New CNJ with questions

I used to think this too, but this is actually false.

The XP you get from the End-of-Dungeon clear is compensated when your level is higher than the level of the dungeon. You get a bonus % applied to your reward so that if you're Level 69 and end up with Sastasha from your Leveling Roulette, you will get very close to the XP you will get out of running Castrum Abania. You just won't get any useful loot.

As someone who recently leveled up every single job I can confirm that the extra "Bonus" you get at the end of the dungeon is far, far less than what you will get from doing a similar level dungeon. Especially if you factor in experience boosts which only affect kills (Thus benefits equal level dungeons more than Roulette bonuses)

It was to the point where I'd be getting like 50-60% of a level from say Castrum Abania at level 69, but in a roulette for Sastasha I'd be getting like 5% of a level or some other pathetically negligible amount (Outside of the daily roulette bonus which, unless getting unlucky and getting Bowl of Embers, would give about 70-80% of a level)

As far as specific queueing times go... I never noticed any difference. Including while being DPS.

Especially since you'd just end up getting all the people doing Roulettes being matched with you.

So you admit that Sastasha + Bonus is 70-80% of a level, but Specific Abania is only 50-60% per level?

That was the entire point of my post. You get more out of doing the daily roulette bonus than you do specific Qing the highest level dungeon you can.

And the queues are faster because if you Q for Leveling, you get put into a queue with everybody Level 16+. If you Q for Castrum Abania, you can ONLY get Level 69-70 players which automatically removes the <Lv69 players making the pool much smaller.

But if you're a tank, you won't notice this becuase it's near instant no matter what you Q for... healer... I've seen 5 minute waits before now and then. DPS? Specific Qing is 20min, Leveling Roulette is 10-15.

Which I mentioned.

But alas, daily bonus is only once.

Meanwhile...

In my experience, I have not noticed any difference between specific queueing and roulette queue times.

This is even as a DPS queuing for Castrum Abania.

There was no difference in my queue times for Roulettes vs specific queues. It was always 15-20 minutes.

This is because, while yes, you get a larger pool of players to group with for Roulettes, because it can be anyone from level 16 to your current level, this also means that you're competing with more people for spots in a party.

This is the same thing as why the Datacentre splits only had very minor effects on queue times despite significantly dropping the playerbase in your queues (With the only major effects being for things like Alliance Raids)
