    Which beast tribes for 60's XP?

    Hey so as always I'm looking for ways to level through the 60's to bridge the chasm of suck between when squad command missions end and trusts begin (also, PICK A SYSTEM AND FIX THIS CHASM, DEVS), and I'm looking at unlocking beast tribes. Again, assuming I'm only using them from 61-71, Should I only be looking at Heavensward tribes, Stormblood tribes, or does it not matter because they potentially give proportionate XP?

    I've literally never touched a beast tribe before because they don't have anything I need, cosmetically speaking. Now I'm looking at them for XP.

    Thanks in advance for any and all helpful replies?

    You can continue to do squad runs to 70, I know lots of folks who did so. Or do dungeons/roulettes with other people, anything else will inherently be slower but that's only a problem if you're in a hurry. I believe people have mentioned this before in one of your previous threads.

    for 60-70 the stormblood beast tribes. ananta, and kojin for combat classes. namazu for crafting/gathering. (i obsessively do all the side quests, so i'm not sure exactly what you need to make them each unlockable)

    I certainly acknowledge the option of going to 71 in the vault, I’m just looking for variety options that I can do without rando groups, specifically for my healer jobs.

    Beast tribes from previous expansions will give severely nerfed experience, so unless you're doing it for the rep grind, there's no real reason to keep doing Heavensward tribes past level 60. Likewise, the Stormblood tribes will give reduced exp past 70, so from there you'd be moving on to Shadowbringers tribes.

    It can also be worth doing your daily SB hunt board hunts.I find the most convenient board for this to be in Rhalgr's Reach near the tomestone vendors. It's not a ton of extra XP every day but it can certainly add up even if you just do the hunts from The Fringes and Ruby Sea (since you'll be there anyway for your daily Beast Tribe quests).

    For 60-70 you can do the beast tribe in The Peering Stones in The Fringes and the one in Tamamizu in The Ruby Sea.

    You can do your daily hunt bills from the hunt board at Kugane or Rhalgr's Reach, but the unlock quests are at Kugane.

    You can also do Heaven-on-High from level 61.

    Best routes are:

    1) Do your daily leveling roulette. It's a ton of EXP

    From there you choose whatever fits your tastes

    MSQ Roulette gives a TON of EXP but can be boring.

    For Beast Tribes you want ones that are current for your expansion, SE has a habit of nerfing the previous ones. You want Anata and Kojin.

    Another option is simply queuing up for the Max level dungeon available to you. While you wait in queue, that's where you go do beast tribe quests and this maximizes your exp per hour.

    After that you can also do the following for EXP:

    Challenge Log
    Wondrous Tails (Guaranteed free half a level once complete every week) Best used in the upper brackets 67-69
    Daily Hunt Bills / Weekly Hunt Bills. These are about equal (exp) to a beast tribe quest and there's 15 of them. Great source of EXP.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
