Ishgard Restoration makes leveling DoH classes a joke.

[Daemic]

Not that I'm complaining - my Weaver went from 45 to 54 in 11 minutes of crafting and turning in Skybuilders' Cloth. I only stopped because I ran out of a material, which, if can't be easily gathered, is absurdly cheap on the market board.

Who needs crafting classes on the Mog Store when you can do it yourself in under an hour?

You could already do that by buying leve items and turning them in. Even without the 'leve kits' people sell, I went from 60 to 80 on multiple crafting classes in a single short sitting. Blasting through levels on DoH classes is not new.

There's also Grand Company turn-ins.

There's also quick synth which can get you multiple levels in a few minutes. Just buy the mats, quick synth them, and then sell the product for profit. Obviously, choose your material carefully.

wasnt this possible with leves?

Wouldn't you run out of leves before maxing everything to 80 in such a short period of time?

Now the thing is that post 5.1, crafters and gatherers get x5 exp more than they previously did...from all but one source. It used to be it took a good week and a half to two weeks to level a crafter from 70-80 using namazu quests, it now only takes like 3-4 days. Leve quests, GC turnins and even just synthesis exp was also greatly buffed - Only GC HQ turnin can get you from lvl 50-54 in a single turnin, if this guy standing next to me in game is any indication.

That would honestly be fine by itself...But ishguard restoration is honestly just silly.
For a low collectibility item, you get the same exp as handing in a HQ item for a leve of the same level - and you also get scripts, and the mats are also easier to come by, generally...So why is Restoration turnins giving the same or double the exp of a leve (depending on collectibility) AND giving you scripts, while also being as easy as it is? I think its a little silly tbh, the fates alteady give 100% of your exp bar, that should be the main draw, not the turnins that can be done so easily...especially when you consider DoL have no alternative, so they're left behind.

I actually leveled my miner from 1-80 in 3 days. The lev's are way much easier than the DOH lev's. Also the fact that you have to use a miner to collect the materials that give really good exp is a big +

The crafts are already a joke with the 5.1

Not any easier than it is since 5.1, really. If anything it forces people to actually craft and work to increase collectability, while for everything else you can just buy ready items on mb, turn them in, and never have to use a skill. A lot of people are now for the first time looking up DoH skill descriptions and getting interested in crafting, and tbh it makes me happy not to be the odd one who cares about crafting.
