    You wak a mob till it dies, and repeat that until you level.

    Or wait for 1.19 and then you wak a mob and friend waks + defeats mob and you repeat that until you level.

    Simplez!

    Other than that, idk, i'd like to know!

    I'm not complaining in the sense that I hate whats going on, I am really just looking to figure out the most proficient way to level.

    Any suggestions?

    BTW, Behests shouldn;t have a 1hr timer, they were better before.
    My Opinion? Take initiative and make a party. Shout in Ul'dah. Add the friends for the party each time ESP Conj/Thaum, and then next time they are online, they will usually team up. I've grinded to 50 a couple of times. It gets easier when you have a large flist and a decent linkshell.

    Put yourself out there and make some friends

    I shout for parties, or do other things and wait for people to shout for parties. Without party flag, you're kinda screwed though. There'd be a LOT more parties if you could put up a flag.

    Leves. I just get on and do them and then log off til next reset these days.

    There's no rush to level up, really. Not like there's anything to do.

    I have also cleared the beastmen encampments starting at lower 40s-45ish (solo), depending on what class you're playing. Archer can start earlier cuz they kill so fast.

    Shouts can be rare, and rarer still is that they are in your desired level range. Until you're maybe 44+ for raptor parties in Coerthas, I am not exagerrating when I say partying was easier in XI. It makes this game painfully inaccessible and I really believe it's a major factor in why barely anyone sticks around.

    I see shouts all the time in Uldah. . . for parties r37+. I haven't seen shouts for Toto-Rak in ages, which is a shame, because Toto-Rak is pretty much what the OP is looking for.

    Grind Parties.. Ul'dah always has ppl yelling for them.

    Leve's are ok if you are solo, but you'll never get exp/sp even close to a solid grind PT.

    Plus it helps build the community.

    if you do crafting as side class then you can farm while you exp solo and by the time you know it you got yourself good amount of materials with maybe 8-10k exp (if you're bored sometimes like me and got nothing better to do at late nights)
    Or in my case I try to farm my wifes crafting mats also so I got more mob ranges to kill.

    Other than that I tend to go exploring killing harder mobs solo to see if its possible, check out the xp and if I like it I'll stick around for a bit which also helps out on exp while not even worried about it.

    Aside from leves every 36 hours, I do quests when available and story missions. The quests gives a decent amount of exp and the story missions gives around half a level. I think it goes incredibly fast to level up.

    I did a raptor party once, was fun and good exp, but I am usually in Gridania so I don't get in parties much for the time being.

    grinding solo isn't that slow. you can get 10k an hour with little effort and 20k if you focus. That means you can get more than one level a day almost every day up to 45-ish and then 1.5 levels a day if you play a lot.

    Check my guide in the sig for instructions on how to do it.

    Grind parties are -really- fast though and you can get like 40k+ an hour on raptors sometimes.

    Leves aren't really worth the travel time anymore to be honest. Id do gathering leves since right now you can get 20k per leve with Gaurdians aspect easily on them.
