Problem with DF

[Anapingofness]

And yet SE is not caring and is going to let this problem persist, therefore pissing a lot of people off on their first playthrough and losing quite a few long term customers. Splendid idea not to have more than just Dungeons as a reliable source of EXP, because I just asked and no one in my FC is wanting to help me.

What do you expect SE to do?
This is a player issue. More players want to play DDs then they do Tanks and Healers. With 2.4 out the older players are leveling Rogue/Ninja, doing the new MSQ and Hildibrand quests, some have chosen to tackle FCoB right from the start.


Fact of the matter is that Dungeons aren't the only source of reliable exp.

The best thing new players can do for themselves is do, in this order,
1.Main Scenario Quests
2.Side Quests**
3.Hunt Log*
4.Challenge Log*
5.Guildhests + Guildhest Roulette
6.Dungeons + Dungeon Roulette
7.Fates
8.Leves

*Numbers 3 and 4 are more or less interchangeable. Also the Challenge Log resets weekly and scales up with you as you level.
** At level 41 players can start doing the Beastmen Daily quests which are repeatable.

Without the armory bonus the amount of exp obtained from Fates and Leves is pretty abysmal. Once you get one class to lvl50 then you get a bonus based on the discrepancy of the levels between the two jobs.

Also new players should ask their FC (if they have one) to keep up Heat of Battle II buff, to eat food even if it is cheap merchant food, and when they do log that they log out in a City or a Camp so that they can build the rested exp bonus.
Lastly, when queuing for DF I strongly recommend that you queue during peak hours for your server, make sure that all language options are checked off and that you have selected 'join in progress'. It may help cut down the wait.

Don't get me wrong though, I can understand your frustration but Dungeons are not the only way to get exp.
If it is your first time going through the main scenario, you had best stick to the MSQ and SQ.
When I took Warrior to 50 at launch I exclusively did the MSQ and SQ for my lvls. There are more then enough quests to level one person from 1-50.
I did the dungeons to progress w/ the MSQ or for completions sake. I didn't farm them and I didn't farm Fates for exp. If I caught one otw to my next quest I did it.
