How Do You Level Now? |

How do you level now?
Just wondering how everyone levels their jobs now with all the various ways their are to do it. Abyssea isn't what it used to be but there is the Trust system now, so I'm just wondering what everyone's system/method/opinion is.
1-16 - coalition courier quests (15 imprimateurs = 15 lvs)
16-30 - bostauniex power leveling 30-99 - abyssea (any) About time, 15 imprimateurs can be done in 30-45 mins, lv 16-30 can be done in 1- 2 hours cleaving leeches with blm, and 30-99 takes 2 sessions of gain exp roe in abyssea, so i would say, somewhere between 6-8h. Can be faster if in an actual party. As i also cleave solo as blm, its around 8h. I level the same ways I always have. If with some minor adjustments, namely the inclusion of Trusts.
(1~50 is what I once did, because all my jobs are either 50 or 99.) 1~15 South Gustaberg. (Was able to get Bounding Boots from doing so.) 15~33 Gusgen (not sure if I would go there again for this stage.) 33~70 Crawler's Nest. (SO many different places, and once you cap the first page's exp, all subsequent pages will be capped.) 70~75 Boyahda Tree. I level like this for 1~75 because I don't want to spend time going from lv20 skill to lv99. Also: I don't cheat. So using a bot to do that is out of the question. So I try and cap my skill at each leveling stage if I can and keep it capped at each level. (Which becomes really easy at the Crawler's Nest stage, cause chances are I'm gonna have 5/5 +skill gain buff by the end of it... So if I am a little below the cap at 75, can grind for a little bit up to the cap.) Post 75 is Abyssea to 99. Having capped skill at 75 makes gaining the 75>>>99 skill levels not so bad. Especially because all skill gain gear is 77+. Usually when I leave an exp party, I have the skill level of a lv85~90 character. (cause I only key from 75~90) Btw, skill up process was heavily nerfed.
So many things to help, plus reives, makes skilling up just a matter of short hours. A recent example: i leveld a mule to rdm, and his enfeebs was lv2. Started at 7h, now ots 10h and hes at 284, with just tema gear, ionis, moogle trust and fighting reives, that are above lv100. Im just having bad time due to stupids jps, that keep killing every pointless reives im skilling at, so i need to move every 30mins... 1-20: Starting areas, surrounding areas, very easy to hit level 20 with Trust NPC.
20-60: coalition courier quests. You can easily level by doing not much of anything. If you have this at full rank, Kamir Drift delivery will net you the most xp. Enjoy it. 60-75: Technically you could use the same method as above. But if you want the old school (slower) way, go hit the dungeons and do GoV. Or just go do Misareux Coast Raptor party all the way to 99 75-99 Misareux Coast Party easy peasy. 97-99 You can try to do Adoulin starting areas mob while farming sparks and skilling ups. With Trust NPC, these should be no brainer. 1-99, Fields of Valor / Grounds of Valor. Didn't even know there were trusts until around level 18 though, lol.

At raptor camp, you can get 400-450k an hour, so taking into account the 30 or so minutes it takes to cap lights, you are looking at 4.5 hours to get 30-99, and another hour or so to cap merits.

You don't. You key open the chests for the people killing them. Pantafernando said: » Are you kidding? Nope, it is not instant level mind you, but can easily level all sub jobs to 49 should he wish, by using Courier Coalition Assignment. All of my mules have jobs to 50-60 doing this assignment. It is best to do it from level 15 forward since the reward does not carry over if you get enough xp to level twice in one assignment. From level 15-25 I usually use 1 tag since it gives me 4-5k exp per run. From level 30 forward, I use 1 tag + 2 tag for support and frontline delivery. It's a great alternative for getting all those sub jobs done without having to deal with the actual XPing activity. Luvbunny1 said: » Pantafernando said: » Are you kidding?

What Panta I think means, is that for the first time lvl'ers, you don't get imprimatures until you hit lvl 95-99. They won't generate, and I have 5 characters signed up for the pioneering movement who can't get imprimatures. Luvbunny1 said: » Pantafernando said: » Are you kidding?

It takes around 20 days to get enough exp from 1-60 (16 if from 16-60) so not a good advice for someone who want to exp a job he actually want to use it.

I meant its not practical for leveling if you need that job due to forced waits to refil tags. It is a good option if it is for a job you just want to work on the side for without paying much attention to it until you are ready to give it attention, I think is what the intention is.
I jump started my blm, rdm, nin, and thf all recently by doing that until late 50's early 60's then started working on them proper. The mage jobs didn't have to worry about a skill up issue and just used spark books for ninjutsu. At the point I'm at now, I really don't like leveling up a job like the good ol' days, so I've been just exclusively using that method for leveling stuff I have a interest in. Otherwise I'd go to the nest, the sewer or the tree, depending. Idk.
Personally i just care with jobs that i need something from it, and when i need it, i need it for yesterday. Not to mention the case when one want to try ergon, and it becomes a kind of waste spamming imprimateurs in a capped coalition. Its not that important now, with just 2 jobs with ergon, but one cam reconsider that in case more weapons are added. Actually , I was looking for a method that doesn't include Abyssea until about 80+. I only say this because there is usually only 1 abyssea pt around on my server and I don't want to leech as a keyer with a low level job. That's why I started this thread, looking for alternatives to abyssea until 75~80. My old option was to just live in crawler's nest for about a week with capped prowess.
Right now I'm not sure that is feasible. I could do this but I have other things I want to do. Amarantos said: » Actually , I was looking for a method that doesn't include Abyssea until about 80+.

If outside abyssea, i would do bostauniex as soon as your level allows. They are even match around 60, but should be doable with 3 trust before that, or you can just try your lucky and see if someone is there. Bostauniex is the highest gov reward, capping exp at 4100 for 9 leeches. Before that im really not sure. I used to level sync till be able to bostauniex, but all old camps are semi dead. |
