Well?
Currently I'm grinding in the Lhusu Mines @ 35 hours game play, avg lvl 27. 4 Chars have 3 Quick, 2 have 2 Quick. Won't take me much longer for the other quickenings at the rate I'm gathering cash.
These are what I'm going after

Monographs can be very useful in increasing the rarity of the drops. Here is a list of all the monographs that you can get along with what you need to do to unlock them. When you unlock them they will appear as Forgotten Grimoire until you buy it.
Dragoon Monograph (Increase drop rate of Dragons & Plants) - Read Mob hunt bulletin board 40 times (22000 gil)
Hunter's Monograph (Increase drop rate of Monsters & Birds) - Clear Thextera Mob Hunt and talk to the client at the Muthru Bazaar (18000 gil)
Knight Monograph (Increase drop rate of Giants & Insects) - Talk to any weapon shop owner 30 times (19000 gil)
Mage Monograph (Increase drop rate of Magical Enemies) - Talk to any magic shop owner 25 times (25000 gil)
Pot Monograph (Increase drop rate of Arcana Enemies) - Sell of certain Loots to unlock (250000 gil)
Sage Monograph (Increase drop rate of Spirit Enemies) - Talk to any shop owner 100 times (25000 gil)
Scholar Monograph (Increase drop rate of Specialist Enemies) - Talk to any armour shop owner15 times (22000 gil)
Warmage's Monograph (Increase drop rate of Undead Enemies) - Read Mob hunt bulletin board 20 times (20000 gil)
This is the method I'm using:

This is the best tip you will ever read in the beginning of the game for Power Leveling!
Location: Lhusu mines
Requirements: none!
Aids: Golden Amulets for 2x LP(Obtain at Eruyt Village from the kupos after finishing the Henne Mines). Forgotton Grimoire (costs 20,000 credits, aids with loot drops for the undead. obtain by viewing the hunters board in a pub 20 times, and will unlock in the bazaar).
Head to the Lhusu mines and travel to the 4th area in the mines, Which is called the Shunia Twinspawn. It has about 17 undead spawns in that small room. Yeah, its Kill Chain time! (Kill chains increase loot drops and the chance for rare loots. in this case, Iron helmets).
After those foes are defeated, head to the next area titled Site 2. About 15 undead are in here, kill all of them and head back to area 4, the Shunia Twinspawn. Kill all of those undead again! by this time we should have a rockin kill chain of 47.
Head back 2 areas (Oltam Span) without killing anything to ruin our kill chain. The purpose of heading back two area's is to reset the Shunia Twinspawn so we can repeat the process. So hold the Flee button (R2) during these areas.
Try to get a kill chain of about 200 (takes like 15-20 minutes). then head back out to any merchant and sell your loot!
Heres what you will have:
99x Bone fragments = 19k
10-25 Iron helmets = 6k-17k (this greatly depends on whether or not you have the Grimoire for the undead)
88x Dark stone = 2k
So basically, anywhere from 25k through 42k in just 15-20 minutes. And if you have the Golden Amulets (2x LP), about 400 LP and leveled your characters once or twice.
Additional Tip: Remember, your characters in reserve also earn LP, so equip them with Golden Amulets too.
