It was sorta fun up until level 30ish (perhaps not coincidentally when the Brand New Ring bonus exp stops, and I don't have any bonus earrings). Leveled up quick and easy, plenty of spells to pick up as you manage to improve your survival skills. By about level 35, I'd picked up just about all the open world spells available (everything except Loom, I think, and technically Dragon/Ram, if Gorgimera was done more often).

After that point, it becomes tedious. Grinding out levels until you hit the limit for the next dungeon that might have a skill until 50, when I assume it might be a little less terrible just for having more options to try to learn. As is, I've really only got enough energy for it to just zip around for easy low level boss FATEs to knock out with a few thousand needles to clear that entry in the challenge log.
