Yeah if its your main job....

It's really easy. I just spent two weeks in game and already have SMN to level 48. If you sneeze wrong you'll level. All I did was try a little of everything.

I stepped into the game in Limsa with the intention of being an Arcanist... the minute I got in I was flooded with quests, so many I was overwhelmed, I think I spent the first couple hours doing nothing but quests. Someone handed me a Linkshell invite before I even completed the first round of quests. Almost felt burned out on them. I set foot outside the gates of the city and I was 4th level already. I ran around killing a few things, which leveled me again. Walked head long into a couple of FATEs that I didn't really know what they were other than they were fun and gave me a lot of EXP... ended that first day at 8th level.

Next day I went out and started doing some Main Story quests and the Arcanist class quests. which of course sent me to other zones other than the newbie fields. by the end of the next day I was at 17th level and completing the Main Story quest instances and my first dungeon. And running around killing things along the way and Stumbling into more FATEs, and picking up every quest at the neighboring towns. I also attempted a couple Levequests which went smoothly. By the end of the third day I was already at level 20 and asking my Linkshell how to get the Chocobo mount.

Its all such a blur because it happened so fast. I barely recall even being a newbie... I remember it being fun... I just don't remember it at all.

It wasn't like other games where you spend like a week at the first 10 levels, this was just zoom... wow... what happened? It was pretty cool... I just don't remember any of it.
