Random Level Crafting Leve's sucks.. bad

Evey day leve after leve I find that the "random" leve level is killing me. What good is it to get 6 leve's to pick from if they are all the wrong level?!

If im level 17 , I get two level 1's two level 2's and one 10. I need a freeken 15!! Hell I need 2 15's or three. i no longer ever need a lvl 1 or 5.

It is stupid and broken, I have to run around to all 3 cities to find 2 leve's that I can do. It is stupid and broken!

Help a player out give me some leve's that I can use. What can I do? Accept them and delete them? accept them and waist time doing crappy leve's that do not give me any xp?

grrrrr.

Been a problem since day 1.

This really is frustrating. They put a bandaid on this problem by splitting up the level ranges so you can possibly choose from multiple types of the same leve, but it's not enough. Why can't we choose to spend our leve allowances on the specific local leves that we want?

Agree this needs to be fixed, it would be nice if we could have some kind of level scaling similar to battleleves (ie 5 stars) each one would change the type of item you were asked to make.

Plus allow us to pick up 8 leves at a time, this goes for DoL as well.

Im not a massive crafter or gatherer but I do think its about time the new dev team started putting more effect into that side of the game.

Leves in general need a complete overhaul IMO.

This really needs a fix. Crafting leves could do well to take a page out of regional leves. Create UNIQUE content for each leve, and let people pick the level they want to play at. I should be able to pick a level 10 leve, add a +6 level mod to it, and synth away.

I think all leves should be available, at all ranges, if its the same leve in a few categories, can only carry it once. Simple.

And please add a few more DoL leves. I hate carrying 2 leves, to spend anima and come back for more....

DoH holds 8, Battlecraft can choose 4 per camp, and Field can choose 2 per camp.

Balance please.....

yea the lack of leves for certain crafts is also annoying. Stuck at lvl 34 so i cant get level 40 leves and most of the leves i get for leather are lvl 20 and 25 so i get like 80 exp per synth on the crafts and a finish of 600-1000. at that rate it would take me half my allowance to level once.

I am Gold 44, my leve journal is empty. All the Ul'dah guildleves are lv25 or below, and have been for the past two days.

Fix it. Now.

I'm having this issue with Alchemy.
I'm 200 synths from my luminary, but get this, I'm only Level 46 lol
There is only one level 50 leve and that is in Camp Blue Fog.
Please more level 50 leves.
Please?

Yea sucks.

Alchemy i know is horrible at the end. You get to R40 and you have like 2 leves to choose till 50.

One to Bluefog, other to Broken Water @.@;;

I've been barking up this tree for about a year.

For the past two weeks my 35+ (now 38) has been offered only 20 and 25 leves.

I don't understand why we still don't have static access to leves like the othe disciplines.

Well sure, but that applies to any local leve, so what's your point? I was just saying that it's a ton easier than going back and forth to Broken Water and/or Bluefog.

I was just commenting with the OP's topic in mind. There is a 45 in-town leve, but it may randomly just not show up for a few weeks. Which is exactly why they should allow static access.

Ah, yeah I completely agree that that is annoying. I just wanted to let that Shyd guy (or anyone else who happens upon this) know that there's a better option for alchemy if he wasn't already done with it.

I believe that WAS his point. It applies to any local leve, and it shouldn't. You should have an ability to get local leves appropriate to your level when you want them.

Agreed, I am at 33 right now and all I seem to be getting is 20-25 with the odd 30.I think they need to include a rank 10 and rank 30 1-20-40 is far to wide

Yes, it annoys me to the point that I usually don't even bother with crafting leves, despite the good XP and free mats. Why do I need my choice of a dozen 25 and below leves when I'm lvl 40? The leves should be available at whatever level I'm at, just like all the OTHER types of leves.

Agreed, this has always been an issue. Sure you can reset the available leves but you shouldn't have to. It should be just as easy for a crafter to pick up a few leves as it is for any DoM/W classes.

When I was level 18 I could get a single level 20 levequest for Armorer. When I was level 20 they took it away and replaced it with 4 level 25 Levequests so the brunt end of it, you fail, botch, abandon your way through 50 levels.

