Personally I like to travel around to all 3 cities and do my leves. All of them have their benefit except for some reason doing culinarian in any city except Limsa. It seems to me that almost all the recipies used for local leves require guild facilities. I am not going to grab culinarian leves in Uldah or Gridania just to have to teleport back to Limsa in order to get guild facilities in order to do the leve. If they would just reduce the requirement to common facilities it would make things a lot easier. There is no point in a leve requiring guild facilities if the guild is not located there. To me it seems like the local leves for this class has been designed to annoy the players. Culinarian is already a difficult craft and this does not make things easier.
