I'm getting 400-800 SP rewards upon completing them. Killing mobs only give up about 120 SP on average.
This is extremely painful and demoralizing. Looks like I'm grinding away to the top like in the original Lineage.

i want to bump this thread because i somewhat agree it is low, however, dungeons based on another post seem to yield like 6.5k sp or something upon completion on top of mobs in the zone giving 200+ sp per so there's always that.
Other than that it feels like atm the game is favoring ff11 grind parties, and without xp chains!
*grumble grumble*
something must be wrong on your end. i just did my 8 leves, on 40 4 star as mrd 46. getting 5-6kish per leve just doing them at the speed of light avoiding anything that i dont need to kill to complete.about 40k sp solo in less than 1h.
yes, true but I think he's still upset because total sp by end of leves could have been like 80k rather than your 40k you got in less than an hour.
Counterargument to my point just realized though is that grind parties or dungeons can remedy the lack of 40k sp I mentioned...so yeah I'm done here lol.
zkieve got it right. =)
@Ventus: Sounds great to me somewhat. Too bad about the lack of XP chains, though.
@Zkieve: Just liked your reply, you're probably right but I'm done for the night. I'll be back on the saddle tomorrow night when I'm not fighting against the server.
It looks like they destroyed guildleves for low ranks and buffed them for high ranks. It's like the exact opposite of what it used to be before the patch, makes absolutely no sense.
leves aren't meant to be the main leveling source now.
I know I am probably one of the few who would like to see FFXIV take a more party oriented route then soloing. Although I have been here since Alpha I find FFXIV soloing (anything) extremely boring. I will be much happier with Grind Camps and set party roles, although I do not want a FFXI-2, I miss the days of FFxi pre-Astral Burning Abyssea Crap fest.
It feels about right for solos, but then the raid is still new and grind parties non existant.
Solos shouldn't be going at the speed of parties. Though we were kind of used to fast leveling of failing leves.
Actually thats kind of funny, because one of my biggest reason of not logging into ffxiv each day was because I hate using broken mechanics to win. After 6+ years in ffxi I quit simply due to Astral Burns, watching people hit 75 who had no right to be 75 made me sick to my stomach. :( (thats an opinion mind you)
Now that i think about it i did use guardian aspect,forgot to say it.
Im a bit disapointed the leve min-maxers went from ----
--Do leves that have more mobs .
to
--Do leves that can be done in short time.
I guess a lite effort = Reward was to much to ask.
Dont'f forget about mobkill links which were mentioned fro next updates, this might be planned and link will improve it greatly. I would wait before this low sp complains. I didnt try yet, so no worries :-)
Everything is rough around the edges...we knew that for months. Kicking the physical bucket is next, so then we can finally say what is a slower-faster leveling without physical levels to mess around with.
Really though, most people who have stuck with ffxiv have 3-5+ 50's not including craft classes. Really its the people like me who were disappointed in how you'd have to abuse mechanics to level fast decided not to play that suffer. I'm fine with it however, I would rather play right and enjoy myself then abuse a broken mechanic to get ahead. With that said I am hoping for some major groupage! Some nice grind parties hanging out talking shit and killing mobs. Now just get my Chains and I'm gravy :)
