I don't want to waste another 5 years to get all my jobs to lv99 again. I quit FFXI after SE released the update informations LMAO...I'm glad that I quit...very hard for first few days but now I'm good without it lol...sorry, kinda off topic :)
I actually think that this is SE's way to combat AF burns, from 74-75 the exp per hour is roughly the same in either over a given time. SE has already said its gunna make new exp camps, which will obviously make exp/hr higher considering the substantial amount of exp per level, post ~lvl80 AF burns will be less beneficial that actual parties.
Back on topic tho: I <3 my RDM now that i got morri robe and I dont mind playing the job at events, but i <3 my BLM more for its (sea)NM duo-ability at a relatively quick rate (compared to RDM solo). So BLM will prolly be my 1st to hit 99, but my RDM will get more exp thru merripo.
And although my COR is lvl 1 I would love to see blinkQD solo at 99!!
So to 99: BLM then RDM then MNK then grind COR 1-99 lol
NEVER to 99: BRD WHM
*** linkshell needs, you pay for your game, so have fun with it, dont just level something cos someone 1000s of miles away tells you to without offering to pay your fees!

Well, if SE wanted to combat astral burns, they'd ban them outright. Also, if any exp camp gave us the xp/hr of astral burns, players would lack the skill ups as bad as AB'd jobs; it's not just level sync that gimps skill, it's the lack of time to use it before next level.

SE is rightly not that willing to ban on sight. For every user they ban, they lose 13 dollars a month. A whole party of ABers banned is -$78 dollars a month, x25 servers is -$1950. And that's just one party per server.

DRG and maybe SAM. BLM is a distant 3rd...was hard as hell to get it to 75. Off topic, VEG and Poupee's avatars are too funny!

I'll probably drop RDM. WHM is going to the top. Aside from that it's tough. I play BLM a reasonable amount but I prefer SCH. SMN is awesome when useful but isn't v useful for me right now. COR is a lot of fun, which is a major plus and BRD I still enjoy.
I can see me getting WHM, BRD, COR, BLM, SCH to 80 but not sure much higher for more than 1-2 jobs

BRD will be the new 75 level sync job when cap raises. No one is going to want to level it but they'll continue to merit with it.

If the amount of exp needed to level is starting from 44k and incrementing to 99, then finally I have a good reason to quit.
If they decided to make a fast way to 99, then most likely I'm taking PLD RDM BLU ^^

Monk is 70, it's quite boring and I'm very slow at leveling. I imagine in 2 weeks if not more it will be 75, and I'm not looking forward to getting gear like Haidate, Black Belt, meriting, and now leveling it 29 more times.

It's sad people keep having the same mentality of "ZOMG I DON'T WANT TO LVL ANOTHER JOB EVER AGAIN!" when they know if SE released a brand new job, they'd be on the bandwagon of leveling it. Here's some interesting stats:
It was already determined earlier in the thread that if the 2k xp rise per level stayed, 75-99 would come out to a total of 1,700,000 experience.
The amount of experience points it takes to get from 1-75 is 845,350 xp.
The merit points for just the job based groups (Not the universal skill groups, stats, HP/MP etc.) assuming you max out 2 of each group (5/5 2 specific trait/ability) would be 740,000 xp. (This is the absolute maximum possible spent on merits for Job Specific merits however very few jobs will actually go this high. Most are much lower.)
1,585,350 xp for leveling and meriting 1 job, not including any additional skill levels, HP/MP, etc.
As you can see, the amount between the assumed new xp needed to reach cap and what you've already capped isn't that large at all. Essentially what SE is doing is giving us 20 revamped jobs instead of 2-3 brand new jobs.

Well, I have 5 75's
Retired WHM, Dread being forced BLM in all End Game. Love THF hate that no one invites them anymore. SAM Cheer!!! And I love duoing Bst with my hubby.
So.. this is what it comes down too.
I do plan on taking all of these jobs to 99
WHM easier invites.. But not great.
BLM FUC|< ME SOLOING! I got BLM to 74 pre COP. I don't know howto solo blm. And to make them solo vs fixing the damn system is stupid!! SE..
THF please invite me. I was ones a really well geared thf... not anymore however.
SAM well likely be the easiest of all my jobs.
BST as long as they make camps that will let my hubby and I level with charm vs jugs. CHEER!!!! This will be the biggest questions... If all the new camps don't of charmable pets BST on of my favorit jobs will die a lot in upcomming patches. My hubby and I met playing FFXI. And we level bst from level 12-75 about 6 month into dating. It's the one job we get to do just the 2 of us. So I really hope SE gives some nice camps. IE unlock WoTG only zones in the present, that would give enough map space for lots of new camps.

Ironically, I'm afraid of taking RDM up to 99. I really like going RDM/BST in sky and having myself a good time. But, RDM at 99 would probably be one of the best jobs for me to take up.
I really doubt I'll be leveling my WHM or BRD past 75 unless I absolutely must have to. And as for THF, I'll take it up to 99, but I'll probably do it in campaigns because my gear is so embarrassing, that I can't be caught in an xp party with it on. ; ;
I'm really looking forward to taking up SMN, BLM and BST to 99 though. I think I might do BST first because of its amazing sub job abilities.

THF, BLU, DNC, and maybe COR. There is no way I can decide just one.

Phoenix.Jile said: Gilgamesh.Funsam said: since release of campaign battle, your not forced to carby solo anymore & with new medal released lately, its possible to get 5.7k/hr which beats any carby solo.
I don't know about you, but with some of the lovely updates SE has added, my xp/hr as smn in campaign dropped to nearly as bad as my WHM in campaign lol. I'll just hope for good snoll camps in the new areas.
Just need to know how to max xp use carby spam healing ruby2 around the boss nm cus thats where people get dmg'd more. also melee yourself on the lesser ones. that way u get dmg xp/healing xp & melee xp

I think this is optimistic, if you look at the level/exp chart here:
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Experience_Points
You can see that every 10 lvls or so the exp required jumps, first 250, then 200, then 100, then 1200, then 1500, and so on till 2000 for 70-76, so... after 80, 81-90 will most likely be 2500, then maybe 3000 from 91-99! And thats being realistic, SE can always decide to up the exp required as much as they want, just to make it harder on us.. seeing as how they probably wont ever up the cap again after 99.
As for me, I'll lvl all my jobs to 99 eventually, or switch to FFXIV, whichever comes first. Probably FFXIV..

Or even set on retiring? While it's true that we have no idea how easy or hard it will be to go from 75 to 99, or what new abilities they gain that high (besides subjob's abilities), it's not unreasonable to assume any one job will break out of its current niche, whether it be in the DD pecking order, unique support role, or what have you.
So, any job you're hesitating to grind? For me it is SMN. I know with Astral Burns that may be the quickest job to level to 99, but as I've been trying to cap summoning skill for over a year, I can't see myself committing to skilling that up to a decent level. And unless they make radical changes to SMN, it still won't be highly prized, especially after losing its monopoly on Hastega. I could spend a few days burning SMN to 99, but without a need for it, I'm thinking of retiring it at 75.
How about you?
