Leveling after 35 became slower

Well, if it's your second class, keep in mind you're not doing nearly as many dungouns, quests, etc. in order to level anymore. Now you're relying solely on FATE grinding, which is by far the most mind-numbing, god-aweful method of leveling known to man, only ever surpassed by the new-age parties in Gusgen in FFXI. > /Personal opinion rant.

Regardless, I think you'll find that it's still pretty fast - but it's probably going to test your patience a bit. If you enjoy dungoun grinding, you could wait for 2.1 and do the increased dungoun exp... but let's just hope that it's worthwhile enough to justify the wait.

Right, on your first class/job you can almost level up on the main quest line and required dungeons alone. Filling the gaps typically only requires a few optional quests thrown in and the very occasional opportunistic Fate, just as you are passing by.

The only change was the DD fate giving godly amount of EXP.... The rate did not change, nor did the xp per level. OP is just paranoid.

In 1.x I had to walk up hill both ways in the snow to level my jobs. Young punks.

Leveling sucks at this point in time. Hopefully 2.1 will help but.....

Recently been levelling PLD to 50, one thing it isn't, is slow tbh.

This is simply the leveling curve, if you're brittle-expectations were to breeze your way to 50 then prepare to shatter.

The curve increases as your level increases, this is staple in pretty much any MMO, if you were expecting to get 35-50 as fast as you got 1-10, then you're in for a bad time.

For example in 1.0 with the skill point system;



As your level increases the more EXP is required to get to the next level, it's rather common, it's something that made FFXI last for many years, where to get 1-75 would have taken your average player a year, FFXIV is lightning fast compared to this.

This is most definitely the result of leveling through quests on your first lvl 50. And just as it's always the case with WoW clones once you run out of quests to level up all you have left is things like the god awful fate grinding and the even worse leve system.

That is why I'm going to take a very long time to finish the lvl 50 jobs after CNJ/WHM and focus mostly on DoH and DoL classes for now, otherwise I'd just quit out of sheer boredom trying to power level jobs to 50.

I think they nerfed the frequency of FATEs, not the exp they give nor the amount required. They are simply happening less often.
