The only way I would ever tell someone to go ahead and buy a job/storypotion, is if its an alt and the player just wants to reach a certain point in the story to continue on.
Given that NEW GAME+ is coming, I can barely even suggest this now...
It's not worth it, it doesnt take that long to level a job to 70 even without all the bonuses available.
Even if you dislike a job, it takes little to no effort to cap it out. I think I capped my NIN in about two weeks of doing only alliance/main story roulette and beast tribes.
I want to experience the stories so I'll take the scenic route.
I would have been interested in buying the level up if, one: I didn’t already have them al leveled, and two: It didn’t skip the job quests.
The job quests might not be all that long or intricate (for the most part) but I enjoy them and would not want to miss out.
I leveled all the jobs the old fashioned way. There's no way I would pay for a potion unless it's for an alt on a different data center, and even then I would be more likely to buy a MSQ skip than a level boost. The post-ARR MSQ fetch quest slog is way more tedious than leveling a job from 1 to 70.
My reasoning being that I actually enjoy the leveling process. I like to learn the jobs from the ground up and experience their unique story quests (though some are better than others, naturally.) I already pay nearly R$60 a month to be able to play the game, it would be asinine in the extreme to pay another R$100 to not play the game. I have difficulty even wrapping my head around the logic of it.
you can easily level jobs past the first by using daily roulettes on them
the daily commitment is pretty tiny and it will let you experience them as well, might not like how they all play.
also, I may be wrong but i believe the level up potions mess up the crown achievements
I haven't bought any job level boosts since most of the content/time sink for me in a MMO is xping. I really hate doing the job quests if not for those xping be way easier. I try to think of them as level cap quests instead.
I have eight characters and MSQ is annoying since almost everything is gated behind it. It's why I end up buying story skip for three of them. I'm poor so the rest I have to slog through MSQ and skipping CS as I already seen them all doing it on one of the chars. At least ARR rewards you with a fantasia potion but HW gives nothing. It be nice if SE gave the option for full story skip if you have it completed on one char on the same account.
I would rather level them up so I learn the classes. Besides, leveling is ***WAY*** too easy to do anyways.
I'm that weird one that actually likes the leveling up process in MMOs, possibly more then the end game, so I level all of my jobs across all of my alts myself. Not about to dump money on boosts.
I prefer to level them. Leveling other jobs after your main takes very little time with all the leveling options available to players (and the EXP buffs available), so why spend money on a job potion when I can just save it and level manually? Plus, it allows me to familiarize myself with the way a job plays as I level it.
