Is there Lvl tokens?

[Freaky Old Man]

I want to play with some friends however I can not grind much and I don't care to much to spend month or weeks in trying to level up so Is there like in WOW with it lvl tokens or other MMO where u can buy token and lvl to max to get into the end game now?

FFXIV online store, but it's typically not recommended. A little research through the discussions will reveal why.

There's absolutely no point in skipping the content you're paying for.

[War Maiden]

If that is your caveats, you won't like this game.
Grinding is a thing, but not a big one. If you are willing to 'grind' over time, and your fellows are too, to get to a better place, than maybe you might like this game. If you "I don't care to much to spend month or weeks in trying to level up" this game might not be for you. Because - the higher levels, 70+ needs a bit of commitment. So it is up to you. 70 to 80 is a bit rough depending on your route.

Best you'll get is buying the job boosts and story skips from the online store. It'll put you straight to level 80 (for one job of your choice) and auto complete the story up to Shadowbringers. You'll still have to play through Endwalker and level to 90 manually.

Plenty of people would advise against it but you do you, just don't go complaining about the story after having skipped majority of it. Should also take some time to learn your class if you buy the boost. You're straight up griefing if you queue into party content with no idea how your job or the game functions, especially if its 80+ content.

End game in this game as stand alone content is kind of meh. MOST people who self-report only enjoying that content hate this game because of it, though you'll get a few forum warriors who say they love-love-love it (but still actively hate the rest of the game and complain non-stop when any of the game's story gets in their way).

But you can skip to the start of the most recent expansion and get a level boost, and blast through the last bit of the MSQ fairly quickly. They've got it mostly setup for easy skipping through the cutscenes and dialogue in the most recent content.

It's only available with actual money though, you can't buy it with in game currency.

I do *not* recommend skipping to Endwalker and then trying to follow the story from there. It's probably possible for it to make sense, but you won't have any context or the attachment to the characters that makes some of it work. It will just seem lame and probably confusing.

The option is there on the game store (Mogstation) but wouldn't recommend it due to it skipping a lot of story as others have said. That aside, even if you don't buy the level boost you can still play with your friends. They can either boost you through the dungeons or can level sync with you so you're all on a closer to same playfield in the various duties the game offers. In the open world they'll still smack things in very few to 1 hits, but through the default duty finder you'll all be on similar if not the same level.

I'd recommend doing the story, and MSQ gives enough exp to level one class to full and maybe a second one as well, and the other classes will get an exp boost based on your highest class level as well. Just note the early game may be a bit slow for people but it picks up starting at around 30.

The whole point of this game is its story. Level doesn’t really matter and endgame is a plus, not the core. You’re better off going back to WOW with that mentality.

i totally agree with this o.o

[Midnight Sky ✨🌙✨]

If you're going to skip, take the time to learn how to play the game before you do any content. It isn't 1:1 with WoW and if you jump into a trial expecting it to be then it's going to be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and you're not going to have fun.

Also, you always have the option to play through the story with new game+ and I'd encourage you to do so on your own time. If you're coming from WoW, I assume you're a raider and have some buddies to raid with. The story doesn't need you to have friends around so you can do that if you want to play when they aren't available to raid.

[Havok]

As others have said, it is not recommended to just buy a level skip on your first character. I understand wanting to get to the end game, but with the exception of the level 90 daily, i rarely ever get put in 80+ content. its normally 50-70 content.

As someone who didn't care for the story at all, dont listen to this. While I may not have enjoyed the story like 90% of everyone in the community, i still played through it all, and got a few jobs to 90 before i even considered buying a boost.

The story is one aspect of the game, and honestly, there are videos out there to give a rundown if you really are interested in it. Youre going from one themepark to another, the difference here is that XIV doesnt "encourage" you to buy a boost and just walk into endgame. The idea is that a 50 char is going to play alot different than a 70 and then ultimately a 90. If you exclusively want to skip to just run dailies with your friends, not care about public dailies, and you have 8 people to run savage and ultimate, go for it.

