My first party

[odette]

Skill point rewards have been increased for Disciple of War and Magic-specific regional and faction levequests, as well as behests. The increase will vary depending on the quests’ recommended class rank, with those recommended for class 20 seeing the biggest change.
Shield skill points are now awarded upon the completion of regional leves, faction leves, and behests.

Actually thats quite false. I played ffxi for seven years, and had seven, seventy fives all legit. (Legit: No astral burns) I solo'd BLM 1-75 BST 1-75 BLU (mostly)1-70 and SMN. Granted it took me longer, but I did. After ffxi introduced zerg parties (I hate/dislike games with this motto) and nubs getting 75 in less then a week and having no idea how to play due to abusing a broken mechanic (much like ffxiv's old leve's) I quit. Abysea/Astral Burns imo were ffxi's downfall. Hard!

On Topic, I love small group grinding parties. Leves and Behest although a option and should remain that way, are terribly boring.

ff11 solo was NOT the best way to rank up. that is a fact. You had one MAB two jobs you could solo level out of 24 jobs. i played for 6 years and have 7 jobs on 75 and i leveled them all (cept BLM) in a party just like everyone esle.

The point is in FF14 you can rank up almost hassle free with leves and behests solo. there were not many ways to get xp in ff11 solo. In would take 15 times longer were as in FF14 solo is much better. this is the point. Not saying you can not do it but its stupid to do it when that game Asea and parties was the MAIN why to level no way around it.
