Well it depends tho, the chocobo when out (or as people wanna call it in group), gains exp together with you. You split it with your chocobo, so if you now go and kill mobs that are your level or a bit higher, you will gain obviously more exp then you would trying to kill level 5 ladybugs, were only your chocobo would get 15 exp lol.

As I was leveling mine, I was constantly using it when doing the clan hunts, leves, and fates. And while it still takes a bit of time, it isn't that bad. Mine is above level 10, in fact it's level 14 or 15 by now, and that's hell of a long time leveling it up. Even with the bonus it gets from the challenge log, I probably never get it to max level, but then again at the level it is right now, it does heal in most cases better then any "real" healer that's played by a regular player. Just keep at it.
