There's probably been an old thread on this in the past, and I just returned to the game after a 2 year break... and there's all this chatter everywhere about astral burns, qufim burns, and level sync nonsense.
In the past, it was a matter of getting a nice PL through the basic area, mage burning the worms in Shakhrami (or Dunes), proceeding to Jeuno where you make Qufim pond PT, then the Delkfutt entrance PT, then the jungle phases (mandragora outside Kazham, then progress into Yhoator for tougher mobs, then upgrade to goblins), and bam you're ready for Garliage. Move on from there to Crawler's where finally people start having noteworthy abilities (a real tank! NIN 37)... and after Crawler's... etc etc etc.... AF starts as we go into Desert and Quicksands, then iirc moving into Sky! (okay, nowadays you go into Aht Urghan and kill the fire crawlers, yes, yes).
I am so sure this is absolutely outdated.
What's the best way to level up quickly nowadays?
Any input on ways I can get from 1-37 without finding SMN's to burn Koro tunnel, quickly? How has level sync changed the way people xp and since when (why) did Qufim become such a fast xp zone (20-30k/hr???? how??).
Thanks for the input.
