Leveling up low leveled battle classes a HUGE issue at moment.

[h0tNstilettos]

When waiting for the DR takes longer than a few normal dungeon runs, this is not an efficient way to level. Go get your friends and FC mates and pick 5 dungeons to get exp in. It's like the DR, but faster.

Not enough actives in the FC with low leveled jobs they want to play.

Lol I was planning to necroing a thread that talks about the exact same thing from a few months back. But I knew it'll be met with smartasses attaching pics of the undead and such.

Anyways, I agree

Thumbs up, though I noticed you already got all yours to 50. Lucky you.

It's really not that difficult to level up a low level PvE class.

DPS queues suck, yeah, but all you really need to do is one low level roulette and duty roulette guildhest a day. With those two combined you easily get around 2 levels each day.

And I speak from current experience in leveling Dragoon up to 34 for Blood for Blood. DPS queues suck, yeah, but it's nowhere near "impossible" to do. It just doesn't take as quick as leveling a tank or healer.

I use to do all dungeons and leveled more than 2 levels a day. BLM at 37, WHM at 38, plus others I last left off, but nothing endgame yet aside from my SMN, then haven't touched combat in long time where leveling is concerned for gathering and crafting.

Ways of getting good exp:

Do each guildhest once
Guildhest roulette
Low-level roulette
Challenge Log
Leves
Beast Tribe Quests when you get high enough
Hunting Log
Fates (maybe while waiting for queues)
Always use food +3% exp
FC buff if you can +5-10% exp
Rested bonus

This is off the top of my head but it is not hard to level a battle class. Maybe hard if you only rely on dungeon queues and you're queuing as dps. It took me less than 25 hours per battle class this way (at a rate of 1-2 hours per day). Your mileage may vary but in my opinion leves are the fastest. There are leves you can do in 1-2 min. Many of the escort ones, ones where you have to pick up items, ones where you have to reveal an enemy's true form, and ones where bosses summon enemies. Mostly you can do them quickly by ignoring mechanics: run past mobs, attack every enemy rather than use the items to reveal their forms, and ignore adds on boss ones.

Edit: I've found the best way to deal with long queue times is to do something irl: homework, housework, read a book, write a novel, surf the forums... LOL

Lol (lol was at your edit), I already use food, low level roulette, and hunting log. FATEs, leves, and guildhests have horrible experience, except FATEs with party, but no one doing them to party with.

FATE's are good exp while waiting for those dungeons. Also, there were far more side quests than were needed to level 1 class to 50 so see if you left any of them laying around.

I've already done all low level side quests on main, plus remaining ones leveling other jobs.

1: Queue for a dungeon with all languages selected (Due to how the DF works, it's always faster regardless of region or server group)
2: Go to a level appropriate zone and do leves.
3: If a FATE spawns nearby, go do the FATE.
4: When the dungeon pops, go do that.

Rinse and repeat. That's really all there is to it.

I already do this, queue time has tripled and leves are not an option due to horrendous experience requiring too many leves per level considering the leve allowance. I thought FATEs only give decent 'experience per amount' of time in party.
