I know surplus is bad and all and cuts your sp but I have been leveling near constantly on this game and I can't seem to get past level 4 surplus over the course of any given week. My conjurer went from level 27 to level 37 in one week before the surplus was reset and it didn't get past level 4 surplus. I also started leveling sentinel for the first time when I equipped a shield in an SP party on the first day of the surplus reset for my conjurer last week and it also capped out at level 4 surplus. It went from around 1 to 28 without getting to level 5 surplus. This is with constant SP parties and not changing my job, and I leave my game on around 18 out of 24 hours a day just to make sure my items are repaired.

Did SE remove higher than stage 4 surplus or whats the deal?
