Should I Be Leveling Multiple Classes? (lemmy.world)

Playing through the game for the first time as an arcanist and I’ve reached level 28, though I’ve only hit level 21 on the MSQ.

I’ve constantly being level sync’d and was wondering if it might be better for me to level up another class so I’m not constantly being unable to use my skills.

Yea, it seems like the MSQ gives so much experience. I know that I’ll be doing it for like 100 hours or more so I might as well have a couple of different jobs to play to spice things up here and there.

I’m happy to hear that there really aren’t any downsides to doing it.

The "downside" I had is once or twice my DPS fell behind in levels, usually around the end of an expac. But then I just did some dailies with it and the problem was solved.

If you end up not liking one of your classes or one falls too far behind you can always pick up a class that starts at a higher level and pick dual leveling back up. At 50 there's Dark Knight, Red Mage, and Machinist, at 60 is Gunbreaker and Dancer, then at 70 there's Reaper and Sage

Very true. Let’s hope I’m still playing by then! It’s my first MMO and I’m really enjoying it now though nothing has happened in the story yet.

I really like that the game seems designed against what most newer games do as in, respecting your time. It seems like you don’t have to play the game 24/7 to keep up and I’ve read that the devs encourage people to unsubscribe when they’re done with the content since the game isn’t designed to be the only game someone plays? That’s awesome.

That aspect of ffxiv is one of my favorite things about it - there's almost no fomo / season pass shenanigans (outside of pvp). I've been playing since the 2.X days and the way everything is designed around playing at your own pace has really made it easy to enjoy over the years.
