Lvling all classes how do you do it ?

[Ambacht]

I wasn't completly sure where to put this so i put it up here.

I've recently rejoined FFXIV ARR and i've been wondering about all the classes in-game.
You can lvl all classes & jobs on 1 character, but is this really doable?
Lvling all classes including having a mass amount of gear, not to mention having both discipline of War and Magic classes. Doesn't this make a mess of things or having you to sort out the gear everytime you lvl another class??

Isn't it more easier to just a new character for this ? For example on char for Discipline of War classes adn the other for discipline of magic ?

Not to mention you will eventually run out of quests/ content to do and will be forced to grind for your lvls? Or has this system been improved upon or changed ?

I'd like to hear people's opinion about it and also like to know if there people who do this how they do it ?

Not to brag, just to show you it can be done.

Welcome to this nice game again! ^^

The way I did it because I'm masochistic, I leveled them up all to 15, so that I wouldn't have to bother what was the required sub-class for this job etc..

The best way is to get one battle class to 50, then the system will make it easier for you when playing an alt with more experience points.

Then, since all my classes were the same lvl, it was easier for me to get rid of old gear.

You will outlevel the gear so I didn't bother until lvl 30, as it tend to become slower.

At the time where Fates was giving more XP than Dungeons, this is how I leveled them up. All of them.

That's why now I have the Paragon set lol (wish we could see the amount of fates after 3000, must be close to 5000 lol)

Having all jobs maxed gives you access to cross-class skills, and with the soon cap raise, you never know if they will make some skills the same way. Imagine lvl 55 skills cross-class, you will cry that you didnt level all your class on one character (I've read they plan of revamping the classs system so /shrugs)

Yes you run out of quest. I'm a sucker for quest so it gets very boring. Usually when all that there is to do in game is Dungeons, Dungeons and Dungeons, this is where I change game.

So far I impress myself that I still stick to this game ^^

So now, your options: You have your Dragoon Maxed (Congrats)

If you still have som sidequests, do them.

Challenge log, when you are about to receive the gil and xp, change into a class that can receive it. Hunting Log of course as you should have done it for your Dragoon.

Guildhest: So many people overlook this, it gives nice XP to all of your classes, so you can do one, switch class, and redo the same one, getting xp ^^

Fates and Leves: I do fates when getting to my leves, and in-between them. (you get gil and item to gear up too)

I would get the boring part away first, but that's me: I would lvl up all the rest (battle and magic) to 15. Then you get rid of the gear, and you pick up one, get the job, then switch.

Once you are lvl 30, you can make a party in Coerthas and lvl up from fates. (depends of your time, but it goes fast enough for me)

Lvl 44 and 47 (Dungeon 1-2 first rooms): Aurum Vale for example, you clear the first room, perhaps first boss if you are under 15 minutes, you get out, go back in, gives a nice XP boost.

Every 5 lvls, do your class/job quest, it will alleviate the boredom of doing the same thing over and over.. and unlocking more skills and some gil (I didn't take the gear unless you really need them)

If I did it, so can you.

Best of luck, perseverance is key ^^

Its pretty easy. Do the main story and quests for your first class, then for the rest you do your daily low level dungeon and daily guildhest on the job your leveling, plus complete the challenge logs that reward xp on the class your leveling. If your leveling a tank or healer just spam dungeons, for DPS queue for dungeons and while you wait do battle leves. Also always do your hunting log for each class its a big boost of xp. Once you get to 40s you can also do daily beast tribe quests if your appropriate level for more xp.

Having all classes leveled on one character is really mostly a convenience because it would be a ton of work to do all the quests and stuff for 8 different characters.

There's no reason not to level all jobs on 1 character really, but there's also nothing wrong with having for example 1 character for DoM and 1 for DoW. Gear isn't much of an issue, you should have plenty space to store it, and at lower levels gear doesn't matter much anyway.

Doing dungeons appropriate to your level is a good way to level, you get a LOT of exp from them. On top of that, you can do a low level dungeon roulette and get a large exp bonus once a day for completing those. That bonus added to the regular exp from a dungeon can get you 2 levels on a single dungeon run early on.

Don't actively grind all jobs to 50 though, just take your time and enjoy the game, there's plenty to do other than level jobs or grind for gear

Hi,

My signature, not yet all 50.

And there are a lot of players with all classes 50.

