As a new character, is it worth doing all the quests? Is it mandatory? Is there a better way to level up / progress in the early levels?

There's four types of quests, more or less, in the game. They are:
In general, these days, the best XP comes from Duty Roulette, whose once daily XP bonus is about half a level. After that, dungeons around your level provide good XP and gear, in addition to teaching you how to play your class in groups (the game being largely based around advancement through group content). Quests and FATE grinding end up being fairly similar these days, I believe. Before the MSQ unlocks the first three dungeons around level 15, the fastest way to level is to go through the MSQ, do the side quests at each quest hub, and hit FATEs when you see them pop on the map. Technically speaking, nothing is ever mandatory in XIV, but you'll find your advancement curtailed if you don't do the Main Scenario Quests (as you lose access to dungeons) and avoid grouping (as the best gear comes from dungeons either directly or indirectly via Tomestones).

Thanks for the prompt reply! That clears things up for the most part. I guess I'll do the silly "fetch this" quests until 15 and then try the dungeon runs

I also know if you're like me an have the Pokemon "gotta max 'em all!" mentality towards classes/souls, you may want to skip some parts of zones. Especially zones where the quests are 15+.Â
Getting a class to level 15 is easy. Just do the hunting log, fates you run along into, and some level 10 levequests. However after 15, the leveling process can really slow down, so I skip whole hubs and grind on some classes so when I go back to level another, I have different options to level that class. |
