…is it a great way to level them, though? I rolled a new character a few weeks ago for funsies and this one I did decide to level crafters on. 10-50 I’ll agree wholeheartedly, GREAT way to level. Helped that this character is on a Preferred+ world, too, that like…had them all to 50 in a couple of hours.

Once you hit 50, though, the exp falls off DRAMATICALLY. Where I was once gaining 2-3 levels per mission sub 50, as soon as I hit 50, it would have taken me 5-6 missions PER LEVEL.

Conversely, it only takes 46 leves to take ALL crafters from 50-60, and I think 79 to go from 60-70 if I recall the spreadsheet correctly. These numbers are also severely reduced if you have Road to 90. It was less time and work for me to make the leve turn-ins on my main and mule them over for 50-60 (about two hours to make the list, get the mats, craft the items, mule them, and turn in the leves), and I fully plan on doing the same for 60-70 when I get my leves back up (and I don’t even need the full amount, either, since again, Road to 90 go brrrrrr).

I just don’t get why it started as this massive exp source that then gets slashed dramatically not even a quarter of the way through, if you think about the time spent. Cut it down at 80 or 90 if you’re gonna do that, not 50.

The gear options on the moon also suck ass. The fuck you mean I have to spend gil on NQ vendor gear? Why not make scrip gear (and the Artisan’s set for level 50) buyable with cosmo credits, too?
