So...a silly question perhaps, but how does one level alts if we've already done the MSQ? Just go around and look for quests that were skipped or duty the whole way?
Leveling alts.

Since your progress on your main character does not carry over until a brand new character. If you're talking about just an alt class/job on your main then you have levequest, dungeons, and deep dungeon to level other classes after you've completed the MSQ. Hope that answers your question.Quote:

Rule of thumb: Roulettes>Dungeons>fates

Palace of the Dead is very good xp for alt jobs. You can unlock it in Gridania. The queue is also very short for dps.

Daily duty finder roulettes, dungeons, Fates, Beast Tribe dailys, Palace of the Dead or Heaven on High will help you level your jobs pretty fast. ^^

Also, don't forget your Weekly Challenge Log. It can be a little annoying at times to have it work out but try to at least do the "final step" of each Challenge on the job you're trying to level. You can even do the FATE and Levequest weeklys in a low level zone to blow through them very quickly (and the FATEs will help your chocobo companion level too if you don't have it capped yet).

If you're starting from level 1 on an alt class, you'll need to get to level 16 before you can run your daily leveling roulette. Hunting logs (each class has its own), FATEs, and Palace of the Dead are some decent options at low levels.

Depends on the job you want to level.
Tanks/healers best to do roulettes -> levelling dungeons -> Palace of the Dead -> fates/hunting logs. Though pre level 16 hunting logs/guildhests/fates.
Dps however Roulettes-> Palace of the Dead -> levelling dungeons -> fayes/hunting logs. Pre 16 again hunting logs/guildhests/fates.
While waiting in any queue do fates/logs and at lv 43-49 ARR beast tribes at 50-59 HW beast tribes at 60-69 SB beast tribes and 70+ ShB beast tribe -

Do about a hundred PoTD/HoH, with roulette mixed in. MSQ roulette for sure. At 71 onward ShB dungeons with roulette mixed in. At least that's how I do it. When ShB first came out I used to FARM the ShB fates between queues. Most of mine were leveled at the start of ShB. As above states, beast tribes like pixie too for sure.

Duties, duties and more duties.
Be they Roulettes, dungeon runs (The highest level dungeon you can queue for will give more exp than doing a non-daily bonus Roulette) or Deep Dungeons (PotD/HoH).
Throw in a dash of Beast Tribe quests and Challenge Log completions here and there and that's the leveling experience for non-primary jobs.
As a sidenote, if you're finding queue times to be a bit long (Either because you're playing at off-peak hours and/or are a DPS) for duties, up to level 60 you can run dungeons with Squadrons from your Grand Company if you have a high enough rank to access them. Get yourself a couple of Archer and a Marauder squaddies as they do the most DPS and you're good to go with any set up (There's only one healer class for squadrons which you're given straight away).
That said, there is a gap around level level 32-41 where only Brayflox's Longbox is available (No Cutter's Cry or Sunken Temple of Qarn) which can get repetitive... Trust me, I leveled 12 jobs up to 60 via Squadrons and so did Brayflox around 200 or so times due to that >.>
Also, bear in mind that with Squadrons, the exp comes from killing stuff rather than completion, so you'll want to run around killing everything rather than normal dungeon procedure of rushing right to the bosses (Though, it does mean you get full benefit from exp boosts, such as the ring from Halls of the Novice, food buffs, FC buffs, Stormblood/Shadowbringers pre-order earrings etc) -
03-15-2020, 10:34 AMNicodemus_MercyWhen leveling my main job I purposefully skip all sidequests that don't unlock something and focus exclusively on the MSQ. All those skipped side quests I do on alt jobs for shots of xp here and there.Quote:

Trust Dungeons, Challenge Log, Beast Tribe Dailies and daily Leveling Roulette (healers only) 71-80
I don't like tanking group content so I stuck to mostly Beast Tribe Dailies and Challenge Log stuff for those jobs.
I am pretty terrible at most of the DPS jobs, am not a fan of melee in general, and don't want to wait for long queues, so Squadrons and Trusts are amazing for leveling the DPS jobs. I do hit the Main Scenario Roulette on DPS jobs for 60-71 though since that's a dead zone for Squadrons and Trusts.
I love to heal (I main WHM), and am more than happy to run leveling roulettes on any healing job.
I hit fates from time to time when convenient but I don't care for fate farming. I still don't have the ShB shared fate stuff completely unlocked. 60 fates per zone is just too much to ask of me. I think I've done maybe 10-15 fates in each zone so far.
Deep Dungeons are fun in small doses but I can't chain run them too much cause it gets too repetitive and monotonous for me. -
03-15-2020, 11:34 PMADarklore^THIS! I do the weekly FATE and LEVE Challenge log in low level zones as they go very quickly and offer very high XP rewards.Quote:
