Leves and Behest SP are very, very low rewards...

[Harle]

I'm getting 400-800 SP rewards upon completing them. Killing mobs only give up about 120 SP on average.

This is extremely painful and demoralizing. Looks like I'm grinding away to the top like in the original Lineage.

i want to bump this thread because i somewhat agree it is low, however, dungeons based on another post seem to yield like 6.5k sp or something upon completion on top of mobs in the zone giving 200+ sp per so there's always that.

Other than that it feels like atm the game is favoring ff11 grind parties, and without xp chains!

*grumble grumble*

something must be wrong on your end. i just did my 8 leves, on 40 4 star as mrd 46. getting 5-6kish per leve just doing them at the speed of light avoiding anything that i dont need to kill to complete.about 40k sp solo in less than 1h.

yes, true but I think he's still upset because total sp by end of leves could have been like 80k rather than your 40k you got in less than an hour.

Counterargument to my point just realized though is that grind parties or dungeons can remedy the lack of 40k sp I mentioned...so yeah I'm done here lol.

zkieve got it right. =)

@Ventus: Sounds great to me somewhat. Too bad about the lack of XP chains, though.

@Zkieve: Just liked your reply, you're probably right but I'm done for the night. I'll be back on the saddle tomorrow night when I'm not fighting against the server.

It looks like they destroyed guildleves for low ranks and buffed them for high ranks. It's like the exact opposite of what it used to be before the patch, makes absolutely no sense.

leves aren't meant to be the main leveling source now.

I know I am probably one of the few who would like to see FFXIV take a more party oriented route then soloing. Although I have been here since Alpha I find FFXIV soloing (anything) extremely boring. I will be much happier with Grind Camps and set party roles, although I do not want a FFXI-2, I miss the days of FFxi pre-Astral Burning Abyssea Crap fest.

It feels about right for solos, but then the raid is still new and grind parties non existant.

Solos shouldn't be going at the speed of parties. Though we were kind of used to fast leveling of failing leves.

Actually thats kind of funny, because one of my biggest reason of not logging into ffxiv each day was because I hate using broken mechanics to win. After 6+ years in ffxi I quit simply due to Astral Burns, watching people hit 75 who had no right to be 75 made me sick to my stomach. (thats an opinion mind you)
