You can go back to the NPC for your exp on any job that's high enough to go into abyssea.

**Shenrien** · 2011-01-27 12:18

Yes exactly. The exp doesn't have to beat Abyssea, but it should at least be at a rate that doesn't make it feel like a waste of time. Currently slowly grinding out 7 FoV kills while resting an age for hp/mp just feels too not worthwhile.

Do you like to... do it yourself

ITT: leeching and skilling up after the fact is slower than grinding traditionally

**Charismatic** · 2011-01-28 16:03

I know some of you silly nerds will never understand this but it's not always all about speed. There's something to be said for enjoying yourself while you play.

Level 30, the minimum which you can enter Abyssea.

keep in mind that the xp you get from ops varies by two factors:

1) XP is reduced the lower your level
2) The reward itself varies by mob difficulty at the time you turn your op in

a bunch of DC@90 mobs won't give much xp from ops at all. To make it worthwhile, you have to do an op that an alliance is xping at. My favorite is the dolls in altepa at flux 8. There's -always- an alliance there, and therefore always max XP return on op.

Doh nvm, opened at the wrong page >.<; Already explained by others.

Legitimate rebuttal to the asinine comment above it and, given that its been said a hundred times already(and that it can be logically deduced by a six year-old), the sarcasm is warranted.

**Staren** · 2011-01-29 14:40

I think its silly to even try to argue that skilling up + leeching takes more time than a normal grind. Barring getting parties like east ronfaure (S) parties (Which even then you'll need to skillup) it took a good month or so's worth of effort to level up a job to 75 from the 40-50 range. I leveled my blue in abyssea from 30-90 in about 8-10 hours basically one of my saturdays. Had my blue magic skill capped, sword capped for 75, and all but 30 of my spells learned in less than a week. If you're taking a month + to skillup a job you're doing it wrong. My little brother capped war's great axe from a lvl 30 war's cap to a lvl 56's wars cap in 2hrs today. Skilling up is not that hard if you dont just go sit and hit on crabs in kuftal and you go from party camp to party camp and skillup off mobs you're supposed to be exping off of for the level your skill is capped for but most people are too lazy to figure this out or do this apparently.

**orson** · 2011-01-29 15:10

It's completely irrelevant anyways.

Old exp was boring and slow and it didn't take a good player to get party exp. If abyssea exp is boring to you just stay out of abyssea and exp regularly. Oh wait, you can't form a party because no one wants to exp like that, surprise surprise. Just because a small group of idiots can't exp the way they want to doesn't mean exp should be nerfed for the 99% of people who like leveling quickly.

SE is responding correctly. Skill ups are too slow. Exp before 30 is too slow. They are fixing the problems instead of regressing the game.

Agreed fully with Kuroikage.

Stop the fucking presses, someone wants to actually play FFXI.

There is a difference between wanting to play FFXI and full-blown Stockholm's.

**Charismatic** · 2011-01-30 21:48

And where are you getting anything about Stockholm's Syndrome from? You realize that we're happy that they're buffing the EXP, right? (aka not satisfied with the current rate of leveling outside of Abyssea)
I can't tell who is joking and who is truly just stupid.
