Power leveling locations - Suggestions?

Any good power leveling locations for a group of 20-24 classes?

I love to get my pug and archer to 40+.....

Some of you might not want to give up your sweet spots.. but any suggestions are appreciated in advance.

What lvl are the mobs?

Nophica's wells, Humblehearth, and Cedarwood all have several camps each of enemies in the low-mid thirties. Check out mooglebox's camp location tool.

.... Chicken-wuss.

really though?
I guess I have to be the douche...

Not only do you not want to go through the effort of leveling your character... but now finding the location to be a lazy bum has become too much work?

I really wish they would remove power leveling... I'm tired of seeing people with crowns and don't know what they are doing :/ tank "Where is my cure whm?" whm "I didn't set that on my bar sorry" that was an exaggeration but you get what I'm saying :/

I think PLing is perfectly fine. Most people can't really get a feel for their job without experience in endgame anyways. However, I'm glad they made it so that it's more tedious to PL. All I ever really do is help friend PL annoying classes for their jobs, like GLA and CNJ. That 1-20 grind is awful anyways.

No, you just chose to be - there's a difference.

From 10-18: Crabs NE of Bloodshore are nice. And for pretty much 27-38 I have always preferred hogs by Treespeak. But that's just me. A lot of times if I'm going to farm K-fleece I will /sh to see if anyone wants to leach.

Doesn't mean soloing or trying to find groups before 30+ is any fun.

Please though, since you made that claim, prove to me that you can do 1-15 in an hour.

it is probably just an estimate... I know you could do it within a few hours easy. Guess what, you would learn how to play your job solo and begin to strategize how to be in parties... OMGosh

Who cares if he can or can't. This is just another version of the crotchety old man.

Youngster: "I had to walk home and it started raining."

Old Man: "I had to walk home uphill both ways in the snow - of course, this is before the war! During the war they took all the pavement to make tanks and the dirt to make bullets! Why, we had to make snowshoes to walk on the molten lava that was left over and even then we had to plant the tree and grow it oursleves! Spoiledass brat..."

Yes, Rydin, we get it - you we're a launch player and it reeeeeeeeally sucked to deal with all the garbage that we did for the last year. But that doesn't mean everyone else should have to suffer through it, too. Their perspective is different, and, from what I know, these forums are for a) feedback b) social interaction for the players and c) helping one another. Yes, it is a bit lazy not to use google. No, it isn't wrong to use the forums to ask for help. If anything, the OP just put the thread in the wrong place.

Sorry... I've had all my battle classes 50 since before 1.18 and darkhold...
People kill me saying I PL cause its some class I don't want to play... I just want this ability from it

Well if the ability is that important to you... get it by XPing your way to it...

If the Job is that important to you.... get the class to 15 by killing shit... believe it or not... that is the point of the game
My first 50 took over 2 months of some serious grinding....
we NEVER got more than 10k an hour in those days... but the first time I put on my Vintage Hauby... or Toothed Falchion... (You can guess what class I was) I felt special....
I agree, back then leveling was too slow...
But they've sped up leveling so you don't need to PL....
I can see if leveling speeds were as slow now as they were then....
but now with chains, links and rested bonus... I just don't see this being difficult

I'm sorry you feel that way, but the truth remains.. this thread is lazy on top of lazy

Once again, here comes this strange idea that games have to feel like a job. I work 60 hours a week but I like to play both FFXIV and literally anything else, but under your regimen that would make me a n00b. I guess I have to quit my job to actually get any further in this game.

Games are for fun. If you think people have to "work hard" to "earn" the right to have fun in a game, you really need to look at your reasons for playing. Getting everything maxed out so early with all the obstacles the game threw at you doesn't strike me as an achievement, but more an obsessive playstyle. That's your choice, but don't expect every player to share the same priorities.

It takes like 5 f**king minutes to learn how to play solo. It's not anywhere near difficult or thought intensive. Jesus man, I can't believe the s**t some people say sometimes.

"If you don't like boring grinding, you are lazy!"

done with this thread, nothing intellectual will ever come of it. glad at least i and someone else answered the OP on the first page

to OP: If you already have at least one level fifty job, how the hell can you not know which mobs are where? Go discover parts of the game outside mainstream xp camps. You can't even say that you're playing the game if you know nothin about it, you might as well play like.... idk... a game on a portable or somethin where you just push buttons til you win.

