Levelling up - THM/BLM vs CNJ/WHM

[YanDere]

Well, I got my CNJ/WHM to lv50, and now I'm getting THM too, but I noticed a great difference between them:
THM IS DAMN FAST.
I know that there is a slight exp boost once you reach lv50 with a class, but it's still too much faster than CNJ.
I got 16 levels in 1-2 hours, by clearing the hunting log and grinding the FATE "Return of the King"!
With CNJ I had to play for a whole day between hunting log, FATEs, dungeons, leves and quests to get a single level up.
Is it normal?

Well if you leveled your whm directly when game came out comparing the quickness of leveling is useless. Some of the areas where so crowded completing huntinlog took like 30 min while now you just go to zone kill the mobs move to next zone.
Also look at the experience everyone has in dungeons and that sort of things. You going so much quicker through the dungeons so comparing it to how you leveled conjurer, white mage is out of the question.

Dmg dealer classes are often a bit better then tank/healer classes in leveling even more since you can easaly get the healing skills from other classes making healing as a dd so much easier.
Also look at your gear and all the fate farming, you get used to that and remember that till lvl 15 or was it 20 you didn't have a chocobo licence which make traveling a pain and fates not a real viable option.

You've got a point
And I found really useful the FATE Return of the King for lvls 10-17, it's really fast.
When Moonfire Faire started, I was already CNJ lv35-40, so it was pointless XD

I could be mistaken, but I believe the bonus to level 20 or lower char with a 50 class leveled up is 49%, which is very substantial.

Again it is what I recall offhand, I could be wrong.
