No wonder everyone has diffficulties with monthlies...
I expect it will be a lot easier at high level. I went from lvl1 to lvl32 before I died to a crappy camera positioning thing (trees and bushes don’t fade which makes battle and jumping in such regions nigh on fatal – and combat in a small room/corridor is an exercise in blindness) but even before then the XP track didn’t show more than 12K.
The counter never seems to make any sense to me. I expect it’s not counting all XP awards or it’s simply buggered. 
It seems to stop progressing when you leave the current zone.
It is a lot easier at 80, though. One dungeon run (assuming rewards don’t bug…) gives you like 170k exp.

Crafting also makes it pretty easy as well. As long as you don’t jump off Rata Sum between craft and TP runs xD
