To gain EXP and an extra level whenDawntrailarrives, players must receive the book which expires on July 2nd, with players needing to complete all its tasks without handing it in.
WhenDawntrail’searly access launches, players can hand in the completed book to receive a significant amount of EXP before picking up another Wondrous Tails to complete. If the second Wondrous Tails is completed, players can gain a whole level at the start of the new expansion.
InFF14, Beast Tribe Quests are a collection of quests that give sufficient EXP and various items, such as Mounts and Minions. Beast Tribe Quests can be an effective way to level, particularly withDawntrailarriving, which gives players the opportunity to gain extra EXP.
When doing the Arkasodara Beast Tribe Quests on the eve ofDawntrail, players should wait until the servers start back up till they turn the quests in, with players needing to hand them in before the daily reset to gain EXP. After turning the quests in, players will be able topick up more quests from the Arkasodarastraight away, gaining more EXP in the process.
WhenpreorderingDawntrail, players are givena Zidane minion and an Azeyma’s Earring. The Azeyma’s Earring is similar to previous EXP earrings from past expansions, with the item increasing EXP earned by 30% when level 90 and below.
To level new jobs such as Pictomancer and Viper, using Azyema’s Earring is essential for leveling up fast to engage in much ofDawntrail’scontent. Equipping the item when completing deep dungeons or trials is an effective way to climb levels, with the 30% EXP increase making the repetition of duties feel like less of a grind.
InFF14, side quests have always been available throughout every location across Eorzea, witheach side quest giving EXP and the occasional item. A neat trick to gain EXP, when Dawntrail launches, is to complete severalEndwalkerside quests beforehand, with players needing to not hand in the quests immediately.
WhenDawntraillaunches, players should turn in the quests, allowing them to accumulate EXP, which can aid the leveling-up process. WithEndwalker’svast number of side quests, players can complete several, resulting in an EXP boom at the start ofDawntrail, aiding progression.

s acclaimed and successful MSQ is a lengthy journey that goes through many expansions, such asHeavensward, Stormblood,Shadowbringers, andEndwalker. WithDawntrail’sMSQ right around the corner, the campaign that follows the Scions and the Warrior of Light on their new adventures will be an easy way to level up in the expansion, with the MSQ likely to push players to reach the new max level 100.
Even for players who are under-leveled beforeDawntrail’srelease, if they have the remaining MSQ to complete, these quests will give a sufficient amount of EXP to help them level their jobs.
Since the introduction of deep dungeons, players have used Palace of the Dead, Heaven-on-High, and Eureka Orthos as effective ways to level. For players wishing to level a job just beforeDawntrail, the deep dungeons provide an efficient way to reach the maximum level.
With the release ofDawntrail, players who wish to level Pictomancer and Viper to level 90 before starting the MSQ should utilize Eureka Orthos, as it’s one of the quickest and easiest methods for leveling roles inFF14. An added benefit that comes withdeep dungeons is that they enable players to play with friends, allowing for a more enjoyable experience while grinding to the maximum level.
InFF14, one of the most reliable and time-efficient ways to level jobs is to complete the daily roulettes available to all players.Roulettes involve completing a duty, and in return, players are given a significant amount of EXP, gil, seals, and differing tomestones depending on which duty is completed.
Despite giving the most EXP, MSQ, and Alliance Raid roulettes should only be done by those who can afford the time, with both roulettes typically lasting anywhere from half an hour to an hour. When attempting duty roulettes, players should complete Leveling, Level 90 Dungeons, and Level 50/60/70/80 Dungeon roulettes daily, with these duties allowing players to gain EXP in the shortest amount of time, perfect for those wishing to level up forDawntrail.
