Is leveling dead on every server?

[Aunkah]

as the title asks is it dead on every server or just mine? I used to be able to level a job 1-50 in maybe 2 days tops fate grinding now I've been at it for 3 days and only hit 36. It seems no one is doing fates any more even in corthas there is maybe 10-15 during prime time and dungeon ques are forever long.

I feel like SE should ad in some system to ether reset your quest to do for each job and maybe just take rewards other then exp away or at the lest maybe give echo to people soloing fates seen how you can not have your chocobo out and que for dungeons.

I see no mention of levequests or guildhests in this. You do realize guildhest completion bonuses are for individual classes, right? (IE: If you do the first guildhest on rogue, you can still get completion bonus on conjurer.) As for solo dungeons, they're going to make a system where you can recruit grand company NPCs to go with you into dungeons, and you can level them up. (a la GW1 I believe?)

thats true but they are only useful once and give maybe about that same amount as a fate. there is not enough to get you to cap and again cant que for them with chocobo out.

You should take a look at the exp reward the challenge log gives for doing those a set amount of times.

It's just your server. On Jenova there are fate groups in coerthas almost 24/7.

levemates is a fast way

levemates is a fast way

which leves are you doing? mostly i use them for crafting.

[coldreactive]

Harvest mirror apples, other EXP Boosting base ingredients... get your Heat of Battle II buff on at all times.... Once you hit level 50 in one class, you also get a permanent 50% Increase to exp from FATEs. I'm sure you can solo any of the boss fates if they have failed twice recently. (Save for The Eyes Have It, which is why it has a super long respawn time.)

Battlecraft levequests are for your battle classes (Rogue, Ninja, Monk, Pugilist, etc.) The level 1 ones can be found in the starting cities if you can't find them out in the open world.

On ragnarok, we have at least a full party or two in Coerthas FATE Grinding 12 hours a day. (They're usually different parties during that span, but it does span that long abouts.)

I know all that except the boss fate part i was asking which leves in general are worth it in exp as most ive seen are crap exp vs crafting exp.
Also what happens to major boss fates if you fail them twice ive seen nothing happen to them they stay just as hard.

I've done mostly leves getting NIN to where it currently is (lv41), and only jump in to FATEs that are close by or worth running to (eg Svara or Dark Devices). I started around lv10 (it's easy to get there with hunting logs/challenge log/FATEs).

What should be kept in mind is that the Levequest reward list only gives you the base exp not the total you'll get for completion which includes difficulty and speed bonuses, and a bonus if it contains a Wanted target. If you stay at the recommended level, you usually get about 80% more than it says (eg 9k leve probably gives about 16k exp), but can push that to around +100% exp with extra bonuses.

As feedback for it, I did 4 leves at Whitebrim, all at +2 difficult (1 higher than recommended):

Necrologos: Whispers of the Gem (It's a Necrologos type) - ~2 mins (Often you can just camp the same spot and a mob will respawn every time. Not guaranteed but tends to be fast).
Got a Gut Feeling About This (Use item at destination to draw out enemy) - ~3 mins (A little bit of RNG to deal with - I also got interrupted by the FATE that spawns here but that gave an extra 15k exp that I won't count).
The Area's a Bit Sketchy (Head to destination, kill mob that spawns) - ~2mins
Pets Are Family Too (Escort type) - ~4 mins (Escorts are probably the slowest)
So in all, it took me around 10 mins to do all 4 at 1 level higher difficulty than recommended. On the leve plate it says it gives 9k exp. But that is without any bonuses for completion. It's just base exp.

What I actually got in exp, though:

Necrologos - 15,484 reward + 3433 for enemies killed = 18,917 exp
Got a Gut Feeling - 15,484 reward + 1581 for enemies killed = 17,065 exp
The Area's a Bit Sketchy - 17,595 reward (included Wanted target bonus) + 2993 for enemies killed = 20,588
Pets Are Family Too - 15,484 reward + 3678 for enemies killed = 19,162 exp.

In total: 75,732 exp for around 10 mins work.

I got 17k exp from a FATE I jumped into and also happened to give me 51k exp for the first levequest challenge log entry. If I do 20 leves I'd get another 51k exp assuming I don't level and that goes up, as does the leve exp due to higher bonuses from difficulty.

As a note, I also didn't use my chocobo for healing. I could probably push +2 or +3 difficulty.
