How to level dps alts?

Just make sure you do your roulettes and your challenge log can help spice up it some you dont burn out. Potd or hoh and the 70-80 you can do trust if queues are long. Beast tribe in expansion is also good for daily exp. Squadrons isnt that great but may help if you are feeling burnt out at the lower levels, but then again you should just take a break if it comes to that.

Challenge log. Do as many entries as you can each week. And keep in mind that only the one that finishes an activity counts. So if youve done 4 fates on your main class, an alt class could complete number 5 for the bonus exp(or alternatively, avoid this - make sure you dont accidently give a good bonus to a class that doesnt need it).

Is doing low level fates via Level Sync efficient?

you can also run some dungeons with squadron, though it takes practice and time to get the squad mates up to par. I am talking independent, offensive, or defensive order level. Level 4 or 5 is what you want. Once you get there you can burn through mobs pretty quick.
as for fates it depends. ARR not so much unless you are waiting for queue or something. Lvl 60-80 (StB and ShB fates are ok xp, not the best but not the worst).
Roulette all of them even frontline. Cool thing you can swap from a dps you a leveling to one you are familiar with in PvP. If anything you get some wolf marks and ok xp.
PF for a specific dungeons for leveling as I see that from time to time still.

Make sure to eat food, fc xp buff, wear xp buff equip as well.

As people have said run the highest lv dungeon you can run. Complete the challenge log that pertains to battle class xp. Beast tribes, eat food, side quests if you haven't burnt them all on your main. Heck even though I avoid it like the plague MSQ roulette gives a decent chunk. Also front lines as you can que up on the job you want xp on and switch to your main or any other job you enjoy doing pvp on. Hunt log for any class/job that's from ARR up to level 50 and your company hunt log.

This is more for once you're level 50 and above, but I personally liked to do the roulettes with the quicker DPS queues - trial, alliance, normal raid, MSQ. Then I'd mix in beast tribes, Potd/HoH, daily hunt marks, and FATES. Frontlines is also a really good XP chunk, but the queues can be a bit iffy at times. I lived on a diet of boiled eggs since they are insanely cheap from an NPC, and all food gives the same XP buff.

If your "low-level job" is already 50: what I generally did was run beast tribes and solo hunts while queued for roulettes. I'd usually be done in the overworld right around the time the last roulette popped.
Generally 2-3 levels per day, in 2-3 hours.
With the added bonus that you could do these on different classes. So if you hate tanking, healing, melee, casters ... whatever in actual content - you can level them with the beast tribe and hunts, while doing roulette with a different class.

I always go fates/ect to 15, 2 runs of Satasha -> Squadron 20-60 -> HoH -> Trusts+Fates

The reason for HoH and Fates is you get decent exp and can make some gil on the side. The hairstyle from HoH loot sacks can be 1-2m and the housing items obtainable for 10-20 gems from having lv3 Shared Fates in each zone are 50-100k+

In general, you want to be doing the highest level content you have available to you. So, after roulettes you move on to your highest level dungeon, and you do FATEs at or close to your level whenever possible while waiting on queues. This does mean you have to actually upgrade your gear as you level, but you can do it.

How do I efficiently level a dps without being forced to run Palace of the Braindead? I highly recommend leveling a dps as your first character, as MSQs are the only efficient way to level a dps.

The Palace of the dead isn't really that great for leveling DPS, Heals, or tanks. PVP after level 30 during the day is by far the best way, sign up as what you want to level, then switch to your favorite PVP job inside. at lower levels you'll get 2 to 3 levels per run even if you lose, win and oh boy the XP. After that, Spam "MSQ Dungeons" and do Fates.
