What is the quickest way to level up?

Short Answer

The quickest way to level up is your MSQ and Job Quests, if you have not done those yet, for all jobs. Until level 15, Hunting Log definitely helps. For Healer & Tanks the quickest way to level is through daily roulettes and highest possible level dungeon. For DPS the quickest way to level is either:

• Highest Level Dungeon + Fates
• Squadron Command Missions
• Trusts (in ShB)
• POTD/HoH
