The exp bonus per mob in dungeons has been doubled. That's enough incentive for me to level up my alt's through them.

I can't explain it, but trying to level through dungeons just feels slower. In the 20-30 range, after my roulette it was just queuing back up into roulette and getting stuck with Ifrit. The problem there is that he offers about 2k xp if someone hasn't done it before, other than that you get jackall xp for killing him. That happened 3 times in a row with a 10 minute wait in between (as a dps). I got sick of it and went to do levees and fates in Quarrymill. After about 30 minutes, I manged to get a full party together and we hammered out XP a lot faster than what I feel dungeons were pulling for me. Got 3 levels in about 1-2 hours. Now, unfortunately, even with another fate group Hive and King were just about impossible. Hive is a bit easier if you are infiltrating, but defending? Forget it, no chance.

No the scaling thing. It scales with the last fate group to kill it. If this group had say, 30 people and you go back with 10, you can hardly make a dent in the fate mobs. Most people just get blown up before doing any damage. It's just frustrating and disheartening. I don't mind dungeons, but when I get bored of them I'd like to hop into fates. Yes you can fate alone and wait in queue for an hour, but you miss out on the chain xp you can pull in fate parties and the efficiency. It's slowly turning into RIFT where people just simply ignored Rifts aside from the few who used them for XP. Fates are mind numbing yes, but was the purpose of 2.1 to render them useless? At this point, that's what it seems like. I am only hoping that after another week or 2 people come back from CT and whatnot and continue leveling alts.

So basically our route of leveling has been extremely limited due to the increasing fate difficulty?

Hopefully people get bored of 2.1 fast and go back to fate grinding.

OH EM GEE.....


Change!!


Fate grinding was boring...glad there's options now. Welcome to the world of change. Adapt or die. I don't know what else to say I have no sympathy for people who get bored because they can't grind to max level anymore.

I've tried dungeon, quests, random fates, but these are unreliable in leveling. Dungeon takes too long in queue such as sometimes an hour as DPS, quests will eventually burn out, and fate parties are hard to come by. Has anyone found a better way to level now?

Make friends. Play the mmo. Dungeon. Do a fate every so often. Your hunting log. Enjoy the game. Seriously if you can't make 1-2 friends... you can duo pretty much every fate to 50 at best till you reach raid fates.

Seriously op, your post depresses the fuck out of me. -_-

"Hope people get bored of the game, so they can go back to leveling up alts to be 50 where they are bored of the game."

You honestly just wished the community to suffer just so you can speed up the process in which you can suffer with them.

Battle leves actually aren't that bad. :3 rank 30 leves gave me 11k-12k (depending on bounty) per allowance. Rank 35 leves gave me 14-16k, which isn't that bad, as well.

With that said, I'm starting to see people come back to farm FATEs, at least in Masamune

so im level 32 whm


so just do one duty roulette for the bonus, and just run dunegons to level now? i too have noticed fates are no longer the go to



i think maybe cuase of new content but who knows...it would suck to wait for duty when i level my dps though
