    Heavensward Leveling... aka Northern Thanalan Leveling

    After hitting 60 on June 20th, and being full law geared 2 days after I've now looked into leveling another job only to realize that.. Northern Thanalan fate grinding gives more exp than fates in HW zones (which also have mobs with significantly greater healthpools).

    My only question to SE is: why? What possible reason would you have for making this design choice? There is ZERO reason to even be in those HW zones to level a 2nd job to 60. I'm on a very high population server and right now the busiest zone isn't in Ishgard, it's in Northern Thanalan.

    Please buff HW fates. I've used NThan since 2.0 launched, I know I (and 99% of the player population) is sick of that zone, and would much rather be flying around in the new locations enjoying the new content you worked so hard on.

    +1, Heavensward FATE XP amounts are a joke (a really bad one, at that). Less XP for greater effort? Why? Isn't the risk-reward balance a little... off?

    You can always not FATE grind.. I personally hate leveling like that.

    It's pretty much a technical reason they didn't foresee. Every FATE has a base EXP gain that scales with your level and the base EXP in N.Thanalan FATEs just happens to be larger than it is in HW zones. They can't lower it because that would affect everyone. What they could do is change the formula once you hit level 50, or cap the experience, which they should be able to do, they already did it to tradecraft leves.

    The FATE Zerg in NThan is a sight to behold.

    Depending on your connection and draw rate, I've heard people say, from their POV, the FATE mobs spawned, already dead.

    And Gorgimera never knew what hit it.

    I like FATE grinding because it's a way you can pretty mindlessly advance (usually while listening to podcasts or something) but also kinda-sorta contribute to other peoples' advancement just by helping hit things. Northern Thanalan is zone that's super visually dull, though -- one of the very few in FFXIV, to the game's credit, but still.

    Just add a buttload of XP to HW area FATEs and we're all good.

    My computer (GeForce 760 Ti) has a hard time loading other characters there is so many people in the zone. Just an hour ago, it made my computer freeze there were so many people in the FATE.

    I agree that leveling 50-60 in Northern Thanalan is a joke. We have all these new zones and they make the FATE's useless they need to buff them

    Totally agree. N Thanalan is the hot spot. Fates in the new areas are dead. They really should give more xp.
