Dark side has cookies?

Dark side has cookies?

No. That's just a rumor. They've never proven anything!

honestly MSQ if you're starting from ARR you will be level 55-60 by the time hit HW, once you m ake it to Stormblood you will be hitting about 75ish and probably be capped before Shadowbringers if you only level warrior other than that its roulettes and it can be even faster if you roll on a preferred / new world because of the road to 80 buff just realize once you hit 80 the buff goes away though. make sure to eat food and get in an fc for the xp buff as well.

only other way is probably buying the level skip books

That is not actually correct for 2 reasons:

1) NA servers no longer have preferred realms. This will change in the future but as of today, no North American server will give boosted xp. But people can choose to play on a different continent server, if they don't mind some lag.

2) Most of the quests between the end of ARR & Heavensward were removed. Now, you are lucky to be level 51 when you start HW in a non-preferred server with quests removed.

Completely wrong. All the characters I have created on Halicarnasus, Maduin, and Marilith are getting the Road to 80, as would any I created on Seraph if I'd done so. And all the characters I transferred (for free, on my other account) to Halicarnasus, Maduin, and Marilith got Road to 80 for 90 days.

This is not true at all. You're already 51+ by the time you hit Praetorium. Removing the quests did nothing since X.1~55 MSQ always gave 10k exp regardless of what level your job is. Most the experience you're getting post 2.0 comes from the duties you end up doing.

And if you grow the habit of doing leveling roulette every day, with only one job you're going to be at least 54 by the start of heavensward. In a non boosted server you can easily alternate between 2 jobs without falling behind the MSQ requirements.

Outside of dailies I would run the highest level dungeon you can since as a tank your queue should be relatively fast compared to others.
There are also beast tribe quests which can provide a decent chunk of experience.
Be sure to eat food for the exp buff and have either the FC buff active or use one of the scrolls from squadrons.
