I've just started playing last week so I'm new here. Started as THM then swtiched to Lancer cause I thought melee dps seem cooler more to do. At first I was struggling big time especially from lvl 1 to 15 with just hunting log. Then I realized I can do battle leve quest which gave me huge EXP. I was able to catch up to my level 37 BLM in a day and continue the MSQ. Not sure about training BLM at higher level but for me atm doing Battle Levelquest while queuing for duty seem to be really efficient thus far. I could be wrong.
