Feedback: Levelling EXP for secondary Jobs

[UBERHAXED]

What makes may Drg still lvl 30 is DPS queue.
Hunting log... Hmmm.. Where is the god damn monster?

So far fate is enjoyable but can't summon companion while queuing, so I will not queue while fate.

Dear grasshopper...
That being said, why do you refuse to believe the that yo ucan get exp outside of FATEs and dungeons?

Leve mainly for my DOH & DOL...
Guildhest is boring I will queue it once a day for bonus...

I wish they put more quest for me to lvl my other class, and I don't like the queue popup while I'm in conversation with npc or in the middle of cutscene. I will queue if I craft for levequest or do nothing... So far lvling Tank & healer is the easiest with Dungeon but repetitive... also boring. It might be take an ages for me to lvl other class.

Once Heavensward coming out, player can go low lvl dungeon with less party member and remove sync.
I hope I can leech exp by asking my friends to party with me and zerg fest ha ha ha ha.

Wow, I had to check when this topic was made because leveling is now WAY easier and faster than it used to be.

Dungeons actually give decent exp now, AND we have the low level roulette.

Fates also give loads of exp if you don't want to queue for dungeons.

Maybe you are just impatient? It's already easy to level, how fast do you want it to be?

Edit: and yes, I do have all classes at 50 - roulette, hunting log, guild hests and extra dungeons + rested exp is very efficient, plus fating in the good places at the appropriate level (costa, coerthas, northern thanalan).

Yeah, it takes time, but it's a big goal!

Here's a very structured way to level any secondary combat class to 50.

Plan A.
1. Do daily low-level roulette.
2. Wait for tomorrow and go to #1.

Plan B.
1. Do level appropriate leve.
2. If allowance > 0, go to #1. Else wait for allowance then go to #1.

Plan C.
1. Queue the highest level possible dungeon.
2. Go to #1.

Plan D.
1. Do level appropriate FATEs.
2. Go to #1.

Plan E.
1. Choose what you feel like doing from Plan A-D. Do it.
2. Go to #1.

One strange question I have to ask the OP: What do you plan on DOING with your jobs once they're all 50? Do you plan on playing them all? If not, then why rush them all to 50? Take your time with them and have fun playing. Don't burn yourself out. If you do plan on playing them all, sadly that isn't as feasible as it sounds. No matter what, you're still going to have to choose one main job to gear with the highest item level while the rest get geared with the next highest item level.

Nobody is going to think you're gimped because you don't have everything at 50. Just make sure you have the appropriate cross class skills for your job.

I don't plan on playing them all all the time, but you might level a class get to 50 then realise if wasnt as you expected or you don't like how it plays (or they change the way it plays over the patches). Then you have to go back and level the next class to see if you like that (which is fine to learn the new class as you level etc). However, leveling the second class on a casual basis when you don't really want to play your main etc is tedious, slow, unorganised and off-putting, especially when you see the time you will need to put into it just so you can play at level 50 with a class you might enjoy. Then again you might not enjoy that class so its back to the drawing board. Just because I picked a class when I started playing the games doesn't mean I will enjoy it over the course of the Expac. Having to go back without the main scenario quests and level again can make you feel like it just isn't worth it. Having the additional class or two to swap to when you get sick of your main (or to switch it up so you don't get sick of your main) is really the goal.

Snip.

I see. The best suggestion I can offer is one that's already been given. Back when I leveled ninja to 50, I was in a similar situation (only had maybe 2-3 hours to play). I would flag up for low level roulette, do fates til it popped, and use the challenge log. I had my ninja to 50 in about 2-3 weeks.

What I would also suggest is first start leveling all your jobs to 30. By then you should have a good feel for how each play. Then, you can see which ones you want to main, sub, etc. (Plus, once you DO find a job you really enjoy, then you'll have most of your cross class abilities.)

We know once you have your first 50, all other classes get a permanent 50% bonus to exp.

Yoshida also said in at least one of the recent interviews, that performing non-heavensward content come 3.0 will offer more than 2 times the leveling speed that it does today.

And you can tack on exp bonus from doing dailies, headgear (with built in bonus) and exp bonus from food.

Well he doesn't clarify if it all content outside HW, or just the MSQ in ARR that will be doubled. It kinda sounds like its only the MSQ.

Hmmm if that is indeed the case, that sounds like a bunch of no help..
Iirc, isn't MSQ pretty much on par with level 1-50? as in, your main job won't have trouble getting to 1-50 with MSQ and a little supplementation from other things..
So if they double MSQ, people will probably end up hitting level 50 when the MSQ is in lv 40s. Which will only make people like me pick up an alt job and catch up (to not waste that exp) and ends up making leveling longer.

I grinded dungeons too much with my WAR as I was leveling and I ended up hitting lv 50 when my MSQ was still 34. It was such a pain to get my second class (SCH) to 34 just so I could start doing MSQ again without losing the exp. But that happened because of my play style, if HW doubles ONLY the MSQ exp, then same thing will happen to everybody (at least the ones still playing ARR)
