How to level a second job?

[Tarryme]

I won't to play the full story on one character but not on any alts I make. I found the story to be a bit of a slog up until around level 45. Then it started to open up and get better, or maybe it's because I am finally understanding and getting into the story, but I wouldn't want to do it more than once.

The game is not very alt friendly. You are better off doing the different jobs/classes on the same character as you don't have to do the story again and you have access to everything you have unlocked on that character.

That's because the story is different depending on which class you start with up until the level 15 quest. Then it has to introduce all the characters and the wider context of the world. None of that is very exciting but the way high points are created in this game is by first creating times where nothing exciting happens.

What makes it a bit of a slog isn't the story itself but the fact you don't unlock mounts until level 20, your mount speed starts slow, you need to attune to all of the aetherytes so you can't just teleport to a new area and having so many dungeons in ARR all packed together.
