Power leveling locations - Suggestions?

[OJtheLIONKing]

Once again, here comes this strange idea that games have to feel like a job. I work 60 hours a week but I like to play both FFXIV and literally anything else, but under your regimen that would make me a n00b. I guess I have to quit my job to actually get any further in this game.

Games are for fun. If you think people have to "work hard" to "earn" the right to have fun in a game, you really need to look at your reasons for playing. Getting everything maxed out so early with all the obstacles the game threw at you doesn't strike me as an achievement, but more an obsessive playstyle. That's your choice, but don't expect every player to share the same priorities.

it is probably just an estimate... I know you could do it within a few hours easy. Guess what, you would learn how to play your job solo and begin to strategize how to be in parties... OMGosh

It takes like 5 f**king minutes to learn how to play solo. It's not anywhere near difficult or thought intensive. Jesus man, I can't believe the s**t some people say sometimes.

done with this thread, nothing intellectual will ever come of it. glad at least i and someone else answered the OP on the first page

to OP: If you already have at least one level fifty job, how the hell can you not know which mobs are where? Go discover parts of the game outside mainstream xp camps. You can't even say that you're playing the game if you know nothin about it, you might as well play like.... idk... a game on a portable or somethin where you just push buttons til you win.

That's like saying:
"I want to go to a concert... But I don't feel like driving there...
I know... I'll call a cab... but yea... i don't feel like calling one or even walking outside to get in it...
So I'll just sit here and text my friends until one of them agrees to come to my house... put me on their back and carry me to the concert"
Come on.. its not even about power leveling anymore...
He is asking people to tell him where to power level... you have to see the ridiculousness in that
At least figure out what place is best for PL....
You might as well give your account info to one of those sites that charges for leveling your character...
A video game shouldn't be a job... but some things are worth working towards

Consider this:
If every game publication.. every review site... every gamer friend of yours, every blog... If every one said a certain game had endgame that was so epic...so insanely good that it deserved universal praise... The cutscenes looked better than real life... the voice acting was Oscar worthy... the end boss was super tough rewarding and amazing... the fight mechanics were so next gen... the strategy required would make the Pentagon cringe... It was like Navy seals, wrapped in Jedi, sprinkled with Sephiroth's ashes...

but..

It took 6 months of leveling 6-8 hours a day to even get to do this fight....

People might complain about the amount of time needed... but they'd do it.. damn it even the most casual players would be out grinding their hearts out...

tl;dr if its really worth something to you, you'll put in the work

LMAO I don't agree with the way the message is given but I agree with the concept and spirit of the message. Either way, I think we're derailing, even though the answer is already given.

To the OP... congrats on your soon to be 50's

I'm sorry you feel that way, but the truth remains.. this thread is lazy on top of lazy

I agree with Rydin ^^;

if it takes 5 minutes to learn a job then why do so many people out there not know how to play their class/jobs?

She said 5 minutes to learn how to play solo, not to learn a job. The two are different.

There are tutorial quests that show you how to do leve quests.
There are tutorials, information, and hand holding showing you how to go kill things.
There is even cheap gear offered right next to the first guy you talk to in game after the story sequence.

It's pretty easy to be honest ^.^;


And.. someone asking for PLing locations... wow.... that's.. just... wow...(Pun Intended?)
