Where to level?Follow

Hello everyone.

I'm currently a level 18 Asmodian Gladiator. I cannot for the life of me figure out a good place to level. From 17>18 I was doing the coin quest and killing the cyclone spirits, and the quests were "okay" up till about then. But now it seems all the quests give way too little EXP to be worth the time, especially for the mobs you're killing.

Should I just go some where specific and grind to a certain level? I was killing Seaturtles and Frightened Corn earlier which was giving about 5,000 exp a kill, but it's taking a long time. I'm wondering if there are any places out there with good quests that have worthwhile exp rewards that don't take some huge group going through a BC area.

Or should I just grind away some where?

I can't find any info on this anywhere, aside from the ******** guides when you google it, asking you to buy the stupid guide. Any suggestions?

Did you do all of the Black Claw quests? I know when I was that level, I did the quests, plus joined a few groups there for experience points. The experience isn't that bad when you have a good party; that and it is more fun than solo grinding imo.

I would also suggest you take a good look at the quest series page for your zone (Altgard, I presume.) Quite often you will have quests scatterad all over for a given level, so you have to move around a bit to get them all. QS page helps alot there, as you can see ALL the quests available at a glance.

Wiki->Quests->by Series->Asmodae->Altgard will get you there on the dropdown menu, above.

Hey endless I know you from the FFXI forums. Are you on Fregion?

At level 18 I'd recommend you do the Black Claw quests with a group. You might have to do 2-3 runs in there before every quest is completed, but it's worth it both xp and loot wise. Even if you don't have any quests left there it's a much better alternative than pure grinding, if you have a good group.

Hey there everyone. Sorry for the late reply. I ended up actually making a Elyos character and got her up to level 24. My Asmodian is level 20 now. I still wouldn't mind knowing the best places to level and at what levels. Are there any good guides or locations I can go to that explain what to do, where, and when, as far as exp quests and grinding goes?

Thanks for all the help!
