You could without question. An 8-leve tour is easily 100-140k per reset and takes no more then 2 hours max. Feel free to do the math.

The only thing stopping you is the leve reset timer and fatigue, which wouldnt even factor in that heavily if you just leve/log/leve/repeat. Aside from the fact that you could rotate jobs/skip sessions for it to wear off completely if you preferred without increasing time played.

[Lordender]

Yeah, you could level that quick if you have the perfect conditions, I don't dispute that. I find it boring seeing the same leve's over again and over again, We need other effective ways of leveling that involve seeing the world.

[Kensaki]

I'd like too see you get 140k from 2 hour leve sessions each reset no fail the whole way to 50 untouched by fatigue then your math works. But in reality theres ton of factors that make it impossible to do in reality.

I'm not sure how it could be 'funner'. You're killing shit, its either fun or it isn't and that's a matter of preference.

You're playing a game where the main form of leveling consists of redoing the same 8 leves every reset, which means: killing the same mobs every day, which are in the same exact spots, with the same objectives on your leves. Partaking in this system also requires you to forfeit any kind of extra rewards such as gil, items or marks.

I think it'd be harder to figure out how to make the system more boring rather than figuring out how to make it more fun.

If you have 8 people, each with a set of good leves (dunes, RR, ACU, GHT etc), without factoring in doubles and using GA wisely (on dunes or RR only, surplus on ACU or extras) I'd say it was easy to get 100k+ each reset. Add in max fatigue (which is what... 30%?) and at the very least with that set up you'll make 70k-100k.

The most SP you'll ever need is 100k, you'll be getting at least 1 rank per reset.

The only thing I disagree with is the time taken. Usually takes a bit longer than 2 hours.

[Foxer]

Wait, you can hit level cap in 3 weeks now? Was around 5 weeks when I played it....... for 3 weeks. Wait.

[Lordender]

Assuming you get lucky on leve link parties and have all the popular leve's avaliable you can hit 50 pretty damn fast.

[Foxer]

Spiffy indeed. How's the end-game now?

[Lordender]

Yeah, about the end game..... lol is all that can be said for now.

[Dein]

Non-existent still. They're hopefully adding a rank 30 and rank 50 dungeon in 1.18 with more to come soon. Till then though you're just stuck grinding a new job when you cap one.

[Foxer]

Oh. : (

[Lordender]

We discussed this with Matsui to see what he thought about the idea. He thinks that random/roaming bosses and such are definitely necessary, and he himself would like it, as well! After we finish up the vast amounts of battle-related tasks, we would like to implement these as soon as possible.

hmmm indeed.

That sounds like Ixion and Sandworm style HNM to me D:

In before scanning for hours. Hey, there's nothing else better to do yet right?

[Corrderio]

Now let's just hope to god they don't repeat a Fafnir scenario again.

Also, something about new types of weapons:

Checked in with the King of Battle himself, Matsui. He said that once the future battle-related edits take place, he believes there will be a need for specialized weapons, so at that time he will be looking into it while he discusses ideas again.

I don't even understand what that means lol. Weapon types like slashing vs blunt?

[Gokulo]

Or for more specific purposes? Like enhancing certain skill or something. Gear swapping inc!

Origin of the thread was about Multihits, but I doubt that's what they're getting at.

[Tomino]

It could also refers to the fact if they keep the 1 class / 1 job combo, there's no way they can fit that many jobs without, ie, splitting "swords" into more specific types like gladius, rapiers, longswords and so on. Same with staves and rods, probably.
