level up from 42

Hello everyone!

I am kind of stuck at lvl 42. There doesn't seem to be a good place for me to level up. I went to coerthas from lvl 39 to 42, but the FATEs there are so further apart from each other. By the time I reach a FATE, it would be nearly over. And it's not like there are many FATEs in coerthas anyways.

I keep wasting my time leveling up more than one class instead of focusing on my main. I could have reached lvl 50 two weeks earlier if I just played with my summoner ..

Your help is appreciated :)

Move onto Mor'Dhona/CPP and find a fate group there.

Try Normal Quest and Story Quest. So you won't have to run around aimlessly.

I finished all quests in coerthas lol. And I am keeping up with the story quest. I just need to clear The Stone Vigil dungeon.

Mor'Dhona is my favorite. Very small area, lots of FATEs.

Then I would do Stone Vigil a couple of times for gears and exp. It's a nice short dungeons with a few interesting battle mechanic at the end. 42-50 is a short works if you do the next 3 dungeons plus FATEs and quest. Mix it up with a few battle levee while you are at it.

This might sound like a strange way to level up, but I hit the same bottleneck you did, and I ended up exploring the entire world. Ran into some nasty areas that rocked my balls, but after you clear an area (like east shroud, for example) you get a pretty massive chunk of xp for full discovery as well as incremental xp for each new location within that area. I went from 43 - 44 doing nothing but jumping through the map menu and running through those areas completely.

Failing that, make sure you've done all the guildleves (nice xp as well) and dragonrend fates seems to be the flavor of the month.

On a side note, they need to seriously consider tweaking (by tweaking I mean doubling) the xp rewards for quests. The effort and time investment versus FATEs is terrible.

I only did it once and we got wiped, because the tank didn't know what to do and he didn't have the patience to learn. Well, I am glad my friend who plays in my world is a tank. I heal in dungeons, and you can't imagine the number of times I faced tanks who don't know how to tank in dungeons..

lol It's always weird when I lvl up just like that when I discover a new locations. It has happened a few times. I will try that, thanks!

exactly! I run around from one NPC to another like a maniac, and even do stupid things like dancing for them lol, and then what do I get from all of that ? Little XP and gil. The quests themselves should be more "interesting" and doesn't involve meaningless running around.

I'd go Northern Thanalan. Went from 40 to 50 there. Most if not all of the fates there are 49. Just get a party and you'll hit 50 in no time there.

Rewards for Dungeons and Leves has been adjusted I believe to make them more viable vs FATE, not to mention no one learns anything about playing their class in FATE parties, you'll have a more satisfying experience if you find a group to play with and run dungeons and linked leves.

Northern Thanalan has one of those 30min boss fates that gives you a minion if you get a gold medal too.

This is where I am stuck as well.

They need to add more quests or something. Meh.

Alright guys I'll let out a little secret on how to get 400k+ exp/hr using leve quests if FATE grinding isn't a viable option. LVL 45+

Instead of explaining it I'm going to link to a YouTube video where someone demonstrates how fast it is.

You basically just do the escort leve quests... ignore all mobs that spawn and keep beckoning the NPC.

NOTE: It's going to take you something like 99 leve's to gain 1M exp in 2 1/2 hours using this method. Very leve resource intensive... not recommended unless your leves are just piling up.

Edit: Remembered total exp charts instead, I'm retarded. Still just gives you 2 levels instead at most.

Don't remember exactly what my exp bar said when I dinged 49 the first time, but I thought it was more like 579,000 so 1 million would actually be 2 levels worth almost.

I usually prefer to play with people I know, because otherwise it can get frustrating. Not everyone does their job right.

In the Processing Plant I guess, right?

There are a lot of quests between 39 and 41, but they do not give a lot of XPs for the time I spend on them.

I always keep up with hunting logs. Hunting logs are too easy for arcanists, you should know as you are one. I usually wait until I am 5 levels over when I unlock a new rank (for example 45) and then I go finish off all mobs in the hunting log. Perhaps I should already start with some mobs.

1 million exp is not enough for a level? are we playing the same game?

I thought lvl 45 exp for a level was around the 450-550k range...

you sure you're thinking of mor'dhona?

cause the mor dhona I went to is about twice as large as northern thanlan and the fates are so spread out its ridiculous
