The Amaro mount...

[DracotheDragon]

Wait, all roles or all classes? If it's all roles then I have little problem with it... but if it's all classes then yeah that's bad.

all duty of war and magic classes to 80

or to say it the long way, you need to level Paladin, Warrior, Dark Knight, Gunbraker, White Mage, Scholar, Astrologian, Monk, Dragoon, Ninja, Samurai, Bard, Machinist, Dancer, Black Mage, AND red mage to level 80, you do NOT have to level blue mage or the Hand or the Land.

With that requirement, and the 1-2 years of grinding needed to accomplish it. the mount should do FAR more than just run and fly.
It might be worth it if the Amaro could:
1. Fly at up to 100 times as fast as any other mount (with continuously-variable speed.)
2. Fly in ALL zones, including new ones, without the need to quest and collect things.
3. Carry passengers, including a permanent extra retainer, (free).
4. Provide free teleports to any Aetherite.

1-2 years gridning? lol It would not take that long to level the classes to 80.

From 70 to 80, sure, that's only 17 jobs, and two of those share exp so that's 160 levels to gain, at about 1 level a day on average it'll take you... six months of dedicate play.

If you weren't already capped, or your other jobs are much lower than 70, good luck.

I have 8 jobs at or around 70, a couple around 50, and the rest at 0.
I've just worked it out, and I have 554 levels to gain before I get the mount. Even if we discount everything under say level 30, I've still got 395 levels to gain. That's over a year.

For someone just starting the game, and starting the count at 30 for all jobs... 800 levels to gain. That's two and a half years, that's into 6.0

You highly overestimate leveling speed tbh. I leveled GNB from 60 to 70 in one day, and then few days for leveling until 80 with MSQ and I wasn't really fast. Right now, if you have one class at 80, all other jobs will have 100% exp bonus for 1-70 levels and 50% from 70 to 80. Plus rest bonus, pluc FC/Squadron bonus, plus additional items like earrings if your level is under 70. In fact, you will need about maybe week to level one job if your online is not very high. I'm quite sure we will see first Amaros less than in a month.

By 1 day, do you mean an entire day? Like, 18 hours or so?
Because a day of play for me is about 3 hours, and I can barely fit all my roulettes into that time, and I usually don't because I like to do things besides just roulettes.

It took me 7 days to get through the MSQ to 80, and that's with more than typical playtime.
I'm leveling my secondary jobs now, two to be specific, and I'm at 76 and 73 respectively after another 6 days.
So accounting for downtime, days where I don't play FFXIV at all, which will be many once I'm over the Shadowbringers hype, and accounting for days where I don't level at all, because I'm playing end-game content, 1 level per day is very realistic.

18 hours sounds about right with armory bonus from 60-70. To level the fastest, you do need to restrict what you do to just X/Y/Z. But to say you require an entire year to level all classes to 80, even with only 3 hours of play is absurd. 1 level should be around half that time without armory bonus if you spam the latest dungeon for two levels, not counting queue times. In theory, you could make it even faster if you only did Gyr Abania til 75, but that is horrifically boring aside from seeing how quick you can speedrun the dungeon thanks to the Aetheryte Earring.

As i said on the previous page. All jobs from 70 to 80 is 160 levels.
So at 1 level per day on average, that's six months.

For someone just starting the game, and starting the count at 30 for all jobs, 50 for two and 60 for another two... 740 levels to gain. That's two years, that's into 6.0

You can definitely get more than 1 level per day in three hours though is what I'm saying, but again, you do have to level in an efficient manner in order to accomplish that. If you did do it efficiently with three hours, assuming you get a level and a half. Still, some things should take work to get, and I believe this amount of work is fair since anyone can do it without camping at their cpu like with the hunt mount.

Good question tbh, because I didn't really count, but I think it was faster than 18 hours. I just spammed 21-30 HoH floor in fact. First job is normally the longest anyway because you still need get all dungeons and finish story.

From personal experience, when I started to level my jobs from to 60 to 70 in Stormblood, my online was about 3 hours as well or less, and with doing all roulettes and then spamming latest dungeon I was able to get from 1 to 3 levels per day. In the end it's mostly depends on what exactly you do when you are online. If you do your roulettes on max level class (for tomestones) and farm raids, leveling would be considerably low for many reasons, but when you are focused solely on leveling - the process goes quite fast. 1-2 years is really overestimating, if only you do not sit in raid all 3 hours all week.
