I have a friend that loves to spam leves. I do not even think she missed a single leve since she started on the sept 24 or so ( i know she did not get on right on the 22nd)



these SS was just taken by her. I told her to host them because I wanted to talk about this subject on a forum.

she would always get the 2 highest levels for each craft like if she was 8 she would do mostly 5's and a few 10's when she got to 10 she would do mostly 10s and 15s. right when she hit 20 she would always get as meny as 25s as she could as for some reason they where easier doing 25s at 20 vs doing 20's at 15.

when she kept getting low level leves she slowy picked up other crafts and kinda got intersted in weaving and alchemy. She just got her first alchemy marks today as that craft is 16, same with weaving she got marks after doing a few weaving leves after update.

keep in mind she always picks up 25s and 20s in gold , black and amor before picking up other leves.

So how in the fuck did she get more marks from crafts she been doing the last few days over a craft she been doing since the start? this blackmsith and armor shit ( stated by SE they "share") is one thing that needs to go. There is no reason a rank 16 (alch) and or rang 14 (weaving) craft should have close to the total of a rank 21 craft. keep in mind she takes a higher prorty in armor over those 2 crafts since the 24th of September!

Battle classes

She started out as conjur then leveled thaurmtugre then gladiator. all 3 classes hit the point of able to get marks from 2s around the same time. She also used pugilist time to time for farming.

right when she could do 20 leves from hitting 13 she would do 8 rank 20s from running city to city, she would skip a leve in one of the first 2 cities if a reward seemed low like around 7k gil or less.

She ranked up so much thaumaturage marks she started to stop doing those marks all togher ( little over a month ago) ( also spent 6k on a trait to give vit from pei)

after a while she stoped doing leves of all marks ( like a week after she stopped olny thau) except gladiator because she was very low for those marks.
when she did that she was lacking battle leves to do so she picked up mining to be a filler. Mining ended up being the fastest class she leveled, being one of the newer classes she tooked up and now tied with her highest classes.

Anther problem that lead to low glad marks was the rewards. a lot of time glad marks would be 500-800, rarely over 1k that would only get boosted to around 1.4k at the most, thau on the other hand would be 1k+ where she could boost it as high as 2.4k.

When you consider how long she started to mine, relative to the crafting or battle classes, she has not been doing mining long. Mining ended up passing all her crafting classes in marks.

1. SE needs to give us a list to pick from, we need to choose what we get for marks in regard for battle leves. like in her example she could not do meny battle leves because it kept giving her makrs she didnt want, at one leve go around she had 6 mining and 2 battle leves. (2 bloodshore, 2 vally, 1 drybone, 1 emerald) She told me that happened more then once and thats how her completed leve list ended up looking.
2. crafting leves needs bigger lists, no more of these give 4 rank 1 leves to a rank 20 crafter .
3. armor and blacksmith needs to brake away from the one 25 leve per city quota. ( or w/e SE ment by that since my friend got at times 2-25 gold leves from one city)

in general there is too much randomness in how guild marks are awarded and VERY UNEVEN, thoughts?
