leveling crafts mostly, I have gladiator to 50, and bunch of other jobs to 20, but really been focusing on crafting since I figure once there is more stuff to do leveling be more important later, and leave less time to craft. Though I guess I could be 50 in all jobs if I hadn't gotten distracted working on other things outside of the game.
This was my strategy from a wile back as well, the problem is with the change of jobs and how they are used, many jobs are being left behind for the end game events like ifrit and the mogs. Only battle job i have to 50 is my pug, i LOVE my pug and have very nice equipment but because there are faster ways to burn the end game content down i never get into partys to do these =(. If i spent half the time i use to lv up my crafts and gathering id have half of the battle jobs maxed easy but as it stands I have some nice crafting levels ready to craft up the sweet gear as soon as they release it ^^. looking back i wish i would have lvd at least 2 other battle jobs to 50 tho.
I did battle back in the day....
After 1.19 crafting got a lot easier... so I did most of my crafting after that
I have cooking/armorer to 50, with 2-3 days of leve's maxing out blacksmith at 50k, maybe one good day but usually things distracting me. Fishing is at 48, mining is at 50, and botony is at 46.
That was my plan.

Sadly, when I realized that I needed all that Flax that I sold before, I went into despair and now I just run around pretending I'm doing stuff.
i did this when game was free, i had the time to level all my mele class too but my notion on leveling all my crafts was get them all out of the way now that it was free and for when game gets better then i don't need craft other then for gils (mele wise i figured lot more classes would come..plus cap raises so it was a good thing to level all of them to max too, but then you have 0 to do, and you leave game like i did lol).
also at some point they will raise caps but make you chose witch craft to pick to take higher(only can have one later) so this i assuming will mean i have all my subs leveled for it. also till then i can least make gils with all crafts, as in later you will only be able to really make with one craft then buy everything from all other crafts that you need under the subs. but it takes it's toll leveling craft all day, i got burnt the frig out by the end of it. only good thing if want to think possitive was i caught up on every tv show in creation, i was even watching out of country tv cause i ran out of stuff to watch lol.
