Most people know that crafting is easy experience, for example levelling cooking 1-400 from level 2 after exiting prologue will get you to level 18 using a crafting booster, 14-15 without [undocumentated change that the crafting booster now gives player experience as well as crafting experience] and leveling another craft to 400 (though more expensive) will get you further to around 25-28 depending on use of booster yet again. You can expect 1-400 cooking to cost roughly 3g if you have close to zero materials, and easily as low as 1g if you'd been gathering 1-80 on another character. 1-400 on Armorsmithing for example is quite a bit more expensive; mostly due to the fact you need 280-300x Copper Ore and the way the game throws you out of zones where the nodes exist too early on, same goes for Jute Scrap where you need 280-300x though isn't as bad as salvaging higher tier cloth where Copper Ore doesn't exist still yields Jute often enough.
The main reason for this post though is just for anyone wanting to level an alt fast, has probably not been made aware yet of yet another undocumentated change that happened recently, they vastly increased the rewarded experience for completing a dungeon and in some (one?) case I'd say they over-buffed it. Take Caudecus's Manor (CM) on Story mode, in your average group will take 20-25 minutes to complete it and will reward you with 7.5 bars of experience on completion, that's ~8.2 bars factoring in exp for the kills and this scales with your level, you'll get the same percentage of a level no matter what level you are. This is made extremely fast if you're running it with an efficient group, the group I ran with managed to do subsquent runs at 9 minutes per run, essentially equating to a level every 11 minutes when factoring in npc travel time (at end), zone out/in time, collecting rumors event at the start, etc. Is also very stable money as the loot is scaling with your level
