There is no other way to 1-85 faster than the main quest and rb if u are lucky lol. grinding zones xp have been lowered to force ppl to use quest, grinding isn't an option for 1-85 last tiem i checked unless u got hunting xp boosts vp mentor etc. On fresh server 95% will quest cuz thats the only way to go 3% will be lucky with rbs and 2% will think they are faster by grinding and get mad when server get awakened before them cuz they miscalculated
sure.. sure.. exp is lowered and etc.. and yet i can make a toon 85 in <3h (without rbs) and some even with making quests and not even taking a break for smoke/lunch and etc grinding whole day and still cant make 85
those instances were farmed instantly with patch on ru 1h per instance idk what are u talking about ofc they are harder than easy daily pve activies but as 3 parties its much harder to fail, hope u know.
well dont tell ppl it takes 3-4h to xp 1-85 if its some secret trick lol why even bring it up? it will take a full day for ppl to 1-85 or more. less than a day is when u are free in the map zones are not crowded etc.3-4h u are using xp boosts/mentor vp etc or some scret trick.
What quests are you talking about? There is some kind of quest chain to level 1-85? Can you link it? All I found on wiki are those 50+ (900) mobs Q.
https://l2wiki.com/Levelling_guide_before_Awakening_40-84 Apparently theres a 1 billiong xp quest at lvl 1 somewhere but cmec doesn't wanna tell us
wow looks like this game is destroyed so much , even more than i though, ill still give it a try, but after i read those comments it feels like it is instaces and quests all the way, while old l2 was all about open world grind and choosing from tosn of various ways and zones to grind :| not to mention item crafting and dwarf uniqueness are dead :|
Dont forget the shots that u recieve from the quest. Since its new server and the adena drop rate is preety low especially if you dont hunt mobs and you kill rbs only for exp. Shots will give you a huge advantage on your faster exp.
Dont worry, there's plenty of these things in later stages. As soon as you hit that lvl 86-87, you can have fun with fairies, 90 at isle of souls and 95+ in cemetery. you can grind your *** off (+ there are daily quests related to those locations that give some gold and shots, latest update even came with 10-day adventure ... pretty good quest, make sure you dont miss it). There are locations focused on exp and others on drops. You get quite a lot of material drops in fairy camps, so you can craft your apocalypse weapon or TW armor. Dont give up before you try and remember - 1-85 is just a flashback to good old days, 85+ is a little different game
Fun is same but its moved, previous chronicles crafting and other low lvl activities was at 0-70 now its 85-95, then end game activities starts. Awakened chars are 100x stronger than normal ones that's why its pointless to grind on lower lvls I'm oldschool player also but more and more I read at wiki and forums the more I'm sure I can handle this "new L2" Getting to lvl 103+ is also great to discover all new content L2 Helios offers Have fun !
