It's a daily thing. Are you planning to level them at same time? Otherwise pick one you want to level, use all roulettes for exp then use PotD for 1-61 and HoH for 61-71. You can then use Bozja for leveling jobs 71-80. In reality you can get a job 1-80 in a few days if you really grind.

[Eragon]

Here is a really good guide. If you have resting bonus and are leveling a tank or healer I would go this route and spam dungeons. If you are a DPS your que's will be longer so you will probably be better off doing the PotD/HoH/Bozja method.

Edit: this is more for alt jobs. If you are just starting I would say just do main quests and side quests and you will level along with the story no problem.

[Boyiee]

Yeah I think my focus will be WHM + a DPS. Maybe not exactly simultaneously but close enough to swap back and fourth to avoid fatigue.

So my WHM is 50, I have drg and Sam in 60's, and a few in 30's. Firstly will be WHM so I wasn't sure if when I got to MSQ where drg is if I should skip and continue dungeon/roulette leveling. I haven't narrowed down a DPS yet either since I'm not sure what I will enjoy the most but drag is the highest.

Should be worth noting: You can accumulate tomestones to buy gear before you actually get to the part of the main story quest where you can actually buy said gear, so you can ding into almost-finished i520 gear towards the end of the 5.0 set if you get to 80 and you do roulettes a little bit for tomestones (tomestones of poetics you get for almost all roulettes after 50 I think, and the ones whose name escapes me at the time you get from most roulettes once you ding 80. Also, Poetics can be used to get top tier get at 50, 60 and 70 once you actually unlock the relevant story parts, and will carry you until around, um, 55, 65 and 75'ish if memory serves?), so swap it around a little

[Zetanio]

How shot glowy weapons. TIA.

EDIT: Ya boi is 52 drg

[Cantih]

There's several types.

If you mean Relic weapons, the questline for the ARR weapons is in north shroud, in the little village in the top right of the map. Easier these days, but still very grindy.
There's the Padjali weapons from Palace of the Dead.
There's the weapons from the Ultimate Raids, which you aren't getting anytime soon.

And lastly, they put out craftable versions of primal EX weapons that include aura effects. Those are going to be the easiest to get, though some might still be expensive depending on the craft mat drop rate.

[Anoat]

Bozja relics the easiest to get but you won’t get there until endgame. But they are easy. I’ve got like ten lol

[Greedouw]

The 30x item stage is pretty nasty tho…

[Koul]

Got my ARR PLD Nexus relic. Shit is shiny as fuuuuccckk. Not sure if I wanna take it to zeta. Sort of like this look better. Those fucking books took me a full day and got lucky with gathering all the light needed with a bonus TamTam dungeon. Busted it out in an hour and a half. Spoiler huge.

Spoiler: show

[Athas]

Can always get glam for the prior stages, BLM has the same problem where the zeta is a downgrade visually.

[Scythiroth]

Well, if you do decide to finish, you can always buy replicas of any stage you want to use for glamour.

So I've decided to be a masochist and get myself a Drg ARR Zodiac weapon between now and November, and I have a question. Luckily I've already done the Atma phase a long time ago, but for the books, do I have to do everything synced? Or can I just zerg dungeons and shit unsynced? Fates aside that is of course

Edit: Also any general tips to make the process more efficient? AFAIK, the book part is still the most tedious of grinds, but how about the rest?

[Gokulo]

Dungeons can be done unsynced, just remember to equip the weapon for the last boss

[Nitsuki]

I think that’s what i’m gonna do once i finish the 7 current relics i’m working on at once. Gonna work on the ARR, HW, and SB relics for drg only.

[The Stig]

For ARR relic I find the lights phase to be more horrible, the books seem easy in comparison (if tedious).

I recommend pre-gathering the items:

The items which costs Poetics:
3 Superior Enchanted Ink (75 Allagan Tomestone of Poetics)
Tier 1-3 Materia
75 Alexandrites

Pick up the quests as soon as possible for https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/w..._Weapons/Quest and get all the items needed listed here

If you prep properly and have all the items ready, here's what you do:
Get to Lights phase, lights reset every 2 hours, for the UK right now I noticed the light window is 1pm-3pm 3pm-5pm 5pm-7pm and so on, what I did was quickly try to start finding the dungeon that's on bonus from 1pm, and then grind out all the lights for that portion, then in the following quest, quickly hand in all the items i prepped, so i can get back to grinding the same dungeon 12 times for the victory lap at the end (otherwise you need to grind 24 if you don't locate the bonus)

[Vaspinne]

Ahh perfect, I appreciate it!

[Nitsuki]

Can the lights be done unsynced?

[The Stig]

Yeah everything can be done unsynced, you just need the weapon equipped at last boss.

[Koul]

For the 9 books, the "hardest" part is the FATEs since they can be finicky with popping but you can world hop and more than likely it'll be up on one of them. Also, I would just leave the weapon equipped when you run dungeons because if you zombie out like I did and forget to equip it on the last boss, you'll have to redo it. Kinda shitty

With the lights phase, MAKE SURE YOU SOULGLAZE IT FIRST. Otherwise you won't gain any light. If you want a number it takes 250 normal ifrits to get to max light or 42 TamTam runs. ifrit took 10 seconds to kill and tamtam was taking me 3mins at lvl 75 with full 70 poetic gear
