About how many levels can i get out of ARR/HW story if i start a new character at 60?

[Mizunoko]

Just asking because im making a new character on jenova, and i was just thinking if i level boost it to 60, but purposely don't buy the story for the sake of the exp unlocks for maps and story quests from arr and hw, does anyone have a decent guess at about what level i will be by the time i finish HW? Would i be 70 or maybe close? I can zoom through the story pretty quickly if i no life it for a few days, but at the same time if the exp added to my already boosted level isn't really going to get me very close to 70 i might just see it as a better idea to just story skip as well.

Keep in mind i already know the story i am a veteran player, so for me this would purely just be using the story quests for added exp. Also i'm not going to bother with doing potd/HoH to do the leveling instead because ive basically lived in their for the past month and the point of this question is more too see if this idea is decent enough to take a break from all the of those other methods. I may still throw in roulette running however. I would appreciate any guestimation or input anyone has to offer ^_^. Thank you.

Leveling is the easy part... getting though story is where all the work is. Between the Stormblood story quests and all the roulettes you can do getting to 70 isn't all that hard.

As i said while i was editing, I already know getting to 70 isn't difficult and i know all the other methods as i have many level 70's already. To me this is more about taking a break from all that and mixing it up a bit for once. ^_^. My main question here is if anyone can guess how many levels the arr and hw story can get me when i'm starting at level 60. I tried google however this question is a bit specific and i got no useful results. I figured if someone already knows or has a good idea it would save me a lot of research into each quests exp and other factors and having to add that all up to whatever amount id need at each level from 60-70 D:

I would guess somewhere between 0-1.

You would reach level 70 before you were even done if you throw in doing roulettes.

Have you ever made an alt before? I think you're underestimating how much time it takes even with skipping everything. I've made about 5 alts up to HW. It's not fast.

You wouldn't get any meaningful amounts of experience until late in Heavensward, so maybe two at most, depending on how many sidequests you did. More if you're doing daily roulettes and the challenge log, but that's outside of the original question.

I have made an alt and done the story a second time, however i will admit that it was only up until early heavensward. I know the story is a long process i just feel like it would be a nice step back from the constant daily HoH/Potd/dungeon spam i have been doing lately. I don't want a break from the game, just that i feel like if i see any more of the same old methods i've been using i'm going to be sick lol. I heard someone told me they did the same thing i was thinking and they told me just from entering one new map the exploration experience was like 200k. Which is quite a bit if you consider all the map locations to unlock. I want to ask them what level they got to overall, but i haven't seen them online in a few weeks =S
