do leve's. once you get to skull rock you make 1k+ (on average per leve). and at 10 you can go to bloodshore (may be a litttle rough if ur solo) 2.5-4k+ per leve. And if it scales like that, gil is easy to come by for beta crafting and stuff

yeah.. after doing my first round of cedarwood/ cassiopeia guildeves i got roughly 58k gil lol

**Questionable** · 2010-08-01 01:51

For the leves though, how do you get it activated or what level is it based off? The Physical or the Class level? I just remember doing 1 at the closest camp and I couldn't initiate any more afterwards. I already went to almost all the camps listed on the map.

So these leves, they let you do them once a day or something? Or what's the limit? If some of you are pushing easily 50-200k, how long did it take to get that, and playtime required per day?

Thanks again

How to you get the leves after bloodshore?

the most time consuming part is getting rank 20 on one of your classes. The leves are still 48 hours from what i can tell and the only reason why it yeilds so much gil is because each one gives about 5k and also you get items on top of that... which you can sell to people such as yourself that do not know how to get the leves

Are there any really good mobs weak to blunt damage for leveling a 12+ pugilist?

**Aleithilithos** · 2010-08-01 02:19

Kinda amusing, but I can do Cassiopeia Hollows or Cedarwood guildleves if I wanted too, though my Archer's only 14. Guess it's because my Botanist is rank 21. Pretty sure my Archer'd get slaughtered doing those unless I teamed up with people D:

Despite my Botany rank, I can't seem to get any guildleves past Skull Valley for Fieldcraft - Botany. Are there higher ones for mining? Or are DotLs screwed for higher-level guildleves at the moment?

**Lucavi** · 2010-08-01 02:20

If anyone's online and wants to help me with some level 30 leves (actually need the help this time), let me know.

wow.. anyone else getting random performance jumps in LL right now?

Usually I never break 15 fps in town.. sitting here synthing and it jumped to 30 cap all of a sudden! Feels like a whole different game.. Anyone else seeing this? I'm on Jecht btw

The game, however it does it, dedicates a lot more memory/resources to the player when they are doing something Lag-sensitive. I played very laggy, but when I entered combat everything became smooth. I figure they did this to cut down upon bad results due to lag during important events like this.

**Arximiro** · 2010-08-01 04:29

Any of you guys who are Rank 30, can you choose Rank 40 leves once you hit 40? I was hoping that would be the case, haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

Also anyone know what the Pug abilities at 24, 26, 28, and 30 are?

Thanks

**Kurp** · 2010-08-01 05:03

Featherfoot seems really underwhelming as of now. It wears off naturally far more often than I see an evade, at least for me. Who know how many of those evades would have happened regardless if I had the buff up or not. Just eyeballing it, I'm not sure it does anything at all.

Aura Pulse - 24
AoE that only hit ground units despite it's tool tip saying it raises attack power against flying stuff. Slightly confused on that one. Perhaps a translation error or they seriously expect you to wiff a weapon skill against flying monsters so you can hit harder afterwards. I doubt it though since you don't get a buff of any kind.

Discerning Eye - 26
Supposedly it raises your attack power when you take damage, scales with how much you take. It doesn't last long at all so by the time you've been hit maybe 2-3 times it's gone and so is the attack power buff making it useless. I can't see anyone ever using this one.

Seismic Shock II -28
If you've leveled Pugilist I'm sure you know how this works by now.

I wish I could tell you about the lv30 skill but I've gotten 2,5k skill points over the past two days so I'm not even close yet.

My group ended up getting the same glitch. We all suicided and let the mobs reset to 100%, then it worked as intended with one of the roselings turning into an imp.

Nono, I don't, that's what I've been getting from logging on to do leves.

**Arximiro** · 2010-08-01 06:20

30 better be Second Wind II!

**Kurp** · 2010-08-01 06:27

I'm not really sure where they're going with Pugilist after seeing those abilities.
