So after a ton of grinding to finally get to 20 I thought I’d write a post about ways to do it I found best. Which are not quite sufficient, so I hope with time there are more. Perhaps someone even got better tipps.
- Lamavora Frontier: Enter from Order Fort, then after a short walk there is one meadow with level 19 bunnies and spiders. It is the second quickest area to level which I found because there is many at one spot, so that works IF you are alone. Often I met people doing same though, and decided to switch the area else we’d both only wait for ages for respawns.
- Frosty Spit: The third best area imo to level, lots of Foxes, Dreygurs, level 19, but a bit more spread out. You’ll be fine finding them even if there’s one or two groups hunting them, too. Avoid the Stags, the AoE is a pain and will kill you often due to no way to get out of it (avoid fighting on the hills, there is not enough space to port to).
- Worms: High level worms are right after the “normal” worms in the desert, around the little Stonehenge area. While you get 400-500+xp from the other two places, solo, the worms give 800+, plus higher gear. This area is never free of players and literally camped on, because it seems to be the only area other than the wilds with lvl 20 mobs.
Luckily the spawn rate is very high, so you can just camp on a spot and kill “your” worm on spawn. It is much faster and less boring with a group of 2 or 3 doing this, but worm’s are decreasing faster, too. So with several groups doing this a time you either end up tagging each others mobs all the time ( = way less xp) or can’t even keep the chain up because they spawn very fast, but not sooo fast.
At first I found it annoying to see level 20s at the worms, who got no use for the xp (might well still farm for gear, though), or a level 14 who can get same amount of xp anywhere else, sure you get gear, but don’t think it’s of much benefit if it scales to level and you will be back here at killing hundreds worms with lvl 19, anyway.
But in the end of day you can’t ask that from players (I miss very few pieces of gear too and might return to worms), it would be an easy solution if there just were couple more places to find lvl 20s, outside the wilds, this is what I would wish for
Edit: Two more ways from comments:
- The Wilds: All mobs are 20 and there is at least one relatively safe spot for a lvl 19 player to level, see below (ty Kamina/Trikki)
- Dungeons (Tradu Mines): Try going for small groups, then walk out to reset and do it again - didn’t try myself yet, but if you can do it, a major advantage is that there’s no need to compete over mobs with other players (ty lemf)
Also devs announced more quests coming, some targeting levels 18-20, with next content patch (ty Riley_D).
