    I started playing just over a month ago. I did sch from 1-50, did every story patch quest pre heavenward, then levelled AST from 30-60 all within my first free 30 days of gametime. During this time I also spent around a week trying to figure out how and where I wanted my character and did almost all gathering/crafting to 15, also did thm 26 and whm 34. A lot of the time I was without a free company and the one I joined is too small to keep exp boost up for a long period.

    Counted 10 days from when I started my first patch 2.1 quest till when I hit lvl60 on AST

    My opinion: I was told early how slow levelling is, but honestly? This wasn't slow at all.

    Like others said, do different things to break it up. I do hunts / fates / roulette. Problem with people wanting to level multiple jobs is they want it instantly. I'm on my second job it's 57, no rush, taking it to 60 won't take long at all..then it's off to PLD and WAR.

    It doesn't take long, just doesn't come as quick as others would like. When I take it casually, the time just goes by and I'm 60. When I grind though, that's when I start to feel like things are slow and I want them to be done now now now so I can go back and do the same thing. That's the point when you are burnt on the game and need to take a break. It's going to be there when you get back, go craft or gather. I took 3 days off so far, my friend just came back after a week.

    Don't like to craft? Gather, don't like to gather or craft, start breaking it up into different XP methods. Feel like "ugh all I'm doing is the same rotation over and over, just doing it on a different location"..take a break? Let the joy of the game flow back through you and then when you play you're having fun and not a chore of leveling. Then again it's different things that people do or don't enjoy. This is just what I do.

    Is spamming Vault actually really good xp? I just did that dungeon for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it so that would make me happy if it was a legit way to grind some xp.

    Wish Rested bonus + 50% Armory I get about 500k per run in the Vault. The exp is only hindered by my 15 minute DPS que times and the occasional bad party.

    I sort of understand the will to have separate roulette but then again, the purpose of the leveling roulette in the game is not as much to give us daily exp bonus, as it is to ensure there are people running stuff so those who need it for main quest or first times have ample player pool. The bonus exp and tomes is just a carrot to make high levels to run the content. When the hw is a bit older and majority of the player base starts to be in the 50+ scale the roulette will start giving more and more the high end dungeons.

    If you say 'pls' because it's shorter than 'please', I say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes'.

    Then you probably shouldn't be playing an MMO.

    Grind fates while you wait for df, use leves.

    Threads like these are a waste and a distraction to the devs. There are real issues that need work.

    A waste? I don't think so the OP has legit fixes that are proposed to make the 50-60 grind less like spam 1 dungeon 5-10 for each level. That's not fun or enjoyable it's just that way to make you pay your sub longer nothing else. In ARR levels 15-50, dungeons majority of the time you got your level in 2-3 dungeons tops and that meant you could do the next dungeon sooner. This made the grind less so because you're not stuck doing the same freaking dungeon for like 15 runs before you can do the next dungeon. So no this is not a waste it's an improvement that should be made. It's not like they are ignoring the other changes that need to be made in the game such as class balance.

    Yes getting to 60 on alt jobs is a pain. 25 min wait times + crappy exp per kill. Yea you get a nice exp boost from killing a boss but I think it should be doubled if on a second job.

    Were numbers invented or discovered? How many Moogles does it take to make Kuponut rum? Answer: zero... They will give you a quest to make it.

    It's called replay value, dungeons are supposed to be run many times by an individual. The sooner you get to level 60 the less you have to look forward to anyway.
