Final Fantasy 14 is currently in its golden age, with the game hot off the heels of the highly successful Endwalker expansion, wrapping up the decade-long story featuring the Scions. The game will soon embrace its new expansion, Dawntrail, marking a new start not only for players but both Yoshi P and Square Enix.
Final Fantasy 14: Tips to Prepare for Dawntrail
Maximize your Dawntrail launch experience by staying well-prepared!
In Dawntrail, many will be keen to try out the new jobs of Pictomancer and Viper, with leveling being a priority. Several players will also have to either catch up or level alternative jobs in time for Dawntrail to arrive. FF14 has a variety of ways to level characters, with many being ideal for leveling before and after the release of Dawntrail.
7 Wondrous Tails
Take Advantage Of Dawntrail Arriving By Handing In Book After Early Access Begins
Benefits |
|
Located in Idyllshire, Khloe Aliapoh gives players the Wondrous Tails book, which allows players to earn prizes and EXP in return for completing duties listed in the book. To gain EXP and an extra level when Dawntrail arrives, players must receive the book which expires on July 2nd, with players needing to complete all its tasks without handing it in.
When Dawntrail's early 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.
6 Beast Tribe Quests
Hand In Quests After Early Access Begins To Gain EXP
Benefits |

In FF14, 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 with Dawntrail arriving, which gives players the opportunity to gain extra EXP.
When doing the Arkasodara Beast Tribe Quests on the eve of Dawntrail, 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 to pick up more quests from the Arkasodara straight away, gaining more EXP in the process.
5 EXP Earrings

When preordering Dawntrail, players are given a 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.

The Dawntrial expansion will hopefully see more great content added to Final Fantasy 14. Here are some additions we'd love to see.
To level new jobs such as Pictomancer and Viper, using Azyema's Earring is essential for leveling up fast to engage in much of Dawntrail's content. 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.
4 Side Quests
Complete Several Endwalker Side Quests And Only Turn Them In When Dawntrail Arrives
Benefits |
|
In FF14, side quests have always been available throughout every location across Eorzea, with each side quest giving EXP and the occasional item. A neat trick to gain EXP, when Dawntrail launches, is to complete several Endwalker side quests beforehand, with players needing to not hand in the quests immediately.
When Dawntrail launches, players should turn in the quests, allowing them to accumulate EXP, which can aid the leveling-up process. With Endwalker's vast number of side quests, players can complete several, resulting in an EXP boom at the start of Dawntrail, aiding progression.
3 Main Story Quests

Benefits |

FF14'
s acclaimed and successful MSQ is a lengthy journey that goes through many expansions, such as Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker. With Dawntrail's MSQ 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 before Dawntrail's release, if they have the remaining MSQ to complete, these quests will give a sufficient amount of EXP to help them level their jobs.
2 Deep Dungeons
Repeating Floors Of POTD And Eureka Orthos Is One Of The Best Ways To Level Up
Benefits |

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 before Dawntrail, the deep dungeons provide an efficient way to reach the maximum level.
Final Fantasy 14: 8 Best Data Center Servers You Should Visit
Choosing the right data center server can be difficult for new players of FF14. These are some optimal choices.
With the release of Dawntrail, 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 in FF14. An added benefit that comes with deep dungeons is that they enable players to play with friends, allowing for a more enjoyable experience while grinding to the maximum level.
1 Duty Roulettes
Daily Roulettes Are Necessary If Wanting To Level A Job
Benefits |
|
In FF14, 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 for Dawntrail.
