And don't forget about the Ixal's "Deliverance" quest. Quite a bit of exp to get to at least Level 55 especially if the item has a Star.

This thread made me LOL (in a good way) because this is exactly how my FC members react whenever I reach Level 60 with a crafter or gatherer. I got CUL and FSH to 60 first and I am now using them to farm scrips, which in turn will give nice items for my other crafters and gatherers. I got LTW to 60 and I am working on WVR, MNR and BTN.

No I don't have a lot of time in my hands, I work 7am to 6pm. No I don't have a crapton of gil, I only had 1.5m when Heavensward started. No I didn't burn through cutscenes, I even take 10 to 15 minutes to read the dialogue. I don't read leveling guides, I'm just efficient with what resources I have and have noted things as I played (the GC turn ins, deliverance, collectables, etc)

But in the end, I am able to do this because it's a pace that I am used to. I multitask a lot and when I run out of things to do, I help other people out with things they have to do. To each their own so don't worry about other people's progress; enjoy the game at your own pace! ^^
