EXP Parties as an option please!

I confirmed that there is still Leve Linking available. So you can form a party of 4, all pick the same leve, and link them together to do them together. Can probably tear through leves in under a minute that way.

it probably wouldn't be very popular if they were to add it in.

It would become very popular very fast if it was easy/efficient, and gave a bunch of exp or gil or drops.

Back in 1.0 there was leve sharing - is that still a thing? I can't remember.

You can still share Battle leves, you just both have to have the same one. But it does say "You are now sharing leve x." If you don't have the same leve, you can still get mob exp.

Side note... I'm not sure I understand how this request is any different from making a PF or getting friends to do "first room clears" of certain dungeons or do FATE parties. Do you mean just killing random mobs? You can still do that... if you like getting 10-30 exp per kill. yay.

And that's after 2 hours waiting for a party.

And then waiting another 2 hours for a brd with mage's ballad.

In the meantime, all the bards are running around with /anon on because they're terrified of getting asked to exp.

I never played XI so I'm confused how FATE parties aren't essentially the same thing.

I don't know if this would necessarily be a good idea though..

Even right now, it's hard enough to find FATE parties in most zones other than Coerthas and Costa Del Sol because most players use dungeon as their main means of leveling. If SE introduced more ways to level up with similar efficiency, it'll split up the leveling population even more and you'll have trouble getting parties for either methods.

From what I understand, leveling up in FFXI was a LOT slower than FFXIV and since FFXI practically required you to find other people to do almost anything in the game, people would form parties purely for EXP per hour gains. Since FFXIV makes leveling up almost trivial, asking for a party just to EXP farm isn't even needed unless you want to lessen the boredom.

FATEs are more dynamic. FFXI grind parties are just killing the same enemies over and over, as fast as possible.

The way old school FFXI exp parties worked was. You got 6 person party had to be balanced party you went to some camp and killed the same monsters over and over. For example you would go to kufta tunnel and kill Robber Crabs, wait for respawns kill the Crabs again.

It was ALWAYS crabs.
