What to do when out of leves? Grind?

[coldviper18]

I'm trying to find this game fun with how broken it is... but I feel like there's nothing to do when I'm out of leves, I could do a few quests, or grind. Or possibly find a group to grind with.

Grind... That is all. No matter what there is besides the few quests I could do, all I can do is Grind. Even find a group to grind with, which is pretty close to impossible. Usually find a duo at most which doesn't work to well.

I honestly feel like the concept of leves just wants me to not play until I build more up...

Or you could do the quests you keep mentioning. Until you've done them all, you have no cause for complaint; there is content that you are willfully ignoring. If the game is feeling like a grind to you now, you should probably quit before you invest any more time in it. If you're trying to force yourself to have fun on a game you perceive as broken, I don't know what to tell you other than that sounds sort of sadistic.

Also, I have great success duoing. Not sure what your issue is.

You whine and complain and you havent even hit level 15 yet. Oh dear.

If its any concelation, leve xp becomes greatly inferior at 30+ for Disciples of War/Magic.

Once you break out of the mid 20's, you can hit 50 in 2 days.

Leves as they are at the moment are not a viable way of doing anything, except craft.

Welcome to FFXIV.

In the OP's defense, there aren't a plethora of side quests to do at their level. The only thing outside of leves or grinding that they can do is trying to get a group together for Shposhae and do some party killing in there. They can also do a couple story quests.

Grind to 50?

Also, in this person's defense, low level leves are just borked atm. I hear unless you can get a small group or people to grind with, progression is god awfully slow.

So, maybe go do that? Dunno what you expect from a MMO if you are questioning a party grind. You will always need to do this at some point.

Until you hit around rank 22, Leves will be a main source of content, as well as Main Story and Side Quests.

Take a look at your profile, you have not done a single quest short of the opening cut scene! If you would like to know what you have available currently, check this out. http://www.ffxiv-db.com/questcheck.p...n4=1&option5=1

There is lots of content to be had. I bet by the time you get things done you'll have a good stack of Leves to use to push you up over the threshold. Once 25 hits, you'll have lots to do.

You're also in good range to tackle Shposhae, the level 15 dungeon. It contains 3 NMs and good drops at your rank. Also a great place to level up.

I've played many mmo's. And have grinded in many. The most common FFXI, you could fairly easily get a group together and grind XP that way, here it's near impossible to find a group of people. Let alone where to grind. WoW, you can do quests all the way up to 85. Actually there's even more than that in WoW to level. PvP, Dungeons, Grinding and Quests all very viable ways of leveling.

I'm meerly asking what there is else to do, but no one can give me anything other than "You're not even level 15!" Or "You haven't done a single side quest aside from the opening cut scene!". For one, I'm actually 14 in several classes and 17 on thaumaturge now. And secondly, no I haven't done any side quests because my personal preference in any MMO has just been level now, do the quests later. Because I absolutely hate spending a bunch of time on a quest only to get to a part where I need to kill something and I'm not even remotely high enough level to do it. And I have looked at the list of potential quests and there are not that many available to my level that I could probably finish in less than a days playtime.

Obviously, the hostility of everyone has shown and made my point more valid. There's nothing to do but grind. And while that's typically how all MMO's are, most of them try to make it less tedius by having many other options. This game, has one. Leves, and it runs out quite fast before you basically can either just go out and grind mobs over and over. Or not play the game as that's what Leves are basically telling you to do.

There was no hostility in my post at all, I was trying to help you. *shrug*

You're whining about a lack of content, and yet when content is offered to you, you refuse to do it. You're the one with the problem here. Leves are not the only thing to do, they're just the only thing you're willing to do.
