For those of you who have leveled everything.

[Deceptus]

Log in, do dailies, chill at my personal house with the orchestrion in the background.

Basically I don't consider this game a second job. I dabble in EX, don't do savage / ultimate and just play to have fun with low expectations.

[TheMightyMollusk]

The only jobs I really dislike are healers. So for WHM and AST, once I hit 50, I just did the MSQ Roulette while watching Youtube to grind them up. There's so little damage going on most of the time that it's trivially easy for even a fairly bad healer like me to keep up. Did leveling roulette with them sometimes, too, but I got tired of undergeared tanks blaming me for their squishiness (seriously, why would anyone think unaugmented Ironworks gear would be fine in Dohn Mheg?!).

How did you not burn out terribly? Especally with class types you just don't like? I just have a goal of having a fully leveled char. I leveled paladin, warrior, white mage, scholar, summoner to 50. As we all know the arr levels are just a slog. I am currently on black mage. Soon I will be doing monk, archer (Worst class in the game, I hate it so so much.) rogue, and lancer. It takes fifty years to get in a dungeon, and path is not much better.

Besides dancer I dislike playing dps. I want the fully leveled char just to finally have it sience I have been playing sience 2.0, but the burnout is getting real.

Don't force yourself. I finally leveled everything because a friend of mine started playing and needed dependable heals (hadn't played any till this year except for the old pre-reqs that got removed). Do your daily roulettes, weekly challenges and it'll happen sooner than you think.

[Rasler_Heios]

The best way of course is the roulettes. Other than that, I leveled every other job in conjunction with other contents. For example, I leveled some of my jobs while levelling the trust system, or levelling up my Shared FATEs rank. En route back then to 70, some of my jobs were leveled up by doing daily beast tribe quests. In all of these cases I was not just leveling the job, I was levelling something else at the same time. Had I known Bozja (and if it had come sooner) would be something you can level up jobs from 71 I would have exploited levelling there too. If there are nothing else to level up, I'd do it alongside what I need to grind... there was the hunts boards and like when I was en route to 50/60 I grinded those weapons in PotD and HoH. All of these, the exception is for the job I main of course, that one should be in duties like dungeons, trials and raids. The bottom line is if you are grinding for the sake of getting just everything to cap and that is your only purpose, chances are you'll burn out immediately. Match it up with something else, have a secondary reason while levelling them.

Ask yourself why it's so important to level jobs you won't be using because you hate them.

Having them all leveled doesn't give you any important bonus rewards, doesn't unlock any additional content. You get a mount and some titles that you'll probably never use. Not worth it if you hate it.

If you're still going to insist on doing it, take your time. Don't rush. My routine was FATEs and leves to 50, then MSQ roulette + hunt bills + beast tribes (doing the latter two while waiting in queue for the roulette). I'd get 1-2 levels a day after 50 doing just that content (the 2 levels on the days challenge log entries completed). Some days I'd decide I wasn't in the mood to level so I wouldn't. Eventually I got them all to level cap. I didn't care how long it was taking because I wasn't really missing out on anything by not leveling them. I did want the Amaro mount to use but I have plenty of other mounts I like to use as well so waiting longer to get it didn't bother me.

My only goal is to have a fully leveled char, just levels. I don't care about gear aside from my paladin, white mage and dancer. Just wanna see all those 80's. The only class I hate is archer.

As someone who is nearing cap on a second character. I do feel this can be pretty insightful.

The key is not to just go absolute grind mode, and tunnel vision the levelling. But rather just add some variety to your gameplay, to not only prevent boredom, but to also ensure that the game itself doesn't really burn you out on the journey.

Quite a few things you can do really, from open world achievements (Shared FATEs), to sitting in the Gold Saucer and doing GATEs/Triple Triad, for as mundane as these tasks can be they definitely break up the monotony of the more tedious classes, and for those classes which prove to be outright unbearable, just sit through some MSQ + Alliance roulettes, and Frontline (class swap in-duty). For MSQ it is great progression towards an anima relic, relatively simple to do, albeit time consuming, but you can easily do something on the side to fill the cutscene time. For the classes which serve to be an absolute nightmare (for me it is PLD/GNB) I just roulette them down on the 3 roulettes mentioned until the point at which they're capped. Also make some chill friends along the way, sit on discord, and just meme the dungeon/roulette spam.

Since it seems like your character is relatively 'new', it gives you plenty of activities to do to break it, from those mentioned, to mount farms (ARR Ponies; HW Lanners; SB Kamuy; Rathalos, etc etc.), minion farming, and orchestrion farming. Again, really, the key is to just break up the activities that you do on the journey.

When on your journey just try to have multiple goals established for any task you're doing.. Be it roulettes giving both exp/relics, or dungeon farming giving both exp/desynthesis (can help with rarer materials whilst doing mount farms), or Open World FATEs for giving exp/achievements/orchestrions/triple triad cards. Again, and I will harp but the game has a wide variety of content with which you can sink your teeth into to break the monotony/anguish of class levelling. Boring classes or not, capping all jobs to 80 from effectively pre-50 is a really tall order.

Who says I'm not burned out?

[Vyrerus]

I've always taken it slowly, using mostly dungeons. On DPS I enjoy the longer queues because they let me do other things like play my SNES or chat people up. Though if I'm 100% feeling FFXIV, then I can do daily hunts or grind fates simultaneously, so there's that.

I don't currently have all level 80s, but back in Heavensward I actually did manage to cap every combat class before the end of the expansion, and basically I leveled my favorites first/stuff I thought I'd like, and then my least favorites/stuff I thought I wouldn't like last. So my leveling order was something like Warrior > Dragoon > Dark Knight > White Mage > Ninja > Monk > Paladin > Summoner + Scholar > Black Mage > Bard. And I wound up actually liking Bard quite a bit, and BLM more than I expected, but I still don't love it.

As of now, the only 80s I do not have, for the character that I intend to level everything on, are Monk, Dancer, Astrologian, and Red Mage. Except for Dancer though, this was incidental, as I love Monk, AST, and RDM. I actually love pretty much every job in the game now, though I'm being tsundere towards BLM. Dancer I will likely do last, because I'm not too keen on its animations. I likely won't get them all to 80 by December, but there will be no leveling induced burnout. If I had to timetable it, I'll likely have all 80s by the end of February. Barring unexpected ditching of FFXIV for PS5 related shenanigans.

I also only focus on leveling one job at a time. I don't generally try to spread my roulettes around. I like to get intimate with each job. I also don't do every single roulette, often skipping out on MSQ and Raid roulette. MSQ too long/boring usually and Raid isn't worth enough for the possible time investment.

So TL; DR - Take it slowly, there's no rush. Even if you don't make it by next level cap raise, the levels you earn now are levels you won't have to earn later. Get intimate with the jobs, even the ones you don't like. The better you play while you level, the less time you'll spend leveling.

How did you not burn out terribly?

Who said I didn't? I just took breaks in between

My only goal is to have a fully leveled char, just levels. I don't care about gear aside from my paladin, white mage and dancer. Just wanna see all those 80's. The only class I hate is archer.

You don't have to level everything. Anything beyond your starting class & MS related quests is optional. It's not like PSO2 where reaching a class to 75 gave you a permanent status increase on all your account characters, nor will you gain anything other than a titles, achievements & 1 mount. So there's no point in leveling everything if all you want is just to see them being 80
