Level means *** to us. If someone found a way to be Rank 50 in three weeks, that might be a little crazy.
You'd be surprised. A crafter dude in my linkshell who's level 42 was doing leves with me last night. We were both gladiators, me at 18 and him at 14. He was doing much more damage, had an insanely higher accuracy rate, and had 75% more hitpoints. All from having twice the STR/VIT/DEX stats as me. We were doing level 20 leves on 4-5 stars and he was basically soloing them as the rest of us died over and over.
This just means he maxxed out and hit his point cap from leveling physical. It isn't an unfair advatage, because crafting isn't exactly as easy as alot of people are making it sound. Crystals/shards/mats are hard to acquire most times.
You could reach your cap as well from either A) Getting more EXP from grinding mobs or B) leveling a gatherer or crafting job.
Gladiators ESPECIALLY shouldn't worry about this, considering they solo very well in this FF.
My Leatherworker is 24 ATM and it was a pain to get there. I'll take any bonus I can.
Another reason crafters get EXP is, in order to get better success rates, we need to cap out the Element of the cystals/shards we use most. The only way we can get those points is by increasing physical level. Other stats like MIND and such are thought to modify success rates as well.
Alot of people prolly saying Crafting is OP by now.
Well keep in mind, after rank 20 crafts become ridiculously tough. Crafters start to urgently require guild marks in order to purchase guild training items. Problem is alot of crafters are setback because the guild marks are not documented on the leve rewards AND the marks are rewarded randomly.