If you dont run through the game, yea youre paying $50 to skip it, but most people that do that have already played through the game atleast once, and have already sunk 1000 hours into the game. Youre throwing away 500 hours of the game realistically, and anyone that is at endgame would honestly tell you... it just is. it exists. If you don't like the grind now, youre probably not going to like the grind at the endgame. Mount farming, some of them taking months to do. Ultimate tier raid content, people playing 3x a week for 3 hours sometimes taking 2 months to clear if they are novice raiders. Relic weapons, a week just to get through one or two stages if you dont prepare before hand.

Buy the skip or not, the story can always be replayed, but youre probably going to burn out of the game faster if you do skip. Once you are at end game, the real grind begins. Alot of the time for stuff you want but you see the reqs for it and are like nahh. Besides, even if you do skip, youre still 130 hours of endwalker before you are set free. Youre going to have to grind eventually.

One last thing. As someone who actively plays all my 90 classes, whether it be healer, tank or dps.. If im not focused on one specific thing.. for example, relic weapon.. 1200 hours deep, I don't know what to do. There is so much yet I have no idea what i want to do. Well i want to be able to socket materia, oh, that requires multiple crafters, wait, the crafter needs to be the same rank as the gear to socket, oof, thats months of grinding all those crafters, but wait, gotta make sure you have 90 gatherers as well. The point is, at end game.. you might find a handful of things to keep you occupied short term, but XIV has ways of saying, oo you want this.. gonna have to work for it.

If you're going to job boost be prepared to be completely overwhelmed and misunderstanding how to play your job and underperforming.

Not only is there learning fundamentals like positionals and AoE markers and stack markers you'll have to learn how a job works from the ground up at level 80 when you haven't even been drip fed their gameplay.

I can't imagine picking up a level 80 Black Mage with 0 understanding of the job you'll just do it wrong. Paladin for example has almost 3 full hotbars worth of spells and abilities. Ninja has learning all the jutsu.

I seriously do NOT suggest buying class skips especially if you don't enjoy the job you'll just waste your money. The main story quests are enough to overlevel you and you can easily bring up other jobs behind to try them out but for the love of god do not boost jobs.

If you ARE going to buy any job skips I HIGHLY suggest you pick either Gunbreaker or Dancer. Gunbreaker is a tank but if you have ever tanked before in an MMO you'll catch on fine and their mechanics/rotation is simple. Dancer is a smidge more complex but easy to comprehend. At level 80 you can also pick up Reaper if you own Endwalker and Reaper is very easy to pickup and understand as well since it's designed to start at level 70. For the love of god avoid any other job ESPECIALLY Monk, Black Mage, and Ninja.

You won't need to. If you create a character on a new server you get Exp boost up to 80 anyway (Road to 80, +100%, works for any new character, your friends can actually join you and replay it with you). Plus there are variious other ingame exp boosts such as:
1)If you used invite code from a friend you get boost item up to 25 (+20%)
2)"Brand-new" ring boosts up to 30 (+30%) you get it by playing class tutorial
3)Any food item boosts +3% on top
4)Joining a guild (free company) can provide +15% but must be activated by the guild and is temporary, may be switched to another bonus
Overall you will have: +153%-168% up to lvl25 exp bonus, +133%-148% up to 30 and +103%-118% up to 80. You will be lvl 80 very fast, just do the story quests!

The bundles on mogstation will get you to 80, and you will be able to replay the story later from the beginning or a chapter (New game+ option) with that character. If you don't want the story you can get up to speed by watching a recap of Realm Reborn first https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z6Srs4wpzI and then if you're interested you should go into the New Game+ and continue replaying it from that point. If not, you could look up the other recaps (Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers).

Once you beat ARR you unlock a few roulettes (random daily dungeons/raids/etc), these are done at the level the dungeon was meant to be at meaning you dont just 1 shot everything.

This is a great way to play with your friends who are 50+ levels above you.

not to mention the amount of time required to go through the character and system config.
Lot of bad defaults settings. (most common one is simply making the U.I. slightly smaller. before cleaning it up over time.)
