Soo, how do people lvl?

[MrLion]

I'm on Lindblum and people aren't shouting all the time. Even when they do shout, it takes about an hour to get an actual party together.

I'm on Lindblum I see shouts all the time on Ul'dah...

Very true, also the OP is in what I like to call "the dead zone" Ranks 25-33.

Being at those ranks makes the game feel slow and downright impossible at times.

Those ranks aren't too bad tbh
From 25-30 you can easily level on the eyes in Nanawa or do the rank 25 dungeon for good SP
And from around 30~ you can grind grass raptors (Even if you can get a party of 29-34+ they're great SP!)
Also leves are still great SP at those ranks.

Leves run out very quickly, grinding solo is slow if you don't have at least a great setup, nobody seems to want to grind as a party, and behests can only be done once an hour and no one really does them anyways.

So am I missing a secret?

I'm not complaining in the sense that I hate whats going on, I am really just looking to figure out the most proficient way to level.

Any suggestions?

BTW, Behests shouldn;t have a 1hr timer, they were better before.

My Opinion? Take initiative and make a party. Shout in Ul'dah. Add the friends for the party each time ESP Conj/Thaum, and then next time they are online, they will usually team up. I've grinded to 50 a couple of times. It gets easier when you have a large flist and a decent linkshell.

Put yourself out there and make some friends

You are right, there are options available. Many more since 1.18 hit. It's just that compared to the 1-20 steamroll and the rank 40 quest sp rainfall, those ranks feel out of place.

The dungeon is an odd one, great sp that somehow no one wants to do.

I shout for parties, or do other things and wait for people to shout for parties. Without party flag, you're kinda screwed though. There'd be a LOT more parties if you could put up a flag.

Leves. I just get on and do them and then log off til next reset these days.

There's no rush to level up, really. Not like there's anything to do.

I have also cleared the beastmen encampments starting at lower 40s-45ish (solo), depending on what class you're playing. Archer can start earlier cuz they kill so fast.

I'm on Lindblum too, I never seem to see them.

Shouts can be rare, and rarer still is that they are in your desired level range. Until you're maybe 44+ for raptor parties in Coerthas, I am not exagerrating when I say partying was easier in XI. It makes this game painfully inaccessible and I really believe it's a major factor in why barely anyone sticks around.

[Viridiana]

I see shouts all the time in Uldah. . . for parties r37+. I haven't seen shouts for Toto-Rak in ages, which is a shame, because Toto-Rak is pretty much what the OP is looking for.

[Zantetsuken]

Grind Parties.. Ul'dah always has ppl yelling for them.

Leve's are ok if you are solo, but you'll never get exp/sp even close to a solid grind PT.

Plus it helps build the community.
