Levequest SP post 1.18a

[Tuxedomask]

Heya, as a player that just started back up after 1.18 (I played beta+first week, then quit)... I do notice the SP gains in leves.

I'm currently a 28 LNC.
I completed all my lv.30 dailies @2-3*, and after all said n' done, I gained 25k out of the 31k needed to level + about 50k Gil.
Definitely worth it, but I do feel forced to get an SP party for the simple reason that doing all those quests takes FOREVER because there are no quick means of transportation without spending what little anima I have.

Then I realize, most parties really arn't that good, because people are too incompetent and think killing mobs in 30ish seconds for 400SP and losing all TP transitioning to the next mob, is better than killing mobs for 150ishSP in 5 seconds with no TP loss.

The (Nanawa Mines) Eastern Camp is a perfect example of god tier camps. You kill puks in about 5 seconds, and they are so clustered that you never lose TP. I got from level 20-26 in about 3½ hours @35k SP/hr, lowering 1k/hr everytime someone leveled higher.

Or, I can party "@R20-24 Camp Drybone -Amalj'aa Encampment", because my party leader refused to do (Nanawa Mines) due to "Low SP" aka "Big Number Syndrome", and make a measly 12k/hr... you do gain about 400SP per kill, BUT the mobs take so long to kill, and they are so spread out, you lose all TP generation.

TL;DR As a casual in 1.18a, I'm stuck between waiting 36 hours for the next set of quests for good SP and Gil gains, or I have to hope someone competent is making a party when I'm online. (Making parties takes forever on my server... I guess there arn't many High 20's low 30's.)
