General levelling

Unlock the challenge log if you haven't already, it's free exp for stuff you do anyway.

PoTD - Palace of the dead when high enough level. Fates and levequests are good too. Make sure you are doing your hunting log as well as any side quests you want to not leave for another class/job later.

As BLM main myself, I haven't been successful soloing any potd floors. I've only successfully solo'd 51-60 on RDM. If you're looking for a POTD buddy, lemme know (discord: ..Maple..#5890). I don't mind running it with people. Once you hit floor 51, you can just spam it over and over and it'll give you great xp up until I thiiiink high lvl 50 or 60.

That's not to say clearing a lot of floors as a BLM is impossible, because it has been done, it's just very difficult since you don't have the defensive options available to you that other classes do. You have to be super careful with your pomanders (items you get from chests) and having lots of potions, etc ready to go, as well as being mindful of how to clear the floors (how to pull enemies to easier locations, watching for roamers, etc).

Sidequests in the area, Levequests, Hunt logs (ARR) and if you do the ARR patch content you will never really have to worry about being under leveled because you will be like 54 by the end of it and be higher level all the way through Heavensward.
