I'm sick of running the same instances over and over again. Is there any other way to gain substantial XP apart from doing these bounty hunter quests?

    Get married? Marriage Quest gives you a nice chunk of XP as well.

    In the beginning...

    PWI in it's infinite wisdom put in these things called "quests". They mostly involve flying to some new village every few levels and completing a series of these tasks and in return you get EXP, SP, REP and sometimes celestones and armor or ornaments.

    Also in Archosaur (and some other locations Tusk Town for example) there are NPCs from which you can buy Justice Quests - basically kill 30/40/50 mobs etc for a set amount of xp and spirit.

    At your level you could invest in an eso (or two) or some hyperstones and get a party together to do some zenning - ie go to an area with good mob spawns, round em up kill them rinse and repeat till your eso or hyper runs out.

    Once you get to 71 you can of course start getting into Rebirth Gamma runs which give a shedload of EXP, Spirit and coin (and those dumb chest of coins you can't afford to open but oh well..)


    So there were loads of ways to get EXP before BH but they all involve putting in a little time and effort

    All my characters are classic pwi characters and not no cash shop oracle/exp stone users like we all have today.

    here was and still can be the real pwi:

    1.quest
    2.grind air mobs for final exp.
    3.fb' fb' fb's
    4.around 60+ zhen everyday
    5.fb more
    6.cube of fate
    7.justice quest(rarely do them but they there and better rep than one man armies and exp)
    8.oh yeah..crazy stone.
    9.wq
    10..ohohoh never hear this anymore "forming fishing party"
    11.then rebirth came to play..but i rarely do those but would like to do more cause dailies get boring now
    12.aoe grind with cleric(love my wifey)

    yeah its sad my lvl of player is now lvling of dailies and what ever small amount of quest to do..rather do dailies cause the exp/awards on quest suck with very tiny exp.

    so what i do..i roll a new alt and start over to make game fun again and look for some damn action.'

    sadly once you get to level 40 all the grinding becomes a ghost town again so making alts doesnt help for long
    they should make options for bh's to be grind x mobs too b:surrender then maybe people would be out of instances more

    I remember the days when the ONLY daily there was to do was Crazy Stone, when Wolrd Quest came out it was ALL The rage! No one had ever seen that muh EXP for something so simple before. QQ You newbies have it so easy, and yet you STILL complain. Meh! I even remember the days before Hercs and Nixes were around, ... man those were the good ole days when this game was a grind fest and there was people everywhere. Certainly made PVP more interesting because you actually HAD to be outside in this beautiful world we call PWI.

    VERY painful memories b:cry, the times that when you died at 99%, meant that you had to grind another hour to get it back, or you are lucky to get into a FB squad :P

    The times that i was scared at a 9x wizard wtih my 83 barb, because good gear wasn't that easy to aquire. The times of AOE zhenning at nightscream, or burningheart. I was glad i got two molds on my barb back in the days, running 15 FB69 wined runs to get my tauran cape mold, and farmed all the wines, not buying them lol.

    Sigh......

    I remember flying over to the untamed fb19 and announcing you had a squad running call to duties. The whole squad was 5x and 6x. You get responses where ppl said could you please help me? And amazingly enough they were actually new players not someones alt. And they asked...politely.... and didnt just whisper and say kill the boss for me ok.

    15k-20k per run I dont remember. That was a big source of exp back then. Only thing I had in those levels were CS and fb runs aside from grinding.

    And ofc grinding parties were fun too. Even not zhenning or using eso's, just a nice rainbow squad for all the buffs plowing through foxwings. every 30 mins regroup rebuff and go back at it.

    sigh... miss that...

    back when you never saw a frost weapon, or a lunar weapon, and the highest levels were walking around in TT90 green armor that they farmed themselves.

    back to OP. I just spent a couple weeks leveling an alt from 40 to 60 on only BH and tideborn quests. aside from farming mats to get level 6 crafting skills the old fashion way and run fbs btwn 59 and 79 on my main all after i get home from work. More faster ways to get exp? what more can you want? quests, Tideborn quests that even gave me a few levels in the high 7x, CS, FBs, BH (I did a BH69 yesterday had all 3 bosses goin in thats 500k exp in a single runb:shocked), Frost (just got 20% at level 81 in 1 frost run and turning in quests and I cant even get the quests inside frost yet), Hyper exp which i believe stack with eso's. Seriously when you see level 100+ tideborn within the first month of a new expansion there is no need for more ways to get exp.
