Quest Hubs issues

[Dirich]

I started SB on 60 and was 70 before I got to the Peaks/Lochs. Never once did I have to grind fates or extra dungeons for XP, and I didn't touch a single side quest. I did my levelling roulette daily, that was it. And I never had Road-To-60.

Sidequests are unnecessary, and if for whatever reason they become necessary, the 1/3 of a level or whatever that you might need to get is better found elsewhere. Leave the side quests for the people who want a more nuanced story; there are plenty of quick-hit grindfests in the game that can serve your purpose. Honestly, I think getting your actual class levels is probably the easiest thing in the game.

I started at level 63 in Far East (switched from the main class that was 64) I did almost all the side quests in the 3 Far East zones, I never did the roulette (I had 3 free days in a row and I just focused on getting to 70, so I could have done 3 days' worth of roulettes), I did hunts whenever I wasn't blocked by some cutscene and boss fates when they were near me. I had "rested bonus XP" all the time. Still, I was only ~10% of the level away from 70 when the last MSQ of the first SB chain became available.

How many days exactly did it take you to go from 60 to 70? That is, how many roulettes have you done?
Please don't answer that I shouldn't rush, because I've got friends that are at max level, and forcing them to play old content they don't care about gets old pretty fast.

P.S.
road-to-60 doesn't really matter since we are talking about 60 -> 70.
