Requesting Information on Jobs: Preparing for 1.21

It's way easier to level in FFXI then it is in FFXIV. Guess you haven't played FFXI in the Abyssea era. You can go from level 1-99 in about 8 hours on any job. 1-30 if leeching people doing GoV in gusgen or boyada which doesn't take as long at all. 30 to 99 you can leech an FC in abyssea and be capped in no time. Only like 1 or 2 people even need to be killing the mobs and the other 16 can just sit there and leech exp. You can afk for almost all of your leveling too.

Leveling in FFXIV is a pain by comparison.

I did fully stop playing XI a while ago so this could very well be the case.

However, I did play for quite a while in the "abyssea era" and I can tell you that it was few and far between the people that were able to leech levels as quickly as is technically possible in XI. It requires everyone else to be ok with you sitting there doing nothing. For most, that simply wasn't going to happen.

People pretty much shout all day in jeuno advertising FC party for like 50-100k an hour which is almost nothing now. You can even get it free if you do keys, sometimes people will be like hold KIs for me and you get free exp, a couple weeks ago I got a KI held it for the guy my blm went form like 40 to 99 in about 5 hours.
