low xp at higher lvls

its insane why do I only get 260 xp for killing a lvl 38 mob when I need 260.000 xp to get a lvl I seem to be always half a lvl off my next story line quest, ive done all my quests but I find I have to farm half a lvl, then it happened to me again.. I always seem to be half a lvl from my next storyline quest

started happening to me around lvl 33 I was 5 lvls ahead but now im half a lvl behind constantly...

anyone else having this problem ?

As i see it at 30+ in order to get XP more efficient u need to do alot of FATE's do the Hunting logs and also if possible some Dungeon runs. Quests in this game so far are not in par with the XP needed to get to the proper levels, if u ask High lvl chars they will all tell u all of the above.

Yeah thats unfortunate if u are the "quest guy" , insted u need to be the "griding guy" right now. I hope it gets fixed that or improved.

btw imagine what happens when u try to lvl up a sub class and u dont have any quest to do........

I did do this and I had no quests on my sub class I think personally when you make another class on the same char all the quests should come back and reset for that class only so you can lvl it to max its silly the idea of having all classes and jobs on 1 char being available but no quests to do so it defeats the object of that even being in there lol

Agree they need to offer a lot more quests, I would suggest SE go back to each zone and make an additional 20-30 quests for each one.

All I can say is I am glad I levelled all my battle classes in 1.0, cause having to level a second class with no quests seems ridiculous, and farming fates is tedious as hell.

What are you guys talking about? Seriously? There are SO many side quests. Just follow the main story and it constantly opens up new hubs for you. I've leveled up to 45 without any FATE grinding just by following main story, doing all the side quests, class quests, and doing each dungeon/guildhest once. I'm still overleveled for all the quests, because they are giving too much exp. I really don't know why people think there are no quests. You realize you need to progress main story for quest hubs to unlock right?

I have done the main story and sidequests and I am running out of quests, I have been forced to do leves and guildhest half way through every level since 35.

And yes I realise I need to progress the story, except I can't cause I am now under levelled and all quests are in red.

There are more quest hubs not tied to main story. Did you miss those maybe? I don't know what to tell you otherwise, because I'm 45.5 now and my questlog has never been emptied. Granted, I had a lot of rested EXP from P4->EA , but that's it.

Where would these hubs be exactly? Cause I'm getting annoyed by being a level behind

Probably all of the teleport hubs have multiple quests, and newer quests open up after certain levels or main quest conditions.

Lol, I started my sub class and I'm already 2-3 levels behind in content in a new region. There are really not enough quests and I am seeing a lot of people saying it just gets worse as you level. They need to get rid of guildleve allowance limits and buff XP rates for FATE's if they don't add a bunch of new side quests.

I only got the problem at lvl 33 and up as I said I was 5 lvls ahead of myself at lvl 27 I got my chocobo and that's a lvl 20 quest but hit 33 and bahm !!!! half a lvl behind on my next set of quests cant do crap and I hate having to farm stuff.... I love to quest not grind ...

edit : also id like to add the fact that I made another character yesterday and I was lvl 13 killing lvl 11 mobs and they gave me 100 xp per kill, so why should mobs at lvl 38 be only giving 250 xp per kill ????? 3 times the lvl but only double the xp it should be atleast 700-1000 xp per kill, this would atleast solve the xp problem itself

I agree they need more quests, especially for sub classes.

I want to level up another job and the only thing stopping me is that we have no repeatable quests.

How are you supposed to level a sub class realistically with zero quests left? Leves would work but we have such a tiny allowance it's pointless to attempt leveling again.

We get too little exp from grinding. Tbh i hate running around for fates, i refuse to do it...

don't forget leves only give you half the xp a normal quest would as well so it doesn't matter if your getting double xp you wont lvl faster still .... the right solution is when you change class all quests are reset for that class so you can do them all again

Going to echo what everybody else has been saying. I'm level 38.5 and again i'm behind at least a half level from the main story quest. This has been happening for awhile now. It wasn't happening until somewhere after the low 30's though. Its like they just stopped adding enough side quests to keep you moving or they just aren't giving enough exp. It doesn't help that the Recommended function is fucking terrible.

Made it to 47 so far with very little fate grinding. Have had no problem staying 1~2 levels above my main story.

You people need to learn how to play, I guess. Everyone I've talked to has had no problem leveling when they find out they should be doing dungeons and FATEs on the side. It's not hard to walk a hundred paces out of your way to tag a few mobs in a fate. Plus, it gives you company seals to advance your character via that way. Win/win situation.

Are you picking up the optional dungeon quests? Running through dungeons a few times? Possibly queuing for Ifrit/Titan/Garuda to help others out and get double EXP? Maybe just to listen to the awesome music, if nothing else?

Anyone who's complaining about their first class not leveling fast enough needs to do other events besides quest hubs. I can see the second/third class being a problem, but leves alleviate that, along with more fates.

