    How to level dps alts?

    How do I efficiently level a dps without being forced to run Palace of the Braindead? I highly recommend leveling a dps as your first character, as MSQs are the only efficient way to level a dps.

    Dungeons with fates while you wait, maybe get the yokai's done if you haven't yet. 70-80 fates have the perk of gaining gemstones and rep with the areas for goodies and riding maps for the zones. If you hate fates then maybe just tab and do something, slap on netflix or whatever your heart desires.

    Is doing low level fates via Level Sync efficient?

    if you have to sync to a fate its probably not efficient leveling wise at all. I do them more as time passers for the dungeons which are the real meat of exp that isnt POTD. On aether i've found que times arent too too terrible, 10-15 mins per que unless its super late at night, then the time stretches a bit.

    One of the best ways to lvl up to 60 is using the Squadron. No queue time and they are fast.

    Before you can use them it's hunting log, combat leve quests and fates until lvl 15, then you queue up for your first dungeon.

    You should get the bonus exp ring from the hall of novice. At lvl 16 you can do leveling roulette.

    Squadron should be available from lvl 20 to 60 I think.

    Without squadron you should queue up for the highest lvl dungeon you can enter and do fates, hunting log, beast tribe quests and daylie hunt while you are waiting.

    At lvl 50 you are unlocking more roulettes, do them every day. Well, the 50/60/70 roulette isn't really worth the time, but you get some poetics to buy gear. And MSQ roulette gives many exp, but oh well...

    The lvl 50, 60 and 70 dungeons don't give much exp anyway, you should skip them and for example queue up for the lvl 47 dungeon until you hit lvl 51.

    From 71 to 80 you can level with the Trust system. They are slow, but you don't have to wait for a tank and healer.

    Hi, all jobs max level. If you are trying to burn through content ASAP, there really isn’t anything to do but be brain dead.

    I did all of mine with a mix of different roulettes; mostly PvP, leveling and trials. You can also get a very satisfactory bump doing daily beast tribe quests. (HW onward, 2.0 beasts are not worth the time)

    I am not an advocate for efficiency though... so I couldn’t tell you what the absolute fastest way would be other than spam dungeons or PotD.

    Always queue your highest level dungeon.
    While waiting, do beast tribes, FATEs, or battle leves if available.

    Nothing is forced, players should pick whatever they find the most enjoyable....

    Such as this. You can do a mix of things as there are plenty of activities to choose from these days. Personally not a big fan of Deep Dungeons unless it's for the challenge aspect, going there for levels though not so much. Even if it takes 15mins to get in to a Roulette, I'd take that and will have more fun than running DDs.

    Rank up with your grand company asap

    Then proceed to get a 4th member ( youre given three) by completing challenge logs . Handy if the weekly reset has just occurred so you can do many of the easy ones. Once youve gotten your 4th member youre given a 1 hour patrol mission to send them on and after that you can then use the traning board to get their levels up to 20. Once thats done you get a squadron rank up mission which takes 18 hours. after that command missions are available. These are amazing for exp. The amount of exp per enemy is 2-4k in the 20s dungeon and goes up to 8-10k by the 40s lvls dungeons (dependent on what exp bonuses you have applied) and the bosses give big exp bumps on thier own.

    So you kill all of the npcs inside (dont skip any if at all possible) and your levels go up quick especially if you have the road to 70 buff and your FC exp buff. All the same loot chest are there and of course the final boss loot is all yours to loot as you are the only human in the group.

    This will take a few days due to the 18 hour missions and waiting for daily training resets.

    If you are doing out of expansion fate then its not worth it time for exp wise.
