Exp Woes..

[Catsby]

You are in a unique position in that smn and sch share exp ( I honestly wished all jobs did this). I would make sch up to date with gear and skills and do the final push as a healer. Some other tips to make the process quicker;

There's a FC action that gives you extra EXP from monsters. It's like 10-20% but I can't remember exactly
Food gives you a tiny boost
Daily raid roulette gives like 1/3rd of a level and Healer seems to be AiN more often than tank so it's a short wait.

Yep, Heat of Battle which gives extra exp as you stated. Depends which one the FC has active, but:

Heat of Battle 1: 5% (purchase with company points or crafted then charged in an aetherial wheel)
Heat of Battle 2: 10% (purchase with company points or crafted in a workshop then charged in an aetherial wheel)
Heat of Battle 3: 15% (only crafted in a workshop and then charged in an aetherial wheel)

Thanks. I used Heat of Battle 2. I think there's a bug with it or I don't understand EXP scaling for level difference. In my 50-60 stretch I would often get a +23%. It might have been exp chain related but I dunno. Is there a guide or something that helps break down the bonus?

Well 3% of that will be food, 10% the HoB2 buff. The other 10% I'm not sure about though as I can't think of anything else that gives exactly 10% (and still stacks with the company action).

I don't if it helps, but if you're doing content that syncs you down to the appropriate level, things like the "Brand-New Ring" and "Ala Mhigan Earrings" will work as before and give you extra exp per kill, even if your actual level would be above the limit if you weren't synced.
