The only flaw FoV has, is the limit of 1 training regime every vanadiel day, otherwise it could be "Decent" 3-4k exp per hour soloing.

I agree.
2 FoVs a Vana'Diel day would probably be ideal! Any more than that might be a bit too much...
If you pull the trick to do 3 pages in about 1 RL hour, the exp rate is fine.
In addition to my earlier post about some quick exp in 30-45 min spurts. Its also rather rewarding for skilling up or breaking latents. I've found it a lot easier to ask "lets go break XXX weapon and spam FoV while there" and gotten a lot more positive results then methods in the past. Signet making DC or lower mobs easier to handle solo also greatly helps.
FoVer's in Ro'Maeve beware!
As of last hour (on this server anyway) Killing and Ominous weapons started linking like crazy. Called a GM about it and apparently it's something seriously broken as he rushed off to tell a supervisor.
Sorry, don't know how to spoiler things for possible table-breaking pictures :S

Am I whooshing? Killing Weapons and Ominous Weapons have always linked. ALWAYS.
Yeah, they have.
Anyway, FoV is great. At higher levels, it is especially nice when you want to get easy extra EXP/LP while doing things like getting WS points or getting your NPC some EXP.
As for lower levels, I took my MNK from 20 to 54 almost entirely on FoV soloing. DNC sub + the occasional Regen or Protect support makes a decent chunk of EXP, to the tune of about 3k per level at the speed which I could kill things. Formed normal EXP parties whenever I needed to skill my weapons for new weaponskills. Took it to 54 til Birdbanes and have been rocking a few MMM Bird mazes and Aht Urghan colibris since then.
I still do some FoV on it occasionally mostly because people think MNK sucks because it doesn't normally have piercing options. =(
EDIT: Forgot to mention, it's pretty damn good for leveling Guard too.
My biggest gripe is the 1/day restrict.
If you translate Priran's image into American English you'll see that this post was a necro from '09 for no other reason than to warn us about linking Wep mobs.
With some timing you can get 3 fovs in 1 hour. I usually hit terrigan right before logging out and pick up and fov. When I log back in the next day, I do the fov, grab another immediately afterward (since it's a different vanaday than when I got the one the previous night), and by the time those 2 are finished, the day has either changed or is just about to. It's a great way to grab a fast 5k or so xp for very little effort.
Also, you can definately level any sub to 37 with fov. I usually did west saru to 12~13, then moved to grabbing birds in canyon til that ran out, and moved to buburu til 24 or so, then qufim til 37+. It isn't as fast as good party xp, but you'd have to TRY to die most of the time, and it's still faster than a lot of PTs I've encountered.
