HOW TO LEVEL UP QUICKLY IN FFXIV

If you're the FFXIV fan who puts leveling first rather than adventuring or farming FF XIV Gil, get ready to take notes because this guide is for you. We'll describe how to level up your classes quickly, so you can get to crafting & exploring—all the good stuff!

Without further ado, here are the methods to reach the level cap as swift as an arrow shot from a bow.

Quests, Quests, Quests!

One of the most praised aspects of FFXIV is the story. However, even if you don't care about the story, it’s mandatory. You'll unlock more features, areas, and mechanics after every part of the story. That's enough of an incentive, isn't it?

They're also a great source of EXP, at least until level 30. On the bright side, there are expansion scenario quests, which can bring you nearer to the level cap. Side quests will also help if you ever end up unable to fulfill the requirements.

Some of those side quests include class and job quests. Each one will give a hefty chunk of EXP, so don't skip them!

Eat, Drink, and Rest Up

Any kind of food in FFXIV will grant a 3% increase in EXP gain for 30 minutes when eaten. Whether it's bought or gathered, that effect will be applied. Some may have other effects, from boosting stats to increase certain attributes. They're useful in any kind of content, from raids to dungeon crawling or hunting.

Resting is also important. Logging out in towns or sanctuaries will grant you ‘resting EXP'. If you ever feel like taking a break from the game, make sure you do so in a safe place. The next time you log in, your character might have gone up a level.

Join a Guild

They're called Free Companies in-game, but the principle is the same. They give you passive bonuses for certain attributes and even bonus EXP, so join one! There's also another good reason to join one which would be…

Guildhest and Guildleves/Levequest

The former lets you practice for the harder dungeons and raids while the latter refers to repeatable quests scattered across Eorzea. Should you have trouble beating these alone, remember that being in a company provides you with a reliable pool of allies to help you. You'll get your EXP, and do it faster with friends.

Do Your Challenges

Once you hit level 16, the quest ‘Rising to the Challenge' will become available. It will unlock the Challenge Log when completed. The log offers EXP bonuses upon completing objectives that reset every week. The tasks range from killing mobs to completing dungeons.

There's also the Hunting Log, which is a list of enemies to find and defeat. Both logs will give significant EXP, so don't miss the opportunity to complete them.

Try Your Luck in the Duty Roulette

Do it at least once a day, as the main EXP bonus only applies to the first completion of a mission. You can spin it afterward, but with fewer rewards than the first. If you start out early, you can get a level up per day with just a single Duty Roulette spin.

Take Your FATE in Your Hands

Well, that is, to jump into FATE battles when you see them. These world bosses appear throughout Eorzea at intervals. If you're lucky, you'll be able to join ‘FATE trains', a group of strangers flitting from one FATE boss to the next. You don't have to wait for a group or have trouble tracking down the next one. This method may seem a little repetitive, but it does award good EXP.

As a last note, if you're leveling up multiple classes, note that lower leveled jobs gain bonus EXP as long as you have a different job that's at a higher level. That's all you need to know, so go out there and level up! Along with EXP, you're sure to get FFXIV currency as well, basically hitting two birds with one stone.
