How to level in Heavenward

[Geryth]

I've seen a lot of people struggling with leveling and complaining about using all their side quests for their first 60. I'm almost 58 and I've played an average of 1.5-2 hours a night and I've yet to do any side quests except for what's needed for Aether Currents. It's pretty simple:

1. Main Scenario: Should go without saying but running through MS is a major chunk of EXP and is your way to progress through each zone.
2. Daily Clan Hunts: Unlocks at level 53 in Foundation that gives you access to the Clan Hunt board. At level 53 this is over 100k experience every day. At level 56 it's near 250k exp every day. AND gets Centurio seals you'll use to buy end game gear. No brainer.
3. Duty Roulette: You have Low Level, High Level, and Main Scenario that give massive daily bonuses, and they take 25-30 minutes each. Do at least one or two a day.
4. Challenge Log: Great way to break up the monotony of the other tasks that you have an entire week to do. 10 fates and 20 levequests that you split throughout the week at your leisure and they don't even have to be done in Heavensward. You SHOULD get your dungeon challenge logs by default by doing at least one dungeon every day. And you get free exp each week just for sending player commendations.
5. Unlock Flying ASAP: When you get to a new zone through Main Scenario go through slowly at first and get introduced a bit through where Main Scenario takes you and then time a chunk of effort to find all 10 on foot aether currents. Then work on getting all the aether current quests done. The goal is that when main scenario lets you finish that last aether current quest that should allow you to start flying in an area. This will greatly increase the speed that you can do another tasks - most notably the clan hunts. It will especially help your subsequent 60's.

In the 2'ish hours I play every night I do 1 or 2 roulettes, all my clan hunts, some challenge log stuff, and I spend 20-30 minutes doing main scenario quests. I've only been restricted by the next main scenario quest by level only a single time and that's only because I focused on Main Scenario exclusively one night. And I have nearly all side quests for leveling subsequent 60's. There are lots of ways to level in this game and efficient leveling with utilize a bunch of them. If you just sit and spam the new dungeons you'll burn out quickly. Mindlessly FATE grinding is way too slow outside of what's necessary for the challenge log. Levequests are gated behind allowances. Ignoring clan hunts not only is missed experience but will require more grinding for level 60 gear.

There's only ONE thing I want SE to do, and that's add experience points from trash killed in High Level Roulette / Main Scenario Roulette. But other than that you have plenty of options and the grind will be over before you know it. As casual as a player as I am I'm going to go from 50-60 in probably less than 2 weeks. That's pretty quick for an entire expansion of new content.
