Desperately Need Another Way to Level Alts

[Ablongman]

Wholeheartedly agree, OP. Questing made the leveling work for the first job, but my second is BORING. Not slow, by any means -- FATE grinding is efficient, if nothing else. But efficiency without fun sort of defeats the purpose of a game. Most other games don't have this issue due to alts letting you repeat the quests... but since this game is about as alt-unfriendly as they come, and actively encourages sticking to one character... well, it should just do better.

Hmm, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one.

We were warned that the quests available would not be repeatable. We are also aware of the rate at which our leve allowances regenerate. For this reason, I've spread out the sidequests and main story quests between a few different classes. In between questing, I do my hunting log and any random fates that I come across. I've tried to avoid fate spamming for hours at a time so I don't burn out on it. I've saved leves for some of my more difficult to level crafting classes and I haven't even touched the Grand Company hunting log yet.

I'm trying to be smart about leveling given the fact that we were told how xp was going to be awarded.

Yeah, each class should have the full set of side quests, after all they still will not fully cover you for levelling, but sure would help a lot.

Lol... I'm actively playing 3 characters right now. A 'mage' character, a 'tank' character and a 'DPS' character. I just don't have the room one one character to keep everything I want to since I also level different crafting and gathering jobs on the characters as well. I have it split up pretty evenly so no one character gets too overloaded Also, it's nice having 6 retainers to help hold stuff

^^ This is how I've been doing it as well.

They could reset the Guildhests for each Class so that we get the "1st-time Bonuses" for each class.

Plus they should let us do the Guildhests with our Chocobo Companions so we only need 2 people to do them.

Also open up the lvl 15-30 dungeons to Chocobo Companions.

Actually the first few can be done with only 2 people I've successfully completed them with just a DPS (me) and a tank (and a *lot* of kiting) after 2 other members dropped before it even started.

I believe I remember them saying they are adding dailies. Is this still the case, does anyone know?

I believe they are adding them for 2.1 (or at least were planning on adding them for 2.1)
