Leveling quest hubs after 46?

46+ Try North Thanalan

Also, exploring the entire world gives you roughly 2-500k exp depending on how well you time it. I leveled from 42-44 1/2 just exploring then to 46 by finish my hunting log. I'm SoL now though I guess it's time to grind dungeons.

If you return to the waking sands between 46-50, the NPCs in the side rooms give you quests that return you to place you've already been...with brand new quests involving the local beastman areas.

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. Now I hopefully won't have to suffer 2.5 levels of fate/dungeon grinding.

/sigh

So now I'm 48.5 and no quests left to do.
All appropriate Hunt logs complete, all story and job quests done till further leveling is done, and no extra quests at the Waking Sands.

SE really needs to work on their leveling progression as FATE farming should NEVER EVER be a required part of the process.
I wouldn't mind doing Dungeon farming if there was an increase in the exp gained from them but as they are at the moment is just a once through thing.

I grinded Fates from 46 till I dinged 49. Immediately went to do the story chain + a lot of quests opened up which enabled me to ding 50 without doing a single fate. So basically 46-49 grind fates (or dungeons or idk...).

[Meebo]

yeah, gonna have to do some dungeons for half a level but still not right that there isn't enough quests to get you through to 49 or extremely close to it.

I found starting around level 38 that I was usually a half level from progressing in the main story even after doing all the quests for the areas between the main story quests. I also found it really annoying that a lot of the side quests are gated by main story quests. I can understand some of the side quests being locked but it's like that from 1-50. Grinding FATEs and dungeons isn't very fun or interesting on your first playthrough. The experience gain for levequests needs to be jacked up considerably to help this issue unless they're going to add more sidequest content.

I don't mind grinding on subsequent classes and jobs but I really don't like doing that on the first run through the game.

46 - > 50 really makes no sense. Basically no quests, forced to grind fates for 4 levels.

Yea its really bad form on SE's part, I assume they were rushed to finish the game and neglected the last 4 levels of sidequests, I guess we will see a bunch more in 2.1 by which time it will be too late for many people.

The game actually needs more quests from the level 35 point, I pity new players who are looking to level multiple classes.
