What is the point of the large scale leves?

The big leves gives you the exp of 5 normal leves, even tho it takes 10 leve allowances.
At least they are done and over with 3 times faster if not more than actually doing 5 normal leves.
Also they are pretty fun to challenge solo, unless you fail :/

which one's? they are closer to 3x the xp - don't be fooled by your 50% armory bonus - large leves... well, leves in general are terrible for XP post 50 - they need to be massively buffed as leveling alt jobs is so slow and grindy... and you can only suffer through the same dungeon so many times.

I don't think you get them on exp rewards, only on kill exp.

armory bonus absolutely is applied to leves, it is NOT reflected in the quest text only the reward notice upon turning them in

which one's?

Dunno? I only use them if I have a job at like... lvl 58... ran out of any other bonuses in the challenge log and really... Im sitting at 100 leves almost all the time anyway.
The armory bonus doesn't apply to the leve reward btw :/
Even if they are only half the exp you get from them (or 3 if you so prefer) it still feels rewarding (altho fake) to see those 170k exp come up in one go by battling 3~10 mins.

Tho if you are at peak times for FATEs, those beat leves by an mile and half (normal or large)
