Well to be fair it should take time, it has a large reward. I would argue that it's easier to go from 1 to 90 now than it was to go from 1 to 50 in ARR, significantly so.

Well they are leveling tools they should help to get to level cap, the question is how much is too much.

Without a doubt the gear made it easier but it used to take far more leves to level up. I didn't use food or upgrade my gear once and on the 80 durability stuff I ended with plenty of wiggle room in the form of durability and CP.

I agree, with simple scrip gear it would still be really easy.

For Land I agree. I haven't done any gathering leves yet but the exp while out in the field seems ok.

In general you have many ways to just power level crafter/gatherer such Grand Companies and Collectables or even the Firmament.

Leves are simple one of them and fast enough since you can craft near a MB/bell and just dump there
Yeah but, 3-4 items per level, with easy synths to boot...?

It's not that bad to be fair, you can quick synth to the mid 20's and then firmament all the way to 80. Gil can be an issue but in terms of time it's maybe 10-12 hours per crafter. Much faster than a combat job or gatherer. You will get bogged down on job quests if anything as manipulation is too good to pass up on.

Good exp for sure, I just think they have over done it this time.
