COMPLAINT: Can't progress level 79 story quest until level 80 role quest complete?

That actually would have been better. They should have divided the quest in two so when you get to him, you complete the current one and then you talk to him again to start the next msq if you had gotten level 80 and level 80 role quest. Unfortunately, I already did the roulette for the day so I'm stuck waiting for reset to actually get up to level 80. Tbh tho, I do not think this next leveling roulette is going to push me up this time, 8 mil is quite a substantial amount to go and I don't leveling gives you that much exp. And the other roulettes give even less.

If you only need 8 mil, just run Mt. Gulg one more time. No need to even do roulettes, as that dungeon should give you enough EXP to level up. Then you can complete your level 80 role quest, return to The Tempest, and turn in the level 79 quest. Make sure you speak with Totally-Not-Gerolt again, as he will furnish you with your level 80 artifact gear for whichever job you are playing completely for free.

Either way, you were going to get level locked after this quest, as the next four MSQ are level 80. Better to get the level lock out of the way sooner rather than after, in my opinion.

As i said, they don't give that much exp to be worth it, why waste my time? I'm better off just waiting for the next day anyway, so I just went to bed lol.

If I recall, a run of Mt. Gulg at level 79 nets over 10 million EXP. It’s been a while since I’ve done it on a 79 job as I haven’t been leveling, but it gives a fairly substantial amount—especially if you have FC buffs and food on. It’s certainly not “that much exp to be worth it”.
