Perhaps I'm just on a bad server?
I'll be doing leves until the economy becomes better probably.

@Aratharn
Have you tried linen yarn and cloth? That's what I made at your level.

As we speak there's literally hundreds of wool threads up.

- Does not having your LTW skill up high reduce this method of spamming leves? I've noticed leves still have you crafting Dated gear which still require LTW as a sub craft (my LTW is only 24)
- Do you just stick to Ul'dah as a WVR for leves? Or do limsa/grid have any good leves for spamming hasty hand?
- A lvl30 leves (maybe even lvl20?) still useful to complete, or just lvl40?

My LTW is not high enough, so there is an increased rate of failure on those old recipes in the local leves, but it shouldn't keep you from completing them at 45+.

I stick to Ul'dah leves just because its where I set my favored destinations in order to reduce anima costs. Since I generally have to hand one in at blue fog/ broken water/ and sometimes horizon.

30 leves still give over a 1000xp bonus. I find sometimes I have to do a couple to get more leves to reset in the 40's. I usually do the ones that are handed in at Ul'dah or the locations I have to go anyways. The 20 leves only give around 700xp. I pretty much hasty hand everything except for the one leve that resets at lv50, this one gives about 400xp per synth at lv 47 and is probably the only one worth crafting without hasty hand.

Yeah... Pants make the Man is the one that comes up as a 50 leve in Ul'dah, but I've never seen any leves for weaving there come up as a 45.

I ended up using the absurd amount of flax I had from leves and harvesting. Converted it into thread, and then used that thread to make the old colored linen cloth, which is a 49 synth and gave decent exp. The dyes are, at least on Cornelia, still cheap, so it's not too bad in terms of cost.

It's less worthwhile now at 47 though, so I'm just mostly burning leves at this point, but it was very nice in the early 40s.

Dyed Linen Cloth does work as a grind, if you can get the dyes and can afford the shard costs. Those old-dyes will "dry up" eventually though, they do still get posted from time to time.

I feel all the woes, I am level 43 Weaver, all I level on is the 4 R40 leves in Ul'dah.. its very tedious but I avg a level a day if I am able to grind leves for a couple hrs.. Weaver has no R45 Leves, but it does have a R50 one.. Ive been spamming the same R40 leves since L35..

They need new leves.. no reason we shouldn't get tons of leves for every 5 level increments.. still takes time to chocobo to the camp to turn in unless you are burning through your anima..

I am currently having to level leather to even DO my Lv.40 leves...

Ya man thats brutal but you can at least do leather to 35 w/o leves if you can afford mats or take the time to farm them..
