There's really no other way to decrease the time it takes you to level (in certain locations, without 2x EXP). Eventually you'll have to take hours to level, no matter what.

1. Find a place that's cheap, don't kill your own economy
2. Make sure you don't overuse potions
3. If you're bored just take a break.
4. Try to get 10% an hour (under level 100 or so)

How long you can handle training really is up to your mental abilities.

The single most important investment you can make is a 2x card. Without one you'll go out of your mind from boredom. I am a high lvl, but I still lvl once every 2-3 days on 2x experience. At higher levels you also need safety charms. Beyond that, pretty much everything in Cash Shop you can do without.

If you don't have a lot of mesos to spend, play a lukless mage. Because of the magician damage formula, less of your power as a lukless mage is contingent on your equipment, and more on your lvl. Even if the best weapon you can afford is an average clean black umbrella, you'll still do fairly well. So, not having godly equipment is not as important. Also, mages hit multiple targets at once getting experience faster. A person I know calculated that he got as much experience per hour as a lvl 138 i/l as a 19x night lord who posted a video of himself training on YouTube.

Also, spend a set amount of time grinding. Like, 3 hours or 4 hours or whatever. Make sure you actually train in that time. It's very easy to get onto Maple and spend 6 hours chatting, and then you look a month later and you haven't leveled at all.

But 2x cards should really only be bought if you're over level 80. And even then, it may still be better to train without it.

Since he's a low level, (I'm assuming, because he said he just "made a new character") I would do some quests to help make leveling more exciting. The Maple Leaf quest that's currently available is a great source of EXP.

Buying 2x only at lvl 80+ is news to me. 2x doubles your experience at any level, and gaining experience is the only way you'll get to 80 anyway. While it might seem that you're not getting that much for your buck in the initial levels, you actually are. I used to lvl steadily for 4 hours a day, and I noticed that my lvl gain was steady, not diminishing, as I went up. I gained 1 lvl in 1 day, and eventually 1 in 2 days. Right now, at lvl 146 I still gain 75-80% on 4 hours of 2x, so roughly 2 lvls in 3 days.
