Something else you may want to do if you have all your crafters at 90 is to get a bunch of Grand Company seals so you can buy a bunch of Grade 9 Dark Matter from your Grand Company when the expansion releases.
While you cant accept Tribe quests on job and turn them in on another, it is still worth to advance your reputation just far enough that the next quests will rank you up. With early access you can turn in your tribe quests with one of the new jobs, rank up and by this reset the tribe quests for another 3 quests. So with the daily reset you might be able to turn in 9 quests in one day.
A note about Azeyma's Earring (and presumably the new preorder earring): I've read that it also works when you get synced into dungeons, trials, and raids. If you're, say, at level 93 but you get synced into level 50 Praetorium, Azeyma's Earring will still give an XP bonus for running the dungeon.
Err… Or you do mount gulg with trust two times to get at lvl 81 o.o…
A very important one is to CLEAN YOUR INVENTORIES as much as possible. There are 3 main reasons.
1- You will be getting a lot of items and gear from MSQ, and you don't want to be stuck having to manage inventory when everyone is doing MSQ and you might potentially get a lot of random disconnections.
2- Under high loads, things like retainers take a lot of time to load. You might get stuck at the bell waiting for your retainer to arrive for a whole minute. So make sure you have no business with a retainer for at least the first day or two of early access.
3- Every time you zone into a new area or duty, all of your character's inventories also need to be loaded into that place( except for chocobo saddlebag in instanced duties). So in theory, if everyone has a minimal inventory before launch, we all will have a smoother experience. Normally, how many items you are holding in your inventory/armory/saddlebag don't matter, but with so many people online at the same time, it might add up.
I would max out on bicolor gemstones so you can get those riding maps as soon as possible
All I remember for EW is this dude went with a tank, 2 blue mages and him as a reaper and just straight up grinded out 10 levels of dungeons to get to 80.
Gonna level PIC first. As much as I like Zidane, Relm came first.
my current plan other than saving WT was just to runs trusts since i want to level them anyway. Man I'm excited.
I spent months making a month worth of grade 3 buffs for my fc
In addition to buying 660 gear, you can upgrade any 650 you might have to 660 at a discount.
Levequests still exist? Bruh I just did the tribal quests, custom deliveries, and those special crafting delivery quests
Oh. Wait. There isn't 89 left side gear, cause we got out AF armor at 89 this time. I wonder if theyll add something for viper and picto.
? Bozja and Zadnor dont give good exp past 80 I thought? There is the Eureka Orthos deep dungeon though.
i left myself jsut enough side quest to do that plus the book its good exp day 1 i need to get to 90 asap
Step one… Let the foaming crazy players exhaust themselves into a coma on launch. You can now log in and play normal to just have fun and progress the game at your own phase and way.
Don't wave off sidequest exp.
The scaling of them means they're BETTER sources of exp closer to 80 than 90. At level 80-81, they provide 2.5% of the exp required to next level.
At level 89, they provide 1.75% of the exp required to reach 90.
Pre-release, you can stack 26 side quests (you'll need 3 slots free for combat tribals and the 1 for the new job quest), then rapid-fire turn them in for about 65+% of your level, do 6 additional side quests, then your tribals and you'll reach 81 without needing to spend your WT book. You can save that for a 50% EXP bump to reach the next required level for a dungeon after a couple runs of the 81 dungeon.
Then, since the DPS queue is bound to be horrible, do your hunts while you wait, do fates for the challenge log, etc.
I want to add if you're a slacker like me and did no side quests in EndWalker you can prep 28 quests(i chose Garlemald) and have them pre-completed and drop them on your VPR/PCT 87 for a boost.
The true first step is Elden Ring DLC
For the FC I always prep one month of grade 3 buffs for leveling jobs, crafters and gatherers before expansion releases, but this time I overdid it and made 2 months for leveling jobs because I started prepping the buffs more earlier than usual XD,
also eat any food for 3% free xp might be over rated but still a thing
Hopefully when DT launches (if they add a new hunt currency) they add buyable aetheryte tickets to buy with sacks of nuts. Dont know why you cant already.
Important for anyone that wants to fantasia as SOON as the expansion drops: Get naked and drink a fantasia BEFORE the maintenance! If you do, you won't have to sit through the log-in queue just to do that, log out, change, and then log in again.
