Veterancy after 50

leveling this system after 50 is awful unless your ap ticks are massive

Usually takes 5-7 BGs to get one level. During mayhem with the alliance scrolls from the same track or using war tortes, you can get a level every 3 or so BGs whether you win or lose. The new battlegrounds weekend whitestrakes mayhem is meant to happen more often throughout the year, and each track lasts for 120 days, so leveling past 50 is pretty quick if you do a few BGs a day and then spam them during mayhem.

I hit 100 today. Did it entirely in bgs with two characters. This is the way.

Personally, I feel it's a reasonable and attainable amount considering the ~4mo duration and the fact that Veterancy progress benefits from Alliance XP boosts. 1-50 is super fast so even the most casual player can unlock the midway reward; it's nice that the 100 provides something slightly more exclusive for people willing to commit to the grind.

A lot of dedicated PvPers are already at rank 101; personally, I was 97 before the event started and quickly hit 101 thanks for the bonus AP in Cyro today. I don't PvP every day, but I do spend a few hours in Cyro a few nights a week. Just stock up on Colovian War Tortes and you cut the post-50 amount needed from 8.4mil AP (no buffs) to a whopping 5.6mil -- still a lot, but 5.6mil / 120 days is less than 50k AP a day. Go surf a zerg and you'll have that in no time.

I can sympathize with your frustration. Especially when there seems to be 95 days left to do them. (I think we started with like 135 or something?)

This means the following however:

If my math is correct, we know that each level is 168k AP per level after 50, so that means you need 8,400,000 AP to reach rank 100 from 50, assuming you don't have any boosts.

Lets say with boosts and this event on, you'd make that 8.4 mil much more quickly.

if you lost a bunch of bgs, lets say you earn 14k AP per BG, that would take you 600 bg matches.

If you won a bunch of BGs, lets say you earn 27k AP per BG, that would take you 311 bg matches.

EDIT: Like the above posters said, doing multiple BGs for 168k ap a day can get you there before the time is up, but it's still annoying. I'd say that's somewhere between 7-10+ BGs a day which can be time consuming to find if Mayhem isn't active.

Let's say you make like 5 levels of veterancy per day(which takes alot of hours for casuals like me who aren't "nerd efficient") that means you would make 840,000AP per day(lets just assume the boosts are all here and it just takes you less time to earn them) it would only take you 10 days of total playtime out of the 95 days we have remaining.

You can even be slower than this and earn one level per day and it would take you 50 days to get there from level 50. It's also much easier to get to 1-50 than it is to get from 50-100.

I think that... in retrospect, this is fine. 50 days for 50 levels.

Now this is assuming that you even have that much playtime, which us normie average workers do not always have that. I think the problem comes from how long you have to invest in both waiting to enter pvp, waiting to get to the places where AP ticks, and assuming that you have enough teammates to cap resources and keeps and defend your ground.

But i do think that 168k every other day is manageable for a semi regular pvper. Especially during Mayhem like there is right now.

I think it's honestly just a matter of how you want to spend your time in this game. If you want to spend all your current playtime getting there, that's what it'll take. You can't do other stuff, it *has* to be veterancy as a focus. Which the problem with that is that it takes away from you playing other parts of the game. People often underestimate how long it takes to do things in this game.

PS: i did quick maths, so any corrections where i fricked up will be met with appreciation.

I spend a couple of hours in GH just about every day and I’m just above 54 or something. AP ticks there are so low now with the fewer players, the ones I got today with x2 AP were about what I used to get years ago.

I don’t think I will make it to 100 before the Veterancy thing is over.

Mayhem is on so double ap and use scrolls or war torte 50 which is cheap and the levels will fly...

Pain is the weakness that leaves the body.

When you fell nothing you know you reached level 100

I agree, and also kinda disagree.

It's a big gap, and could do with a little bit of tweaking. But this also comes with Veterancy being aimed at PvPers. It's meant to last us 6 months. A lot of regular PvPers had it finished in the first couple of months.

Also, aside from two titles, ZoS have said everything will be returning some way. So if you don't reach rank 100 in 6 months, you're only missing two titles.

Finally, we get massive boosts from Whitestrakes (now four times a year) and Vengeance tests. I went from rank 90-100 during 8 hours of Vengeance testing, and I'm not good at PvP.

Try reaching 4 stars lol.

I'm not really a fan of PvP, but I want Style Pages from Veterancy rewards, so I created a "PvP build" for a few of my alt characters. To reach one level (after level 50), you need 4 (or 5—I don't remember exactly) daily wins (progress is better than just a win) in Battlegrounds. I’m a bad player, but “thanks” to that, I usually end up playing against other bad players, so it’s not that hard to get a daily win, switch character, and so on. If you’re not in a rush, gaining one level a day is totally doable. And as others have mentioned, thanks to this event that just started, it’s even better. I hope this event happens more often… And BTW, I personally play 4v4 competitive solo mode. It’s way better than the other BG *** shows.

I hit 101 in Veterency within less than a month of playing GH casually if you struggle to level veterency then you either

1.Don't like PvP

That takes a while but you have infinite time to do it, no deadlines.

I just levelled 1-100 from mobs as XP in IC. Levelling build and scrolls got me there pretty quick.

I think it can depend on how often you play & how long. I’m level 75, but have been running solo for the last couple of weeks, and only play for a couple of hours in the evening.

If you struggle, either join a group, or learn to read the map & zone chat so can move to where needed. And do all the repeatable quests you can. Bonus scrolls will help too.
