Best way to level?

[Laeelin]

We have a baby due in a couple weeks, so I have a lot of random AFK's right now - so no grouping. I'm level 12 (banked to 13 currently) and wanted to make sure I'm using one of the better XP/time methods...

The game has changed a lot from last time I reasearched best leveling methods (bravery and learning tomes), but here is my current leveling / questing method...

Greater learning tome is great! - I try to hit all quests at least once. I do less repeating of quests than I used to.

Bravery is cool, but solo first life trying for even hard at this level is slower than the xp gain. It's not worth it.

Quests 1 - 2 levels below me I run on normal. Quests 3 levels below me I run on hard if they were at least decent XP on normal.

I'm making a list of all quests in the level range I'm playing as I level up and make sure I hit each one at least once. The better ones I hit twice. There are a few I chain (necro II final) until I cant get any more XP from them !

For example: At level 13 I'll make a list of all level 12 quests and try to hit each one at least once. The better ones I'll hit two or three times. Then in a couple levels I'll to the better ones again hard.

Any changes I should make? I know my leveling is about to slow down as I level up..

EDIT: I'm a PM. I don't mind using hirelings, but It's normally faster to just run without them or to park them at the quest entrance for mana.

EDIT2: I sometimes do all the rares / explorers in wilderness areas. I do this when i'm going to have less than half an hour playtime.
