I don't know what they have in the code for crafting levequests but it leaves alot to be desired.
    I can explain how this happened, though I can't explain why they chose to make it work this way. Available leves automatically reshuffle every time your leve count refreshes (when you get +4 leve credits), but for some stupid reason, they only shuffle after you check the counter. Your experience actually had nothing to do with you switching jobs.

    This means you can do the following:
    1) View leves available at counter (any type).
    2) Wait until after the next leve refresh without completing any leves.
    3) View leves available at counter (same type as step 1) - these leves will be identical to the ones viewed in step 1
    4) Back out of all the menus
    5) View leves available at counter (same type as step 1) - these leves will be shuffled and no longer match what you just saw in step 3 (or 1) unless you're really unlucky.
    6) If you keep checking the counter now without completing a leve or waiting for the next leve cycle, the leves will always match what you saw in step 5.

    Yeah, leves are messed up.

    I often take advantage of this behavior for leves (of any type). After being logged out for a while, I'll check the counter, pick up leves, then turn around and re-check the counter to see if there are any new leves that shuffled in.

    It actually makes the most sense with the level dynamics. With 25 level levequests coming up at 20, 35 at 30 etc so many are abandoned they can't use turn in as the trigger so the next best solution was to make it leve counts. Besides if I had to make priority, this would be lower on the list than other things.

    The level 20 Armorer one was in in Limsa and you had to go to bongo so and so to get the materials and do turn in. I could get the quest, go to him, do the quest, turn in and go back to the leve desk. It took less time to do all that than it did for the girl at the desk to render back on to the screen. Latency in this game is by far their biggest detriment, I dare say it always has been.
