Exp Level & MSQ

[Jeeqbit]

I'm pretty sure it's only ARR that has a gap.

They all do up to Endwalker. I went through the expansions only doing MSQ, all sidequests and 6 FATEs per zone and in every expansion there was almost a level gap except Endwalker and Dawntrail where they changed the system.

It's only ARR. There is no MSQ for Lv47 and Lv48, and it has been this way since ARR Beta. The rest of the expansions have MSQ throughout all levels and it's almost enough to keep two jobs current without doing anything but MSQ.

I can tell you for a fact that even through Endwalker, doing literally nothing but MSQ (and associated duties) on one job will leave you short on exp at a few points.

I've made it a point the last couple expansions to exclusively limit one job to only "required" exp, and every time, there are just a couple spots that necessitate a few FATEs to roll up to next MSQ level.

(this is assuming starting each expansion at previous level cap. Can make no claims for starting from scratch)

Well, our experiences significantly differ then. Doing just MSQ on just one job is not enough in any expansion except EW and DT for me personally and leaves about a level gap - again, even with sidequests + 6 FATEs per area.

Regarding that, they intended for just MSQ (without sidequests) to give you enough in Endwalker, but they miscalculated slightly and admitted this. But I included it as an exception on the basis that SE intended it to be enough.
