    My idea would make it so that running leveling roulette after getting your first time bonus would always equal out to the same amount of xp as running your highest available dungeon. In it's current state that is not the case. Doing lower level dungeons awards far less XP.

    The adjustment you are thinking of may be the Amory bonus, which exists no matter which dungeon you are in based off of which job you have at the highest level. But even with this it's much more efficient to run the highest level dungeon. This idea would make queuing for leveling roulette past the first time bonus equally as efficient

    They're not going to do it. Make the current roulette first of the day bonuses a standard bonus and players will tunnel-vision whichever one is seen as most efficient instead of joining the other roulettes.

    Actually it is, even if you don't realize it.

    The first of the day bonus for roulettes is designed so players get a certain percentage of a level between bonus and the standard XP for duty completion (the percentage amount varies depending on which roulette you're doing). Subsequent runs of the roulette on the same day only result in getting the standard XP for duty completion.

    You're effectively asking for the bonus to be awarded every time leveling roulette is run. If players determine that spamming leveling roulette is more efficient for getting XP than doing the other roulettes for their first time bonuses, they'll start ignoring those other roulettes.

    If dungeons are getting bland to you, it's because you're not intended to dungeon spam to level. You're intended to do other content as well.

    For all that FATEs have a bad rep. they're actually about par for the amount of XP you'd get in an hour compared to doing dungeons outside of roulette (assuming you're picking FATEs and dungeons intended for your job's current level).

    HW/SB/ShB hunt bills and beast tribe quests (ignore ARR, the XP rewards are bad) also scale XP to your job level as long as your job is within the level range of the associated expansion (ie doing HW hunts and beast tribes will see XP scaling cap at the amount for level 60 if you're doing them at 61). Those add up to a nice chunk of XP for a relatively small daily time investment.

    There's also PotD for leveling to 60, HoH for 61-70 and Bozja for 71-80.

    Don't forget you will also earn bonus XP and gil for challenge log completion doing a variety of content.

    If you want to stick to just one form of content for leveling, it's naturally going to feel bland after a while. Try mixing things up.

    I don't think the OP is referring to the initial daily bonus though. If you run leveling roulette AFTER the daily bonus, you'll get bonus XP on lower level stuff to compensate for the difference so it's not a complete waste of time. If I'm understanding the OP correctly, they're saying that the XP you get from running the closest dungeon to your level should be the XP you get if you get chucked into a lower level one as well. Make it the same value. The idea being the roulette would be viable for variety even after the daily bonus.

    And honestly, I think it's not a terrible idea.
