We think we'll choose an area and do the starter quests, and just kind of go from there--hit up dungeons and such as we hit the level, and work on FATEs and logs.

Maybe we'll have to pick up Heavensward sooner than we think for the boosts. But at the same time, we'll still need to do all the content anyway, and the hard part is just the travel (at least for us).

Hm, we'd most likely stay grouped, so I guess doing battle leves as well as running a bunch of FATEs as we come across them (and trying to do as much of our log as well) will help.

In my experience, battle-leve and guild-leve quests are the way to go to level the quickest between 15-30. I find that I like to do battle-leves from 15-20 in Drybone (Eastern Thanalan) and then there's a guild-leve guy there also that will take you from 20-30. Depending on your GC rank, the guild-leves can get you a level every 8-10 quests, and each one takes 3-5 minutes, is all, so you can knock them out very quickly. You also get weekly challenge log bonuses for completing 5 different leves and 20 total leves so that's a nice bump as well.

Downside of leves is that you you can't do GC leves in a group, not even your chocobo companion. On the other hand, they give lots of GC seals.....

Great to see you made it to Haukke! Probably one of my favorite dungeons in the game.
So, here's some good news, your second class will not take as long to level as your first. Why? Because any class you have that's lower then your higher gets more experience. My advice is quests, leves, FATEs, hunting logs, challenge logs, and Guildhests.
Some other good news, (presumably but could just be that way no matter what) if you have Heavensward installed, every main scenario quest in A Realm Reborn will give double experience, you will receive gear in post 50 quests so no gear grinding, you will be able to enter dungeons and trials with LESS players if a premade and no level syncing if you choose to, AND if you queue for a dungeon or trial for the first time you get priority.
Only for A Realm Reborn content but basically once Heavensward drops, you should be able to play from the beginning of A Realm Reborn to the last quest of A Realm Reborn without having to do any or many side quests.
