    Taking on anything with a higher level

    I'm finding it strange as I do this, but I'm managing to take on anything that is up to 2 levels higher, also doing a Lv25 levequest whilst on Lv24.
    Also, I managed to complete CNJ hunting log rank 2 at lv19.

    This is fairly standard depending on your class. Completing rank 2 Hunting marks by lvl 19 is pretty normal. Generally rank one is for 1 - 10, two is 11 - 20, etc. The lvling process is pretty easy in this game, which is good considering you have so many classes to lvl. Overall, anything on the world map is toned down compared to things in dungeons. FATEs are about the only exception, which fluctuate based on how many people it took to beat the FATE last time.

    I take it you're used to a style more like FFXI where anything over your own level was a chore to kill? It's nice in this game to not have to rely on a party to level grind.

    Despite me doing this, I managed to level up about 9 times as CNJ (I think) in little over a week, without going into a dungeon, but relying on hunting/challenge log entries, as well as levequest and Fate grinding also. I may have a go with other skills the same way, starting with THM.

    The EXP required for levels in XIV is very small. People took Rogue from 1 to 50 on its release day with some work.

    This is to offset the fact you can eventually level every damn class.

    I hate it when games are designed so that anything one or two levels above you is impossible to kill. It's much better when your level leads you toward "recommended" quests, rather than force you to grind and scrape for inches of progress at a time.

    The dmg/defense penalties are at 6 levels difference.

    Just wait until you level Arcanist. With a light heal move and a pet + chocobo, those hunting logs are ridiculously easy. I finished rank 3 hunting log (level 21-30) at level 23-24ish.

    Truth, but not entirely accurate. I was able to do the hunting log that ends at level 40 9/10 with BLM at 32 without choco.

    Ive found it even easier on BLM/WHM. Maybe I'm not good at using Carby to full effectiveness but being able to SS/Sleep/Full heal makes it pretty easy to do this.
