    Level 50 Dungeons are pointless besides Law =(

    The level 49 dungeon gives 300k experience for completion. Level 51 dungeons give 400k experience for completion. Level 50 dungeons give 0 experience for completion, and 150kish if you duty roulette.

    So, what is the point to doing them if you don't have them unlocked and you have a new character?

    Appearance Gear?
    Nope, the new 52-59 gear is the same gear from the older zones, and they can be dyed! You can cheaply buy full sets for less then 100k gil.

    Give Stat Gear?
    Nope, the new level 50 main storyline quest gives way better gear now. The gear from these dungeons are worthless.

    Experience?
    Nope, older and newer dungeons are better. Don't even need to roulette them its a bonus. Plus if you get the older dungeons in the low level que its the experience + the roulette bonus.

    Law?
    Neverreap and Fractal give 80 Law, and possibility of a bonus. If you do Expert you can get 80+40+80. Whilst the high level que can only give 100 max. You also have to wait longer doing high level ques.

    So, even though its not pointless.. Its worse.

    Fun?
    Well, I love doing them. However I can't because I need to level my alt and doing them is a waste of my time.

    I just do not see a point to these dungeons as they are. There is no reason why they don't reward experience. These zones are fun and deserve to be ran, not be worthless content. Please consider this and thank you for reading. =)

    I do them cause they are fun, give decent gear for leveling up, and allow me to practice my new compliment of skills.

    I will continue to do them and enjoy them while you sulk in a corner, wringing your hands over how to get the most reward for the least effort.

    The roulette xp bonus is actually pretty solid.

    Doing the roulette for law is still more effective than queueing a 60 dungeon if you've already done your expert roulette (unless you get bonus).

    These zones are fun and deserve to be ran, and were ran for quite some time. They had the spotlight and now we've moved on. Now they still have their niche, but yeah they'll always be secondary to the newer content.

    Not really. It is almost half of what I get from running Aurum Vale. I don't recall the other zones losing their spotlight.

    Yeah av gives more exp. It also takes 3x as long as most high dungeons. Every Lv 50 dungeon in 110 cap gear can be done in 10 min. Av takes ages. I'll keep doing my high roulette for exp every day over spamming av thank you very much.

    What about new players, who need to do several dungeons to even gain access to these dungeons? Its still not much, and AV isn't that bad. You just skip the one named.

    They're roulette fodder now, but for me I had to do them for a while to complete the old Zodiac for Glamour, and I don't regret going back to do so.

    Really? So you still did WP speedruns in 2.2 to farm your tomes? Spammed sastasha nm to grind xp from 35+? There's always been a linear progression to this game.

    I hope you weren't saying that with a straight face. Only so many times I can stand watching someone get clubbed to death, or pull an entire room of enemies with poison, before I lose my mind.
