    Last I heard you cannot gain experience *at all* if your current level is 105. Which means you should definitely get your previous characters to 105 before getting current one to 105.

    I'm still wondering why anyone would want to level current to 105 before historicals...b:surrender

    Some people get R93 and become another cookiecutter DD, other people get R93 and get called out as serious threats. At some point, it's just not about gear anymore. - Qui

    I can answer, when you lvl your current to 105, book will close and won't be able to wake up and absorb exp any more. So, yes, lvl previous first. Besides you get way more points for previous.

    The way Demon book gains exp kinda answers the OP:

    Open Character tab, and complete any quest. You'll see the exp briefly goes into current level before being removed again and stuffed in Demon book.
    That means that if your current level is 105 and unable to gain exp, neither can Demon Book gain exp

    well this sucks.. Marengo - are you 100% sure? as far as i know noone tried this on sanctuary. and im 104 with 86% atm, my past is 105 and 103. reason i went 105 first on my last lvl is quite obvious - nation war buffs and lvl difference bonus in pvp - 3 lvls lower get reduced dmg on me :) like 99% go lvl past lives first, but thats only stat points, lvl endgame is way more important in pvp at least.. has noone tried it??

    I haven't heard of anyone doing it either. I'd poke around on my own server and test it, but I hardly have free time to play as it is.

    I don't know of anyone that is ballsy enough to even try it. 104-105 is a hassle in itself, and most people won't take the risk because of what could happen. Unfortunately, I doubt anyone in our version would have much of a clue. I've heard of this bug happening to players on PW-CN, and they were furious.

    I don't see why it sucks... You deal full damage on 105 players as soon as you are 103. Lvling previous life will give you 34 points (vs 5 if you lvl current).
    I'm kinda sure because it was officially stated in a guide for another pw version which has test servers (pwi doesn't, does it? :D). Even if it's not so, there is no harm in strongly recommending you to max out previous before current, since there is no real profit in your plan.
    3 lvls lower get reduced dmg on me :)
    Lvl previous and then current to 105 asap, problem solved :))
    Few weeks earlier, few weeks later... we play this game for years, it's not much of a loss if you suffer 2% more damage from 102 a little bit longer :D

    From what I gathered from calculating damage many times, the difference is not very significant. Sure you get extra damage (very very small) and reduction from being higher level, but you could gain higher damage from stat points leveling historical levels first, and it's not because of 3 level lower or higher, every level difference counts, even if it's only 1.

    Most people probably stay at 102 for having the advantage of 5% more exp from 105 mobs in PV until historical level is 105-105-102.


    for example :
    A and B has the same exact gears and build.
    A has 37575 defense , and is level 105 105 102
    B has 37575 defense , and is level 105 102 105

    if A attacks B, B's 37575 defense will reduce 90.259% of the damage dealt by A
    if B attacks A, A's 37575 defense will reduce 90.000% of the damage dealt by B
    For A to have the same advantage of B in term of damage reduction, A would need to have 38685 armor defense.

    So either A gets current level to 105 or increases his armor defense to 38685, and both will be equal. Damage from current level is not worth mentioning, 1 level only adds like 1 weapon damage, so 105-102-105 compared to 105-105-102 will be like having r9rr ring with 223 atk instead of 220.

    I bet 105 105 102 will deal more damage than a 105 102 105 with 29 more stat points (44-15=29, 44 is the stat points difference form historical 102 and 105, and 15 is stat points difference from current level), haven't really tested it yet, but it's very likely.
