Game has dozens of playable classes

New person here.
Do all new classes get this exp boost event?
Also, how much slower is a non-event character to level. I kind of want to try monk but if its going to take me a month to cap I might just stick with event scrubs.

They don't release new classes too often.
They keep this boost leveling thing after the event. Still limited to two characters a month.

Wait they have two event characters a month? Do they just rotate old classes?

You can only do fast leveling like two times a month. But even then it takes maybe a week to hit cap if you're bad. You don't have to grind dungeons or anything anymore, just do the baby mode Scenario quests, but you also have to actually get/buy the materials for stuff like Sub-Equipment slots, Earrings, 2 Awakenings, etc. I actually didn't have enough Obsidian to fix the Magatha to get to Suju so I had to buy that shit off the Auction House for one character. This is why you pick up everything.

You can use it for any class.

Level cap is only a few days whether it's fast leveling or slow leveling. Might take a few additional days on a regular character but nowhere close to a month. I'd expect not even a week.

It's not that there's two event characters a month, the way it works (at least in korea) is that you can put two characters of your choice per month into the fast-track leveling system like the current event characters get. We may get that or something similar when the event ends. They haven't confirmed it but there's loading screen tips about it so it's very likely.
