So 40 minutes later, with no gear changes an no need to stop for repair, I was at Botonist Lvl 32.

I'll need to change gear at Levels 60, 70, and 80 if I continue.
Update: I returned to the Diadem as a Lvl 15 Miner, and this time used a company-issued Survival Manual.
Mining level 10 items on the nodes, I made 20 levels (to level 35) in 30 minutes.
Shortly thereafter, the Survival Manual hit its 500K XP limit.