Here is one I really got a chuckle out of. I went and checked the Levequests for Weaver but did it as a Conjurer. Noted 3 levequests level 25, jumped out and switched to Weaver, went back to find only 1 Levequest level 25. I don't know what they have in the code for crafting levequests but it leaves alot to be desired.

every leve in the game should scale to what ever your level is when you get it.

this has been a real big problem since day one. The leve system in this game is a great idea and it can become awesome but right now it really suck's. I don't know why they haven't fixed this by now, They seem to fix loads of other things and some of which most people didnt care about.

2 Leves for 1 gather run really bad unless u set ur HP at an inn and the camp ur running to you're going to run out of anima really fast, or be wasting a lot of time to wait on recast home point or even having a lot of deaths on you're Character that inst needed there.

When i'm 36 ARM i wanna to be able to go up to the counter and pick from maybe 4 leves that are level 40 even 2 would be nice none of this random crap.

Be also glad to be able to hold around 4 or so gather leve's, 2 being the limit isnt all that great. I saw a post where some was talking about player made leves which sounds like a great idea why dont bring that in and let people choose from player made leve's to help with there leveling, Yea the game is meant to be hard, But dont forget the game is also meant to be fun.

English = Shit (Drunk :D)

Yea agreed about the lack of correctly aligned leves/level situation.

As someone suggested above they just need to add a selection for each level bracket.

1-10
11-20
21-30
31-40
41-50

Also show all leves available for that level, if more than 8 are available then randomise them or add a second page to the leve selection.

Hopefully they have completely revamped the leve UI in 2.0 and the way the leves are offered.

I can explain how this happened, though I can't explain why they chose to make it work this way. Available leves automatically reshuffle every time your leve count refreshes (when you get +4 leve credits), but for some stupid reason, they only shuffle after you check the counter. Your experience actually had nothing to do with you switching jobs.

This means you can do the following:
1) View leves available at counter (any type).
2) Wait until after the next leve refresh without completing any leves.
3) View leves available at counter (same type as step 1) - these leves will be identical to the ones viewed in step 1
4) Back out of all the menus
5) View leves available at counter (same type as step 1) - these leves will be shuffled and no longer match what you just saw in step 3 (or 1) unless you're really unlucky.
6) If you keep checking the counter now without completing a leve or waiting for the next leve cycle, the leves will always match what you saw in step 5.

Yeah, leves are messed up.

I often take advantage of this behavior for leves (of any type). After being logged out for a while, I'll check the counter, pick up leves, then turn around and re-check the counter to see if there are any new leves that shuffled in.

It actually makes the most sense with the level dynamics. With 25 level levequests coming up at 20, 35 at 30 etc so many are abandoned they can't use turn in as the trigger so the next best solution was to make it leve counts. Besides if I had to make priority, this would be lower on the list than other things.

The level 20 Armorer one was in in Limsa and you had to go to bongo so and so to get the materials and do turn in. I could get the quest, go to him, do the quest, turn in and go back to the leve desk. It took less time to do all that than it did for the girl at the desk to render back on to the screen. Latency in this game is by far their biggest detriment, I dare say it always has been.

Yeah I agree with all the posts here. Lvl range or star meter for difficulty would be much better. Dol could remain 2 per camp if they would add grade 6. Sometimes ill rage hasty hand a bunch of lower leves in hopes of getting them to shuffle to my lvl range. I have all crafts to 40 or above and sometimes there are no leves in 2 out of the 3 cities. Wonder if the devs are in just wait for 2.0 mode.

Crafting and Gathering leve's need to be looked at and changed.

Crafting leve's : Random level's of leve's with 1 or 2 you can viabley do for EXP then to have to go to the camp to turn in for a tiny amount of exp is just stupid especially if the first leve is turn in at camp Horizon and the other camp broken water.

Gathering Leve's : 2 leve's maximum so having to go to the area run two leve's and then having to run all the way back to town to get the same two leve's over and over and over is not fun and just plain annoying.

This is fixed easily by making both have there leve limit the same a Discipline's of war and magic having them all at the same camps by the level they are and giving more leves to Crafting/Gathering classes and sort them by level.

Correct, I explained what happened to Ksenia four posts after that.
