EXP Rewards After Hitting Level Cap

No, you go through the MSQ and leave the sidequests behind for when you want to level more jobs.

The side quests usually tie in with what's happening in the MSQ, so I don't think they're meant to be done separately. At least it's likely not what the story team had in mind for them.

Not to mention that it's rather unpractical to find quests that match the level of whatever job you're currently playing as. Wouldn't you have to teleport to each map and check the quest markers one by one? Surely you'd agree that that's not exactly well designed and worthy of improvement, right?

So, what you're telling me, is that the game is designed for me to go through the story until I hit the level cap, drop everything I was doing right there and then, go back to level 1 with another job, tediously grind that up to the level of my current main scenario quest, and then rinse and repeat once that new job also hits the cap?

not originally, no. originally the MSQ didn't have that much XP, but it's been boosted to that point because lots of people have been skipping the side stuff.

your problem stems from them adding too much XP to the MSQ.

1-50 it's probably bad like that but the expansion zones are very linear in what levels the sidequests are in each zone.

For example:
Fringes + left side of Peaks 60-61
Ruby Sea 62-63
South Yanxia - 64
Steppes - 65-66
North Yanxia - 67
right side of Peaks - 68
Lochs - 69

they have improved overtime but going back to original ARR stuff to fix that is a ton of work.
