Where to Level Now?

[Shibayama]

This is a noob question I know, but...

So I want to level a new job, but I also don't really want to keyburn it - It has ben quite some time since I had to level a new job and now that 6 man exp parties are a thing of the past, I was wondering what the new FFXI 2012 leveling progression zone-map was outside of abyssea?

Solo to 15 --> 15-3oish GoV book burn at Gusgen Mines. 30-55ish, GoV book burn at the Crawlers Nest. 60+, Bostonmarket Oubliette. Unless you wanna do a more old school feel and grab a few friends and just do FoV together. I soloed to 50 fairly quickly, but then I didn't know about the new changes in party dynamics.

Once I finish Blm, and Dnc I plan on leveling pup strictly through FoV's. For me the GoV book burn in an alliance is not really leveling anything like the old days. Might as well just burn w/e job in abyssea. Same thing almost. Only comparison would be like level syncing in Quifim 19-75 lol.

When I go to do pup it will be for fun, and to learn the intricacies of the job from the ground up.

Solo to 30, aby to 99.

Abyssea level burns are ridiculous. People walk out at 99 poorly skilled with no clue how to do their job. Do Abyssea once you've leveled at least one job traditionally before joining the ranks of a thousand other people wearing the same outfit that have no idea how to close a lv.1 skillchain so you can at least say you earned it.

No such party exists.
I mean it. Solo to 30 and then aby burn to 99. Once you are 99 you'll be able to skill more freely and unlock otehr things with ease. Dont' listen to people who bitch about skills, we're in an age that you get it after you're don'e leveling, not while you're leveling.

amen

you really have to question the validity of people who attack burns at this stage of ffxi's life...

Well young one in Final Fantasy XI there is an open freely explorable world with a new area to party in every 15 levels or so. Its amazing to discover new shores, learn skill as you slowly begin to master this game...

Oh wait whoops I mean if you want to lvl then
Step 1: Solo to 10 then go to a cave in gusgen mines fall asleep wake up at 50
Step 2: (warning this is the hardest part of the game) shout in jeuno for limit break quest till someone helps you.

Step 3: Go to a another cave (this one is epic) in crawlers nest fall asleep again but make sure your on follow wake up then repeat step 2.

Once your finished and your 99 you've mastered the game.

FAQ

Skill?
You don't need that anymore you'll be right you get full merits for participation in this game we want everyone to feel special.

Challenges?
There are some but don't worry they'll be nerfed soon.

What do I do now?
Once you get the best gear in the game its time for the ultimate afk experience standing around in Jueno waiting for ppl to examine you.

Oh? So you have beaten Legion, Voidwatch, gotten all Providence drops you want, perfected the Neo-Nyzul runs, fully explored Walk of Echoes, and completed a Relic/Empyrean 99?

Wow man, and here I was thinking you have no idea what you are talking about!

What part about what you just said invalidates my point? I said when you get the BEST GEAR IN THE GAME which is easy to get if you willing to spend the time to do it also I said that challenges ARE in the game but because everyone cries about them so much they will be nerfed.
