    The bulk leve's were a bad attempt to make combat leve's worth something. We don't even have combat leve's 60-70-80 so they resigned to that failure. Bulk was eliminated after HW as well so they accepted that as well.



    Based on your Lodestone profile, I can understand how you are getting frustrated. Your gear is hobbled together and you would struggle to make anything at your level. What confuses me is, you have 70 Miner and Botanist so you should be able to gather HQ for your crafting level at leisure. You have set yourself up well, you just haven't seemed to cash in on it.

    You get screwed in the ass because the only thing you can make are COLLECTIBLES, which give negligibile XP. Not to mention, farming a shit ton of Mythrite Sand just to get anywhere. I can understand that being part of it, but it's something I don't like. I lost all my leves because I was dumb about the Largescale, and I'm stuck at 53 just doing Moogles and whatever Collectibles come my way.

    The biggest frustration I had with 50-55 collectable was, there was no static recipes. Once you hit 56 you could rely on Ramie cloth, Titanium Ingots etc. They looked like lower yield but they were always on the list unlike the other ones that moved around. My comment though was more directed at your gear. Use the time to try and craft some HQ tools and accessories. Also try and pinch out some HQ Baked onion soup. These levels are hard because you are CP starved through the entire phase.


    Inner Quiet, Steady Hand II, Waste Not,
    Hasty touch x 4,
    Careful Synthesis II, Masters Mend, Steady Hand II,
    Hasty touch x 2,

    Great strides, Byregot's Blessing,
    Careful Synthesis II to completion.


    If you have a lot of CP left over from this, you can start trading the Hasty touch in for Basic touch and Precise when you get good proc's. Based on how much CP you have.
    Baked Onion soup is in your reach and makes a big difference.



    You are in some of the roughest waters when it comes to leveling crafting and you are doing it with NQ gear and apparently no leve points. So it's not a bad idea to just step back.

    To your original, title point, those bulk turn in's are just bad math. Once you clear this level pocket it gets much easier.
