Just want to throw this out there, VW and Abyssea don't come close to Dho Gates, during double XP. During double XP without any boosts you get 1 merit every 4~5 kills.

During double XP, yeah. I meant they are the most efficient not during. VW gets you a merit every 1 kill lol. sometimes 2 merits per kill^^
And while abyssea may not be the most efficient any more, it's still the most efficient if you can't be bothered. Just chill out whacking a worm or 2 when they pop up, not having to worry about getting hurt. If they doubled the number of mobs, exp would increase significantly as you only really need 3 good 119 DDs to clear all mobs.
Without double XP, it's actually that. This was the other night during the current 2x CP campaign. Was just 1 hour there. Silly JPs and their desire to end on time, I wanted to get CP chain 200. ; ;

We goofed and lost CP chain after 18 mobs or whatever, but was smooth sailing after that. Was in Dho Gates. And before the party comes in bout omg super amazing setup, setup was Whm, Brd, Geo/Dnc, Sam/Dnc, Dnc/War, Rdm/Idunno.
Oh yeah. Sorry, derp on my part, been too long since I played. Either way, point was Dho is fast, and double XP makes it way faster than any other option.
Nice idea but SE forgot one thing, it's been so long since people needed low level gear that nobody's bothered supplying the mats to make them, which also happen to be the same mats used for levelling up crafts.
The result was high inflation of crystal/cluster stacks and other crafting materials which had high demand but very low supply.
It would be nice if SE made this a regular event like once a month to encourage people to level crafts and farm crafting materials. It could reintroduce a market that's been long forgotten.
Dear Community Reps, do you know if they have any plans in the future to make this a monthly/bi monthly campaign? That one day was really nice for people still leveling crafts.
