Thread: Are the new dungeons REALLY worth it?

Well, that's why people prefer to spam FATES in N.Thanalan instead of doing the new FATEs in Ishgard or doing dungeons. They're actually working on it.

I am so sick of the old dungeons, done them soo many times, so to me its worth it doing the new ones. I don't care if they give me 50% less exp, they are refreshing and somewhat fun.
And fun > efficiency

I haven't been able to bring myself to be dungeon or FATE grinding, getting levels through daily roulettes only.

I spend most of my time right now gathering and crafting - and man.... GC crafting dailies - all those new recipes takes super long to prepare all the materials and components to make the final product. It doesn't leave me much free time to be grinding battle classes.

Most of Players there have probably done their first job (not speaking about the bots there...) in the heavensward storyline.
So, it's about 30k~ exp/fate with armory bonus, with all the people (bots...) there, it's getting really fast.

As for expert dungeon, the first one is really annoying, i mean for the last boss.

Thoughts?

24K xp for 3mn je 240K for 30mn, sohm Al is at least 260K, so it's still better.
