Is a level skip worth it?

[Alleluia]

Couldn't the OP level skip and then run deep dungeon to get the "add a skill one at a time" experience?

Eh, PotD doesn't give you enough time to like toy with the mechanics you're getting. Things just die way too quickly. I prefer doing the leveling trials in order.



To the OP, I personally don't think level skipping is worth it. Leveling classes in this game is plenty fast, especially with the new MSQ exp boosts, and SOME of the class/job quests that you skip can give some decent tutorial practice on new skills as you get them. (plus I enjoy most of the stories) The only job I would even consider going "yeah no that's fair" is SMN, 'cause leveling as an arcanist with the carbuncle changes is awful, the game teaches you bad form by not giving you enough tools to figure out how to weave ogcds, the acn story is alright but not great but the SMN story is just a string of justifications for making it a pet class (no problems there), excuses why they can't give us more pets, excuses why we can't summon bahamut, and then backtracking so we can now summon bahamut, and of course you get SCH out of it too. Any other ARR class and I'd say it's easy enough to level it up the normal way, and anything later and you're absolutely wasting your money since they're almost mostly leveled already. And honestly, if I'm considering paying a videogame to not play it, I just quit that videogame.

My thing is, is it really a waste if they already leveled to max but don't really want to level again? This isn't the most fun experience starting over in XIV if I'm honest. The lower dungeons are a drag, all of my fav dungeons are after the 60 range. Most of the jobs feel better from that point on too. On your first character/job I'd agree in not buying a skip but anything after that? Why not? Here's the rub to that though. As long as you're willing to PRACTICE and PRACTICE and ... PRACTICE that job so you don't look like a moto bug then what's the harm?

no it bloody isn't, you can level up easily enough in this game, paying £13 for something that can be done in a few days is just ridiculous, maybe if it was £5 i might understand but that price tag is way too high.

Honestly, the only reason not to do it are the Class Quests for the Job. If those don't matter to you, I see no issues.
