    So what seems to be the best way to rank up now? For a lowbie like me, that is (THM/CON R20). Just do a little bit of everything, leves, quests, partying?

    Played the game for about a month then took a break. Came back and not sure where to begin. Thought reading the forums might help but I think I'm more confused now. XD

    Would a duo work? Or is the only viable option a full group?

    I think you can do behest for good SP if you dont do it at the same camp over and over... but I don't know.

    I haven't really paid much attention to SP since patch.

    I did do a Dunes run with 7 x links for 5k SP (hahaha) just to see what leves are like now.

    Dunes with 7 links should be closer to 50k sp than 5k sp, so something obviously went wrong there. I guess they are trying to deter as as much as possible from using leves to level.

    But if we dont use them to level, we will never use them. I have no problem with that, I just dont want to have to grind faction points.

    I always thought 'nerfing' something meant 'making it easier or weaker,' in which case the leveling progression was not nerfed, in that it was not made easier. Maybe I read it wrong?

    Using your own logic, SP gain would be "weaker" thus making it a nerf.

    Actually, those XI numbers aren't even current. Right now EP's give 80~120+ EXP now depending on the difference. They really cranked up EXP (don't even get me started on Abyssea - you wanna talk about easy mode how's going from 60~90 in 1 day?)

    Not saying XIV should be as easy as XI is now, but it's definitely a bit much.

    Can do 1-90 in 1 day with a static or a little luck. Just need to reach the lvl 30 entrance requirement of entering Abyssea - All party xp with a PL 14+~ will earn you at least 20k/hr with the right setup. FFXI has been on cruise control for well over a year now. My analogy was aimed at finding a happy medium though, not asking for moar easy mode.

    I've been gone since Abyssea really took hold. I just pulled up something from the original boost. Thanks for the clerification.

    So let me get this straight. Leves are no longer a viable source of leveling even as a means of solo content, according to reports. That leads us next to questing for SP, which is good! However, questing for experience will only help you cap even ONE disciple, and then you are left without any repeatable quests (Not leves) to level up others.

    Finally, there is the most reliable leveling source currently, grinding parties. As I understand it, FFXI veterans are more than accustomed to this. However, how do you plan to get people playing your game if the only viable leveling option is to grind monsters for hours a day until you can go into 2 dungeons?
