The whole leveling experience of a new player... is this?

(continued)



I had run my character all the way up to 12th level before even starting the main quests, just running around and killing things for fun.

I played FFXI originally and the order was... first you get your Chocobo at 20th (Been a while so don't remember)... then you get the ability to ride the ferry... then after that... you get your first airship pass... through the main quests. But in this game the order is strangely reversed.

However running around was getting to be a bit much so I wanted to get my Chocobo or start on it. The guys in the Linkshell told me the MSQ is how you get it... so there I was level 23 doing the level 20 quests and way ahead of my actual level I was supposed to be at.

I didn't hit what you were describing until level 39. Then I noticed the quests would leave me shy of the next level by about a quarter of a bar of experience. One dungeon run always fixed that in as hurry.
