Request: More weekly leveling tools like WT

I'd love it if we had the option to do more stuff in the style of WT to get levels over the week. It doesn't have to be the exact same type of tasks or requirements but if there was something in every end hub like that for example it would not only make leveling easier by giving us more xp gain options but it would also give us more reasons to go back to older end hubs other than Idyllshire. Personally I'd like it if this was treated like custom deliveries, with different role bonuses every week. Sure it might make tome farming a tad too easy, but hey, if crafters and gatherers get it, why can't battle classes? They could even cap it at 2 turn ins per week like deliveries if that's too much of an issue, or if doing 4+ per week sounds daunting.

Honestly, to me it just makes sense that the leveling process should have more tools available the higher level you get. A quickening leveling experience would be a good reward for getting through the story and leveling up, and it would be a fair bit less boring than spamming either fates or dungeons, or just doing dailies.

tl;dr it's a good system give us more pls

It gives the same EXP that a PvP roulette does each day and that's only 20 minutes of semi-effort at best.

So if I'm following your logic, more xp options are bad because there's a daily that also gives a lot?

Honestly if so then it has to be like...a super small weekly thing. The last thing we need is strapping weeklies upon weeklies upon dailies upon dailies in FFXIV. Just look at the mess of WoW

It's just leveling though like it's completely optional, whether or not you do it has no bearing on your progress with whatever you're doing on your maxed out main(s). Like, plenty of people survive just fine if they miss a week of custom deliveries or a day of roulettes. Comparing it to wow is very apples to oranges considering how mandatory all of their timegated stuff is for ingame progress. And if 2 weekly xp gain options are too much then why is 1 not?

WT is fine for the most part, but only having two tiers of "difficulty" (for lack of a better word) is getting worse as the number of additional expansions increases. It only offers duties at level 60 or below until you have a max level character, leaving players with two unsatisfactory choices:

1. Work through the next three expansions while levelling your jobs at pace with the quest level, with a dwindling chance of clearing WT goals "naturally" through things like levelling roulette or the level XX dungeon goals lining up with your MSQ.

2. Rush a job to level 90 while still in Stormblood/Shadowbringers MSQ. Unlock the higher rewards, but half the duties are now beyond your reach and some of the trial names are going to be extremely spoilery.


At absolute least, the basic version you have access to before reaching max level should cover up to level 70 as the player will reach Stormblood soon enough.

Ideally, they would add more grades of unlocks.

If you're unaware of it, might I introduce you to the Challenge Log?

If you are ... SE could pretty easily just add some more stuff to it. Or boost the XP from what's in there now; it's gotten pretty lackluster with recent scaling, at least above level 80.

... also, none of it is exactly needed. Everyone who went into Endwalker with 80s by now likely has every class they care about in the slightest to level 90. And some of us no-lifers (myself included) are starting to hit 90 on absolutely everything.

Is the endwalker COLLECTOR'S EDITION better or not

I think you're really overestimating how much people will rush jobs to 90.

On my main character, I went into EW with all 80s and I am levelling mainly through the daily levelling roulette, along with some specific runs of Babil and Vanaspati for glamour. I have three jobs at 90, two at 85, sage somewhere in the 70s, reaper untouched.

Meanwhile on an alt that was ready to play Endwalker MSQ, I have a few things around 85 and was leaving them hovering there until I unlocked Vanaspati and could hope to get it in roulettes or again deliberately for glamour. It seemed silly to push anything to 90 earlier than that.

I find "slow bonus" EXP from doing a small amount of things each week far more preferable to rushing everything to max level. Half a level of EXP towards a class I don't enjoy playing, without having to play it, is a welcome bonus.

Have 1 charter 80 hunter a pally 40 and another charter 60 on the account start endwalker today just got it .

I played wow i had 77 max charters and 1800 battle pets. Here its not ti hard to lvl i found a way

Beastmen dailies. You're looking for Beastmen Dailies.

No, I am not. I truly am not.

"I want more leveling options" "What about these options that already exist" We ain't talking about those options! This thread ain't about them! Like seriously what's the point of saying that? They should never give us more methods of xp gain, ever? Just because there's already a handful? Sorry, the leveling process is still mind numbingly boring and slow with everything in place right now, everything y'all are listing in here isn't good enough. An idea like this wouldn't solve the problem completely but it sure would alleviate it by quite a bit.

