    Local Leves in Version 2.0

    We have received requests for adding a teleport feature to the journal for local leves. Instead we have a better idea! In version 2.0, it will be possible to open up multiple widgets from the system menu so you will be able to select your teleport destination while looking at your journal!

    And to talk just a little bit more about local leves, in version 2.0, the methods for delivering local leves will change and the delivery destination for each level will mostly be decided. We feel that these changes will make it easier to figure out where you need to go to deliver materials.

    I really wish we had regional leve allowances and local leve allowances, so a hybrid from what it was on day 1 and today. Being forced to sacrifice DoW for DoH and vice versa has been a regrettable consequence of the changes.

    It used to be possible in 36 hours to do up to 16 levequests.

    Today it is only possible to do 12 now, under the new system.

    I understand we do not want to overload folks with too many leves, so I was considering alternatives.

    Note the suggestions below assume the 99 leve allowance cap remains as-is.

    Compromise 1:
    Leve allowances, which accrue at 5 leves per 12 hours, or 15 in 36 hours


    Compromise 2:
    Regional allowances, which accrue at 3 leves per 12 hours or 9 in 36 hours
    plus
    Local allowances, which accrue at 3 leves per 12 hours or 9 in 36 hours

    Compromise 3:
    ???

    What do other people think?

    The new system is much better. Leves as they are now are specifically catering to people who cannot play often and under the old system they would be missing out on leves, whereas in the current system they will end up accruing more leves than they will likely be able to use up. Not everyone wishes to level a crafting class so segregated leve allowances are wasted on them. Likewise, most people leveling up crafting now are taking advantage of leves and it would hurt their progress if they had less.

    This is implied as still in place.

    how about a courier system to deliver your local leve's for if you don't have the time, for a fee. Oh wait....that might actually take time and a higher thought process to create something unique.

    Instead we can skip and sing "Teleport here Teleport there Teleport Teleport everywhere!!".

    Glad to hear some news about Local Leves! I'd love to see some alternative to running around to hand-in locations or spending anima.

    I actually like Valmonte's idea of spending a fixed amount of gil to have the items delivered.

    Also, Valmonte, you have a good idea, but please be more considerate...

    I think he meant you can teleport to the aetheryte near the npc by clicking on the camp in the journal map... I really hope we wont be able to teleport right to npcs in 2.0
