Options of Leveling?

Istyar

Hello guys!

I came back to the game last week and I'm having some problems to find places to level up.
I already did every quest I could find (970 quests on my Achievement Marker), all dolmens, world bosses, all public dungeon quests and bosses, in other word, I did everything soloable on the game.

Back in September, they used to do Balamath runs and Wayrest Sewers to get a nice amount of XP/Hour, but yesterday I couldn't a single group for anyone of the Vet Dungeons using the group finder tool nor could I find a group to do something in Craglorn, in matter of fact, I tried to talk with someone in the area chat while I was in Craglorn and I got no response.

Well, I'd like to know where are all people? Where are people leveling? What should I do to level my VR12 since I can't find groups and already did pretty much everything I could do by myself?

Note: Please, do not get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the game nor the players, I'm just lost, cause I've been out for a while and the game changed a lot.

Well, Craglorn is a good option. You just may not have been on at a good time.

But group finder is either broken or no one is using it (it's still not entirely clear how much of the "broken" is just its incredible lack of popularity). Your guilds and/or capital city are a good place to search for dungeon groups in zone chat if you want to run those.

I find it odd that you couldn't find someone to do Wayrest (as that was the Vet Pledge), or Craglorn. Craglorn chat, while not crazy busy, always has some activity and people looking for groups for delves or for Skyreach (which is a popular spot right now). At least that's in NA EP.

The good news is that in today's patch they are upping the level of Cyrodiil mobs to V12 and increasing XP for killing players in PvP, so Cyrodiil should become a viable option for V10+ players to level.

Actually when I left the game last year, I had 5 active guilds (2 of merchanting and 3 of PVE) but they do not exist anymore.

So, where in Craglonr do people level now?

Well lets see, personally I didn't take any breaks in playing this game.

I don't exploit (grinders) and don't give me the old sad song its not an exploit if the game lets you do it.

I leveled up quite slowly, partly because I enjoy the content, partly because its not a race to see how fast I can get to max level.

I had no difficulty in gaining VR14, it just took awhile.

Relax play the game have fun.

If the devs didnt want us to get xp by killing mobs, they wouldnt have coded xp as a reward for killing mobs.

I find it hard to find a group via the tool, and when i find a group they may not even be willing to jump into a dungeon directly but are busy questing or doing other stuff since they've been waiting for ages and sometimes even have forgotten they were queued.
Which makes dungeon runs at early Veteran levels very frustrating since i am trying to avoid questing as much as possible by now, since it makes me hate the game way too much than it deserves as a whole (and it REALLY is just the quests that annoy me).
Mournhold is full of v14 lfg's in chat, but almost no early veterans available.
It needs some fixing but also a lot more incentive to be used by everyone, such as a reward for queuing up for "all" dungeons and a daily one time reward for using it.
At least one other MMO did it and it increased the group finder popularity there massively, and i don't see how it could do any damage here.

True. ^

But when I left the game, there was no VR14 levels, only VR12 that's why I'm still VR12.

Anyway, I cannot "enjoy the game" cause I already did every soloable content available for me to do. What's left? Grind. What I want to know is where I can grind 2 levels, just it.

They have increased the given XP from trials with today's patch significantly. Perhaps you should try a run.
