Your favorite method of leveling subclasses?

I'm not asking for "the best," or "the fastest," I'm asking the community what's your most ENJOYABLE way of leveling subclasses?

The methods of leveling I've found are:
- levequests (mostly regular, and GC ones if lucky)
- FATE grinding
- dungeons (and now dungeon roulette)
- Hunting log(s)

So far I've been doing levequests (throw in the other 2 occasionally), and found it can be tedious doing the same 4 quests in 1 zone over and over again, so how are some ways you guys mix it up to make it more interesting? Maybe doing the leve's in a different zone, etc.

Oh yes, if regular quests are there that I haven't done yet, I tend to do those, too.

*edit* I forgot to mention hunting logs as Mykil has mentioned. Thanks!

I personally prefer dungeons, which is what I did even before the exp boost from 2.1. Levequests are alright too, but I just find FATE grinding a little dull myself.

I prefer dungeons. It helps me learn my class in a group environment as I level up and learn new skills and how to best use them.

I have always prefered Dungeons in this game for leveling, although with the time limits in place it is hard to find socializing time in them. IF they introduce an in game voice chat option for dungeons that would be awesome. One that would work for pc and ps3 :p

FATEs only.

Ummm none? Honestly leveling is painfully boring and tedious and I just can't stand it. Have monk and sch to 50 and struggling to get whm. Dungeons I've run 100000 times is the least boring I guess.

Chasing Fate red dots on a map like a herd of cats chasing a laser pointer while trying to spam any aoe or insta-cast ability available makes me want to stab myself and everyone around me in the eye. Since release, dungeon grinds. Now, I mix it up with the roulette and dailies as well. If they ever let me kill with my chocobo out while waiting for DF then I would add senseless killing in the wild to level up my chocobo as well. Also, hunting logs.

Hunting Logs and Dungeons. lolfates are horribly boring and teach you absolutely nothing about your class (you can always tell who fated their jobs up in endgame), with the new duty roulette it makes leveling in dungeons faster. Plus if you have buds from your fc to run dungeons with for 0 wait time, they can actually be faster xp than lolfates anyway since the dungeon xp increase of 2.1

I've generally preferred dungeons, seemingly similar to most posters in this thread. Helps teaching me how to play a new class, especially the melee ones which usually have difficulties utilizing their positional moves when soloing. The loot doesn't hurt, either. :p

Standard quests and Hunting Logs.

I've never cared for dungeons/raids, and fates would be decent if they didn't feel so 'samey' (and typically necessitate chasing them as they pop over and over again)

I prefer dungeons. I would much rather go with friends, but that doesn't work out very often. When I am queuing for a dungeon that takes a while to get into on, I'll do FATEs and hunting logs, but I find dungeons are an easier place for me to experiment with abilities and rotations (currently working on MNK). If I'm also busy with other things around my house or projects, I'll just do FATEs, because I can just walk away from those.


I am very much enjoying Roulette. Sadly though, when I use roulette low level I only ever get the first 3 dungeons. I hope some day, it might give me Ifrit or something different. I got Haukke *once*. I use my low level Roulette on my MNK when I'm capped on myth for the week. The exp boost is so nice.

oh, in ARR?

No idea....

Helping out members of my FC on their subclasses. XD. Hunting logs and just grinding mobs in general works pretty well in a party. Or running dungeons with newer FC members. It's even better now with the increased dungeon XP.

As of now, Dungeons are the way to go. Once you reach 43, use the dailies for a slight boost. Leves are best spent on Gathering and Crafting.

Since Duty Roulette is only once a day I try to level my sub a level per day. I never thought I would miss fate grinding but getting from 45 to 50 in 5-6 hours was a min/max's dream. Boring as hell, yes, but effective nonetheless

First, dungeons.
Between them, quests.
When no quest, Hunting Log.

After enduring about 10 lvls earned through endgame FATEs, I became so disgusted with them (which I already knew where badly done) that I never ever touched one, except when compulsory for events or when happening while I was passing by. Even then, just the minimum to get credit and bye bye, most of the time.

Mix it up.

Some quests, some FATE content, some Leve's. Mob farming toward the end of a level or if I just want to spirit bond and multi task.

I conserve leves for leveling crafting classes, where if I have a sufficient amount of them (>80) I can get one from lv1 to lv50 within a couple of days (though usually burning >200k gil in the process).

For combat subclasses I run the occasional dungeon and roulette, else I find somewhere I can grind without worrying so much about competition, while being able to farm mats that I either need for crafting or can sell for a reasonable amount of gil on the market board.

I don't really find chain-dungeon fast/fun.. So it's FATE all day for me !
Gets a bit boring after a while, not gonna lie, but the EXP can be so huge you put some good music and forget about it :o
