Power leveling locations - Suggestions?

[Zell]

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

I already have 5 lvl 50s.... I havn't leveled a class in 4 months. I wanted to get monk to 50 since I hear how great they are on certain encounters in AV. Don't assume too much. I also have a career where I work 10-12 hours a day. My job is my job. I only have 2-3 hours a night to play.

Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions......

I remember the days that it took work and dedication to get to max level.

I remember that overwhelming feeling sense of success when you finally could switch to merits!

That feeling will not be present in this game

Person with multiple 50's has no idea how to find a 20's exp camp....bler.

Anyways Depending on the class look for mobs in their early late 20's early 30's if your smart you will play with whatever elemental weaknesses you can exploit if possible. Don't fight mobs with time intensive fights "Crabs jellyfish" unless you can doll out massive damage before they hide in their shell or root you in place.

But seriously it will be more rewarding to find your own special camps than it is to have people regurgitate whatever they just read from Mooglebox.

I really wish they would remove power leveling... I'm tired of seeing people with crowns and don't know what they are doing :/ tank "Where is my cure whm?" whm "I didn't set that on my bar sorry" that was an exaggeration but you get what I'm saying :/

There are just as many people who don't know how to play who level "legitimately" so your argument is kind of flimsy. Also I've always taken the stance that I have no issue with how you got your levels as long as you know how to play your main class/job(s), with people I play with at least. Some classes are leveled just to get some cross-class abilities, I don't expect everyone to know how to play every single class/job effectively if they have no intention of using all of them.

I have CNJ/WHM leveled to 50, all JSE and quests completed. That doesn't mean I ever plan on actually using it. I have it for the completion and in the event that I ever actually do need it for anything. I also don't claim I'm great, or even good, at healing. If I planned on actually using it I would go out and learn how to effectively use the class/job.

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?

Because people are stupid and/or bad at the game. Takes a little more than 5 minutes though.

If your PL'er is good enough Skellies in Copperbell mines (there is 1 room packed with them) are just amazing.

I could say the same thing about people that swear it takes months to learn a class/job some people can pick up a job and learn it quickly. I'm a believer that anyone with any shred of skill can learn any job from 40-50 if they cant then they are just bad players and no amount of time on said class/job will make them good.

Oh... you just want to use MNK on some endgame content... that makes you different than everyone else who plays the game... Knowing that I don't have a problem with it
Oh and you work... my bad... I didn't know any of this... you're right... you are exempt from having to do any actual work in this game...
Also... you qualify for the Darklight exemption... Just put in a GM call before you go in the dungeon... They can get you set up with a full darklight set
You know, you really should have mentioned from the beginning that you work and you only want to use MNK in the end game dungeons... that makes a world of difference

there are trees near turning leaf in grid. You wont need a PL cause they give like 2k xp and only take 1 hit to kill.

to the people saying "Lvling the hard way teaches you how to play your class"

Bah, I say, Bah!

I've never pl'd. the two 50's I have I did the hard way, slowly grinding solo and in parties because I like to take things slow (though I still hate naked grind). When I got ARC to 50 and then when jobs came out I was jazzed, I wanted to go try out ARC and BRD on the primals... Well what do you know, I was totally useless the first couple of tries out of the gate, Had no idea which skills were best for the content, and on the first run, where to even stand as an ARC, I knew how to play the class/job in an EXP party but I had to completely relearn things specifically for the primals.

Playing a class to lvl, and playing a class for content are two very different things and very situational... and also if all you want is GLD to 22 for sentinal for your THM for Ifrit....PL AWAY! I couldn't possibly care less (as an example)
