I once lvled a job from lv40ish-60ish, over 20 levels in about 4 weeks more or less. The best PT i did back then i think was 36k exp in 3 hours.To be honest, 10k exp per hour is just average rate for some people, And i didn't even have the loxory to get "chain 18-25", just chain 5 none stop. If you know how to form a good PT that is make for the camp and monsters you already decided to exp on, it's very fast exp. And I am not talking about bringing 3 thieves and a dragoon tank to a skeleton camp. . . Also try to discover new exp camps instead of going to pupular ones.
Not trying to flame you, but sometimes your personal experience doesn't make it a fact. I am just trying to explain to you that your assumption is incorrect. I do understand that first lv 75 job takes longest to get though.
(Also 36k exp in 3 hours isn't my average exp rate. I wish that was my average exp rate.What can i say, i sucked.)
Doesn't always have to do with 'knowing' how to form a good party. Plenty of people know that, but frankly there aren't always enough people seeking, or even the right jobs. Not to mention when you get all the right jobs people take forever (getting gear from mules, buying gear, buying items, getting ready in general), then people go afk, you can get to camp and all the camps are taken even after /t parties in the area if there are spots open, parties could have gotten there after you asked and before you arrived, all camps in lots of places could be packed, your party members could just suck, or get pissed because their not getting the xp they wanted.
Let me tell you, that as a paladin, a job that tanks, and 'should' be in high demand even with ninjas being able to tank also, I have had the ******** luck with parties, not once, not twice, but for over two years. For over 2 years I have tried to xp, and parties more often than not, didn't break up because I was a sucky tank (tho I'm not going to lie, I've had parties break up because they said I sucked at tanking), but more often than not, people were just too picky and I ALWAYS happened to be in that type of party. Over 2 years playing this game and I am still level 51 paladin.
