SP 11-20 vs 45-50

[Betelgeuzah]

Oh I thought you must have because you said that it only takes you an hour or two.

Well technically getting from R10-20 is easy if you have a friend PL you from outside PT and kill all your mobs in one shot for you. But aside from that it takes FOREVER.

You still don't get it? Well, can't expect too much.

Unless something drastically changes after leveling to 14, it takes me 15 mins to gain a level on average. that was before they nerfed mob hp and stats pre-15 though.

Been thinking of making a video. What was the "impossible" to level class? THM? I'll use that one then.

[Antonn]

THM isn't impossible. It's only difficult if you're fighting something that's strong vs Light or Dark & you don't have CNJ leveled to compensate for 1 of your nukes doing half or less dmg.

They're overhauling the caster classes in 1.20 & beyond anyway.

in a party, grinding from 16 or 17 to 20ish on cactuars west of Horizon camp is quite viable. You'll get your fair share of chains. If you're duo or solo, better wait til 18-19. 100 needles can still hurt if you're alone.

After that, move southwest of the big crag with a pathway across it for cactuars between 23 and 26 I think.

Once that is done, there are even more ranging from 25 or 26 to 29 a bit west or a bit south. Can't quite remember.

you can eventually move on to Mitelings just a little north of Nophica's wells when you reach 27-29. These yield massive exp but can link nastily at times. They respawn fast even if you kill them all off in a burn, which is excellent because you get chain 5-8 before they are all cleared. You wait a few seconds for them all to respawn and then you just kill them all again for another chain.

Agree, the leveling curve is off. Leveling should become slower, not faster. It really kills sense of achievement when you hit 50 in just a couple of days.

[Jinko]

Lol even when people are pulled up on the rank and sp thing they still say R10-R20. ^^

I have also noticed the levelling curve has changed, I am slowly just doing leves on my lower classes there is no rush for me as I have several high level classes already.

Must be frustrating for people with low level classes though.

Well im stuck, no sentinel @_@ and I want to do ifrit .. I'm going to try a few of these suggestions thanks for the feedback guys

[Krausus]

I'm sure there are tons of thread about this but wdf reverse leveling curve? 45-50 in 5 hours.. 10-15 takes forever and a day? what??? Please enlighten me if I'm doing something wrong.. Duo-ed level 10 leves one star was a hard fight every time with a level 13 andddd i got bogus sp.. Please assist =\

issue is 11-20 you are probably focusing on leves, people that are getting 45-50 in 5 hours are in grinding parties.

Hire someone to run around and kill your mobs for you?

Or get someone in your LS to take turns with you PLing eachother?

Gladiator is slow to level because dmg output is abyssmal. I've been trying to get sentinel too, such a chore.

Leveling really isn't that hard. The trick is to find a group. Level 1-10 you can do in under an hour, solo. Faster in a group. Level 10-13 you can do very quickly in a group, particularly killing pucks then dodos by skull rock (2 or 3 people is really all that's necessary but the more the merrier).

Once you hit 13, lvl 13-18 is very easy in Shopshae. Kill bats in the early part until everyone hits 15, then move lower killing jellyfish and grippers till 18 or 19.

Once you're 19, you can move onto Casseiopeia Hollow, try to make it into one of the hall ways, stay way from the orobons and other aggro mobs. Kill the jellyfish and insect swarms. This should take you to around 25 at least.

Once you hit 25, more options open up. Places like Mun Tuy Cellars works well at that point. That will take you to 35-40.

Really, the reason the 40-50 grind is so "short" is because everyone does it in parties. If you apply the same mindset to the appropriate places in the earlier levels, they go just as quickly. Now, if only there was a way to easily find party members about your level...

And if there's any XP grind in this game to complain about, imo, it's the DoH grinds... ugh.

I think they should lower EXP after 30. Its idiotic everyone now has pretty much everything leveled.
