Dungeons XP ajusted in 2.1

**Rosekitten** · 11-23-2013 10:29 AM

My husband will be happy with this update as he loves to dungeon grind. I didn't mind FATEs but it'll be a nice change. Though DD's might still want to grind on FATEs if they still get their xx timer on finding a party. ^^; Though if the exp is increased who knows it might take down the timers a bit.. though i doubt it.

If dungeon XP is even remotely close you'd see FATE xp go down because FATE xp is dependent on having a certain threshold of people, since the effort it takes to get gold on FATE is roughly constant but the amount of time to complete a FATE as well as its frequency depends on the number of people in the zone. I don't buy the whole 'doing dungeons makes people better' because I see plenty of guys who have no idea how to play in the dungeons, though it's good to have a change of pace. Even if the reward isn't better, I'd prefer to actually do something more than just spamming Scathe/Flash/whatever over and over.

Now I have a reaso to try and get my PLD and BLM to 50. I was bored to tears the three days it took me to get my SMN/SCH from 40 to 50

The problem is that lvling through fates doesnt let you learn your class you just button mashing. the fats xp is nice but everything else about fates suck

Tanks and healers will really benefit from this, I love tanking dungeons, so doing them is no big deal, Fates will still be usful for those who do not want to wait in the queue line.

Sounds good! Some Fate's can be really fun when it is just like 2-4 people trying to beat them.

One can only hope.... If I did not get all my battle classes to 50 in 1.0 I would NOT ever levelup another job in ARR. I haaaaaaaaaate fates.

Does anyone know how much the exp will be increased by? I mean they would have to at the very least triple the exp to make it worth while.

They haven't said yet, nah. We can only assume that if dungeon grinding will be better for XP than FATE grinding that it will be a pretty... significant increase. Hopefully, at least!

I'm happy to hear that dungeon exp is getting a buff, since I really prefer dungeon leveling to mindlessly grinding FATEs.

That being said, you guys are delusional if you think this will kill off FATE parties. They are not nerfing FATE exp, so it'll still be fast, and there are a ton of people who will keep doing it because it's easier.

Even having the +50% bonus from rested exp makes dungeon grinding a lot faster. Double exp would be pretty good, triple exp would be completely nuts (and quite welcome) but I don't think they'll go that far.

Dungeon running is decently quick leveling when you're at the same level of the dungeon because of the chain bonus. The problem is that it really slows down when you level up once, because you lose out on a ton of chain exp then. Maybe they're not going to touch the exp gains and instead will just allow exp chaining in dungeons regardless of what level you are? That'd be pretty nice.
