Exploring maps as Crafter

Explore the maps as a class with lower level!

Friends!!!! If your main class is level 50 already, please remember to ride the chocobo (and run errands in towns) with your other class that hasn’t hit the cap yet. I was riding my legacy chocobo using my Pugilist (50) and soon realized I was wasting the free EXP I should have gotten. So I changed class to Armorer (40) and now raking in a lot of experience points.

I am not sure how the EXP gain is calculated, but as a level 40 Armorer, I am getting 1620 EXP whenever I discover a new location, and 16200 EXP for covering the whole area in one map. This is juicy, yummy freebies you shouldn’t miss! It’s a shame I didn’t get on earlier and discover this soon enough (and exclaim about it in-game) to let people know. Corn was going all FFFF#!$%^#@%^#$&! in the linkshell last night when I said my Armorer is eating free EXP along the way while I ride my chocobo, because he has already gone everywhere and opened the map far and wide due to his explorer’s nature. TAT

Anyway, I am now playing on Ragnarok on my old character, with new look! I really love this new color system in character creation. So now my Miqo’te has purple hair instead of blue. I had been wanting it purple since I started playing FFXIV, but had to settle with blue highlight instead because the creation didn’t allow too many colors!

And now I am still riding my chocobo everywhere in Thanalan to explore and get the free EXP, as I cannot continue on main scenario quest now. I am stuck at the level 5 quest (at the Sultantree) because Duty Finder server is having a lot of turbulence now and cannot be connected. (It seems all special instances, even the solo ones, are on the same server with anything using Duty Finder.)

Anyway, see you later! Today I can’t play because my big sister and bro-in-law brought the nieces here for a visit. Gotta go play with the kids, woot~~~~!!! Miss them!
