Duty Roulette: Leveling

[VraeliaValkyria]

For those that are actually trying to level, having Trials in this Roulette is utter nonsense. dungeon EXP from targets/bosses + Roueltte bonus is better. Not going in doing hardly nothing at all for a mere roulette bonus is not good enough. and 200k+? No. That's incorrect. It scales with your level. I just tried to do Leveling and got Ifrit storyline mode, and I exited. Because that would be a waste of a roulette for me. At level 39. I don't get 200k+. :P If it isn't a dungeon, it defeats the purpose of 'leveling'.

Your post makes no sense in terms of efficient leveling. You sat in a queue, then took a 30 minute penalty, so you can sit in a queue again just to run a 20-30 minute dungeon. Say you queued as dps, that's a 30 minute penalty, 10 minute queue (being generous here) plus a 20 minute dungeon run, 60 minutes total time to get exp from a dungeon plus DR bonus. In that time, you could have completed Ifrit Story in 5-6 minutes, queue for your highest 3 dungeons (26 minutes, using a 20 minute queue), run the dungeon and finish it in 25 minutes for a total of 51 minutes. That gives you pretty much the same amount of exp in a shorter amount of time. That was using liberal times for your re-queue and conservative times for if you just stayed in the trial in the first place.

that logic only works if leveling roulette bonus XP could get given multiple times. its once a day, so you should use it to get the biggest bonus you can.

The bonus is the same, so it would be better to do the trial and then a dungeon, which you don't mind to do (likely the highest one).

Why should I quit Ifrit, eat a 30 min penalty (and waste other ppls time as well), join roulette again and getting something like Tam-Tara (or a trial again ), when i can just do Ifrit, get the bonus and q for Brayflox, Quarn, etc. afterwards?
