Gaining exp even if dng is unsynched

[vanitaslaughing]

Just finished getting my second alt to level 50, since I kinda lost my motivation with the other in early HW and then the new tomes dropped and I found a new static and all, but it's really not that hard. The only times you run into level locks in ARR if you're a DPS is the 40-50 region, but that has always been the case. Like HyoMinPark I was level 26 for Toto-Rak, levelled up in there, did POTD when I hit level locks and somehow magically slogged my way to 50 before 4am yester... today.
It took me, let's see. Playtime's at 4 1/2 days. That alt was something else beforehand where I loafed around, so let's take about 6 hours off the playtime for loafing and doing nothing but standing around in swimwear.

4 days from 1-50. 2-4 days for ARR, and no level locks (maybe more if youre a slow reader). I did it on my other alt which I dropped in Heavensward, but I entered HW on level 52, and I notoriously did not do any roulettes due to main character burnout. That alone carries one nearly into Ravana, and the MSQ exp got me to nearly level 54. I had to yet set a foot in the Dravanian Forelands on said alt - and barely did any sidequests because of main character burnout (I caught up on all quests I didn't do before I made an alt. Don't ask).

Armoury bonus makes levelling a class up to grab a job ridiculously easy, and that stacks with the Brand-new Ring, the Friendship Circlet and food bonus.

Can't say much for HW yet other than "Hey, the dungeons don't give as abysmally little exp as they did on launch!," which already made levelling other jobs up to 60 easy, but that was with armoury bonus. Still, its a large chunk of exp nowadays compared to the light drizzle it was in early access/launch. The level 50 dungeons can be utterly curbstomped and ARE utterly curbstomped AND give exp if you don't go unsynched, which makes levelling even easier.

I'unno, it's plenty easy to level, and that's coming from a notorious sidequest-skipper who used to be always way behind level-wise because of that.
