Leveling Rotations and Tips for Summoner — Dawntrail 7.0

When leveling up, you should always choose the piece of gear with the highest item level. You can exchange Allagan Tomestone of Poetics for gear in Mor Dhona at level 50, in Idyllshire at level 60, in Rhalgr's Reach at level 70, and in Eulmore at level 80.

While the Summoner class is not unlocked until Level 30, your leveling experience may begin at Level 1 with the Arcanist job.
