Sooo what about leveling a second class to 60?

Since the launch of 2.0 the best way to level had always been FATEs, or dungeons which would be a bit slower, but a lot less boring. In addition to your first 50 kinda being handed to you with all of the quest rewards. Still, leveling another class wasn't too bad.

Now in 3.0 I'm already worried. My first 60 is obviously a breeze with all of these quests, but what happens when I want to level up another? So far the only things I see giving reasonable amounts of xp are duty roulettes, but that can only be done so much in a day. After that what is there to grind that gives good xp? FATEs are absolutely horrible now and so are dungeons.

Am I completely missing something obvious or is there no real non gated way of grinding another class up?

...I don't know.. I ran Aurum Vale today and came out with 150k exp gained from it.

I'm worried about it to.
I didn't even wanna do side quests but I need to in order to find currents and get more EXP for my main.
FATES don't work anymore. Leves are 10 a piece to that's steep...
FATES 14k a pop is sad, very sad. I had to literally think hard about what job I wanted to max first because of this.

When you get to 60 is there another armory bonus that gives an additional 50% to everything? Then the fates wouldn't be so bad. I am not at 60 nor are any of my friends so I can't verify if it exists.

They really need to boost the exp from mobs in the new dungeons. 700-3k a mob is just bad. The sheer jump in exp required for each level post 50 is very high, and that paltry exp doesn't put much of a dent in it. Exp should scale with level of the dungeon. Not stay the same :/

Gotta grind it out... this is the makers of ffxi after all :P

Unfortunately for a lot of ppl, SE hasn't gone full WoW yet and allowed 20 dollar boosters.

Keep in mind they already boosted levels 1-50 a bunch. so 50-60 is the new 1-50; each level will be similar to 5 levels in 2.0

You needed around 25 Fate per level in ARR, but the scaling is just absurd in Heavensward, and unfortunately Fate XP doesnt scale very well :(

I just dont want to worry about it atm, still need to get my main from 57 to 60!! I think its gonna be a painful grindin.

Yea I'm worried about this too. I just got to the new zone and immediately started thinking if I wanted to go through the quests on my BLM or maybe try a few different classes to see if they click a bit better. I really hope they buff Dungeon/Fate XP because going through on another job will be a nightmare.

Armory Bonus from 50-60 is increased by 50% so it shouldn't be as bad as the first time, my guess is a mix of dungeons, fates, leves and challanges log is what will be needed.
