    Take your time. You'll get there eventually. If not this expansion then the next because you are constantly getting more jobs to high level ranges. Don't be afraid to swap between every job if they start to feel boring. There is no rule that you have to do them one by one. The level ranges can start to be boring as well so if you have jobs at different levels you can pick more freely.

    And I can't stress this enough. If you have goals to complete other content which gives xp then make sure to complete those goals before everything is capped. That way you are not wasting time on leveling and you actually finish other things in game. I cringe at the thought of farming bicolor gemstones or wolf marks, leveling trusts, completing Yokai or beast tribes and doing PotD/HoH/Bozja with capped characters.

    If you really dislike a job or two, you have the option to do daily Frontline challenges on other jobs. The xp goes to whichever job you queue with even if you swap jobs inside the instance. Occasionally you can dump all the wolf marks on a hair style or a minion, which is pretty neat.

    I got a "slight" burnout feeling after 5.0 launch, because I was supposed to be the crafter for Eden Savage (thus crafter gear). I leveled up all crafters and gatherers in less than a month (plus the 5 jobs I play the most). This also made me completely skip on Ishgard because I have no incentive to do anything there, I am max level and I can buy the things I want off the market board. I also felt Qitari and Dwarf dailies were a chore more than anything.

    Getting all jobs to 80 (starting from 70 as I did them all in StB) took me perhaps 8 months... I just did daily roulettes / Pixie quests, a few FATEs and the occasional dungeon when I felt like it, I ditched the Trusts completely because I ended up outlevelling them too quickly.
    I think I remember finishing my last 70 job in Stormblood right before or after HoH came out, so I did not really use this as a level up tool either back then. So in the end there is no rush, it comes up quite quickly by itself when you do the bare minimum.

    If someone just wants the amaro they really have to level every single combat job to 80. Role quests have nothing to do with getting the amaro. Doing all the role quests and Shadow Walk with Me gets you an achievemnt and a title. And some lore on the Warriors of Darkness of course. Plus some neat extra at the end of 5.2

    Sometimes rumors are just... rumors.

    Huh? The amaro mount is from the achievement A Life of Adventure IV for getting all DoW and DoM jobs to level 80. Leveling only 3 jobs is nowhere close to meeting the requirement. Are you confusing it with mentor status requirements leading to the eventual mentor mount Astrope after completing 2000 mentor roulette runs?

    You always burn out eventually, I have all jobs maxed and let me tell you it's easy to level them with beast tribes and levelling roulette every day. Sure it takes some time but its doable. I think this game is good in terms of stuff to do but still has a large room for improvement in terms of creating actual interesting content.

    Like everything, I just space out things and give daily goals for myself. But I think people don't realize just how much exp you can get just by doing dailies. Do all roulettes that give exp, do beast tribes, daily hunts, and then do a fate or two if you're very close to the next level. After I did those for the day, I would maybe run one dungeon revelant to my level, then I'd stop for the day and go do something else. It was even easier to do this in ShB because I got everything to 70 prior in Stormblood.

    I find it funny though that I've run into people that think I have no-lifed it or I'm stupid leveling things I dont main.

    I have an alt I work on besides my main, that's one thing that helps me, that and I just play through the burnout cause I can't find a game that keeps my attention like ffxiv does.

    Lately I've been learning to craft so I'm working on learning crafting, who knows maybe I'll try raiding one day.

    It’s just slow and steady really. I typically cap everything about a 1/2 way into an expansion...so that’s plenty of time really to enjoy. The 1-50 is very slough, but it’s infinitely easier now with PotD and other options. Really it’s just... level with different things as you go..and do what you want to do as you want. Wanna do roulette today? Ok. Beast tribes another? Pvp? Not like there’s a rush or even a need to play every day.

    Don’t feel like you have to lock into one job at a time. Just do whatev’s.

    To the people who say don't do it. It has one advantage. If everything is capped you can really shrink down the amount of gear you have. Some people don't care aout what gear they inflict on others so its ok to have level 27 ring at 49 because it is just too much hassle to have different rings for each dps since they don't all fit in ring inventory space.

    Yeah, I realized later when I was driving to work. In my defense, it was early and I hadn't quite woken up yet.
