50 to 70 - Fastest Leveling?

My miner is level 56, and my botanist and fisher are 51. Is there an easier way to level from 50-60 fast rather than just the HW leves in Foundation? And for levels 60-70 is the SB leves in Kugane good, or something else?

From level 20 to 50, I've done leves. I thought this was the fastest, but someone said collectables. I'm not really sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, leves are going to be your best choice most of the time. In Stormsblood, the collectables are an additional great way to level up fast, but it depends on your gear and skill. Collectables will be faster, and net you scrips whilst you're at it, but if that isn't an option unfortunately leves are the way to go.

I would also do as many GC turnins as possible. A HQ turn in is worth roughly 1/4 a level(twice that on star days). And if you arent using them for your crafters, doing the custom deliveries for Khloe and M'naago is a good source of exp while also getting you some scrips.

I just leveled my Botanist (my first DoL class) from 0 -70 in a little less than 2 weeks, playing a few hours a night and only really focusing on it once my Main stuff (capping Tomes, Clearing Omega, etc.) was done. I did Leves and GC turn-ins up to 60 and then did Custom Deliveries, GC turn-ins, and collectibles (while grinding nodes in the area for MarketBoard fodder waiting for the collectible nodes to pop) up to 70. This not only proved a really efficient leveling path for me personally, but also allowed me to easily have enough scrips to keep my gear updated as I leveled, as gearing from the MarketBoard instead of scrips can break the bank.

Botanist and Miner on two different characters were leveled almost exclusively with daily GC turn-ins. I wasn't in any huge hurry, though. Somewhere around a level every other day unless I got a 59-60 turn-in at 61.

I went from 60-70 in a day on Botanist and another day for Miner. Just do the collectibles and you can do the same for 50-60. It is by far the fastest leveling method.

There are two kinds of Collectibles : those on timed nodes, and those available all the time.

Focus on the timed node Collectibles. They are worth a lot more exp, and because they are natively 6 swing nodes (though you use one on getting access to the item) you can normally gather more Collectibles per node, resulting in more Collectibles for your GP. Use the always available Collectibles only when you have the GP to spend AND do not have a Collectible on a timed node coming up within about 2 game hours.

Speaking of GP, you’ll need 600 for anything past the Old World Fig / Yellow Copper Ore.

Oh, be sure to spend the Red Gathering Scrip. There’s no point in holding on to 2k RGS when you’re going to hand in more Collectibles.

Leves’re good for around 15/20 to 50. And the manuals are good for Fishing, regardless. After 50, though, for miner and botanist, Leves may be a decent supplement, but they are not as good as Collectibles.

Oh and stock up on Cordials...... Cordials are amazing when doing Timed Nodes. If you are on iOS there is an amazing app that provides all the node times.

IMHO actually gathering stuff is the best way to level. It teaches you the markets for stuff.

I admit it is the slowest way though.

As for those GC turnins, gather enough HQ items for the turnin and sell the NQs in the correct amount for a turnin.
