which is faster

curious if anyone knows which is currently the faster way to level from 1-50

doing the main story or spamming palace of the dead

Palace fo sho.

That said, most content is gated behind the story quests, so you'll need to do it anyway at some point regardless of how fast it is.

i know, i already have 60 in all classes, but iam currently leveling an alt and just looking for the fasted method to reach 50 besides fates

POTD floor 1-30
POTD floor 51-60

POTD it is cheers

Mog stations Wait for leveling items to come. Sorry had to say it.

Do both. When the MSQ starts getting spread out across levels, pick up palace to fill the gaps.

You need to have cleared Copperbell Mines to even unlock POTD, so that requires burning MSQ to level 17. Previous poster is correct in that you should burn MSQ as much as possible, then POTD between any notable gaps in the next quest in the MSQ chain, since you have to do MSQ anyways to unlock further content.

Yeah, unless you only want the alt for..idk, RP or something, you still need to unlock all content for it through the MSQ so instead of burning yourself out doing PotD until 60 and then going back and doing the MSQ from 17-60, just do the MSQ and PotD in between.

I've been leveling an alt as well, and I'm really getting tired of Darkhold and Aurum Vale. Guess I should unlock Palace when I get home tonight, if the EXP is as good as people say it is. I've been doing it non-stop on my main, but that's already maxed out on everything so I never really thought of it as a possible leveling spot.

For levels 1-15 you can power level with a high ilv friend. Find a good spot with a LOT of mobs, tag them one at a time, and have your friend kill 'em quick. Best to find a long stretch of them or a cycle of them, and keep the exp chain bonus going! You cannot be in the same party as said friend though. If you're also both willing to stick it out for a bit longer, this method stays effective until lv20ish depending on the mob's level.

PotD isn't super efficient until lvs 30+ imo, but i haven't done the math or anything. Remember that for tanks and healers though, assuming queue times are short, regular dungeons are still supposed to be faster in addition to the fact that rested, food, and fc bonuses are applicable.

Leves can be even faster than PotD if you have a willing lv60 friend. Get in the same party and have them rip everything apart for the leve(careful for the /soothe ones!). Turnins are as quick as a minute. The trick for leve repetition is to accept about 3 of them with intent on only doing 1 or 2.
Example: in Whitebrim Front you would want to spam "This Area is a Bit Sketchy" and "Necrologos" since they only involve killing target monsters. Accept these 2+1more, do one leve, and turn it in. Hopefully, the one you just did will reappear in the list. If not, do the other and upon turnin one/both will reappear in the list. Occasionally, none will come back, and you'll have to do the 3rd one to get back into the cycle.

Fates are good for the lv20 gap, especially if you want the seals or leveling the 3 GCs. Still not the fastest choice.
