This time around I leveled my main doing the msq and side/job quests as I went. Fairly painless with some guild hunts thrown in. Then I tackled my 2nd in command, a healer. I finished up incompleted side quests leftover from EW (about 1x level) and did guild hunts for a couple of weeks to get her from 81 to 90. Now faced with a smn and blm to get from 70 to 90, I ain't doin it. Done and done, they can sit there hehe. It is of note that I stopped doing dungeons after the forced ones in the msq. Got tired of the toxic behavior long ago and trusts usually don't cut it. Just not a dungeon runner for xp anymore.
