Over the years I've seen so many posts saying that the gold sidequests give terrible XP, but it's simply not true. I'll admit they don't give a huge amount of XP but, from my experience, they give around 50% of the main XP of a FATE in the same area and some/most of them only take a couple of minutes to complete.
I'm currently leveling an alt character and while waiting for FATES I do sidequests (which is something I've done before - but this is the first time I really paid attention). I just did a sidequest that took around two minutes and gave me 12,090 XP. Then I went to a FATE that popped and it gave me 22,112 XP (excluding the XP from actually killing the FATE mobs - but I didn't do many of those because someone else was already there and got most of them, but I still got gold).
Two sidequests, at level, equal around 80% (if not more) of one FATE in the same area and they often have very cute little storylines and take very little time to do.
I honestly think that people who say they aren't worth doing are going back and doing old sidequests when they are ridiculously overleveled for the area. At level they can be surprisingly good for both XP, and the little extra stories about the zone add more to the game.
I know that doing a dungeon at my level would give massively more XP than either FATES or sidequests, but I don't enjoy dungeons on some jobs so I think that the sidequests need more love because they are closer to FATES for XP than some people think they are.
