I highly recommend you – depending on your class – to remove or put skills which move you around on a hotbar miqo dosnt use. Same goes with stun and silence. Use them on your own and situational. Otherwise it might kill you. Dont overpull. Take shitton of the potions and use them before you initiate battle with a mob. Go through every room and fetch every chest in the first floos and then treat the higher floors like 170+ no matter if its floor 50 or 120.
Be very careful if you use combat assist, and be aware that that can overlap and sometimes prevent triggering the regen potion. Always keep it on cooldown even if it cancels combo or whatever. Sacrifice dps to do mechanics.
If you hit a bomb/bomb chest then stop everything, use the regen potion. WAIT until you are max healed.
Might be slower but solo’d on first try with that.

I do appreciate the math done here, but i see a very critical flaw in the math:
The lack of Heat of Battle 2 or 3.
Because hear me out, i earn at least 1,1 mil exp in a Sohm Al. With either the FC buff or the Squadron Scrolls. I daresay using these can reduce the run time for this significantly – espescially abusing rested exp. Might not be an instant do-all-at-once scenario but i daresay it is worth abusing the heck out of rested and the Heat of battle buff.My opinion is as following:
QoL:
1) Global chat pause
2) Global pause button
3) Inventory Management
4) Potion use for Combat assist and/or smart Potion/Food/Manual use in generalScenario:
Levequests.
Logging out function maybe?Blue Mage support (even if it’s just some but most common skills)
Better Diadem Support
Glad to help!
Basically the poetics gear is the final tomestone gear from that expansion.(in this case for level 70 gear its augmented scaevan which is ilvl 400 – there is no higher ilvl than that for lvl 70) It used to be a heck of a grind to get a set, but since its outdated, the devs made it available to be bought fully augmented via poetics.
If you choose to do Palace of the Dead / Heaven on High during some steps, you will automatically also get poetics. Win win.
I hope you will have a great week too and have fun leveling!I have been constantly leveling via Squadron and Trusts. My personal method has been the following:
1-20 -> Hunting log + challenge log (Fate one, this applies only weekly), if levels are missing, potd (in case of doubt with assist, i saw no problem with that)
20-50 -> Squadron. Choose always highest level squadron if possible. Use “Full clear” for more exp (espescially brayflox + Stone vigil).
50-53 -> Arguably potd or still squadron. Be aware that you will meet a itemlevel gap for entering Sohm Al
53-70 -> Sohm Al. This one is the slowest portion, but you can also substitute with Heaven on High on 61+ with assist.
70-71 -> pixie tribes; saves time compared to more sohm al runs, you can use the time until reset for other classes. Otherwise recommendable would be MSQ roulette and aiming for praetorium
71-75 -> Holmister Switch spam
75-80 -> Qitana ravel spamTips:
1) If you pre-order endwalker right now you get a exp earring who adds exp bonus up to level 80.
2) For Squadron use Archers
3) Sohm Al gives roughly 1 mil exp with food buff, exp earring and FC grade 2 battle exp buff
4) Squadrons can give EXP manuals once per week. they apply a stronger, 2h exp buff. 10 per week if they succeed. Best send them out while you do 71+ runs.
5) For trust use Thancred as tank, Exarch (if you finished current msq) as Healer (otherwise urianger), and Alisaie (because she spams LB + potential emergency heals)
6) If you dont mind being kinda active i still recommend going with assist on the highest trust dungeon level which will be roughly 2 runs per level. Assist helps here greatly.
7) DO YOUR CLASS QUESTS IN BETWEEN NO MATTER WHAT UNTIL LEVEL 70 BECAUSE YOU NEED THE SKILLS!!! (cannot stress that enough)
8) Prep as soon as possible Augmented poetics gear from Rhalgr’s reach for lvl 70. They will last you until Quitana and then you just use quitana gear.As mentioned, this is/are my main methods, maybe others can help or do it differently.
I hope this is the right threat….
If its not a mistake on my part, there is potentially a mistake orsomething which could be improved which i saw during tanking. Something which might highly improve mitigation would be the use of Arm’s Length during masspulls. I have seen it not being used while trusting/using assist on Paladin. Its on a hotbar which is used, and i see other defensive skills being used. I do not know if this happens on other tanks, maybe someone else has an idea around it.
