Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

Depends on the dungeon and their current level. If you get Satasha as a lv50+, you will want to finish the dingeon ASAP, as the bonus exp comes from the last boss. If you get Doma's castle as a level 67, then the difference is neglible.

Hate getting Sastasha, mostly because it's boring as all hell(I sometimes get my tanks killed because I'm DPSing in it) but also because the EXP sucks per kill. That, and trying to gear up for the later dungeons isn't easy when you get nothing but low leveled stuff(still wearing Augmented Shire - full set - on my 65 WHM)

Try running Bardam's Mettle. If you run the dungeon CLOSEST to your level you're guaranteed a piece of gear appropriate for your class.
Source: 4.0 Patch Notes CTRL+F = "level 51 to 59 dungeon" or a "level 61 to 69 dungeon"

When completing a level 51 to 59 dungeon or a level 61 to 69 dungeon, players will always receive one piece of gear equippable by their current class or job. *Players will not receive gear that is already in their inventory.

Oh, I'm aware of doing that. It's more for the roulette which gives 1m+ daily. Some days I only have time to run a few roulettes, and I try to do the leveling one daily for whichever class I am leveling.

True. In this game, one tends to out level the gear anyway

Quite rapidly...went from level 28 Botanist Saturday night(when I decided to start leveling it again) to 43 when I went to bed. Got to 53 yesterday just doing leves waiting for queues to pop.

I remember a long time ago I was running Aurum Vale - I'd done it before and knew what to do, but one of my teammates that I had been paired with was either being a troll or had no idea what to do on the one boss where you ate fruit every few stacks (my friends always recommended at 2 or 3 stacks).
Everybody else seemed to have at least a decent idea of what to do, and until then the run had been going absolutely fine. This dick ran around the boss arena eating all the fruit as soon as they spawned, and I think by the time I managed to get one my stack was at like, four or five. To my recollection we only barely made it through, no thanks to that guy.

7 stacks of magic resist down.

I raise you: 11


Mnk in question was lovely and friendly mind you, and the run itself was very pleasant, but... bloodburst just utterly deleted them. ;-; I cannot heal that.

(I was the healer, but I've edited my rdm friend's screenshot for the purpose since I was too busy, um, healing to take one lmao)

I had a Monk in full level 50 af go mental and fake DC Cutters Cry in levelling roulette because the tank was skipping mobs in the oasis sandpit areas after the first boss.

I mean, you're obviously at least level 50 these 7 mobs are literally not worth your time in a roulette.

Before his fake out he stood outside the second boss calling us all names while we three manned it... oddest reason to rage I've seen in a while.

The funniest part is, he could always go back and fight them AFTER the dungeon ends. It's how I've gotten people their grand company hunting logs completed for the dungeon after accidentally skipping over the relevant mobs in the dungeon.

Whether he'd survive is another thing entirely.

I got menagerie in the menagerie roulette today, and was healing. Long story short, a bunch of people stood in the stupid and died. The LB bar was full so, of course i do that and bring everyone back, but what i didn't see was the little message flash across the screen "Shinryu gathers wind aspected aether". SOOOOOOOOOO
