- Fate give pitiful amount of EXP without the amoury bonus, which you won't have on your first class.
- The MSQ give enough EXP to get your job to 80 without ever doing a single FATE.

All of this combine means if you're trying to do FATE on your first class ... you are playing it ... the way it's not meant to be. I avoided saying you're playing it's wrong since it your game, play however you like. But do note the fact you would be playing against the design, so inconvenience should not come as a surprise.
This is absolutely false.
You can buy a riding map after getting to rank 2 on fates. The only time you need this map to increase your ground mount speed is when you can't fly. So it is clearly intended for first MSQ runners.
