    Perhaps, but for DoL and DoH the experience of running back and forth is pretty time consuming and monotonous and thats even for the experienced player.

    A great point. I've been setting my return at the camp I'm grinding at, essentially halving my travel tim and I still spend more time traveling than I do gathering.

    As for DoHs, I've taken to abandoning them after all materials are used up unless the NPC is in town. Just not worth the time it takes to travel to the camps for what amounts to one more synth's worth of exp.

    It's not a great point because using anima to travel between a favored location camp and returning to town is minimal travel time. Again, truly casual players have more than enough anima to do 6 DoL leves in roughly the span of an hour using only 6 anima. Use the tools the devs have provided us.

    So those of us who are ranking up DoL's using the leves but are not casual players who have "more than enough anima" to go back and forth like this have to suffer? Just because I might have more time on my hands to run back and forth getting my two new leves doesn't mean I want to. It is as annoying to us "hardcore" players as it is to the casuals. If they gave DoL the same amount of leves for an area that they do for DoW/M then it wouldn't be so bad!

    It is the point !! because I wasn't taking about casual players.

    I'm not wasting my anime on crafting and gathering leves when i need if for things like SB runs and XP parties.

    Leves aren't meant for players that spend their lives in game. You can grind on nodes.
    You know how F'ing boring that is and slow, XP from leves is about double (sometimes more) the XP from gathering from nodes, you act like there is one thing to do with your time in game, I don't sign on and think im guna grind gathering for 4 hours straight.

    I think I'll do my 8 gathering leves and then find an XP party.
