Just ran my high level roulette. The healer was an AST.
That didn't take long.

Armory bonus for level 1-49 is at +100% (used to be 50%).

Yeah, I've only played about 6 hours since the update and I'm already level 38 DRK. If you do the challenge log and levequests/FATEs while queuing for dungeons (or just do dungeons with a group), the XP is really fast.

Yesterday I got my DRK to level 50 and today I'll get it to level 60 or very close to it. The class is super interesting to play and way more complex than Paladin. I love it so far.

then i kinda pooped out. -

Let me just say I have made SO MUCH MONEY off the folks power leveling.
Four million gil since yesterday and counting.
I <3 you guys and your willingness to fork over 25K for high quality jewelry. -

I went to bed insanely early last night, and I was still a level 45 AST. On my sever alone there were three of them at level 50, and that was at 8 PM EST.

Too bad they're going to hit a brick wall at level 50, the exp is not so hot up here.
-

I know I want to get my Dark Knight to 50 so I can do the story with that class and get all the quest gear for it.
-
06-20-2015, 11:20 PMREPROBEAN_CHILDI had a feeling that's what been going on. I had both ACH go from 22 to 24 and LAN from 19 to 22 way faster than normal, even without rested EXP. I'm glad they did this; the faster alts can reach 50, the betterQuote:

I MUST CLEAR EVERYTHING NOW!" crowd. :pQuote:

Since we're on the topic of price gouging to the extreme;
Why would people do this? You can buy all the gear for a level 30 from various NPCs. If you have the full set from Brayflox, it literally takes a dungeon and a half to get to level 32.
I suppose I shouldn't think on it because it makes my brain hurt. -
06-20-2015, 11:31 PMEdellis
I reeealllyyyy wanted to level Machinist to 50 last night, but I didn't want to waste my Rested EXP on a level 30 class when i got 10 more levels ahead of me on my lv50s.
You get alot of mileage out of low-level jewelry. The levels between upgrades are mighty large.Quote:

At least a small legitimate part of the reason for buying off the marketboard instead is because NPC merchants don't sell High Quality gear. (From all I've seen so far) And HQ is notably better than Normal Quality gear. Of course, being HQ, it's of course going to be more pricy.
But with the prices they're currently at? Yeah, I'll admit, I try not to think about it too much either, lol. It's probably the hype train. -

The new armory bonus makes leveling very fast.
You get a whole level every dungeon nearly. -
06-20-2015, 11:58 PMlordoftheapes79
I leveled an alt to 50 doing only the main story, hunting logs, and roulettes with a few fates here and there. I never bought gear or took gear from msq. The only gear I had was from dungeon drops or I bought something stupid cheap on the market boards to spiritbond whether it was class appropriate or not. I made it to 50 pretty painlessly and with 3mil gil. This was months ago too.

I've actually been taking advantage of the price gougers - someone was trying to sell HQ, triple overmelded Heliodor rings for 150K. What? That's a 1000% markup over two days ago, even with triple overmelds. So I dropped it back down to 25K each for HQ/no melds and I keep dribbling them back on the MB. People buy mine because it looks like a veritable bargain compared to the wasteful overmelded ones.
That said someone caught wind of all the profit I was making off HQ steel sabatons and steel gauntlets, found the vendor, and put the NQs on sale on the MB with a 5000 gil markup. Because the market was flooded with cheap NQs, it drove down the price of the HQs (had been selling for 30K each) and it's not worth bothering any more. -

All I can say is, Those people are extremely lucky they aren't encountering bugs and/or 90K and 2002 errors. I have not been able to play more than a few hours since EA started and can't progress my MSQ for HW because of a No-Text bug.
