I often ran into issues where my leave quests would take me to an area with a mob 10-40 levels more than me. Not that I was doing challenging leaves (I finished them all quickly and easily). Just the points were next to a mob that could beat me up in a few hits, and sometimes next to an NM that could beat me up in one hit.

Fortunately I am also a level 50 THM so I could clear the area before chopping. But if you do not have such a class (or person) to help out, it can result in failed leaves.

For level 25-35 I found the best approach was:
1) Get 2 Leavequests for Cedarwood
2) Do both leave quests
3) On final leave quest return not to Cedarwood but Bearded Rock
4) Run back into town
5) Repeat

For level 35-45 I plan to do Camp Iron Rock. Unfortunately it will mean using Anima to get back to Limsa Lomina to pick up another two leaves.

Does anyone have any suggestions of less boring (or more efficient) ways of getting XP?


Thank you.
