[Dev #TBD] Fixing the Level Spread of Local Leves

[Jinko]

Heya VydarrTyr! I forwarded your questions to the dev. team and they were able to let us know that recipe adjustments are planned for patch 1.19. I hope that helps.

Is there any update for this, when can we expect the new leves for 35+ classes

This:-

Level 1 leves: 17
Level 5 leves: 11
Level 10 leves: 8
Level 15 leves: 14
Level 20 leves: 6
Level 25 leves: 8
Level 30 leves: 3
Level 35 leves: 2
Level 40 leves: 1
Level 45 leves: 5
Level 50 leves: 1

Should look like:-

Level 1 leves: 8
Level 5 leves: 8
Level 10 leves: 8
Level 15 leves: 8
Level 20 leves: 8
Level 25 leves: 8
Level 30 leves: 8
Level 35 leves: 8
Level 40 leves: 8
Level 45 leves: 8
Level 50 leves: 8

Agreed. The age of this thread is a glaring sign of how long-standing this issue is. This is a ghost of the problems of release that needs to be exorcised.

I craft, I craft on multiple classes and I don't see this as a problem. With the ability to stock up on leves what's so bad with how it is now? There's no need to change it and make it "easier". Do you really think it'll be easier, if they were to add in new high level craft leves odds are they'll take you all over the place to turn them in not just the locations set in place now.

With rested xp and II xp boost at 46, I grabbed 3 leves, did them in gridi, turned in the one for town, picked it up again and turned it in, then checked to see if I could get it again. It was no so I synthed up some rosewood lumber til my page ran out, since over the process of doing those 3-4 leves I've done quit a bit of synths, one leve has 4 synths, and the other 3 were 7 synths. So in total those leves provided be with 25 synths. Turning in a leve gave me about 3.5k, so I'll just say all 4 are around 14k. So 25 synths, I could get about 1k a synth because of the % boost, so 25k and 14k is 39k. So with just 4 leves I managed to go from 0 to nearly halfway tnl.

Now honestly ask yourself is the leveling process really that bad? It takes maybe a little over an hour to obtain the amount of xp I did and with the amazing price tag of 0 gil to spend on materials I'd say that's a pretty good amount of xp to gain from not having to invest any gil through the market wards.

Hey everyone! We forwarded your concerns about this topic to the dev. team. They let us know that they too have been discussing the small selection of 35+ leves and will be addressing this after the adjustments to recipes are carried out. These changes should help with ranking up your crafting classes quicker. I know I’ll be looking forward to it!

Woo! I had all but given up on this thread thinking I was the only one who cared. Thank you so much for the response. It makes me hopeful! +1 like

I still think I have yet to see a R40 Culinarian leve where I could usually pull in an entire journal in two cities not even 10 ranks ago. I've actually stopped leveling it completely because of that. Not to mention grindable synths are nearly non-existent near the 40s. I know there is supposed to be a leveling curve but damn, its rough for crafters

Some really good guildleve points made here

As much as I agree with local leves being more spread among all ranks...my personal preferance would be that there are no more than 4 leves of one rank range at the same time(meaning 4x R35, 4x R40, 4x R45 etc) That way everybody can get a full set of 8 leves per reset but won't get 700SP+ synths only through them.

Leveling crafts already became way too easy compared to before, providing 8 local leves from the Rank Range above you will even accelerate this process and make it more of a matter of course, while crafting should still imply YOURSELF gathering materials and crafting stuff not just grinding solely through leves. How the hell could you call yourself a crafter if all you do is get materials from the counter, grind through them, then wait 36h for the next to appear. Therefore I wouldn't provide too many leves for each rank range. 4 leves per 5 ranks is more than enough.

Rukkirii, your girlish charm is outweighed only by your generosity of spirit. If I had a banana, I would give it to you.

Thanks so much for your help.

Whilst I'm bringing this issue up, maybe you could ask the dev team that when they do revise local leves if they could make the hand in local, I.e in town or at the guild that would be much appreciated.

Right now Local leves are actually regional because they require you to go miles out of your way to hand them in.

Distribution is still horrible, mainly for alc too.
