50-60? How to? Full time job?

So I leveled my BLM 50-60 thinking it'd be easy to level an alt DOW/DOM.
Now in hindsight of the i170 Alexander req and the 20 minute DPS que, I've come to realize that was a terrible mistake since FATEs don't work as in 2.0

I know the Mods have potential changes, but until that happens, how do you guys recommend leveling my alt Paladin.
I just did two dungeons and my bar moved like 3%

huh? daily Duty R. gives about 11%~18% (duty roulette main scenario one) you can use the rest for LAW
the dungeon starting lvl 51 should give you 18% ~ 21%.. i am leveling my BLM alt.. it's not that bad

After the first job hit 60 the second get way more exp. Just doing DR high I'm 57 with the second

I hit 60 with SCH and I am literally like 10% off of 60 with my machinist leveling it extremely EXTREMELY casually.


Your EXP is increased from 50-60, and increased EVEN MORE THAN BEFORE from 1-50.

So save up resting exp, do duty roulettes... it is not a grind. My first one felt very grindy, but this one sure as heck doesn't.

I have 60 AST and SMN. I have a full time job.

It doesn't really matter.

You need from 5 to 8 dungeons to gain a lvl. So definitely more than 2 % for a dungeon.

You have tank queues. You could grind it all out in dungeons. I'm leveling Scholar right now, mostly through a combination of duty roulettes, daily hunt marks, and combat levequests. I haven't ground dungeons much at all.

It might feel slower with the second class cause you're not distracted with the story, but if you queue for the highest level dungeon you can do it doesn't really take a lot of runs.

There are literally dozens of threads on this topic telling you how to level alts.

I also have full time job and what I do are
- daily three level clan hunt bills
- daily roulette
- leftover sidequests
- weekly challenge log
- Large scale Temple leve
- join Boss FATE

People rarely do boss fates.

FATE trains in north thanalan, is still a thing. you can get 11k xp/min there, give or take.
as a tank you can grind dungeons from 51, and get similar XP/min or better. but it's a bit more risky, cause you can end up with shitty party, afkers, rage-quitters etc. you should get like 220k xp from a vigil run. The Vault should give like 340k xp (455k with rested bonus)
if you start a PF grind group, you can bypass the que times, or if you got 20min ques, you can do FATEs or mark-bills, while you wait.

I have lv 60 DRG/MCH, lv 58 DRK, lv 53 SMN/SCH, so far.

Already have Blm/Mnk at 60.working on brd atm,lv 54 now.

don't play a dps class..

kinda why I quit my nin, can't stand 15+ min ques.

Can anyone tell me how to unlock Pharos Sirius for dungeon roulette? I believe I did the quest from Aleport since it's in my Duty Finder. I just see 1 item of ????? which I know is Pharos Sirius.

Pharos Sirius : Level 50 players need to talk to Diamanda in Aleport, Western La Noscea (x26,y26), to start the quest Side Quest Sirius Business to unlock the dungeon.

Leveling alts isn't a big deal really, unless you want them to 60 right here and now. Daily roulette's and clan marks are a good way to break the monotony of dungeon running. Still, around 20% of xp for one dungeon run at your current level isn't bad at all.

Edit: Forget the Fates after level 51 for your own sanity's sake. I swear i'm never going back to North Thanalan.

Do some duty roulettes each day.

about to ding my 3rd 60...isn't actually too bad, do your roulettes, grind dungeons...buff from FC...buff from food...still grindy sure...just take your time

Firstly, why the rush?

I have a fulltime job, I have one job at level 60
I am doing a roulette on my 2nd job now and then, and I'm close to level 51

I also have an alt who is a lvl 54 machinist

It's not like theres much to do at lvl 60 yet anyway so I dont understand why you want it right now?

Daily hunts(3 books) = 300 000 exp per day
Vistas(sightseeing log) = 700 000 exp in 30 minutes if you have not done it (only one time)
otherwise just spam dungeons you need like 5-10 runs per level

FATE spam in Northern Thanalan to hit level 51 then spam dungeons...or spam FATEs til 60 like some crazy people do. Make sure to also do all 3 daily hunting books as well...at lower levels, doing all 3 gives you around 300k exp a day. I really hope they make FATEs in the HW areas worth doing soon. On top of that, let's hope the Challenge Log exp gets a better scale and that they decide to introduce hunting logs for 50-60. It would make things so much easier.

The first Job to 60 is not to bad since the quests pretty much give you enough to level. Only around 58 and 59 I had to dungeon grind a little.

For my second Job I mainly due all the roulettes for it after work, that usually gives about 50% of the experience and if you do your daily hunts it should give about another 25% (at level 56 right now). For the other time its best to dungeon grind since Fate Farming in Northern Thanalan is pretty annoying especially since there is so many Bots there.

But yea if you work full time don't expect to hit level 60 too quickly. I work full time as well and dont expect to get my second 60 until this weekend. Some people in my FC already have like 4 level 60, one dude has 8 level 60..... it must be nice to have summer vacation. Damn kids.

Not really, except for Trial roulette that is faster all the dungeon roulette gives less xp than an Heavensward dungeon.

after you have 1 job at 60, it will take between 55-60 dungeon runs to get from 50 with no XP to 60. the caveat being you have an FC with XP buff and you actually store rested XP every 5 runs or so and not try to grind out 30 hours of dungeons in 2 days. in that case you might need another 10 runs.

no level appropriate dungeon will ever give less than 10% of a level.

Yea Heavensward dungeons normally give more XP than a dungeon roulette, but most of the dungeon roulette takes like 15 to 20 min. While the Heavensward dungeon takes on average 30 min. So there might be better xp/min.

And also it might be a good idea to try and use the challenge log to your advantage. Sure its only like 80 to 100k or so per challenge, but they do add up.

One day at a time, is what I've been doing. I do all my roulettes except Expert, as well as my Hunts and side quests in between. I got my BRD to 60 with a combination of that and story quests, and now, I'm leveling SCH to 60 but will hold off on anything else after that. I have a suspicion they will buff experience in some way eventually.

Healer queues and DD queues when the game first came out are/were significantly faster though, I guess.

I have a full time job and also work 12 hour shifts and the key thing I try to remember is... it's not a race.

Don't really care how long it takes me to get to 60 on all jobs.. in fact I think if I ever finally do I would consider the game over and would have to look for something else to play.
