How to Avoid Overleveling?

[Logos101]

Thank you all for the suggestions and feedback. I don't mind skipping over *some* content, but I'm wanting, at least, to keep up with hunting logs, side questing in each area as I get to them, and achievements that are linked to each area. Again, I haven't progressed very far at all yet, but I haven't found it possible to do any of the above while remaining at appropriate levels. This is the first JRPG that I've tried and the first MMORPG that I've played after a long break. I'm coming over from EverQuest, World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online, and older MMORPGs that had optional toggles to turn experience off and on. I haven't seen that sort of thing being available here.

Right, there's no "turn off xp" here. For me, I like having the option of playing either Tank, Healer, or DPS, so I usually pick one role for the main storyline quests, one for the sidequests, and one for dungeons/roulettes. Leveling them all side-by-side usually keeps me pretty close to the "intended" levels for each type of quest as I go along.
