Levelling secondary class with no more quests?

I'm super new to this game, played a few hours of 1.0, played a few hours of ARR, decided to give it another shot because reasons.

Got to 30 on my arcanist but I did pretty much every quest i could find, now my Tharma has no quest to do, i've been grinding fates now but is that the only way?

Also doing some dungeon runs. I'm 13 now, need to get to 15 for Summoner i think.

I googled and people asked this question but the answers were from a year ago, i'm hoping something changed.

FATEs and leves in between maybe dungeons.
Hasn't really changed much, aside from various leves getting tweaked to be more worthwhile.

^ Do guildhests, hunting log, and challenge logs too

1. Hunting log. Separate for every class.
2. Guildhests. Every class gets first completion bonus.
3. Leves.
4. Fates.
5. Challenge log.

These are pretty much it for reaching level 15 (if you're out of side-quests). To continue leveling after 15, dungeons will be your best XP source. (These others remain useful secondary sources, though.)

the amount of exp you can get over time hugely varies on the speed of dungeons entries you get which makes it best to worst (considering damage output and waittimes and stuff):

tanks: dungeons > fates > leves > hests > huntlog > challenge log
heals: dungeons > leves > fates > hests > huntlog > challenge log
dps: fates > leves > dungeons > huntlog > challenge log

so yeah, if you level a dps dont rely on the dungeon entry, you probably have gained another level with FATEs until you actually get a entry on low lvls <.< Not that it gets any better until 44 when you can dzemael 1st room farm.
Personally i have leveld all my classes (except pld -> quests, and whm dungeons) with FATEs. Hell i leveld all classes (except ninja obviously) to 50 with FATEs before roulettes were introduced, i didnt have the luxury of daily bonus exp from dungeons ^^ and hests only gave bonus exp once too ><

Yes it was a grindfest, but hey, endgame isnt that much different ^^"

Once you get working on your Summoner, make sure you leave ALL regular quests alone. Just stick to the main scenario quest chains. That way when you decide to level up another class you'll have some quests to help out.

Well, before Roulette was introduced, FATEs were the fastest way to level (and way overused as a result). But then with the addition of Roulette and along with it some major boosts to in-dungeon mob-kill XP, dungeons surpassed FATEs for leveling speed.

So, even for DPS jobs, you want to run dungeons as much as possible if your aim is leveling up. The fastest leveling is probably to stay either in a dungeon or queued for one continuously, while doing FATEs and/or leves whenever you're waiting in queue. (If you choose the region to FATE in based on where most of your hunting log targets are, you can probably knock those out along the way.)

A few things that could help is always going to the inn to rest/go to a sanctuary whenever you log off, to get a resting bonus. Another thing is eating something to get a "Well Fed" boost, which adds 3% EXP for 30 minutes. So if you have the Armory bonus from your main class (you get a 50% EXP bonus for any class below your highest one), the resting bonus, Well Fed, and the advice already given on the this thread, you'll level up really fast.

Fates still are the fastest way if you got a group going that's doing them. Especially from 34 on when you can dive into coerthas. That svara chain plus those quick dropping boss fates in the late afternoon/evening is faster then any dungeon where you'll probably have to deal with undergeared people. Especially cutters and vigil can be a 40-50 minute pain - if i keep fateing i'll have 1 level easily done by then :x and if you do Brayflox if you're over 36 the exp will be minimal compared to what you can get outside :/

Alright, thanks for the help.

I have been leaving the regular quests alone after 25-ish i think.

Saving up my leves allowance too, not sure why...

The maximum leve amount you can have is 100, so use some if you get there, or they will go to waste :)

My assumption was that OP wanted to level thaumaturge from lvl 13 to 15 to unlock their job, therefore I skipped dungeons.

If you are just trying to get classes to 15 for job reasons, than hunting log/FATES are your best solution. Beyond that, dungeons are great for exp especially if you have rested bonus as well as it not being your highest-leveled class so you get +100% exp, and with food goes up another 3% plus some extra stats. For Dps best to do FATES while waiting on dungeon ques, tanks and healers usually get in quick enough.

I've basically taken myself from level 30 - 44 on Fates and leves cos Imma dungeon chicken (and a friend warned me not to eat up all the quests with one class) >.> Getting a little sick of running around the Highlands like a headless chicken though and have dived into the dungeons. Daily roulette is awesome for EXP, but kinda poop when it keeps landing you in Satasha or Copperbell Mines lol

The daily roulette bonus exp value changes with the dungeon you get. In the end you'll roughly end up with the same amount of exp according to your level. (as 45 you get 60k bonus for a full dzemael run, for sastasha you get 130k bonus - at least that should be the numbers, the only class i leveld with roulette was nin x.x)

About the not use up all quests on one class... Level your first class with all quests you need - with every other class you level after that you get +50% bonus from FATEs. I.e. if you level with fates on the first and use quests on the second you are practically slowing yourself down :x

When Ninja first came out i pretty much just leveled mostly doing fates and leves. Queue times were absurd
Also may not seem like much but exp food and FC buff help as well