For those planning to beeline the MSQ as a dps within the first few hours of launch: when you unlock the 91 dungeon, instead of queueing directly for the dungeon, queue for leveling roulette instead. With all the people leveling VPR and PCT at 80 and any and all tanks/healers being pulled into their roulettes, lvl 91+ dps will be in high demand and it's very likely you'll get your newly-unlocked dungeon in your roulette within a few minutes. You'll get the normal dungeon exp, the roulette exp before daily reset, and exp for any CLs you have prepped. (I've done this at both ShB and EW launch – the queue is pretty quick and it gives a pretty significant exp boost.)
Additionally, you can try to do the same thing after daily reset for the 93 dungeon, though there's a somewhat higher chance you get pulled back into the 91 dungeon. Do so at your own risk, but at worse, you'll get some more exp from quick dungeon run.
first expansion in FFXIV for me and my crew, so hyped! Thanks for the guide to help us get organized.
crafters on lvl 90; classes i want to play on lvl 90 and min. of 640 gear; 5000 teleporttickets; 6000 marks for my vendors; 1 extra chars inventory complete full of materia; lvl 80 gear for the viper in arsenal ready; mainchars inventory clean and clear. i cant await to play!
Something that I’m wary of when it comes to buying early access is what happened with the Endwalker servers during the first week or so. I haven’t heard much word on what Squenix intends on doing about server overload.
I'm still not 100% sure if I'm going to take Pictomancer through the MSQ or not. I'll also unlock Viper but I'm DEFINITELY NOT taking it through the MSQ as there will be plenty of those already. One thing that saddened me with my first MSQ run of Endwalker is that I took Summoner which was my main for the previous two expansions and it became very clear to me as I went through the MSQ that the job was just no longer for me. I've mostly been maining MCH and Reaper this expansion and I had an absolute BLAST taking Reaper through the MSQ on my alt which I could totally see myself doing again with Viper but for my FIRST MSQ run on my main account I really want to play a job that's just really fun and Picto has peaked my curiosity…but I'm slightly worried about the long cast-times as well as what the job feels like to play BEFORE level 100 which people didn't really elaborate much about in the media tour. Worse come to worse, I'll just stick to the old American method and destroy the New World with guns and high powered explosives…but I also still like the idea of taking a more "artistic" approach to this new land.
If you're planning on leveling Picto or Viper immediately, you can save yourself a bit of time by writing macros to put all the abilities on your bars. You can look at any of their preview guides and guestimate where their abilities should be where you want them. You'll probably need to do some adjustments, but it's still a time saver.
I think I’m going to work on getting the new jobs to 90 first and take my time with the msq/ new areas
Can someone give a TLDR on what he said… luv u happy lol
The advice to avoid being level locked during the MSQ sounds better than it should. I remember leveling multiple Alts through EW MSQ, barely getting stuck at around 86 to 87 multiple times so it might really be a good idea to keep that book handy
Imagine having side quests left
@Mrhappy1227 been a few years since I’ve played. Picked it up again and starting back at level 80 on SMN (trying to figure the rotation out) I just bought both Endgame & Dawntrail so I have a whole expansion to complete or as close to completion as possible. I’m on Sargatanas and wondering if you or anybody here has a wonderful FC recommendation that I could call home. Thanks in advance.
I’ve been here since 2.0.. I know EVERYTHING that will be said in EVERY one of these types of videos. Yet here I am still watching from start to finish.
Dawntrail can’t get here fast enough!
depending on how you want to handle new job gearing, the new jobs should be coming with a coffer of armor and a weapon when you unlock them. the gear won't be as good as the tomestone gear currently available in Eulemore, but will be sufficient to get you started. So if you are low on poetics or want to save a step, you could theoretically just get the level 85 set of gear from a that dungeon for the two jobs and swap over to that gear once you reach that dungeon level and skip buying the cryptlurker gear apart from the accessories.
also…. personal note, still annoyed that early access is the same as Pride weekend here. Square is homophobic making me choose
Tbh i think you only really need 3 things for expansion launch lol. 1) Be lvl 90. 2) get through the last patch story. 3) Have enough gil to buy gear from an NPC in the new area if you dont feel like gearing ahead of time.
