Basic Tips for Leveling

- Make sure when you have a little bit of money that you pick up some food (relative to your class) as they give a 3% xp boost.
you can find food vendors (culinarians) in every main city market area, however there is other vendors all around Eorzea.See Link for more locations.

- There shouldn’t be a need in the first 15 Levels to buy armor and weapons. You’ll go through them too fast anyway to justify the expenditure and the quests should give you all the upgrades you need.

- Whatever you do, make sure you keep up to date with your Main Scenario. Main Scenario quests are always marked by a peculiar icon like this:

You will not be able to leave your starting location at level 15 unless you unlock the quest for the airship.Same for dungeons, you wont be able to unlock them unless you follow the main quest

- Make sure you also keep up to date with your Class quests for Weapons and Armor every 5 levels. To unlock your weapons and armor via the quest, you will need to complete Solo Dungeons. In some cases, you will also receive permanent skill upgrades.
