is it now a fact that grinding a dungeon is faster lvling than fates? considering most dungeons at low level took 45 mins and armory bonus doesnt apply to dungeon completion (only kills made inside the dungeon) also if you have no rank 5 fc you can get their exp bonus and you have rested xp. whereas fates you can do about 5 in 45 minutes armory bonus applies to both mob kills and fate completion then theirs you rested exp.

keeping all that into consideration is dungeon grinding now better than fates even with dungeons getting exp boost?

I haven't really tested any of this on a class to level; however, I think the next time I do go to level, I'll just be queued in the Duty Finder Roullette getting those bonuses while I participate in FATES.

I am really interested in any experiences though.

Dungeons once a day by duty finder, then leves. 1 leve is as much as a normal fate now.

Yep I was getting 7kish a turnin at level 24 per leve. Most can be done in a couple minutes.

I'm really happy they decided to boost leves instead of nerfing FATES.

At this point, I'd say they're close enough that whatever scratches your itch. In the mood for coordinated group play? Dungeon. In the mood for solo play? Leves.

They are fairly equal and just provide options. That's the best part about the change. Now I can sign on and do a few leves, or leve while I wait to dungeon, stop at a Fate, etc. Combine them all so it doesn't feel like a grind.

Also, I've been cheesing the escort Fates. Just /beckon spam the escort, and run to the exit ignoring the monsters. 14k EXP in 45 seconds. Chaaachinggggg.
