How to level in Heavenward

Couple of things to add there.

Grab leves for the zone you will be questing, as its extra quests in the zone. If, on your way to a quest and pass a FATE in progress, jump in or just do enough to earn gold and move on if no one there. It's still XP and both add up. I got to 60 on MNK and still had some 56 quests, majority of 57 quests and all of 58-59 quests left for levelling PLD.

Just because the challenge log items don't scale past 60 doesn't mean they aren't a great source of experience. Since you should be doing dungeons anyway that's 3 challenge log rewards that you should be getting without even aiming for them.

The challenge log offers a way to break up the monotony of the other tasks. Take a break from dungeons for a bit and hammer out a couple fates. Or do a few levequests. 20 levequests + challenge log can alone be around 650k experience. 10 Fates + challenge log can be over 300k experience. Sprinkling those in between your other activities throughout the week to snag near 1 million experience? Sounds worth it to me.

This really only worked for me in Coerthas Western Highlands, Dravanian Forelands, Cloud top area where there were a lot of active people in the zones that can't fly yet. Once I got to Churning Mists I noticed no one doing FATEs, so there were hardly opportunities to "jump in an out of opportunistic FATEs". I think that's valid advice from 50-53 but beyond that you won't find much opportunity for it.
