About 2/3 of the way down the page.
The "Low Level" roulette category includes any dungeons you've unlocked from:
Sastasha
The Tam-Tara Deepcroft
Copperbell Mines
The Bowl of Embers
Halatali
The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak
Haukke Manor, Brayflox's Longstop
The Sunken Temple of Qarn
Cutter's Cry
The Stone Vigil
The Navel
Dzemael Darkhold
The Aurum Vale
The Howling Eye
Cape Westwind

It's level 16 minimum, but it covers everything from there to 50.

I think it's mainly the fact that Tanks will always be in demand, so when would a DPS ever be in demand for a duty roulette? it'd just say Tank, Tank, Tank everytime.

Gil isn't even useful. 40 extra myth would make me use the duty finder.

Problem isn't being hard or not... it's the problem of not having enough tanks for the amount of DPS/Healers... it's an incentive for having more people playing tank roles OR having the existent tanks to use DF more often.

That's what I'm wondering. Is it myth or philo. If it's myth that's a nice incentive to help out on a dungeon you normally do not get any from.

True. Healers too, though.

Maybe they should do job specific then?

It would prolly be better if they made the Bonus reward the MVP points, then more people would be willing to go on a role they might otherwise not want to play.

The gil reward is a bit to underwhelming to make the aspect of using it worthwhile.

I think it's smart. Players can benefit from playing as a tank or benefit from more tanking partaking in DF.

That's not going to make players flock to tank dungeons.

What they SHOULD do (as an economist) is give people the option to put their own gil (OT TOMES!!!) in as a reward to the in-demand class. You are a BLM, you need Praetorium, you put up 40k of gil, the tank sees in dungeon roulette there is a potential reward of 100k for doing a dungeon (your 40k plus 60k more from the other 5-6 people willing to pay for the run), and the tank goes, "Oh nice, let's rock this!". That would provide incentive for the tank to queue, for the tank to do well to finish the dungeon (he only gets a % based on how far the group gets), and it would avoid inflation because gil wouldn't be being pumped in, just exchanged.

Of course there would be the issue of cross-server gil exchanges and legacy players willing to spend 600k on something a normal player would only want to spend 10k on, but randomization and supply/demand equalizing should eventually smooth out.
