Considering there is 36 hours between resets, simply doing leves will take you several days to reach 20. Grinding out Behest in the early stages is your best bet to rank quickly. I have all DoW/DoM classes at 20+, trust me, SAVE your leves, use a few for rank 20 leves to push you to 23 then grab the rank 30 leves. Also you'll want to look into leve-linking and see how that works. It's basically a way for you to increase the SP/EXP gained from leve mobs by joining a group of other players. Although, with the current game state this is sometimes a problem.

Like I said, you can easily reach rank 20 with a good 3-5 hour sitting by doing Behest/grinding mobs at the first camp, doing the same at the second camp, and then doing leves/behests at the 3rd camp. I'm not sure on what your camps would be if you started in Gridania or Limsa Lominsa, but for Ul'Dah, your first camp will be Black Brush, then Drybone, then Horizon.
At level 10 it took me lot's of behest to even get 11 so i think i know i reroll a few times and try the best way to level. Best way to level is doing the ui'dah leves you can get 1-20 if you had someone to do the leves with in 1day. I'm sick of Ul'dah so i do mine in LL which does not get me 1-20 within 1 leve.

But no need to fight you have your way of playing and i have mine leves are better then sitting around doing behest i only do behest with the time come but doing leves are the best way to level and if you have friends to do them with even better you get max level in no time.
