There needs to be a better way to level DoM/DoW.

I suppose I should have made myself more clear.....

It isn't that there aren't options, it's that most of the options seem very lack-luster or incredibly boring. Stuff like FATEs and Levequests, you put a LOT of time, travel, and work into what seems like such a minuscule return, and same goes with the Hunt. When using the Hunt just for XP gains, the XP is worse than the Beastman Tribe daily quests.

Don't sleep on the hunt or beastman tribe quests. The exact numbers differ depending on the tier of the quest, but you can get in the ballpark of 2 million experience in the 60's from doing 6 beast tribe quests (350k-ish each), and another 1.5 million+ from just the Stormblood hunt marks (100k-ish each). That's more than a third of a level from 69 to 70, and I am pretty sure it's equivalent or better for lower levels. That's not bad at all for less than an hour of work, particularly one you can do while waiting for those specifically-queued dungeons.

I'll keep that in mind when I actually get 60.

Right now, though, I'm trying to get through the 50s, and the Beast Tribe quests there are only giving me 60k out of 1.2 million.

It seems like they realized that 60k was way too low and buffed it for SB content, but they should have went back and buffed the HW tribes' XP too.

I didn't realize you were still in Heavensward levels. But the outcome is roughly the same, and probably better actually. 6 beast tribe quests at 60k each is 360k, which is more than 1/4 of a level. The Stormblood numbers I quoted are actually lower, about 1/5 of a level. (But I'm going by the higher levels, I think the ratio is better at lower levels.) The same is true of the hunt marks, they should be giving about 30k+ each in Heavensward, which adds up to 450k. That's about 2/3 of a level total for doing both. That's roughly the same exp/hour as a specifically-queued dungeon.

hunter marks are a good chunk of EXP too people tend to let them slide
but they are handy for that little push you need for next level

It's not really that there are too few ways, its that the way never changes one bit. You do the same things 13 times till you get sick of them, because not all ways have the same exp parity. Ignore fates, ignore pvp, do hunts and beast tribes while waiting for roulettes, do every roulette you can, then spam dungeons.

Or you could just do what I did, and create a brand new character on a preferred world. That Road to 60 buff is no joke. I was earning two levels just from doing sidequests. Sometimes three levels from doing levequests. Got so bad that I was about five levels above where I was supposed to be in the MSQ. That was actually a detriment, because certain things I was supposed to have by level 20 I didn't have because they are rewarded through the MSQ at lower levels.

But I understand not everyone is going to create a different character and start from scratch.

I like to help and offer suggestions but i honestly got no clue. On the one hand gaining exp in this game is a joke. For example if you had all jobs to level 60 in HW, all you would have to do is do the experience point roulette once a day (even for the 2 new classes starting at 50) and trial (not very long for once a day) and have all them to 70 by now. On the other hand I get the concept it feels like it is boring and not much to do. Given I came from FFXI, the only thing I can suggest is make exp grind like it was in ffxi, but that is the complete reverse of what they designed this game in the first place. Given that i do not have much to give a suggestion, more so just something to think about

[MistakeNot]

I'd say there are actually lots of options for leveling combat classes/jobs. I guess the perception may depend on how many hours per day one plays, but it is a rare day when I have even run through all the roulettes available.
It will take time if you want to level all jobs all the way to level 70. This is a good thing.
Leveling your main class can be done pretty much on quests and mandatory dungeons only - leaving all the other options for leveling other classes.

The problem is...leveling TOO FAST is a thing.
People complain about that ALOT around me...first they get impatient..then immediately regret going so fast.
