    Leveling 45-50

    This is my first time leveling a class in months, but I decided on doing so and I've noticed that at 45 all the normal at-level events are empty. I thought they would be more with PS4 launch but FATE's are all but dead, dungeons...well, are great if the tank/healer don't quit instantly, party doesn't flop badly on these higher tier lower level dungeons. I could duty roulette spam for better queue times but more often than not its lower level and the exp is a fraction what I'd get in a dungeon my level.

    There are guildleve's, but I am working on crafting and I don't want to use what little leve's I am allowed on battlecraft ones. I'll get to 50 but I think this will be the slowest climb for 5 levels I will ever experience.

    The general idea is to reach, what was it, 46? 47? And spam Aurum Vale first room repeatedly for something nutters like 80k xp. You reach 50 in a few hours like that.

    Before then, just DF'ing for Stone Vigil and Dzemael seemed to be what I would do. Spam fates alone while waiting on the timer.

    Dzemael speedruns are popular now, basically they just pull all the mobs before the first boss, kill em and leave/reque. Also seen things about Aurum vale, but I dont know how those ones work.

    On Cerberus, I see 41-50 doing Darkhold (or whatever that dungeon's called) in PF. Yeah, kind of sucks having to PF for another group to go in, kill all mobs before first boss, wash and repeat. But it runs about 90k per run, little extra with food, in about 8-10 minutes. And if you can get level 50 friends to help, goes even faster. And I think it's 44, where you can switch to AV and do something similar for a little more experience per mob, but not so fast and easy on the wash-repeat step.

    Dzemael Darkhold has some pretty insane xp.

    With a group that is competent, you can clear it in 2:45 (that was our minimum), usually around 3:00 (that was with a DRG and a SMN).
    That's 2:45-3:00 for ~50k xp.

    Levels you up hilariously fast.
    DD is much faster than AV.

    Aurum Vale isn't done much anymore once it became common knowledge that the Crystal Veils in Dzemael reduced a lot of damage. It's too easy to mess up the first room of AV so, DD is the "in vogue" one right now. Check Party Finder. It's usually there...

    I did not know that about Dzemael.. I never see it in PF and any party I get in duty there no one talks about it. I will try to organize it myself then and see what happens.