That's like saying:
"I want to go to a concert... But I don't feel like driving there...
I know... I'll call a cab... but yea... i don't feel like calling one or even walking outside to get in it...
So I'll just sit here and text my friends until one of them agrees to come to my house... put me on their back and carry me to the concert"
Come on.. its not even about power leveling anymore...
He is asking people to tell him where to power level... you have to see the ridiculousness in that
At least figure out what place is best for PL....
You might as well give your account info to one of those sites that charges for leveling your character...
A video game shouldn't be a job... but some things are worth working towards

It was like Navy seals, wrapped in Jedi, sprinkled with Sephiroth's ashes...

but..

It took 6 months of leveling 6-8 hours a day to even get to do this fight....

People might complain about the amount of time needed... but they'd do it.. damn it even the most casual players would be out grinding their hearts out...

tl;dr if its really worth something to you, you'll put in the work

LMAO I don't agree with the way the message is given but I agree with the concept and spirit of the message. Either way, I think we're derailing, even though the answer is already given.

if it takes 5 minutes to learn a job then why do so many people out there not know how to play their class/jobs?

She said 5 minutes to learn how to play solo, not to learn a job. The two are different.

There are tutorial quests that show you how to do leve quests.
There are tutorials, information, and hand holding showing you how to go kill things.
There is even cheap gear offered right next to the first guy you talk to in game after the story sequence.

It's pretty easy to be honest ^.^;


And.. someone asking for PLing locations... wow.... that's.. just... wow...(Pun Intended?)

I already have 5 lvl 50s.... I havn't leveled a class in 4 months. I wanted to get monk to 50 since I hear how great they are on certain encounters in AV. Don't assume too much. I also have a career where I work 10-12 hours a day. My job is my job. I only have 2-3 hours a night to play.

Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions......

I remember the days that it took work and dedication to get to max level.

I remember that overwhelming feeling sense of success when you finally could switch to merits!

That feeling will not be present in this game

Person with multiple 50's has no idea how to find a 20's exp camp....bler.

Anyways Depending on the class look for mobs in their early late 20's early 30's if your smart you will play with whatever elemental weaknesses you can exploit if possible. Don't fight mobs with time intensive fights "Crabs jellyfish" unless you can doll out massive damage before they hide in their shell or root you in place.

But seriously it will be more rewarding to find your own special camps than it is to have people regurgitate whatever they just read from Mooglebox.

There are just as many people who don't know how to play who level "legitimately" so your argument is kind of flimsy. Also I've always taken the stance that I have no issue with how you got your levels as long as you know how to play your main class/job(s), with people I play with at least. Some classes are leveled just to get some cross-class abilities, I don't expect everyone to know how to play every single class/job effectively if they have no intention of using all of them.

I have CNJ/WHM leveled to 50, all JSE and quests completed. That doesn't mean I ever plan on actually using it. I have it for the completion and in the event that I ever actually do need it for anything. I also don't claim I'm great, or even good, at healing. If I planned on actually using it I would go out and learn how to effectively use the class/job.

Because people are stupid and/or bad at the game. Takes a little more than 5 minutes though.

If your PL'er is good enough Skellies in Copperbell mines (there is 1 room packed with them) are just amazing.

I could say the same thing about people that swear it takes months to learn a class/job some people can pick up a job and learn it quickly. I'm a believer that anyone with any shred of skill can learn any job from 40-50 if they cant then they are just bad players and no amount of time on said class/job will make them good.

Oh... you just want to use MNK on some endgame content... that makes you different than everyone else who plays the game... Knowing that I don't have a problem with it
Oh and you work... my bad... I didn't know any of this... you're right... you are exempt from having to do any actual work in this game...
Also... you qualify for the Darklight exemption... Just put in a GM call before you go in the dungeon... They can get you set up with a full darklight set
You know, you really should have mentioned from the beginning that you work and you only want to use MNK in the end game dungeons... that makes a world of difference

there are trees near turning leaf in grid. You wont need a PL cause they give like 2k xp and only take 1 hit to kill.

to the people saying "Lvling the hard way teaches you how to play your class"

Bah, I say, Bah!

I've never pl'd. the two 50's I have I did the hard way, slowly grinding solo and in parties because I like to take things slow (though I still hate naked grind). When I got ARC to 50 and then when jobs came out I was jazzed, I wanted to go try out ARC and BRD on the primals... Well what do you know, I was totally useless the first couple of tries out of the gate, Had no idea which skills were best for the content, and on the first run, where to even stand as an ARC, I knew how to play the class/job in an EXP party but I had to completely relearn things specifically for the primals.

Playing a class to lvl, and playing a class for content are two very different things and very situational... and also if all you want is GLD to 22 for sentinal for your THM for Ifrit....PL AWAY! I couldn't possibly care less (as an example)
