1. Both is quite fast, seeing as how you get base exp from every hit you do, and TM exp for every kill.
Quests in Trickster are quite basic, collect x ammount of items, kill x ammount of these. so you'll still be grinding on monsters while doing quests.
You can get to lvl 100 in less then a week which is pretty good I suppose.
2.Those maps are great for TM exp but like always, people usually do as many TM quests as possible to keep up with there base level.
3.I would have to say the buffalo or bunny, they're your basic warrior class, run straight up to a monster and just melee it to death.
4.Drilling is a big part of this game, a bunch of quests require you to search for items which can only be dug up/or bought from players that dug it up.
its also a nice way to lvl up your TM at early levels.
5. yes its amazingly easy to lvl up if you know what you're doing.
if you follow through the episode quest from lvl 1
(using the help of wiki's http://wiki.ggftw.com/trickster/Main_Page), you can basically hit lvl 30 in just a few hours.
Later on say...about lvls 50+ you should be 1-3 shotting every monster you see, which is pretty great.
keep in mind at lvl 31 you can join/create parties, there are different types of parties, ex. royal parties which cosist of all class types, so..power,magic,charm,sense which will give bonus exp, and being able to turn off the exp share so every
person gets there own exp with an exp boost from parties is great.
