im unclear about questlevesFollow

Different camps will have different levels of levequests. one camp may have level 10 leves while another will have level 15 ones. you will have to go to another Camp in a higher level area to find the higher level ones. It seems like the experience points you gain from them goes down a lot if you are 5 or more levels higher than the levequest.

I do believe you get 3 allowances every 12 or so hours and they can accumulate up to at least 30. I was wondering how the system worked, but didn't realize it until this weekend. I'm not sure what the cap is on allowances yet though.

6 a day will not be enough, i fear 12 enough wont be either but i wont stress

I have yet to try any Craft levequests. if that is the case I may have to save them specifically for crafting/gathering.

The lev quests aren't meant to be the main way to level up a class/job. They are there for when you run out of normal quests to do and are bored from grinding the dungeons. For crafting and gathering, they probably will be the main way you level up. 6 may not be a lot, but when you miss a couple days, those 6 turns into 18. The exp they yield will be far higher than what you would get from just buying materials in the AH and then grinding recipe after recipe. Also, as a reward, you'll receive a small amount of gil and some free material to use in your grind. They actually make lvling crafts much easier. Just make sure and be choosy on which ones you pick. Make sure they are high enough to where it's worth your while and not too low to where you're getting half the exp that you could be getting from doing a harder one.

You really shouldn't be doing any leves in your primary class until you're pushing level 20, and even then you probably have other content available to you. I'd consider saving them for crafting leves, as the rewards for turning in HQ items are quite good comparatively. 200% xp bonus for that. I mean if you're poopsocking from minute 1 of open beta, you might be able to burn through those, but why? You'll have so many FATEs and quests to burn through. I'd personally browse through the leve list and unless you see a really good upgrade in a weak slot, I wouldn't waste the leve and save it for something else. Also keep in mind, you should have the break between Open beta and Early Start/Release to accumulate additional leves. Depending on how that works out, you could end up with quite a few leve allowances.

I unfortunately was busy last weekend and missed out on all the beta fun. However, from my previous experience with crafting (up to 20).

You have a few options for exp, and for leve quests, the big thing is to find the repeat leves. I believe you start running into them around 10 (so pretty much right away), and you make sure you craft enough to turn in multiple ones. They allow you to complete the leve up to 3 or 4 times before closing off the leve. Giving you a fairly healthy bonus.

Also, watch for cross-country leves (my term for the bouncing), you can get a leve in town that will take you out to the level of your leve that will have the best reward. There is then a leve out there that will give you the best reward back in town. You just go from out of town, back to town and out again. Create as many items as you want to do for the leve.

Other than that, it is crafting, just the idea of it does imply that it is repetitive, therefore "Grindy". There really is no way around this for the most part, and the higher you get the more it will be like this. This is what crafting really is, and believe it or not, there are a lot of people who enjoy this sort of play. Simple, unfocused, and cathartic.

And the higher level you get in a craft, the more grindy it will end up becoming. I can't imagine any way that the could not make it that way without destroying the economy or the functional use of crafting.
