The last real serious leveling I had done in this game was back several updates ago and the game has changed considerably since then. Back at the time, there were certain levequests that my LS would repeat ad nauseum because they were the best for generating exp. Can anyone suggest to me now if there are particular levequests that seem to be the most beneficial? I am currently going to be working on my Conjurer 25 and Marauder 9. Thanks!
I'm not sure if any leves give noticeably higher exp than any others, but in case you didn't know, leves are not the best way to get exp anymore. The exp on leves has been nerfed horribly, and now grind exp parties are the way to go.
Grind parties are good if you can find them otherwise your best off plowing through 1 star leves near your level just for the xp bonus at the end.
Grind pts are def your best bet.
I found that sometimes its faster to get exp simply by grinding ur way thru mobs ur same lvl at until u can do lvl 30 leves. Just find a group of mobs and go for it no running around, back and forth loosing exp thru down time. At 25 Id say ur best bet are Sea Puks by Cederwood or crabs around bloodshore, they have many little groups that wont aggro or link if ur solo and at lvl 9 there are plenty of lvl 10 marmots north of black brush and there are lvl 15 dodo near the entrance to nanawa mines.
Ppl on our server are always looking for cons so that one you can almost def do in a grind pt
I found that my xp/hour is best when I'm grinding 1-star leavequests. For example, when I'm level 36 and do level 30 leavequests, I usually finish in under 5 minutes (often as quickly as 2 minutes).
At this level I get about 2k/leavequest, and can do nearly 12/hr.
I can grind about 24k/hr doing this (including trips back to get more), and found this to be the most hassle-free way to get XP.
Let the leaves collect up (I think I have over 120 now), and then go leavequest crazy!
Not sure how leaves are at levels over 40.
I do not do leaves under 30 as it is not worth the xp.
New player here, was wondering if all this information is still true or not. It sounds like since the levequests were nerfed so badly it might be best to only use them on a crafting job or something
Well, with the last update, they raised the exp and you don't need the blessing anymore. Beating a level 30 monster in a leve will grant more exp than defeating a 30 monster outside of one. Plus there is the nice completion bonus. Not sure how it compares to parties, but for solo it seems the best.
Leves aren't so bad, easily solo'd or can be scaled for a small group. Plus you can get decent gil for them. And with the achievements as well, no reason not to do them. Don't forget that behests pop at the camps every half hour for additional exp and gil, and there's achievements for them too. Makes me wish all my battle classes weren't 50 already.
And i'm pretty sure all leves now give the same amount of exp these days. The only difference would be how many mobs you kill in them i suppose, which doesn't vary enough to be an issue i think. I had an old spreadsheet back in the day that showed which leves were best, but it's all moot now =(
