Level up a new job

[Shuon]

is there powerlvling in this game?

Not in the strictest sense.

But there are ways to farm exp faster for example: you can get a party, enter dzemael darkhold, clear first room, then exit and rinse and repeat - apparently its insane exp.

How long does it take from 1 to 50? Depends on how often you play really. If you play heaps, I'd say less than a week? That said, you will burn out - I remember bringing drg from 45 to 50 in a day and I was so exhausted at the end.

Also re dungeons, just an advice based on personal experience - it is *great* exp if you have sufficient rested exp bonus but without that, I think FATEs are probably better.

That said, if it is a healer/tank class you are level-ing, maybe it is better to take it slowly so at max level you are at least decent in your job. I have met whm at 50 who doesn't know that shroud of saints regenerates mp.