Wait what? So, I'm here, sitting on 80s (cuz I'm putting off EW for a bit), and literally this entire journal every week is going to just be easy to solo?

But yeah, would agree, it's felt a bit too limited to fulfill its design for a little while now.

I personally find leveling to be extremely fast in this game. That is, if you know what to do at each level.

LVL 80 to 90 became fast after the EXP boost to Endwalker dungeons. I already got 8 jobs (9 if you count SCH/SMN separately) to 90 after the EXP boost. Getting Reaper from 70 to 90 wasn't bad either. Leveling 80 to 90 will become even faster once we get PoTD Endwalker edition.

But it honestly does. Until we get a patch for current expansion beast tribes there's already ton of leveling options if you're focusing on a single job. Running dailies, PvP roulette, MSQ roulette, Wonderous Tails, doing a couple runs on the highest level you're able to and Zadnor are all available options to get that a level or 2 if you just run them casually while you do other things. Just because you find them boring doesnt mean its still not effective, Ive seen quite a good number of folk already maxed out their preferred classes. However despite me being adamant on adding even more extra things to the grind table, I wouldnt mind if they buffed up the bonuses for some of these dailies a bit more.

Granted me doing these (cept Zadnor) daily nets me a level or two which is fine for the amount of time I slot in solely focusing on job grinding since I rather spend my time doing other stuff. Although this is just me personally, I'm sure even after I said all of this you still wont be satisfied so eh I suppose the devs could come up with an extra thing to do for exp farming.

Back in my days, WT didn't give EXP, and PVP didn't either. So they were already good additions.
The one thing they should do is increasing the side quests XP. Especially job quests and role quests in my opinion. Those should be on par with the Studium deliveries for crafters.

actually this 100%. It feels kinda dumb that even current level minor quests barely give a good boost on your exp bar on your current job. Gives even more of an incentive for people to do em for alt job leveling.

Easy to solo, but you're missing out on prize options like the treasure map or the ability to earn endgame tomes before you get to endgame.

the problem with adding more exp rewards, is that SE tends to nerf other rewards.
leveling roulette used to be absolutely amazing, and now its not worth doing, youre better off just doing a dungeon your level.
same with Lv caps 50/60/70/80/90.

IF SE could give Different options, but make u choose only one, so as not to nerf the reward, then id be all for it.

Sure sure, and I'm missing out on being level 90 by not being level 90.

Horrible design if it can't even give me a reason to run 61-80 content.

Well, as I said, the reason is the prizes.

Given the weekly limit on earning the top-level tomes, you may see it as a benefit to earn at least a small amount per week ahead of reaching endgame – assuming you intend to get there before they are rendered obsolete, at least.

And treasure maps (the unlocked third option for nine seals in the week) can potentially be sold for more than the base level prizes (poetics or a platinum piece) are worth.

It may not be a reason for you, but it's a reason that is on offer if people want it.

Personally I would like access to the level 61-80 duties for my not-at-90 alt because right now I'm accumulating a lot of "second chance points" through normal gameplay but not marking off duties at the same rate without deliberately spending time on it. I'm mostly getting 61+ dungeons through the levelling roulette, and I wanted to run a level 80 dungeon for glamour but I have no chance of that being a WT goal at the moment.

I typically level from 80-90 in about 3-4 days. main scenario/alliance/levelling roulette, pixie dailies and the daily hunt lists. Throw in some shared fates while you wait. I didn't realise WT had an exp component, haven't done it for ages.

I understand where you're coming from, but the answer isn't this limited options, it's just add more mid-range prizes. Or... that doesn't even need to happen. They can still offer all the same low rank rewards while also offering 61-80 content seals.

I wouldn’t mind it having a lower and higher book series (so 1-70, 71-90ish), but honestly the books are very fast to complete… something like 30 min of work for the entire week unsync’d.

It’s not a bad idea, but there really should be a weekly thing that takes a bit longer to do, or maybe can only be done sync’d.

Well daily hunts help speeding the process too, you have so many ways to level up.

The problem for me are the sidequests, I completed every sidequest in EW because I tend to enjoy those but boy they gave less than a FATE and less than a single hunt mob, just silly.
