Square-Enix you didn't think this through (alt leveling)

Wel your in the wrong zone the best place on behemoth is horizon you do the lower part of the map up to horizon till lvl 10 and then the middle to vesper bay for 10-15 thats where i just lvl'd my alt

here is a good fate guide i found a while ago

Now this might sound quite silly.. but I didn't think about using the chocobo to help with soloing fates (LMAO) but I still stand with my opinion.

Dungeon exp is useless and should be higher than fates, especially with the mvp system coming out.
Guildhests should reset per class, not character.
Fates should still scale in my honest opinion, even the bosses... make them hard but still possible.

If your just trying to get to level 15. Why not have a friend power level you up there? 1-10 is about 7 mins total if you find the right spot. Then you have aleport fates and 20 hunting logs to do to get the last 5.

Couldn't help but notice the OP posted in the wee hours of the morning. If that's the time you expect people to be populating the areas and doing FATEs, you'd be mistaken. Plus, soloing FATEs is quite feasible as long as you know how not to aggro a million enemies at once. Heck, it's more doable sometimes than it is when areas are overcrowded - when FATEs end in about 30 seconds. (North Thanalan anyone?)

OP does have a point though. We need more ways to level. Some of us don't like whoring out FATEs all day. Make them a "do them if you see them" kind of thing we can do while being preoccupied with something else...like more quests for example.

Nevermind alt leveling. When new classes are put in, are we just gonna be FATE whoring forever? Sorry, but that's so dull I don't even want to think about it. Something needs to be done.

Actually 1-10 is the easy part, the time consuming part is 10-15 before the first dungeon.

I've got all classes to 15 before on my alt and 1-10 is always easily taken care of via the hunting log and the FATE that spawns nearby. 10-15 is when you start to feel the grind at odd hours of the day when FATEs spawn slowly and there's little people.

But since it's so low level, just picking on a mob and grinding them is good supplement to experience. Personally I think 1-15 is not perfect, but not broken either.

After that I queue dungeons and gather/craft so I wouldn't know how FATE grinders feel afterwards.

If this game is a grind to lv. classes, pray you guys never play a Korean game, u might shoot yourselves.

i say people should not whine about lvling it is so freaking easy. it's not like grinding in FFXI for days just for one freaking lvl. But to me that was half the fun having to work hard to get some where.... now all mmos are geared towards these whiny a** causals

If you can't get your character from lv.1 to lv.50 in less than a day, than most ppl consider this the worst MMO in existence. The actual MMORPG's are dead and gone, the new wave of "everything needs to be handed to me NOW!!" MMORPG's are here unfortunately. Hopefully in the future ppl will relearn patience and the golden age of MMORPG's will come again.

this so much

I assume in the future there will be more story quests to play low and high level, more dungeons high and low. Right now I'm just focusing on my main and doing gathering. When I gear up my main I will level archer to 50. It may seem a bit slow now but in a year there will be new content to level up high and low level jobs so this will not be a problem.

2.1 seems to be more geared towards end game content and some other things but I expect further content to have new story quests starting at low level and working their way up.
