Looking for some tips

VileBlack - Archosaur

Hello everyone.

We all know that hypering in frost is disabled. I look at this as a positive thing and have read all the flame threads about it. I have leveled a little in there and it was nice, but I was never one to spam it. My main is level 98 and I have been trying to get to 100 for quite sometime now(even before the frost fix).

I see many people talking about how easy it is to level to 100+ and am wondering if there is something I'm missing. I try to do BHs, Morai dailes(is there more than just the timed quest and devine emisarry?), and base quests. PV doesn't seem too possible for me because whenever I have tried forming a squad in WC or replying to an invite for it(95+), the squad never gets more than one or two people. Maybe it is a timing issue??? I don't mind working for anything or grinding, but seeing so many people talking about how easy it is, I am curious if there is something I am missing. I also do quests, but the exp. isn't that good and my list isn't too full anymore.

I will be fine sticking to what I am doing, but if there was something I am unaware of, I would really like to know. As I said, I've been around for some time now and know my character well. I have all my gear/rep ready and would like to be able to use it. Thanks in advance to any replies!

- Crazy stone in Morai (at lvl 98 it's where you get it).
- Wraithslayer Missive (Super easy and fast to do, weekly, restarts on mondays).
- You can use your influence in Morai to buy exp up to 2M exp per day.
- Realm of Reflection.
- Treasure hunting (This costs 88k coins though but, if you're lucky, you can get a lot of exp AND reputation from it).
- FB tabs, help you faction mates with their FBs, good exp and rep (though, of course, you won't get a chance to get in those all the time).

Appart from what you already said plus what I listed, at the moment I can't think of other stuff. Will post more if/when I remember b:cute

Good exp but once a week..so really sucky exp.
- You can use your influence in Morai to buy exp up to 2M exp per day.
This is great..well once you built up a lot of the points to get the stuff.But if not then really its fail (
- Realm of Reflection. This does nothing that much to your % bar lol,your power bill will be greater.
- Treasure hunting (This costs 88k coins though but, if you're lucky, you can get a lot of exp AND reputation from it). This is fine..if your bored,you could be more productive by just grinding mobs.
- FB tabs, help you faction mates with their FBs, good exp and rep (though, of course, you won't get a chance to get in those all the time). FBs..yeah if your like pwi 2008-2009 other than that you wont have much customers.

I can think of more stuff but I gotta go to work

Since the posts above me already mentioned practically all viable remaining options:

Most flamers are saying it's so easy because they leveled to lv100 in a very early stage of this 6 years old game. Back then reaching lv90 or 95 was seen as a top-notch achievement, when nowadays that's the equivalent of lv30. It's mostly lack of putting things in perspective and living in the past that makes them say it's easy and fast leveling. It's best to ignore them and see for yourself how "easy" leveling is in the game's current state. It's possible, but it takes days if not weeks for making any progress compared to in the past.

At your level, PV really is the one mayor EXP-gaining daily. Even doing all quests available, BH, cycle, WQ, Morai, Faction Base, will be doubled by 1-2 succesful PV runs with hypers ofc. If you're in a faction with people your level/lv100, you could try to make daily squads with them, it's a worthwhile effort to make.

If you take a cog as reward, you don't get exp (along with page of fate). Haven't done cube regularly for more than a year, but as far as I remember, farming cogs slowed me down significantly in lvling since it was one of my main exp sources back then.

One thing that is often forgotten about is zhenning.

In a couple of the other threads I've mentioned that you can get from 1-80 in about 4 hours. Here's how.

First you'll need three toons. A Seeker, a Cleric, and a puller. (You can use a wiz in place of the seeker, but only if they have very good pdef. I usually pull with a veno/pet but a barb or bm works fine also.)
Now, for the best effect, you'll want the Seeker to be level 80, but no higher than 85. The cleric just needs to be high enough/geared enough to heal, and the puller should be fairly sturdy for both phys and mag attacks.

The place: PV1 area, right in the Pit with the boss. Now if there's anyone doing PV, setting this up will be rude. Be considerate of your fellow players.

For the best effect, you'll have the Seeker and the person being leveled in one squad, and the puller and the cleric in another. (You can throw them all together, but that will dilute the exp distribution.) Buff everyone up completely before hand, of course.

