Since I was a bit bored today I fully transcribed Zacras power leveling guide, easy to copy paste so you can put it wherever you want to. Keep in mind that this guide is intended to level up as fast as possible, especially in Normal/Cruel. Whenever you hit a new farming zone it makes sense to join parties, it also makes sense to have a few levels buffer here and there if you'd like to play it safe. The guide is intended for a rather safe ranged class in hardcore, you can probably run with a bit less health if you're ranged/summoner and will most likely need more with a melee class. Getting waypoints / having higher level characters help you out with bossfights also greatly increases your speed.

Estimated time for the entire Normal run: 3.5h

Farming Ledge from level 3 is inefficient since you are -4 in level. I think it is too risky, so gain a level or 2 in submerged (should be hard to avoid though!). The rest seems about right. I am not sure needing party is a good idea in such a guide, but I guess it is mostly for safety.
