Author's Notes

Hello, I'm Ronaldus Magnus from the Famfrit server!
This guide is a work in progress. I plan on adding some commentary and tips on efficiently using levequests to level up. I mostly am intending this to be a reference on where to find levequests of the approriate level. Enjoy!
4/23/17 Added a note to the level 30 DOW Leves.

Disciples of War and Magic

Note: DoW/DoM levequests are best spent for DPS classes typically. Tanks and Healers have no problems getting into dungeons which are better XP/Hr. That said, I like to run levequests as fast and efficiently as possible. Some levequests do not require you to kill every monster. Try to think of ways to skip killing monster and focus on the objective if possible. Avoid the escort quests. They take too long to complete.
Also, initiate your quests as soon as you pick it up. It's usually right outside of the town you pick it up at and running to the "zone" usually takes you out of the way of the objectives.
Level 1

  • Central Shroud - Bentbranch Meadows
  • Western Thanalan - Scorpion Crossing
  • Lower La Noscea - Red Rooster Stead
    Level 5
  • Central Shroud - Bentbranch Meadows
  • Western Thanalan - Scorpion Crossing
  • Lower La Noscea - Red Rooster Stead
    Level 10
  • Central Shroud - Bentbranch Meadows
  • Western Thanalan - Scorpion Crossing
  • Western La Noscea - Swift Perch
    Level 15
  • East Shroud - Hawthorne Hut
  • Eastern Thanalan - Camp Drybone
  • Western La Noscea - Aleport
    Level 20
  • South Shroud - Quarrymill
  • Southern Thanalan - Little Ala Mhigo
  • Lower La Noscea - Moraby Drydocks
  • [GC] East Shroud - Hawthorn Hut
  • [GC] Eastern Thanalan - Camp Drybone
  • [GC] Lower La Noscea - Moraby Drydocks
    Level 25
  • South Shroud - Quarrymill
  • Southern Thanalan - Little Ala Mhigo
  • Lower La Noscea - Moraby Drydocks
  • [GC] East Shroud - Hawthorn Hut
  • [GC] Eastern Thanalan - Camp Drybone
  • [GC] Lower La Noscea - Moraby Drydocks
    Level 30
  • South Shroud - Camp Tranquil
  • Eastern La Noscea - Costa De Sol
    I recommend farming out of Camp Tranquil doing the leve "Adamantoise Tears" at +4 since it's just gathering 5 eggs. Do "Black Market Down" if that isn't up.
    ~15000 XP per Leve (I estimated around 500k XP/hr) The bounty is worth about 2k XP. If you're going for xp/hr skip it.
    Level 35
  • Coerthas Central Highlands - Observatorium
  • Eastern La Noscea - Wineport
    In Observatorium the Levemete called "Cower to the People" can be done extremely fast. Just gather 7 piles of soil and avoid/CC the monsters. If It's not available, Necrologos is a good alternative. The sheep respawn very rapidly.
    Level 40
  • Coerthas Central Highlands - Whitebrim Front
  • Northern Thanalan - Camp Bluefrog
  • [GC] Coerthas Central Highlands - Whitebrim Front
  • [GC] Mor Dhona - St. Coinach's Find
    Note: Fastest way to Whitebrim for char's who are already past the 2.55 storyline is:
    Foundation ---> Gates of Judgement ---> Run West
    Otherwise teleport to Camp Dragonhead
    Note2: In Whitebrim the leve that seem to be the fastest to complete here is Necrologos followed by "The Area's a bit Sketchy"
    Level 45
  • Mor Dhona - St. Coinach's Find
    Level 50+
  • Foundation
  • From this point on you get the choice to use one allotment or 10 allotments. If you really don't plan on using allotments for anything and you have a ton to burn you can pump large amount of XP in a short amount of time. If you're short on allotments however, using 1 at a time yields more XP per allotment.Note: All Heavensward levemetes start in Foundation. They take you to all the level appropriate zones. After you complete a levemete from here you need to return to foundation to turn it in.

Crafting Levequests

Note: I recommend having a friend craft high-quality items for you to turn in. Find the levequest with the highest XP yield and have your friend craft that item. Makes it more time and cost effective. It's usually not hard to find someone willing to craft for you.
