Leve Balancing: Can I Have it?

[Arcell]

Again, off-topic. Back to the real matter at hand, leve availability for crafters and gathrers sucks.

I just picked up gathering again because I figured with the new leve system and Chocobos it would be much more bearable. However grabbing 2 leves for a single city, riding out to the camp, doing them and then Returning to the city isn't much better. I can keep doing this for an extended period of time sure but I spend a lot more time running around than I do actually finishing the leves.

My entire post was about leve availability for crafters and gatherers... It's fine if you didn't read it, as it was really long and not directed at you.. but don't just assume that it was off-topic.

I'm glad you brought this up, because everyone seemed to think (and maybe some still do) that airships and chocobos would make all the travel issues in the game disappear. But as you say, you're still spending more time running around handing in crafting leves than you are actually crafting for them. And there's no sugar coating it - that's just plain stupid.

I like the idea of handing materials into the guild, but I don't want to make that restrict leves to the city with the proper guild. Maybe the NPC vendor for that guild in each city could take care of it.
