Yeah, I was thinking exactly as you are telling me. I stay in the dungeon until I hit the level for the next dungeon and just hope for the best. And that is currently where I am at with Qarn. I would love to leave this place with the arms, and the armor pieces for my whm and sch as they will last me until 45 when I get my AF. For fill-in-the-gaps I have a very supportive FC who makes the HQ versions or purchasable gear. Obviously, doing other things like story quests, side quests, leves, and the like will reduce the amount of runs I go. It's honestly about two runs per dungeon, per job.

Cutter's Cry is next on my hit list, and I really want the hat and body piece that drops in that dungeon. There is a glamour value in those for me, so I might stick it out there a little longer and avoid other means of exp gains if unlucky. I need to look into Darkhold.