Separate chars for DoW and DoM is not possible if you want to make a Paladin for example (30 GLD + 15 CNJ to unlock it).

Anyways leveling is fast even for DPS classes, dungeons as much as you can and Fates/leves while waiting. Low level roulette gives you more than half a level per day.
Until you hit 45 with Artifact armor gear are shared, DoW(dex/str), Tanks and DoM (Int/Mind)

Aftewards if you want raid gear for all classes only way to bypass lockout is 1 character per class.

Much the same, After the Lightning Returns event (where I grabbed all the gear from it) which is level 13, I levelled all of my classes to 13 so they could equip that gear. I plan to use that gear to get to level 30. Aside from Fisher (which I don't care about/for) you'll notice my lowest class is 13. I'm currently levelling Monk. I am doing it exactly how it was recommended. @ 37, I'm doing predominantly leves and FATEs in Coerthas.

Gear management was a bit harder before we had the little page symbol for gear that's part of a gear set. But with that there, it's really not difficult at all. When you get some new gear, you check the other jobs you're leveling and see if it's an upgrade. If it is, you update the gear set. When you gain some levels on a job, you look through your armory to see if you've got upgrades waiting, and again, update gear set. It's a couple minutes at a time at worst.

And I feel like I'm leveling just as fast now (with pretty much no quests left anywhere), with leves and fates and roulettes and dungeons and hests and beast tribe dailies and the challenge log, as I was when I was reading all that quest text and watching all those cutscenes. I suppose if you don't read and you skip cutscenes, questing would be more of a noticeable difference.

Some of the better cross-class abilities aren't available till later levels, so it doesn't hurt to finish them up to 50.

Also, doing dungeons/leves/guildhests for your lower-level jobs will often net you enough gear to get by with any job you choose. As far as endgame, I tend to spread my gear out based on priority:

-My main raid job is Warrior/Paladin. This has the highest priority for endgame gear at the highest iLVL, depending on certain stats. They generally both use the same gear, so it is easy to keep them at approximately the same iLVL.
-My favorite job is Monk. This has the next highest priority.
-My next most-used job is healer.
-etc.

Things like CT, Mythology, Soldiery, Allied Seals, ST, BC, SCoB allow me to gear up everything (I think my lowest iLVL is 83, rest are near or above 90). It helps that a lot of classes use the same gear. Space has never been an issue for me, even when crafting. Usually, you just have to actually look at what you got and purge it if you know you won't really use it. Luckily, in this patch, you can turn in a lot more items for GC points, so they go out of your inventory when you acquire a better alternative.

All in all, this saves you $2 a month from having to make an alternate character

I set myself the goal to spam each specific dungeon (in ascending order of level) until I have all the green loot from it before moving on the next one, changing class to be able to Need the pieces I was missing.

For example,

Sastasha/Copperbell/Tam-tara (Foestriker, Plundered, Acolyte) > Halatali (Doctore's weapons/armor) > Toto-rak (Warden/Brigand/Torturer/Ascetic's) > etc.

By the time I got to Aurum Vale (lv47 loot), all my combat classes were lv50 without whatsoever need of FATEs and roulettes, though I do not recommend this goal-setting kind of approach if you don't have a collector's OCD like me who actually makes me enjoy the repeating of the same dungeon several times a day.

DoHs, just use the HQ bonus on Supply Delivery and crafting leves (www.fxivguild.com helps). DoLs were the ones that look longer for me, but the Supply Delivery HQ exp bonus and the gil income during the grinding made up for the long time it took overall.

I'm leveling my last combat class, Dragoon, which, ironically, I started as (healer queues were much nicer at release). I most through FATES back when that was the easiest/best way to go. Monk/Warrior and now Dragoon, i did through a combination of daily low lvl roulettes and leves/FATES.

Actually, now that I realize it, I never touched a sidequest post 25ish...might make leveling up my last class easier (36 DRG atm).

Dont bother trying to keep them all geared in endgame, focus on the role you like to play the most and gear out your favorite class in that, then pick a class from the other 2 roles as secondary. But I wouldnt advise to do more than 3 classes.

Leveling up, it helps to finish off an armor class at a time. Once you are finished with say, PLD/WAR you can trash all the low level armor, then move onto the caster/healer classes then trash all that low level gear.

I actually feel kinda behind since I quit for a while, but I want to finish off my classes before I hit the 2.3 stuff.