Basically you're going to drop the seeker into the middle of the pit and hit Vortex while the cleric IH's them from above at max range and occasionally purifies. You can park the lil toon in the air next to the cleric so they aren't in AoE range of the boss. Then you just have the puller run around and bring the mobs into the Vortex.

Unfortunately, you're limited to one hyper session a day, so it will take 4 days to run it unless you already had a full session stacked previously.

Overall costs are typically about 150K for the Seeker in repairs and pots, and about 40-50k for the Cleric and veno.

In higher levels there are plenty of other areas where you could set something like this up, but the botting system has kinda screwed with it.

This game is designed to have you forever chasing goals just out of your reach.

Just how fast do you expect to get to 100? A day, a week, a month, or two. What is reasonalble to you?

If you do your dailies, a BH or two, in a couple of hours gameplay a night, you should be netting about 2-3% of a level. Depending on where you are level wise, you can hit 100 in 2 months or less with no muss, no fuss (paying extra for hypers, etc.).

I won't be surprised if OP people start selling PV.

But once you reach 100 is not over, next its either rebirth or 101, and cards, and titles, of course endgame gear.

It is the journey friend, not the destination.

You cannot do cogs and exp rewards without using a cof. And if yu use cof you are best off getting 2 cogs and not exp.

Ppl have been selling PV for ages. Both runs and openers, whatever you wish. And you don't need to be OP to run it. There are a lot of vids on youtube with ppl soloing it in nv2+8 gear. Risky, but possible. The better your equip is, the safer and more comfortable your runs are. You just need to find that balance between worthwhileness and comfort when your gear is appropriate enough to do it.

I am by no means expecting it to be extremely easy or fast. The time it takes is the time it takes. I've been around off and on since 2009 and if I really wanted to, I could have been a hundred a long time ago. I agree 100% about it being the journey, the main reasons I want to get there sooner than later now is because I have all the gear I've been working towards and would like to use it. There are definitely other things to work toward, but this is my main focus at this point and was seeing if there might be something I'm unaware of. Thank you for your reply and thanks to everyone for the replies. I will keep the grind up and try some of the listed suggestions. See you on the battlefield.

As long as i can get a toon to 70 i really dont need to do any extreme lvling after that due to me collecting brain orbs from bh2,or culti orbs i rarely get anymore unless they took those out.

I lvled this toon to 70 then used about 200+ brain orbs and like 50+ culti orbs to lvl 95 and thats for normal exp.So now im stacking again for my next toon that will be ra'ed.Though i think a missive would be a instant lvl 40 for a new ra alt wich is nice.

Lol i have actually lvled some toon off of making crazystone shards

He asked for other ways and said he doesn't care about what you have to do to do them.

Also, RoR gives good exp, specially now that they gave a couple of radiant shards, all you have to do is be AFK and get exp, every bit helps. BTW, electricity is already billed on my rent and I pay the same amount either I use a lot or not, so, personally, that is not an issue for me b:laugh


About the treasure hunting quest, just the first map gives 30k exp and 25 rep, and, like I mentioned on my post, IF you're lucky and get the next maps you can get a lot of exp, and tbh, I personally find the quest fun.

Lastly, about the FBs, I see a lot of FBs popping up on my faction chat. Of course if you are on one of those super OP over the top factions where everyone and their moms have done everything there is to do about questing then... yeah, you won't see many of those.

Anyway, that is your opinion, I replied to the OP with my opinion and advice since he said he didn't mind any type of grinding/work b:pleased

Some of those ways are fun, others are a bit boring, but hey, it's all part of the journey. Honestly, from time to time I still have a lot of fun in PWI, but I can tell you my "fun-o-meter" dropped a lot when I reached 100.

And it's good to see someone being polite and thankful about the suggestions instead of dismissing them and being rude (like a certain "R9 in a year" thread that someone else made b:laugh b:laugh)

Quoting myself from the big thread at the top:

Eoria wrote:

Basically now at 97 non-rb, my alt cleric is getting:

3% from BH 1/2/3 altogether
~8% a night from Reflection ('cause botting on it is annoying)
~20% from two runs of 95+ PV
idk, I guess about another 4% from Morai+Crazy Stone?

So lets go with about 35% a day.

Basically, I hope you have a 100+ friend that can just run you through PV.
