Temple Leves seem to be a disapointment

[Nalien]

IMO .. the Large Scale Leves should have offered somewhere around 11-13 times the normal Leve reward, for the 10 Allowances cost.
This makes them worth doing (because you're getting 10 to 30 percent more reward compared to just doing ten normal Leves) without making them too good.

I think that would be a mistake. They need to balance them against the regular ones, and unless they made Temple Levequests significantly more challenging, that would simply be completely unbalanced. Currently I think they've gone for a time/reward balance with them; Regular Levequests take more time, but will get you more rewards. Temple Levequests take significantly less time for less rewards. Per allowance, of course. If they just changed the rewards, there would be no point in ever doing regular ones; You get more EXP/Gil from Temple ones and Temple ones are faster.

They could very easily balance the crafting ones, by simply changing the required items for Master recipes on Temple Levequests, but I'm not sure how they'd achieve a similar thing for gathering to be honest, and the clamoring majority of casuals might loath any difficulty on battlecraft ones, though I'd personally love it.

I think I prefer the suggestion Felis proposed actually. Something extra, rather than something competing for the same allowance/time.

I was under the imprrssion big leves would be kind of like solo fate chains (or grouped).or a solo guildhest.

I havent tried them yet but reading your post tells me they arent

They are great for gathering jobs, but I always found battle leves pointless anyways.

Temple Leves are simply a conduit by which you can spend large chunks of leves quickly but at the expense of reduced EXP. In FFXIV they had things similar to leves called Coalition Assignments. These could be used with Coalition Imprimaturs which recharged every 8 hours and could hold up to 15. You only needed to expend 1 Imprimatur to activate the quest, or you could expend up to 3, for the same difficulty but higher rewards. However, expending 3 Imprimaturs did not give 300% the EXP, as it was more efficient to use the tags individually (but this meant doing 15 Assignments at 1000 EXP each, vs doing 5 Assignments at 2500 EXP each).

So if you have 100 leves saved up, could just burn them down for quick exp, vs doing 100 leves which would warrant killing yourself.

I built a full party for temple leves anticipating something challenging.

Whoops.

I did the same. It would be great if leves would scale based off the size of the party, but I want something more. I feel like there is a good system here, that would be fun and people would take advantage of, but it's not this system... Just hopeful we will see some more adjustments to this system.

Even if they added Temple level (P) to say, hey, you'll want to be in a party for this content. Nothing against solo content, all for that, so this isn't anything against the current system, just wanting more.

I see the strength of how they do it now, just like you pointed out what it's currently good for... I am just a bit disappointed, and wanting more out of the system as a whole. Ether this system, or something that uses allowances for party based, challenging content.

I think there have been some good ideas listed here, having a boss jump in and change up the leve goals, I thought sounded fun.

I thought the point of the temple leves was basically to get the amber to exchange for the items only available that way. So that is the reason to do the temple leves instead of the regular - the amber.

I never did levequests before because they are all boring, so the large scale leves were very useful for me to quickly get some EXP I was missing for the next story quest since I had 100 allowances.

I would never have bothered to do the 1 allowance leves.

You wasted Exp.

This. I have a job to go to, other games to play, a house to clean, etc. and leves are the most boring, awful content this game has to offer. At least these allow me a way to spend the allowances I had sitting at 100 all the time.

I'm actually surprised so many people have posted that they even bother with leves.

yeah it was underwhelming.. i was hoping something more intricate.
