Fates Leveling Guide

=== Kinori Gareth Blog Entry FATES Leveling Guide - Level 1 - 55+ ===

→ 1-10: Hunting Log + Class quests

Not too much here, generally much faster to go along with the Hunting log, rather than waiting for FATEs to pop - though mixing them in certainly makes it faster.

→ 10-20: Western La Noscea - Aleport

Sticking around Alepoort, and east to the ones by Swiftperch

→ 20-28: South Shroud - Quarrymill

Any FATEs in the northern part of the zone, by Quarrymill and west by Buscarron's Druthers.

→ 28-34: Eastern La Noscea - Costa del Sol

Stick mainly to the east side of the map, as it's where the majority of parties stay.

→ 34-40: Coerthas Central Highlands - Camp Dragonhead

More or less just follow your party around; you'll mainly stick around Dragonhead, going to whatever pops first, and Svara's or Eyes above any other FATE.

→ 40-52: Northern Thanalan - Ceruleum Processing Plant

You'll be simply going for every FATE in the zone. Please note that Dark Devices no longer gives crazy amounts of xp for farming it, but that, and Go, Go, Gorgimera above any other. I'd personally stick around here for a couple extra levels, with how reliable this zone's been, but as the new FATEs start to gain popularity, this may change. For reference, Churning Mists give 4k, and 7k more per fate at 50 and 51, respectively.

With the addition of Anima crystal farming in 3.2, FATE parties are now spread out fairly evenly between each of the Heavensward zones. I now personally look for the largest party looking in the Heavensward zones, as long as I'm high enough for said zone, to decide which zone I go to.

A big note: I would honestly say, at least for newer players, don't bother with these until you have unlocked flying for the zone, as you'll have trouble reaching a lot of them in time, if at all.

→ 52+: Coerthas Western Highlands, The Churning Mists

Coerthas doesn't seem to have any big chains to look out for. As for Churning Mists, Darkscale's the big FATE-chain for the zone to look out for, as well as Vedrfolnir Devoteth.

→ 55+: The Dravanian Hinterlands

Metal Gear is the big FATE-chain for the zone, and it spawns on the right half of the map.
