    I join exp parties for leveling when I hit R10, and going from 1 to 10 can be done with 10 minutes of grinding, not even worth to pick up Leves for that.
    I use Leves for my gatherer though, but there is just so much stuff I do with my LS, I never make it below 90 either if I don't also craft for a while.
    With rested bonus and good practice, you can actually gain pretty decent exp, even on par with what an average exp party can do if you take in account waiting around town for party to form up travel etc. Don't get me wrong, a good exp party will still outdo someone while ACTIVELY exping, it's just usually it takes 30-40 minutes to form up...in that time I can earn about 50K in exp doing leves at 40+ camps.

    The trick is to solo your leves, and aim for completing them in about 5 mins or less. Also, keep yourself with in 2-3 levels of the leve. For example if you are rank 37, do leves at the 30 camp at +9 stars. For level 40 camps, your average completion bonus (for difficulty+completion is about 6K...some more some less). That's just for finishing the leve, add that to the exp you earned while doing the leve and each level 40 leve=about 10K exp. So for a level 49 character, you need to do about 12 leves to get to level 50. (If you set your HP at the camp and return to the city for the cost of 6 anima, you can have your level...which is the same amount you might spend on teleporting a party to a grind camp if you don't have the camp favored)

    I know you technically can get bigger exp returns if you can leve-link with people, however, I've never seen a group do their leves as fast as a person soloing them, so the solo person tends to out do them. Again, it also takes time to gather up etc, that you don't need to spend if soloing.

    Don't get me wrong, group exping is still the fastest and most effective route if you can group quickly and are in the right camp, not competing against others...but leves are a viable option for times when you just can't find a group.


    And I'm currently sitting on about 68 leves right now.

    Is it even possible to, after leaving the game for a week? a month?

    Edit: NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING. I love that I don't ever have to worry anymore~~~

    I'm just super curious!
    Battle leves take a bit longer than other leves. If you spam mining leves, for example, while doing nothing but teleporting back and forth...0 is pretty easy to hit. You can do 2 mining leves in around 5-10 minutes, which means 12 will only take you roughly half an hour. You only get 8 a day so yeah. Pretty easy.

    Anytime I think I'm making progressing trying to reach the 0 while making the most of local leves, I take a day or two off from leves and quickly find myself back up in 99 (and likewise, approaching 100 with anima).

    And now that quality plays a larger sexier role, I'm doing most crafting leves slower than before.

    That and I'm not going to bring the PC next to the TV to watch Netflix with others while crafting... or am I?

    Netflix is pretty awesome, do some crafting levels and catch up on your 'would never have watched this movie/tv show if I didn't have netflix' shows. XD

    I never hit 0, but that's because I am too busy. Life quit getting in the way. ;D

    Just a heads up in case you were not aware. If you link those leves you get credit for each link. one leve can turn into a decent bit of progress when group linking.