Okay so post 30:
- side quests
- main storyline
- hunting quests
- fates
- queuing for dungeons

but what about just party exp'ing like the good old days of FF11? Is there any of that? I notice there is no search for exp party function. Currently at 31 and looking to push to 50 but I see a long road ahead in terms of exp. Luckily the quest material is actually pretty engaging a lot of the times so I dont mind

I shouldn't need to do dungeons, in an mmo u should be able to only quest and meet max lvl, and yes im doing dungeons on the side, as well im forced to do the same dungeon 2-3 times to get my lvl, and it says to me YOU are also having the same problem but not just moaning about it just spamming dungeons, id like to also add YOU are a tank so me as a dps will take 40 mins for a dungeon were as you only 10 mins so there is a huge difference between us, you are clearly having the same problem as us but are doing dungeons non stop, so you see no problems, and there for what you say is crap...

id also like to add I do all my quests every single one of them and I currently need 356.800 xp for my next lvl ive run out of quests at 127.608 xp, so I need 229.192 xp to go .... that's a lot of quests missing, and will probably take me 3 dungeons to get to my next lvl (which is 43) ive spoken to loads of people on my world as well and they say the same thing as me ..

I really don't understand what you are talking about... I'm 45 and I'm not doing any sidequest, just the main quest, some FATES, new guildhest when available(35k the first time for a 10 minute content ) and dungeons... Keep in mind that you do easily 1/3 - 1/2 ( if in rest ) of your level in 1 hour if you run a dungeon once...it's mean that in max 3 hour you can do 1 level and maybe get some good gear...

The problem isn't really with your main class, since there are plenty of quests/sidequests to get you to 47ish (where there appears to be a bug that doesn't unlock a bunch of quests until you're 49). The problem is when you want to go back and level another class/job, you're left with just levequest*, FATES, dungeons, and grinding. Grinding is damn near useless, dungeons are ok but tedious eventually, and chasing FATES is a pain. Really wish there were repeatable quests at each hub--like "clearing" a hub of it's quests once would unlock repeatables for other classes/jobs.

*You could do levequests, but the rate you get them is way to slow to make it viable. Plus, you're much better off using the levequests at level 50 to get gil, since you're going to be dumping a metric ton of gil on just repairs.

Yeah, the problem isn't the main quest, it's the subclasses. I did thaumaturge, then did Archer in Gridania, so all new quests...but tons were missing. There were a bunch in Gridania that got me to level 5, then after that in the Black Shroud there were very few hubs especially after I got to level 10. Only managed to get to 16 through FATES and finishing my hunting log a few levels ahead. I can imagine leveling another Ul'Dah or Gridania sub class will be even worse since I won't have ANY quests at all. There really needs to be some other way to get XP for your sub classes. Either more quests, or open up more hubs, or something

levequests only give me 6k xp per quest done were as a normal quest gives me 12k even a fate gives around 11k xp, so they are pointless tbh I love doing dungeons but 45 mins que because im a dps sucks hard..... and there isn't any quests im lvl 42 and as I stated above that no one clearly read I had out of quests and half over half a lvl to do ive already done the lvl 41 dungeon 4 times in the last 2 lvls to get my next lvl... Ive played a hell of a lot of mmorpg's and ive never had this problem ever running out of quests to get my next lvl I shouldn't even have to be forced to do fates, levequests or dungeons if I didn't want to, but this game forces you to do it all, I don't mind the quests that say go in this dungeon for a quest I really don't but I shouldn't run out of quests and be forced to go dungeons to make up the xp quests should be giving me !!!

Are you ... kidding me? If you want to play alone in a MMO just buy Off line Rpg dude. I mean serious -.-; Good luck tryin to gain all your other Job to 50 budy if you cant figure how to Max ExP.
Wow im tottally shocked by your quote.
Your tired of waiting 40 minutes because your DPS for duty finder.
simple idea for you. Make some friends and start your own party. Or /shout in Ul'dah thats how we used to do things.
Fate is also good. start a party of 8 and get bonus exp from mobs you kill.

and are u kidding me ?? because u clearly didn't read what I put at all, let me say it again for u, I said u shouldn't have to do dungeons to meet max lvl quests should not stop coming half way threw a lvl I have run out of quests and I shouldn't be forced into a dungeon to make up over half a lvl so I can carry on with my main storyline.... plz read before posting next time u look like a fool

Because your not supposed to kill 1000 mobs for your level, you can but that would be tedious. Your main source of EXP is from closing quests, finishing fates with a gold rating, and leves. The amount of EXP Gained for said items scales as you level, It still takes about the same number of quests per level.

How long does it take to level up to level 24 from level 21 in gladiator? Cuz the recommended level for The Company you Keep (Immortal Flames) is level 24
