How long does it take to 100% FF14?

Leveling to 100 in FFXIV varies wildly, from under 10 hours for dedicated players on alts using optimized methods (like FATEs in Dawntrail zones or dungeon spam) to weeks or months for casual players focusing on the main story (MSQ) or slower methods, with the first character taking the longest due to story progression. The most efficient methods involve daily roulettes, tribal quests, the Challenge Log, and FATE farming for the final 90-100 stretch, while the MSQ provides massive XP, making it fast for your first job but less efficient for subsequent jobs.
