You get a decent amount of experience from them in their own right - especially later on - and manipulation is a key ability unlocked through them.

check out ffxivguild's dol/doh levelling guide and do leves. there should be a "best" for each level range. do your job quests too because they give shitloads of xp

50-60 was brutal with all the mats and murdered my inventory :). I made double of each 50-60 job quest item and sold them easily because people didn't want to collect all that stuff themselves. At 60 though you will be home free because they hand you the materials needed for job quests and crafting collectibles work the same way and earn you scrips besides.

Really depends on how quickly you want to level. With beast tribes and custom deliveries alone, you could level any crafter without ever needing to go gathering materials ever again. Restoration does require gathering, but the Skybuilders materials all have frequent high-yield procs. Leves and GC turn-ins, and you're kinda back to possibly needing some of those timed materials (maybe? Idk, maybe some/most turn-ins avoid those).

Even better, after 60, you don't even need to gather materials for class quests.

Thank you both for this! Now that I've tried it, Ishgardian Restoration was EXACTLY what I was looking for! You've saved my crafting leveling and I may actually get everything to 70 before my buff wears off! Thank you for actually reading my request and responding with the silver bullet for all my woes!

Uh, just like, fly in a circle and gather things,

Or do GC turnins.

Or do collectables.

Or fly in circles and gather things.



Theres like, 4 things from any pre-80 timed node youll use 70+, and 0 you'll need 1-70

From there, craft collectables. Or GC turnins. Or ishgard stuff. Or just craft things.
