Grind: open world or dgs

[Madsage]

Using Holy Nova is usually a waste of mana, if you are doing SM pulls where you can use holy nova and survive instead of spamming Flash Heal you are severely reducing your exp/h

Once you can start doing Library questing should never be faster than aoe farming, with exception being last 2 levels before you get a new rank of arcane explosion.

This is where low level mobs give too little exp and high level mobs die too slowly and you risk dying when pulling more than one group, so this is a good time to go questing and do all the good ones to level up quickly.

I think this is especially noticeable between 44 and 46, when you start doing Zul Farak, mobs there are pretty tough and it becomes so much easier with rank 5 AE at 46.

From 50 to 54 aoe grinding is really fast if you do the inner circle where the dragonkin are, they are level 49/51, you have 10 packs in just one room and they hit for way less than same level mobs in BRD, and from 54 you farm BRD until 60.
