So dumb question, but what's the best way to level gatherers past lv 50, specifically 56+? I got my miner to 56 and I'm doing collectibles, which is slow and painful but at least I'm getting blue scrips out of it. But is there any other way? I don't have any more GC seals so I can't buy those exp boosts

Do your leves, they're great. You'll also spend your manuals from the job quests well on them.

If you've got the money, GC provisioning missions are still great XP at +50 levels if not more so. Just make a habit of checking every day whether or not one of the required items is starred meaning double XP (and seals) rewards. Edit: i.e. Just buy provisions straight outta marketboard.

Yeah if you're already doing collectibles do the leves. Only do the single ones though, the big ones give less experience than doing the same allowance number of smaller leves if I'm remembering. The post 50 stretch is still frustrating to level through for gathering, especially for Fishing, which felt like its own new circle of Hell.

Thanks for the tips! Yeah, it felt like leves were giving much but I was doing a mix of single and large ones, so I'll keep doing singles only. I've been doing GC turn ins, sorry I should have mentioned. Oh god I have fishing after this and I am really really not looking forward to it

Fishing is far easier, due to just being able to buy the leve items.

For fishing, you just need a Netflix subscription, a second monitor, and a controller with vibration enabled. I watched the entire run of Silicon Valley going from Fishing level 1-60 and barely had to look at my FFXIV strewn.

a controller with vibration becomes mandatory for using patience and hooksets because you can either look for the subtle difference in tug and sound or whatever, or you can feel the controller vibrate once or twice and know what to use from that

But then you look at the dps done as a warrior or drk and you're like 1k ahead of most of the dps and then you want to cry and then you wonder why you even queued tank in the first place....

I've had runs of dun scaith where on every single boss the main tank died and I ended up tanking as DPS because neither of the other two tanks realized that they should probably provoke. I don't get why people are so hesitant to main tank. It's hella boring, but it's what you signed up for when you queued as tank.

Main tanking is like, way less work than off tanking. There are so few 24-man bosses with gimmicks the MT has to pay attention to once you position them (and half the time not even that since they all seem to have charge/movement gimmicks now). Off tanks aren't exactly burdened with overwhelming responsibility either, but even just "pick up an add halfway through the fight and turn it so it doesn't cleave everyone" is more work than what MT has to do most of the time.

i'll mt like whatever but every time i do there's invariably some pld with a complex who huffs and puffs because even though he didn't want to maintank he's so filled with rage that an actual cool fun class is tanking the boss that he tries to pull it off of me anyway also pld/drk get better dps while MT (well, drk definitely does, not really sure how shield swipe figures into pld mt dps) so i'll default to letting one of them mt

You could probably hit 60 in a few hours from 56 by doing nothing but collectibles, since it's a far better source of exp for gatherers than anything else.

In this case the most common "something wrong" is "does not have 600gp through gear/food" It makes such a huge difference in collectible gathering.

I have to queue for tank for the 24man poo poo at this point in the expansion, or I will fall asleep. Getting hit in the face makes me feel *alive*.

I can't quite wrap my head around this. I'd expect the WAR to be higher due to Unchained pull into Deliverance for the rest of the fight, and then their DPS combo is also their threat combo. Unless PLD or DRK have overall higher dps in general (could be, I don't know) I can't see how they'd have a dps advantage in a MT role.
