    Most efficient leveling strategy 50-60

    What in your opinion would be the most efficient leveling method from 50 to 60 for a dps ?

    I’ve heard people say PoTD ? Does this work for you? Based on experience most 41-50 runs end up in wipes

    I did mix of PoTD, Dungeon runs with my Squadron, and complete the weekly logs for Fates and Dungeons (you can get Dungeon Master log for running dungeons with your squadron).

    I haven't wiped on PoTD floors 41-50 yet. Even if I did get a wipe, I wouldn't let that stop me from running PoTD.
    If you have unlocked your squadron, and if they are high enough to do the level 50 dungeons and the level 53 dungeon, I would use those. I am averaging 17 minutes in the level 53 dungeon right now with me as a BLM and three squad mates with Offensive Mastery 3+. EXP per hour is pretty good.

    If first class just follow main story.

    If not, highest level dungeon / potd floor 51-60 ( if got unlocked ) / daily roulettes. / daily beast tribe quest / hunt Mark Bills

    Most Effiecient. Probably levelling roulette and alliance roulette every day.

    assuming average run times. probably be about 5-6 hours of play time to get 50-60. i don't think theres much more efficient than that.

    if you just want fast then yeah probably potd.

    The MOST efficient way is probably to have a premade party and spam whatever dungeon is most level appropriate with all possible exp+ buffs on (FC buff, food, that new earring, etc.), but that not usually feasible.

    53-60 definitely Squadron runs of Sohm Al. Bring food buff, the earrings and some battle squadron manuals. A full offensive-5 squadron can clear it in 15 minutes with instant queues. As a bonus you get a ton of grand company seals.

    Efficiency?

    1) Premade party > Highest level dungeon available > Use all EXP boosts possible

    2) PotD floor 51-60 spam

    3) Squadron dungeons > Highest level dungeon available > Use all EXP boosts possible

    I leveled every class to 70 using nothing but dungeon runs the entire way through once I hit level 15. I hit 15 doing hunting logs and a few low level FATES. I do that because:

    1. I hate POTD and HoH.
    2. It helps train your muscle memory for positionals as a melee since you can ignore them in POTD and HoH.
    3. They still give lots of experience.
    4. During dps queues I work on my gathering/crafting while my tank/healer queues are much faster.

    I like doing dungeons along with DRs. Simple and effective, plus you gets lots of seals. If you have RTB just 1 MSQ DR will take your from 50-53ish - if you have food buff and FC buff.

    @59 if you have no DRs for the day do Great Library. USUALLY it's ok, but mind you can still get groups that wipe on the first boss.
