How am I supposed to level in Pagos?

[Fynlar]

As someone who relied pretty much solely on challenge log to get my companion chocobo from rank 10- 20 (which basically means 6-7 weeks' worth for one rank), being able to get 1.5-2 or so levels per week here by just staying in Anemos doesn't feel so bad at all tbh.

Not gonna touch Pagos at all to hit 35. Tbh I might not even bother after 35, I guess we'll see.

Do the challenge logs works in Anemos if we are at a higher lvl ?
Like for example, if i'm lvl 28. I go back to Anemos, I'll be synced at lvl20.
What level will be considered then? The synced or the unsynced one ?

Specifically, you'll be treated as level 20 with regard to what counts for meeting the objectives, but you'll still get rewarded according to your actual level, meaning the exp still scales up appropriately.

You really have no clue how Pagos works do you. If someone doesn't go to Pagos at 25 and get their kettle to gather light they are wasting their time. I started a toon less then 3 days ago and she is now 34. She'll have close to 20 of the 31 frosted cyrstals needed for relic when she hits hopefully 35 tonight.

NM's in Anemos give next to no experience compared to Pagos and they certainly don't give light.

I recommend doing a full challenge log at level 20 in Anemos to get to 23, do your first 2 quests in Pagos and then camp and help with the lower level NM's till you hit 25 where you can do your 25 quest and start gathering light. At 25 try and keep up with which NM's are being prepped North and work your way to those groups and save return for the lower level NM's. It's very hard to make any NM"s North if you are on foot and staying south once they pop even if you are able to catch a ride.
