Can you please provide some sort of challenge while questing? Leveling is horrible!

[Fire-Dragon-DoL]

I'm not sure what's going on, but leveling got extremely horrible. I'm almost level 54 and I'm already bored with leveling.

I spent 6 hours talking with people basically saying the same thing over and over (chocobo hunters), getting various random item from ground and fought mobs that take 1 minute to die but doesn't offer ANY threat. I feel lucky when I can pull 4 of them to instantly complete a quest because at least I can do it faster (and they STILL don't pose any threat).

This is killing me, and there is no excuse of "it's a tutorial", I already leveled up 50 times, I believe it's enough for tutorials.

This is just bad design, either make leveling faster or make it fun. FATE Are SOMEWHAT interesting, but I'm "back" in leveling compared to people so all zones are empty, can't really FATE by myself (and even doing so, reward is none). I leveled a bit in dungeon but after 4 times it gets extremely repetitive too (I have one dungeon available, I still need to get the new one)

I can tell you, leveling as a machinist is definitely more dangerous. Relatively low dps + no self healing/damage protection skills whatsoever = lose half health by the time you defeat one enemy and don't even try to face two.

Dragoon is the same way... and you end up getting a whopping 700-800 XP (with food bonus!) for killing said single mob.

Meanwhile Miners and Botanists get about 2000-3000 XP for one swing of the pickaxe or scythe.

Come, join the FATE zerg with us...

Really? I actually find fighting as my dragoon a lot easier. It's sturdier, has more HP and higher defense stats, and I can cross class a crapload of tanking/self healing skills. And stuff tends to die a lot quicker because you do more damage, so a shorter time in which you take damage, too.

And yeah, just killing random mobs for leveling is not the way to go. FATEs for everyone!

Well I'm not killing randomly, I'm doing quests :P

Where do you FATE guys? The zone where I'm in is basically empty

"Harder" leveling? What in the hells are you talking about?

Leveling is, never was, and never will be "hard". What you're wanting is it to be monotonous, tedious, and no less than a chore unless you sit in a piss boring FATE group all day.

I wonder why they even add leveling if it should be that boring.
Wasted resources!
It's terrible, sigh.

A challenge? You mean, like, better hidden moogles?

That's the only challenge in quests, currently. Find the person you have to speak to.

Whoever came up with this idea needs to be fired. There is nothing fun nor challenging about having to play where's waldo with npc's. It's a needless time sink in a game already full of needless time sinks.

Pull 2, drop Bishop Turret and let it tank the add.
My chocobo is out in healer mode permanently while i'm questing. I even get EXP chains when quest mobs are close together.

As a MCH, takes me 20 - 30 seconds to kill a mob my level (Choco doesnt attack at all) so i really do think its a case of PEBKAC

Ah, I didn't think a turret could take that, but if it can that might work. Thanks for telling me (though the insult at the end was really rather unnecessary).
