Campaigning for exp

[likard]

Hi all,
I have a somewhat simple question that I feel might have a less than simple answer. Is there a good guide for how to efficiently use campaign to get decent exp/hour? I understand it won't beat some party exp rates, but I am interested in trying it as I find my time limited to less than would be useful for a party. As it is, when I do campaign ops, I receive 200-400 exp and campaign battles have, at best, yielded 900 exp for an hours time. I have read the math wiki on the things that contribute to experience, but have not been overly successful at manipulating the system to benefit myself. Yet, I have heard people talk about easily getting 5k an hour campaigning. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Effective way to do campaign on BLM

Lot of useful info in these threads already.

TL;DR - job that can melee, cure, tank (SAM/DNC, PLD/DNC) rakes in the xp by performing multiple categories of actions at the same time. Mages, spam enfeebles on Fortifications ... and melee.

Haha that sig rocks.

I can get 3 or 4k/hr pretty mindlessly on 71WAR/SAM or /NIN just battling (windurst allegiance), make sure to grab Aegis Scream every time you head out. I'll be changing to San d'Oria as soon as I rank up.

Have you tried campaign battles? All you posted experience in was ops, which aren't great.

Ok, thanks. For some reason I thought there was a lot more complicated math behind it. I had been told that you have to spend some time ranking up to a certain rank, then do so many ops a week to ensure you get the most exp per campaign battle.
The other part I had been told was that you can cash out mid battle and cash back in if you reach the exp cap for what you can contribute. But is seems most people don't post much on how to do that efficiently.

I've been campaigning nightly. Assuming 1 campaign/night during the 5 day rankup cooloff, I've been ranking up as soon as able. Rank definitely helps exp earned, so I suggest you focus on that.

I don't really cycle tags ever. In fact, only time I even choose to cash in is when the battle is obviously over and everyone's standing around. I may lose a little exp that way (?) but I get to the next fight quicker.

That's a good point. Does anyone cap out on xp/notes at the higher ranks since the latest rewards adjustment?

On SAM/dnc I'm usually slightly over the XP cap just on one tag, but only barely.
