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.
