Sooo what about leveling a second class to 60?

[ZDamned]

Cause it's in the patch notes. I haven't touched a second job yet but if it's not there, that's probably a bug.



But you're right. the armory bonus isn't at 60 per se, it's simply on anything lower than your highest level job.

You are wrong, I tested this, with a friend who had a 60 while I was 59. We got the same EXP. 100% the same on several different jobs. And one of those jobs was my level 59.

There is no bonus for being 60. The grind will take literally 9 straight days worth of play time inside dungeons just to go from 51-60.

Daily Roulettes, then do your challenge log. FATEs might not be worth it on their own, but if you do it just for the challenge logs then it is. Same with levequests. If you're insane and can fill out the challenge log in 2-3 days then...grind it out? Once you get your first 60 and then focus on challenge log entries and doing your daily roulettes I don't think it'll be TOO much of a problem to level subsequent classes to 60 but I don't even have a 60 yet so I can't say.

Also, the Large Scale levequests are NOT worth it for EXP. Those are for the gil and for the amber rewards. Do normal levequests for EXP - per leve allowance it's double the EXP than you get from large scale leves.

If that's the case then it's a bug. The patch notes clearly state that once you get a level 60, subsequent classes/jobs get a bonus to experience.

You don't seem to understand how the Armory Bonus works.
You get more xp for for any Job lower than your highest level.

You will not get the bonus at 60 because that's the highest level you can be.
You will get the bonus for every Job lower than 60 if you have a 60.

Don't compare to someone else, just kill something with any job lower than your highest and check the gain experience.
There is a % in the brackets like (+50%), so there's also no need to check the actual experience number.

Regardless you can't argue with the patch notes. There's meant to be an armory bonus after 50 (if there's none, it's a bug).
The Armory bonus has never had anything to do with hitting max level though. It's not a bonus for that.
It's a bonus for having any job at a higher level than the one you're currently on.
You could get the armory bonus by only having a level 5 class and then switching to a level 1 class.

Hitting the cap just means every level before is covered.

Not really that weird.
They already said 50-60 was meant to be the equivalent of 1-50 in ARR.

Did you just decide to ignore what I said?

I had a 59 Paladin. My friend had a 60 White Mage.
We changed to Warriors. Both of us were level 50 on warrior.
We did a fate, and gained 14,000 EXP.
What am I missing here?

I got my Dragoon to 53 and decided to change to Machinist, and I got increased experience from the FATEs.

Because you both have the Armory Bonus because you both have Jobs that are higher level than your 50s.
That's all it takes for the Armory Bonus to activate. Being 60 is meaningless.

I don't know if I'm not explaining this well or something.
The Armory Bonus simply buffs every Job lower than your highest level.
You will both get the Armory bonus at 50, because you both have Jobs that are already higher.
It doesn't matter if his is 59 and yours is 60.

You would only see a difference in xp if you killed something at 59 (when that is your highest) and he killed the same thing.
If you both switch to lower Jobs, you both have the bonus.

From the patch notes:

The armoury bonus when below level 50 has been increased to a 100% increase in experience points gained.
From level 50 onward, the armoury bonus is a 50% increase in experience points gained.

There is nothing anywhere about a special bonus for having a level 60 job.

I also said in my first explanation that I tested with my 59 paladin as well. SAME EXP. The bonus is a Myth.

I just tested it.
I switched to DRG that's at 50 and got an additional 50% xp.
Here is a picture.

As you can see it says lancer experience first at 481 (+115%) experience points.
The second gain was 101 (+60%) on my rogue which is my highest.
The Heat of Battle and full rested experience accounts for the +60% on my rogue.

My 50 lancer gained +115% which would be the 60% from heat and rested, as well as +50% armory bonus.
There's a extra 5% in there for some reason, but the armory bonus is clearly there.
