Did an instance, nothing gave experience. (Level 50)

only having 3 dungeons to get exp from 50-60 is crazy. There's really not much more to say about it.

The amount of quests that are given to you is absolutely unreal. I've left sidequests behind in several zones now (and more appeared after I'd left those areas as well) simply because I'd progressed further in the story. At this point I'll just save them for when I level up my next class. Secondary classes will also go faster because you won't need to explore.

It took around over 2 million EXP to go from around 55-56 and almost 3 million to go from 56-57 (I'm only 57 at the moment) so the novelty of using lowbie dungeons would wear off pretty quick trying to level to 60 that way.

The higher the difference between the level of the job and the level of the dungeon, the higher the exp bonus the roulette give you.

Most quests earn you about 30k experience. At this stage in my white mage (level 56) I need approximately 2.6 million experience points to reach my goal. It would take 87 such quests to hit my next level.

Story quests give a nice amount of XP, but those are a one-off so they're not going to be available for other jobs I might level. That basically leaves the level 51+ dungeons to get experience in which is just ridiculous. As for the roulette bonus, while nice it's only once per day, so it's never going to be your main source of experience in the game.

Let's be honest, there's no good reason why the level 50 dungeons shouldn't give experience points. Their only reasoning behind it is to get us to do the newer content. An argument which falls flat on its face when you realize that only level 51+ can actually participate in any of it, so any current level 50 jobs are going to be grinding lowbie dungeons regardless.

You only gain experience in level 50 dungeons upon completion of the dungeon.

It's a bit wonky. You would think you should get some kind of exp, but I suppose if that was allowed people would just spam the current level 50 dungeons until they hit 60. So perhaps that's why they didn't make this work that way.

Wow that just sucks. GG Square. Bad enough I have to do all that ilvl90 gear grinds plus story dungeons but I figured at least id get a jimp on XP.

Silly me, forgot what game this was.

Do the quests give XP at least? Or is the entire grind from 2.1 to 2.5 going to be a huge waste of time?
