Quickest way to level Miner?

I have 99 leves. I just... use them all? Would 99 leve's level me from 30 to 50?

I used this idea for my botanist. It should also work for your miner.

Leves are the best option, also you can use the bonus exp paper. You can get it on your grand company vendor.

It took roughly 110 leves to get my alt character's miner from 15 to 50 using mostly evaluation leves and no buffs apart from food. 99 should be plenty for 30-50. but man was that tedious as hell. I always did levels +2 or -1 so that one of the items would be ~88% success with a +15% buff at 9 points a pop. Don't forget your daily GC turn-in, I finished off lv48 by turning in 10 HQ electrum ore as a starred item for a cool 200k xp.

The grand company provisions are really nice for a daily bonus.

Always turn in HQ items for GC provisioning daily, use survival manuals whenever you can, use gathering food, try to stick to evaluation leves if your gear is good enough to always get the bonus. The other leves offer decent exp as well, and of course you can mine things that you know you need/ will need for something else.

Personally I didn't mess with leves until about 30, and at that point it was kind of half regular gathering/ half leves until 40 or 45 when it was almost entirely exp through leves. I was in no big hurry though.

A list of the leves you want is here:

You'll get about double the exp listed for them if you can hit the top mark of 160/320, you have 4/8 nodes of 6 swings each

Items your level give 7 points, level+1 give 8, level+2 or higher give 9

Select your level +1 or +2 for the first 4 levels and go for the easy item, with current gear you should be able to get the top exp 99% of the time without waiting on GP or using potions. The last level where you can't select it higher than your own, you can go down a level and try for the harder item

All you need is gathering and GP gear, you can skip head/belt/feet, and don't need to upgrade accessories very often
