In this part of the video, the creator continues their remastered leveling guide, emphasizing the importance of utilizing leveling bonuses, particularly for the next levels. They suggest that while fast leveling (about 30 levels in 8 hours) is achievable, it requires patience, endurance, and possibly the support of a leveled squadron or team for quick dungeon clears. For those leveling old jobs, they recommend making use of the armory bonus, engaging in main scenario quests, and completing class and job quests. They highlight the efficiency of the leaf quest “Adam and Toys Tears” for rapid leveling to 36 and describe “Palace of the Dead” as effective from levels 51 to 60. Dungeon grinding is also suggested, with an emphasis on the benefits for tanks, healers, or using a well-trained squadron for DPS roles. The video advises against burning out and encourages players to enjoy the methods they prefer.

In this segment, the speaker emphasizes the need to unlock command missions and meet certain requirements to use your AI team effectively. They recommend taking the DPS role for yourself while letting the AI handle tank and healer duties, as the AI’s high HP pools make them effective at tanking. Using the most recent dungeons yields the highest experience points, and it’s crucial to gear up around levels 31 or 32 using grand company or market board equipment to aid in leveling speed.
The segment also covers filling queue times with activities like FATEs or hunting log targets while noting the added experience from challenge logs. The speaker points out that job selection impacts dungeon difficulty, with some jobs learning useful abilities earlier. They suggest completing job quests during dungeon queue times and exploring additional methods like using Blue Mage abilities to speed up the leveling process dramatically, particularly in tougher dungeons like Aurum Vale.
Finally, upon reaching level 50, it’s essential to gear up properly before venturing into the Heavensward levels, as appropriate equipment from A Realm Reborn end-game content becomes accessible.

In this segment of the video, the speaker explains how to effectively upgrade your gear in Mordona using tombstones of poetics. They note that the cap of 2,000 tombstones is insufficient to upgrade all gear slots to item level 130 and suggests prioritizing pieces with good stats and securing a solid weapon for the most significant improvement. Additional gear can be obtained by running duty roulettes, spending gil on the market board, or enlisting help from crafters.
Once geared up, the speaker advises players at level 50 to either continue running duty roulettes or engage in specific dungeons and buggy fates, especially those in Outer La Noscea, to level up swiftly. They highlight the efficiency of completing challenge logs and state that dailies and fates can be beneficial while waiting for dungeon queues.
To level up quickly, the speaker recommends focusing on dungeons once reaching Heavensward content, as these are the most efficient compared to other methods such as fates. They also mention that Palace of the Dead is a viable alternative for those seeking variation. Lastly, they suggest continuing the fate cycle in Outer La Noscea below level 53 and unlocking the clan hunt by completing prerequisite quests with the player’s grand company.

In this part of the video, the narrator explains strategies for leveling up in Heavensward, emphasizing the importance of clan hunts and how to effectively use the hunt board near the Forgotten Knight. They advise against tackling higher-level enemies in certain areas like Isla or the Dravanian Hinterlands for fresh level 50 players. The narrator suggests utilizing the “Recommended” tab to highlight required clan hunt targets, simplifying the tracking process. Additionally, they recommend combining clan hunts with beast tribe quests and fates to maximize efficiency. Another useful method mentioned is using the Wondrous Tales for a quick level boost, especially when nearing level 60 or encountering long dungeon queues. They highlight that leveling becomes more time-consuming at higher levels, particularly in Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansions. Finally, the video encourages viewers to enjoy the leveling journey by alternating various methods and avoiding burnout.
