    Having just raised DRG from 1-50 in the last few weeks, I did:

    --Levequests
    At each new tier, only do them at +4 levels. The XP this way (including bonuses) is similar to FATEs in the area, and you don't have to wait on them. Use your chocobo companion, even though it sucks away 1/3 of your kill XP for itself. Level 35+ it starts taking around 20 leves and more to gain a single level from only leves. Do whatever FATEs are in the area first, and then do the Levequests until the next group of FATEs spawn.

    --FATEs
    Not only are there far fewer people doing these now, they seem to spawn less frequently than before. Most Atma farming groups will let you in, though, just because it's faster for them even if you aren't there for the same reason. Northern Thanalan for 42+ on my server was a ghost town, but I managed to get into one small group for a couple of levels.

    --Dungeons
    For the time it takes to fully clear a dungeon, the actual XP you get is about on par with FATE grinding, maybe a little slower, but it provides a break from the grind. Of course, still do whatever FATEs or levequests you can while in the queue.

    --Other
    Each Hunting log entry is about equal to a single FATE or Levequest.
    Each Challenge log entry for Levequests, FATEs, and Dungeons is worth about 1/6 of a level, I believe, maybe 1/8? Each entry is obtainable only 1/week, though.
    I didn't do any Guildhests, but the first-time bonus is per class now instead of per character.
    Around 41+ you can do Beastman daily quests, but this is less XP than a Levequest, and only 6/day.
