In this part of the video, the speaker provides tips on maximizing experience points (XP) in a game through various methods. They explain that weekly tasks, like obtaining and completing a Wondrous Tails book from Khloe Aliapoh in Idyllshire, can yield significant XP. The strategy revolves around using daily roulettes efficiently, prioritizing those that offer the most XP per hour: starting with Trial Roulette, followed by Leveling Roulette, Main Scenario Quest Roulette, Alliance Raid, and then others. They advise against certain dungeons like the 50/60/70/80 Dungeons due to lower XP returns. Additionally, Frontline can offer good XP but provides less gameplay experience. The speaker emphasizes the importance of enjoying the leveling process and choosing dungeons wisely, suggesting players queue for the highest level available but avoid end-of-expansion dungeons.

In this segment, the video explains that doing roulettes is less effective due to longer queue times, suggesting alternative activities like Tribal Quests and daily Hunts. Tribal Quests, accessible at level 41, offer limited daily quests with varying experience rewards depending on the expansion. It’s recommended to skip the A Realm Reborn tribes for experience. For daily Hunts, unlocked from the Second Lieutenant rank in your Grand Company, the video advises unlocking sequentially from each expansion, highlighting the location of key NPCs for unlocking hunts in Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker. It also notes that A Realm Reborn daily hunts offer minimal experience and should be skipped.

In this segment, the video discusses strategies for efficiently leveling jobs in FFXIV, including using the FFXIV Hunt website for automatic route planning and the importance of using jobs within the correct level range for each expansion.

FATEs are recommended as a last resort for open-world activities between dungeon queues, with endgame expansions offering special rewards for completing FATEs. The summary of leveling strategy includes leveraging all XP boosts, prioritizing various duty roulettes, and engaging in tribal quests, hunt marks, and FATEs during queue times.
