R35-49 groups for Grid R40 leves (Great SP)

[Leah]

I noticed this myself. Getting SP via a Leve Group is just great now.
Also that Gridania gaves me the best SP til now. Maybe because its the most easy Leves ? I never miss the time and difficulty Bonus since nearly every leve can be done in 4 mins (only the stage leves takes like 7 mins).
does anyone ever got more than 7988 SP a leve ? Til yet i not get over this SP cap. Maybe its the Cap Leves can give at our lv ?

7988 seems to be the cap. I have never gotten more than that, so you may be right that currently we can not get more at end bonus

I noticed this last week when I got access to my R40 levees for the first time. The problem is, like dungeons, trying to get pick up group for this can be time consuming unless you have a static. How long did it take yall to find those 6 people and then 2 hrs for levees on top of it. I saw the potential in this but get frustrated trying to make a group and then just end up soloing them.

I'm pretty sure all 3 cities leves give the same amount of base SP, the only real factors is how quickly you can raise it to 4+ stars and how quickly you can complete them.

Also is 7988 SP with Aspect? Its misleading saying that then too... since that would be 5300 SP or so before Aspect (btw there is a Faction leve in Coerthas that gives 6000 SP, or 9000 with aspect).

I think we should start to say why certain places are better than each other (under the assumption that all 3 cities leves give the same base SP, which I think they do).

Pros:
Limsa
- ~70% of leves cab be completed in 4 minutes
- Has Efts (efts are easier than Pieste/Toad... die faster)
- Objectives are medium range from the node.
- Leves are typically in no-agro mob locations

Grid
- ??? (I haven't done Grid yet)

Uldah
- ~50-70% of the leves can be completed in 4 minutes or less.
- Leve destinations are typically close to the nodes.
- No defend the node leves

Cons:
Limsa:
-Has 3 or 4 leves with Mongrels, which are typically higher level than other mob types and hard to kill (HP drain)
-Has 4 defense leves (you cannot typically get speed SP bonus on these leve types, tho they do have a lot of mobs to kill)

Grid
-Some leves are lots of Toads

Uldah
-Has Pieste+Toad combo, no Efts
-Lots of Mongrel leves
-Lots of agro mobs around leves (BW)

How do stars on leves affect things now? Just the mob SP?

Stars definitely effect the end of leve bonus sp. And its hard to tell about per mob sp. SP by mob family is so different, that when you're getting the reduced amounts during leve, its really hard to tell. During the leve mobs will be giving like 70-150.

And yes 7988 is with GA, Ive been using all examples with such from the beginning.

Higher level mobs.

@Zdenka

I think the speed bonus is a bit extended for the Defense leves, as I've actually received the most SP from those leve types.

Soloing at Gridania I got:
1 star 5300, no speed bonus
2 star 5800, no speed bonus
3 star 6300, no speed bonus
2 star 6300, with speed bonus

I believe this is what I got last night. I will bring more numbers after the next reset if I remember.
