I get my characters to around lvl 10 or so. But I leave my characters afk for a day to get them past the time they need to be able to trade. That way my syrups makers or characters that make sp food can send stuff to the character so they can start bursting right away ^^ Otherwise I have to sit around and DROP all the food then have the alt pick it all up x.x and I'm just not in the mood for that XD
