Viper and Pictomancer are the two new jobs introduced in Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail, which you can unlock in the starting regions of Ul'dah and Old Gridania, respectively. However, these jobs become available at Level 80, while the new main quest for Dawntrail begins at Level 90. So, if you want to experience the latest expansion with these jobs, you must first level the aforementioned up to the appropriate expansion level.
This guide covers everything you need to know to efficiently get Viper and Pictomancer to Level 90 in Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail.
Fastest ways to level up Viper and Pictomancer to 90 in Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail
There are various methods to quickly get Viper and Pictomancer to Level 90 in Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail. If you pre-ordered the new expansion, since it's already out in early access, you can start leveling up the new jobs immediately. However, if you are waiting for its official release on July 2, 2024, there are several steps you can take to expedite the leveling process once the expansion is officially out.
Here are ways to quickly level up Viper and Pictomancer in Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail:
Leveling Preparation for the Official Release
- Wondrous Tails Journal: Complete nine tasks from your Wondrous Tails Journal, which you can acquire from Khloe Aliapoh in Idyllshire, but don't turn them in yet. Once you have access to the expansion and have unlocked either Viper or Pictomancer, hand them in to immediately gain half a level's worth of experience points.
- Hunt Marks: Do the same with the different types of Hunt Marks from the Guildship Hunt Board in Old Sharlayan. However, keep one of your Hunt targets alive from each type of Hunt Marks and kill them on your desired job to gain a significant amount of experience points.
- Arkasodara Tribe Quests: If you have reached the Bloodsworn reputation with the Arkasodara Tribe, preparing their daily quests can also reward you with a lot of experience points.
- Buffs: Acquire The Heat of Battle Free Company buff and leveling food like Boiled Eggs to get a bonus to experience gain.
Leveling Process for both Early Access and Official Release
- There are three primary ways to quickly level Viper and Pictomancer to 90 in Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail: Zadnor/Bozja FATEs, Eureka Orthos (Floors 21 to 30), and dungeons.
- Premade Group: If you have a pre-made group of four players, the fastest way to level up the jobs is by completing the highest-level dungeon you can access or swiftly progressing through Floors 21 to 30 of Eureka Orthos repeatedly.
- Random Queue: If you are queuing with random players, the queue times will be long due to the influx of gamers also queuing on DPS jobs. In this case, experience gained from farming dungeons and Eureka Orthos won't be worth the time spent in queues. So, farming FATEs in Bozja or Zadnor by joining a random party is your next best option.
- Additionally, use The Heat of the Battle Free Company buff, leveling food, and the pre-order bonus accessory to significantly speed up the leveling process.
