Leveling without leves?

Is there an efficient way to level without using leves? I used all mine on the last 2 50 DoH's I made, and need to continue with CUL. Kinda hard to do when you only have 3 leves to work with at a 12 hour window.

unfortunately other than leves and the initial exp bonus for making a recipe the 1st time there is no real "fast" way

If you can find something that you have the mats for, you can start crafting it all day. It becomes a lot easier to spam craft if you have Botany up to 50.

As an added bonus, if you can sell said items on the AH, you can make some gil in the process.

Toss in a Salt Cod and Helping Hand and it's about as good as you can get.

However, Leves still outshine it by a lot. Like, A LOT.

What I did was level up a DoW/DoM/DoL class for a few days and let the leves build up.

Hmm, you could buy Exp scrolls from your GC and perhaps convince your FC leader to activate the crafting exp action for the day. Then just spam any low material recipe that's a couple of lvls higher for exp. You'll go at it surprisingly fast.
Oh, and don't forget food for an additional 3%

Yeah, don't forget exp scrolls from GC as mentioned by Kyata.

Making items you've never made before will get you the bonus it's basically double the completion bonus.

What I would personally do if I were leveling without leve's is go to the leve counter. Write down which items are needed for leve's for that tier you're in and I'd make those exclusively. That way people who want to speed level using leve's could buy your items. You'll level and make money. Leve items usually sell fast and for decent money. Just don't be greedy.

I personally don't buy 5k-7k leve items. Not worth that to me. 2500-3k...i'll do. Just my opinion.

They increased the amount of xp you can obtain from quick synthesis. You could try to load up on the xp+ scrolls and quick synth base materials. (thread, ingots, etc) It won't net as much xp as crafting stuff with quality increases, but it's something you can just turn on and go do something else.

Or if you haven't already, look at the craftable items and see which one you can produce easily and cost effectively, and macro synthesis. Technically, you only have to look at the screen every so often. I usually watch movies or anime while crafting.

Isn't there a "special" company deliveries to gain a few exp points?

Yeah, Free Company action, 5% or 10% depending on lvl,
food xp bonus.
Grand company xp book.
Grand company supply mission, Click timer, once per day.

And my favorite.
Why don't you level up crafting stuff for gil? or for you own use?

Exactly :)
When I am anticipating to do leves I usually craft the basics materials (ingots, threads etc..) in rather high quantities with grand company xp book.
Doing so I usually don't use much my leves.

Recently I've started doing the same and it has indeed saved me between 4 and 6 whole levels on leves. (That's between 12 and 18 levequests, which is considerable.)
