Suggestion's on what to do next

[Anul]

Hi, I'm new to FF14 and I'm about to hit lvl 50 on my LNC. I'm wondering what I should focus on next. Gonna go lvl MR in order to turn into a dragoon but after that rly dont know what i should do first.

Would like some suggestions on:
-What gathering and crafting classes should i lvl up?
-Which armour set should i go for next and where do i get them?

In general just looking to get everything i need on my soon to be dragoon for a good end-game experience

Lv. MRD to 15 = DRG ... most players will level main job up to 20 >>>> then sub job to 15 so you can use sub job actions for your main >>>then back to main hit 30 BOOM dragoon,then continue on to Lv. 50

after that as far as crafting goes its up to you

example: if you choose carpenter you may wanna level up botanist so you can collect your own materials..Also DoH will allow you to meld materia.......or blacksmith so you can repair your own gear to a certain extent..and so on

this is just a general explanation maybe others will elaborate a bit more,but hope this helped a bit

wish i could help you with that,i am still quite a ways from end game.I'm sure a LV.50 will post here soon for those answers

Mm, I'd have to agree with Pendragon. I would suggest you take the time to level marauder and pugilist for some cross-class skills.

First to actually become a Dragoon, you will need to level marauder to level 15. As you are now, the highest tier of gear you can get is ilvl60 (from AK runs). End-game content will require you to actually wear more powerful gear, and that means the Dragoon class. If you have been doing your class quest (completely different from story quest), you should have been prompted to level other classes at level 10 and informed about your dragoon job at 30. If you haven't reached that far, I would suggest you talk to your guildmaster at the Lancer Guild in Old Gridania and finish your level 5 and 10 quests to change classes. It should be relatively easy with your gear now.

Once you've done that, you can obtain the marauder class in Limsa Lominsa's coral tower. Level up your marauder to 15 (you can avoid the class quests if you like), and then go talk to your lancer guild master again. If you have completed the level 30 class quest from him and have marauder to 15, you will be given a quest to seek our your new dragoon trainer. You will talk to that trainer from now on for all future dragoon class quests.

If you are willing to level those classes, I might even suggest marauder to level 22 for mercystroke to help you solo better. As a DPS, will also want to level pugilist to 12 for the increased crit buff. It'll help a lot with your damage.

For crafting, you will want carpenter to help you obtain your relic weapon. You can also just buy the pre-requisite weapon from the auction houses and pay someone to meld it for you. Botany and mining will provide for the majority of carpentry crafts and you can always sell the excess materials on the market. Ideally, as a crafter, you should be leveling all crafting and gathering classes together as they synergize very well and will cut down on material costs for you. But it does require some patience to work that out. Fortunately as a dps, you spend a fair amount of time queuing for dungeons for side activities like these.

For some reason neither of u read that i said i am going to lvl MRD to lvl 15 than go dragoon. I already know that step, jesus >.< Just haven't gone dragoon yet because the bigger the lvl gap is between classes the bigger exp bonus i get on the lower lvl class. So im just going 50 first on my main since it seems fairly easy than goin to lvl MRD which is needed for dragoon.
The rest of ur info was useful Anova, ty

Ummm..i did read your post,and was trying to help is all.I read that you leveled LNC>50 and you were gonna start MRD.How you level is your prerogative so i'm very sorry for even trying to contribute anything positive..

but good luck none the less

Yeah you're about 20 levels late for when you should have tried to unlock DRG. For all future classes/jobs, aim to get it right at 30.

Just haven't gone dragoon yet because the bigger the lvl gap is between classes the bigger exp bonus i get on the lower lvl class.

Despite what the game tells you, you get the 50% bonus even if your highest class/job is only 1 lvl higher. It does NOT scale based on lvl gap. Even if it did, it's not a valid excuse to not unlock a job considering how massive of a bonus it is to use a job over a class.

Well seems like i should have gone dragoon already, so doin that now. thnks for all the info everyone

P.S. Urthdigger really like the way you explained what armours i should get and how. thnks

You should check out this endgame guide, it's pretty awesome but might have a few mistakes because it hasn't been updated in about a month and there have been minor patches since then. Endgame guide: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=endgame+guide

Edit: I don't know about dragoon and crafting/gathering so can't comment on that. Only gears.
