I'm 45 right now, and I'm already dreading the climb to 50...it seems that the Boat 5 missions don't really give that much more XP than the earlier ones, and they are much tougher to boot (I can't solo any of them)
I managed to get to 44 relatively easily thanks to Hidden, but I'm thinking that if getting to 50 is tough, I can't imagine what getting to 60 would be like...
Are there any other Hidden-like missions later? (High XP, short runtime) Maybe Irkul...have to be 51 first though.
What do you guys do for XP? Am I doomed to run Hidden forever?

Yeah Hidden is best place for grinding EXP currently, but hey what's the rush? Next patch won't be until summer I believe, so take it slow~

45 to 52 was real fast for me. They give you so many quests it's ridiculous.
Well, I sorta had a problem going 50 -> 52, but at that point I still had a lot of quests that were still giving 20+ AP, so I just solo'd a bunchl of them until they gave me 15 or so and leveled that way.

Leveling is knida slow, but the ridiculus drop rate for mats makes it not really matter.

I kinda abused the events to get to 50, then started using the quests to get to 52. If another event comes around, that's your chance man. I'm saying it now, those things are gold.

Couldn't use the event, was out of town for the update. Oh well, it sucks that there is no Hidden 2...:(

Oh yeah, I forgot about the events. Got me one level from spamming Hidden for each of my two mains.
Still, leveling wasn't too bad.

I noticed the slow down pretty much after lvl 44, I figured it was normal since its another "in between" lvls like 25-30. The quests seem to be sufficient to getting me from lvl to lvl, but I'm not exactly a fan of the new maps and boat 5 in general. Uh, I used the events to help me lvl from 39 to 42 now it's mostly grinding.
I guess, I decided to take things at a slower pace and just ... go fishing in my free time. The new update won't be here until the Summer 2011 and all. I did see quite a number of lvl 50+ characters wandering around town, so this could be my slow lvling problem.

Grinding hidden in a duo party as someone said is pretty fast from 41-45/46. You're getting 50k xp in like 3 minutes. Then you can change over to boat 5 where they give a quest overdose with HIGH xp rewards (50k-80k per turn in quest).....yeah i don't think it slows down til well into the 50's.

I was AP-capped when the update was released so I spammed Hidden to get to 48 in order to stop wasting AP. Then I spammed it more during the events. Now I'm lvl 55 and I haven't tried Irukul yet. Just got the quest to make the royal cadet set last night.
I don't think it's too bad since there are so many new battles and quests.
If you can solo Hidden well, you get ~70k exp for doing so on Season of Macha. Usually take me about 8 minutes total on my Fiona.
On another note: Hidden on Hero mode is some fun stuff! It's like playing it in fast forward, except he's the only one moving faster.

This was a royal pain. I duo'ed it with a sword lann buddy and my scythe evie. We weren't able to complete it within the time limit. I wouldn't say it was like playing in fast forward because he has a RIDICULOUS amount of HP...making the battle significantly longer than any setting on Normal/Hard.

Thanks for all the replies, it's good to know the quests give good XP. It's a bit sad to see that Hidden is still the best source of XP, though...
What's a good level to start soloing Hidden? I still find it pretty hard at 45.

Any level is fine. It's not slow at 41, but most definitely faster at 51.
Just learn the AI. Some stabs will get you, but if you have good armor/reflexes, you'll be fine.

-looks at all the people I know who are almost 60-
Hmm...either they grind way too much or something's wrong with my leveling cause I'm finding it hard to level to 41 so I can do hidden, haha.
