Why only FATES?

[Luvbunny]

What most people fail to understand is - this game is very very encouraging so that you get out there and play with others - strangers even - and do everything on its power to reward party play. At the same time the developer also created a game that is quite solo friendly for those anti social weirdos that do not want to play with others or deemed everyone else sucks but me - i't all about me - i forgot everything about you.... For those, they are still forced to do a few dungeon to advance main story.

There are at least several ways to get XP - FAST in this game - if you want to do a bit more exploration and socializing.

- FATE is one of the most popular one, you can make fate party, all other member contribution helps you to achieve max points. You can take along people who are a few level below you - they still gain good amount of xp - and there is safety by numbers. Go make 8 people party - grab those strangers.

- Normal mob grind, the same 8 people can murder mobs that are 2-4 levels above them and chain very fast, you all get same xp, similar to how you exploit abyssea, so make those party and murder the entire mob in one area while spamming FATE.

- You can also do the levee quest with the same group, max the level of the mob - chain those xp, and get rewards (i think only the one that initiate the levee got the reward) but you can rotate your party member levee and spam them.

- And finally your usual dungeon grinding for xp. Best to do it at your max level - say dungeon is for lvl 24, you get max xp if you go at lvl 24-26

Take advantage those combination and spam them to lvl up very fast and meet random people. Be nice and respect other players

thing about FATEs and dungeon grinding and such is that... No one stops to chat during a FATE and it doesnt last long enough to just casually grind monsters.
You cant even play with people from other servers when meeting others over dungeon queue.

and literally you never hear about that open world monster grinding either. Literally no zone with elite mobs you can do that either.
