leves are RNG based

ok sooooo i need the Who Writes History GC leve, well i went to the leve guy to see he didnt have it, soooooo I looked it up saw it was uldah and did the two he had. And then he didn't get it, soooo I did another one and then he didn't get it. Like WTF why is this RNG based this is so stupid. the animus books are already the most horrid thing i have ever done in any game EVER so why make it that much more retarded...... this is really just a venting thread but seriously this does need fixed

Every time you complete a leve they rotate by one leve. For battle/miner/botanist it happens when they ask you if you want to teleport to the levemate, for fisher/DoH it happens when you finish it. Occasionally they do a random scramble.

If you want to get to one that isn't offered, do one at a time, not all that are offered at a time.

sometimes theres a specific leve u have to do to make the next 1 appear.. kinda like a chain quest if had to use n example

A step that involves one of the least amount of RNG and people still complain about it...

Well considering that leve is in Mor Dhona and you were looking in Ul'dah.. git gud?

Considering everything in FFXIV somehow involves RNG, something that only has a little bit of RNG can probably be the last straw for some players, making them finally rage lol

actually , best results to get the leves you want, is pull ALL the leves in the category you need, and do JUST ONE of them, go back, turn it in, and the max should be available, repeat as often as need till you get the leve you want

it is VERY important you ONLY do one leve and turn it in as soon as it is complete, or you may get more that you dont need often.

this isnt 100% foolproof, but it did speed up getting the ones i needed

This is indeed correct, it's the way I get the leves I want.

In fairness, the way it works is really obtuse and unnecessary when it's one specific leve you have to clear, particularly when crafter leves don't suffer the same issue.

All battlecraft/fieldcraft/GC leves should always be listed, just like the tradecraft leves always are.

Leve rewards are not random.

There's a looooong list of rewards for leves, somewhere in the range of 20-30 of them.
Since alphabet has 26 letters, let's just use that as an example.


-ABCDEFG......XYZ
[123]


3 leves per lvl, orders are randomized, so when you start, your leve rewards are A, B or C.
You turn one leve in, now it goes

ABCDEFG...XYZ
-[123]

Still 3 leves to choose from, rewards are B, C, or D.

The rewards cycle as such and go back to the beginning and start over.

Now, as for what the rewards really are..
For example, Quarry mill WVR leves have a reward similar to this.


ABCDEFG...XYZ

ABCD = 14 wind shards
EFGH = 14 fire shards
IJKL = 12 diremite webs
MNOP = 42 wind shards
QRST = 42 fire shards
UV = 12 diremite webs
WVYZ = 14 wind shards.


The specific item and the number is probably waaay off..

Point is, rewards are usually, shard A, shard B, lot of shard A, lot of shard B, crafting mat. each usually taking up 3 or 4 consecutive slots.

They mean it's an Immortal Flames leve. The GC ones are always in a rotation that happens to work so the one you want isn't up.

For the OP, you have to abuse the system. Accept both, do one, then ask for a new one before finishing. That's how I max out my held leves all the time.
