Should I just start over?

Ill restate a bit whats already been said and add a point or two.

Restarting is completely unnecessary. The extra levels you got on white mage will only serve to boost you early on as you work on marauder/lancer/whatever. You'll continue getting the armory bonus exp that was mentioned until one of your classes passes the level of your white mage(and if you get bored with this and decide to go back, white mage would then have that boost for being the lower level class). As was mentioned, you now have the chocobo companion option to make soloing a little easier which is totally a plus. And ill re-emphasize that your hunting log(and guild hest first timer bonus too) is per-class. So you can redo those kills for the bonus exp all over again.

And one thing that nobody mentioned, have you done the hall of the novice training yet? For completing the training courses available you get a set of armor(good armor - you can do this multiple times for sets that fit different jobs), but more importantly when you finish the last one you get a ring that provides bonus exp up to level 30. So if you havent yet, do that now(either with your probably 15 by now marauder/lancer or even just with your white mage so you can get the bonus exp immediately). Combine that with a dungeon or two, maybe a short trip into PotD, and a few entries in the challenge log(which, again, resets weekly on tuesdays so these can be done many many times) and youll be caught back up in no time and chasing down leads so you can save the Limsans from the danger that Titan poses - and the rest of the storyline beyond that too! Good luck and happy hunting.

unless you like Roleplaying and want to born again you don't really have to restart, let's say it's time consuming..but since you're below level 50, you would easily catch up but no it's not really needed. I'd restart if there were no more interesting contents to do for me lol.

Yes, the game is designed to not have to have more than one character, but if you want to feel fresh and new again, make a new character - there is no harm in it.

There are many reasons to begin anew. Enjoy the game for all that it has to offer: find your niche. That is what's most important.

The best method to level up currently is Palace Of The Dead you can unlock it at level 17 you don't need any Gear for palace of the dead so its perfect place to get some levels
