Any worthwhile Battlecraft leves?

So I'm working on leveling up secondary classes and have capped Leve allowances. Anyone found battlecraft leves that are somewhat worthwhile in terms of time vs. XP? Or any side bonuses that make them worth doing? (crafting mats, items, etc)

I don't care if they suck in terms of XP vs. allowances spent. Any level is fine. I know Leve allowances are good for crafting/gathering, but I'm not looking to do those right now. Doesn't have to be better XP than FATE grinding -- just anything that doesn't feel like a waste of time.

Maybe some leves are faster than others and I haven't found the good ones yet?

Nnnnnnnnnnnnope!

No, they all suck hard.


Which is something SE has to address.

If you are leveling a CONJ or THM, maybe you can try those collect items from ground type leves, as you can just sleep every mob and get the item.
But I doubt they are as fast as FATE or more interesting...

Hi Rhaze,

If you're looking around for a leve, but find that your equipment may need to be replaced, you may look through some of the leve rewards to see if there's something you would like to wear. If you get enough of these, you can grab some cheap materia so that it spirit bonds faster, find a monster heavy FATE and try to spiritbond with it, convert it, keep the ones you want, market boards the one you don't want.

And if you're into achievements, you might want to take one of each leve at every camp.

I think as Arcana has said, the ones where you can sleep and/or if you duo, might be able to stall an enemy while you get the objectives cleared. If you ever get a /beckon leve, may want to have that emote on macro with /motion attached and kinda spam it while running to the destination.

Macro:
/beckon motion

This way, when you do the emote, it won't spam everyone else's chat log and still get the objective done without having to kill anything along the way.

They give decent items if your rings or neck are 20 levels behind. So I think they are worth it if you want to break free from the FATE grind.

Hmm, the items sound like something. Look through them where though? Does it show in the rewards window when you're accepting the quest? .. As I recall, I got one or 2 of the pink items from chests while doing leves, so that wouldn't show I guess. But I'll have a look -- thanks for that.

Not into achievements.

Aetherial items from chests are the only interresting part in levequests. I mean, I was able to get some great ilvl 42-44 (requires lvl 40) weapons and armors from Levequests treasure chests, but still, most of the time, when a chest pop up, there are only potions inside. I use leves as a way to break away from FATEs when I'm waiting after my brother... :rolleyes:

As for quest items, it shoulds show it before you accept the quest, as a reward item. I only got white items from it.

The short answer is "no". The long answer is "not a chance in hell or any similar location in other religions." In the time it takes to run 4 Leves by yourself you can do 3-5 FATEs and get WAY more exp. If you do decide to burn them on Battlecraft leves fast-run them. Get a level 50 in your party, run the Leves 5 levels above your range (do level 15 Leves at 10, 20 Leves at 15, 25 at 20, etc), up their difficulty +4, and let the level 50 do all the work and collect the rewards.

I notice Bounty bonus is nothing as well. I've gotten many, many bounty bonus additions and it doesn't get added. I don't know if its a bug or they have it disabled.

Mentioned, it's a good way to get Aetherial gear with no RnG dungeon roll's.

as everyone else said. no.

save your allowances for crafting leves. you get much bigger gains from them.

the only battlecraft leve I've found that's worth doing is the necrology leve at observatorium in coerthas

the exp sucks ass, like all other battle leves, but this leve consists of nothing but karakul mobs, which drop 2-3 baskets of fleece each fairly often, and a pudding mob that has a decent chance to drop pudding flesh.

that's pretty much it though
