FFXIV: Endwalker Samurai [Post-6.1] 1 to 90 Leveling Skills Guide



New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!

This guide seeks to teach new Samurai how to Samurai properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I’ll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that and general skill usage. Endgame is a long way away and there’s lots to learn along the way. Start slow and work your way up one skill at a time! Then, graduate to more advanced guides.

  1. I've literally just started leveling SAM and I was so sad when I saw your other video for it was for pre-6.1!!

    Thanks for your amazing work, I take a look at your channel every single time I start working on a new job, and I can't count the amount of sprouts I've directed towards these leveling videos. I'm looking forward to the upcoming NIN video as well 😉

    You're one of the best FF14 content creators for sure ✹

  2. I didn't realize how early I was to this video. I watch all of them even though I'm not even trying to lvl my SAM for a while haha. Thanks for making the only job guides I watch!

  3. Funny little error I noticed was that for Guren you correctly said the potency 500+375×n, but you had the old EW tooltip that had 50% potency lol. For anyone questioning what the big difference is, long story short Guren is better than Senei at 2 target, unlike most Aoe moves that are better at 3.

  4. It's been over 300 days since 6.1.
    Honestly, it's less that Kaiten is gone (I still do miss, even if I get why you might remove it), and more they haven't done anything since?
    Very disappointed in the lack of followup adjustments or changes in the rotation or Kenki generation since 6.1. It's been months.

  5. Just thought I'd drop by to let everyone know that Wesk here is currently joining in on a cyber-bullying campaign against Zepla cuz he's mad about her playing the Harry Potter game. Just check his Twitter if you don't believe me.

    Oh and Wesk, before you delete this comment, I'd like to challenge you to stand by your opinions. Make a video about it! Call her out! Make it abundantly clear that any who support Zepla on this aren't welcome in your community. Really curious about how the everyday folk who come here for rotation guides feel about your unhinged hatred for one of the only successful female XIV streamers. I'm sure they'll all TOTALLY take your side.

  6. This is such perfect timing. I play on finishing leveling up SAM after I finish off tanks. Your vids are SO helpful for me because I often forget how my jobs play when I haven't played them in awhile.
