    Your favorite method of leveling subclasses?

    I'm not asking for "the best," or "the fastest," I'm asking the community what's your most ENJOYABLE way of leveling subclasses?

    The methods of leveling I've found are:
    - levequests (mostly regular, and GC ones if lucky)
    - FATE grinding
    - dungeons (and now dungeon roulette)
    - Hunting log(s)

    So far I've been doing levequests (throw in the other 2 occasionally), and found it can be tedious doing the same 4 quests in 1 zone over and over again, so how are some ways you guys mix it up to make it more interesting? Maybe doing the leve's in a different zone, etc.

    Oh yes, if regular quests are there that I haven't done yet, I tend to do those, too.

    *edit* I forgot to mention hunting logs as Mykil has mentioned. Thanks!

    I personally prefer dungeons, which is what I did even before the exp boost from 2.1. Levequests are alright too, but I just find FATE grinding a little dull myself.

    I prefer dungeons. It helps me learn my class in a group environment as I level up and learn new skills and how to best use them.

    I have always prefered Dungeons in this game for leveling, although with the time limits in place it is hard to find socializing time in them. IF they introduce an in game voice chat option for dungeons that would be awesome. One that would work for pc and ps3

    Ummm none? Honestly leveling is painfully boring and tedious and I just can't stand it. Have monk and sch to 50 and struggling to get whm. Dungeons I've run 100000 times is the least boring I guess.

    Chasing Fate red dots on a map like a herd of cats chasing a laser pointer while trying to spam any aoe or insta-cast ability available makes me want to stab myself and everyone around me in the eye. Since release, dungeon grinds. Now, I mix it up with the roulette and dailies as well. If they ever let me kill with my chocobo out while waiting for DF then I would add senseless killing in the wild to level up my chocobo as well. Also, hunting logs.

    Hunting Logs and Dungeons. lolfates are horribly boring and teach you absolutely nothing about your class (you can always tell who fated their jobs up in endgame), with the new duty roulette it makes leveling in dungeons faster. Plus if you have buds from your fc to run dungeons with for 0 wait time, they can actually be faster xp than lolfates anyway since the dungeon xp increase of 2.1

    I've generally preferred dungeons, seemingly similar to most posters in this thread. Helps teaching me how to play a new class, especially the melee ones which usually have difficulties utilizing their positional moves when soloing. The loot doesn't hurt, either.

    Standard quests and Hunting Logs.

    I've never cared for dungeons/raids, and fates would be decent if they didn't feel so 'samey' (and typically necessitate chasing them as they pop over and over again)
