I know what you mean about not feeling rushed in this game, however I can't pinpoint why I feel this way. Maybe because of how easy it is to level, maybe because I'm in a great FC that encourages stopping to smell the roses. Or maybe because I'm older now, and do what I want, not what others want me to do. Whatever the case may be, I'm extremely happy with this game!


And yes, you get a mount at 20. I recommend leveling your PLD with your MIN/ARM. Doing levequests helps immensely in leveling up DoH and DoL classes, but you need an appropriate level DoW/M to unlock the leves at each location. Its every 5 levels, so 20, 25, 30 etc.

20&25 leves: Quarrymill
30: Costa Del Sol
35: That place with the really long name with big words in the south of Coerthas.
40: Whitebrim (Western Coerthas)
45: The town east of Revenant's Toll (Mor Dhona)

You have to do 1 quest at each of these places to unlock the abilities to do levequests there, and that 1 quest requires a battle class.

Levelling crafts or gathering jobs without leves is doable, but it's quite the grind.