And if its a error being caused on my end – could someone help me fix this?I will second that. There is no use having an unsafe bot which leads to users being banned left and right. Economical thinking this would lead to users potentially seeking to other solutions and jumping ship which might bring even a higher loss of money.
In addition it seems to keep out of certain ingame drama which i heard other bot services participate in. I kinda am glad about that. (Hunt community. Eherm. I heard certain things from that region)Sohm Al solo unsynced with Miqo’s squadron function – as one of those scenarios does – took me about 8-9 min and the result was about 8k seals. Holminster Switch Trust run is 30min and about 13k seals, if I remember correctly. Since you could do 3 Sohm Als in that time, it’s definitely better. Not sure how long it takes with the Squadron though, it’s been a while since I tried it.
Been grinding Sohm Al for past days for leveling.
Average run is 19 mins with a full on Offense set Squadron and going as RDM and undergeared. I hope this helps.Been crafting resplendent recipes for a bit for the first stage and I would say the ratio is fine and there aren’t any too bad losses. IIRC 120 crafts resulted in a loss of less than 20 in the first stage. Roughly 20-30 turned into resulting in 1 material per turn in, the rest into 2 materials per turn in. It’s far more stable and has less of a loss ratio than my expert macros for ishgard.
If needed, I can do some test crafts, write the numbers down, and post the result here but it might take me a day or two.Would like to add my voice to putting the leveling dungeons and a tomestone grind dungeon at a higher priority if possible.
3. Level 82 dungeon: In my opinion the support for a level 85 dungeon is just QoL, as it makes the level grind process quicker. With leveling in general (lvl 81 dungeon) and tomestone farming (level 90 dungeon) out of the way, the level grind can be made more efficient by implementing that dungeon.
I dont think there will be a Lvl 82 dungeon but next level would be 83. Since Heavensward the Dungeon levels have been 51/53/55/57/59 and their respective levels for Stormblood and Shadowbringers. Given that many parts of the game are predictable based on past behavior of the devs, its safe to assume that this pattern will stay.
To fish in diadem you will need to buy diadem-specific bait. The versatile lure may work but im unsure on that. You can talk to the vendor inside of diadem to buy bait.
I notice that it will use mooch upon getting HQ fish, but if it’s a 2 “!” tug, it will ignore it (with or without the mooch), thus losing the fish and bait. Is this intentional? Using hoverworms ofc.
Go into the fishing tab under Presets for diadem and untick “medium” under ignore tugs. That solved that for me
This guy says it takes 80-90 steps manually: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/mru7pq/finally_obtained_my_1st_resplendent_tool_and_my/
I read into the post and i do think this person seems to be new to Experts. Ideally you wish to scrap unlucky crafts for the sake of time.
Can only recommend using the patient touch gamble. With manual craft and gamble i have been able to do 2-3 mins per craft. Also semi macros help. (Yes. Expert recipes are absolutely macroable.)
Greetings from a Multi-saint.Edit: As comparison, i have seen unlucky crafts go to up to 150 steps on expert recipes during competitions so 80-90 still seems not too bad for unlucky.
I do apologize that I chime in, this is also a new post and I am a new user.
I personally only use mainly miqo for trusts so far and I do wish to add that Matoya and the new dungeon will be the new Expert dungeons until 6.0 drops. Gauntlet will be outshelved and lose massively the number of Tomes it drops, making it really not that effective anymore at capping weekly tomes. (9 runs vs 15 ones. which raises the time needed to cap the weekly to 7,5h according to my math and experience. Not speaking of the secondary tomes either.)
This makes it literally not only unviable as an effective method of capping tomes, but also less effective than literally doing nothing by oneself in the trust dungeon. If it cuts development time, maybe this could be considered as a potential short-term solution to please maybe both sides. If this is absolutely not possible I would love to know asap so I can adjust. I planned to use miqo for the long-term weekly cap grind on alts since it was more viable than my previous method. -
