Hi all,

I have a question that I haven't been able to find an answer to regarding leveling and exp gain.


I play FFXIV with my boyfriend, I am a DRG and he is a WM.

On our jobs we level, do duties and story quests together and we've discovered that even if we're doing the same leveling tasks together I pull ahead with exp and overtake his exp by large amounts, as a result I am leveling a lot sooner than him and We'd like to know why.

We play as a party, we both eat food (however I eat 2 at a time to get an hour buff opposed to one), We both do the same quests and don't do any exp gaining activities without eachother.

I was thinking that it might have something to do with the gods that we choose on Character Creation or our characters birth date's that might affect the rest buffs you get. I also thought it might be just because of our different jobs so we scale or gain exp at a different rate but I don't have an answer...

Any advice would be appreciated!
