    Leveling Roulette - Personal findings

    With the Crystal Paste relic step I figured I would do leveling roulette only as a friend of mine said those give the best bang for the buck crystals per clear.

    But as I was doing it I became more and more aware about what nonsense leveling roulette really is due to it's limited dungeon list.

    I chose to level up Gunbreaker as I was doing this, so I started with lvl 60 and ended at lvl72.
    Now, sure this might have screwed me a bit on what dungeons I COULD get, but I wasn't expecting this.

    Here are the most played dungeons doing this process:

    1. The Aery, by far the most common one by miles. It got to the point where I was not expecting anything else than this, or the 2nd one on this list. I do not know if this is where a lot of people are just progressing in the story or what, but by the twelve was this ridiculous.
    2. The Vault, I must have created at least 20 new depressed souls if not more, by running this and seeing a bunch of happy little sprouts running amok.
    3. Sohm Al, no idea why, but this was among the roulettes most chosen.

    And all of these 3 are in the range of lvl53-57, which is ridiculous, its the 3 dungeons back-to back of each other.

    There are SO many dungeons I might have done maybe once or twice at most.

    In fact after reaching lvl70, not a single time did I see a stormblood dungeon. And at that point I had atleast 20dungeons left to do and I was well above the item level as well. What's up with that, people just not doing Stormblood anymore?

    ARR leveling dungeons were pretty even, there wasn't any that really stood out other than maybe Dzemael Darkhold being somewhat often.

    I would be curious if other people had the same experience in general.
    I definitely feel like they should increase the dungeons for leveling roulette or have like a different dungeon list for it on a monthly rotation, dunno how that would work, but, something.

    During the Crystal Paste step I got more ARR dungeons than anything, I should've kept track but I feel like I got Haukke Manor more than any other dungeon, Darkhold and Aurum Vale were close behind.

    No I didn't really get those in this step. From memory I got Brayflox, Aurum Vale, Gubal Library, Doma Castle, Ihuykatumu and Skydeep Cenote in the Crystal Paste step. I had others in previous steps, but those are the ones I got in this one. It seems my memory is actually really good.

    There are a lot that I didn't get, so my guess is that Duty Support NPCs has changed the game a lot and most people do them with NPCs now.

    I'm guessing at lvl100 the pool is wastly more diverse for sure.

    There are two Stormblood dungeons in my experience that exist in leveling roulette: Bardam's Mettle and Castrum Abania. If any others show up then something is wrong.

    During the Crystal Paste step, I think we got the level 91 dungeon the most. Level 65 dungeon was a close second. Other than that, it was pretty random.

    If you take off all of your gear before queueing you can guarantee a low-ish ARR dungeon in Leveling Roulette. They somehow only changed this for Alliance Roulette.

    That's... Wow ok. It coooould possibly explain why people at lvl100 seem to get Stormblood and higher dungeons more easier. Obviously the saturation of people is also going to be different, but I wonder if there's something weird going on with getting dungeons that are near your itemlevel in leveling roulette.
