I don't recommend bumping levels in short cut fashion. Levels aren't worth as much as skills are. I've been playing the game on expert and when I hit arnika (direct from the Monestary) I was "only" level 8 or so, BUT my bard had a skill of 75 in music. The reason is that the battles last longer. Longer battles means more chances to use your skills. The ONLY advantage to leveling is getting your core stats (str, int, etc...) up. Other than that, being a higher level just means that you face harder monsters.
