Easiest VR Leveling: Solution

Swainburg

Hello!

Before I begin, I would like to address any potential hate mail:
"I was desperate"
Thank you.

I have been anxiously awaiting VR 14 for ages now, it seems. Few people know about this method, but trust me, it works, although slower in smaller groups. The ONLY reason I attempted this was because my friends, my healer and my DPS seem to level so much faster than I. I tried grinding, but I hate it. I can't focus for more than 3 seconds on anything, so why grind for an hour for half a level? A solution to this, is to not grind at all, because blatantly, grinding sucks.

In order to not be confusing, I will explain the theory behind this.

If you kill an enemy, you get XP. So, if you kill an enemy without actually having to be there, can you get FREE XP??? I guess. So, the more you kill it, the more XP you get. So if you and a friend (I stress this friend because it doubles the efficiency) can quickly kill an enemy with an attack that can just be pressed and held, you will get free XP.

Example: I am able to hold down heavy attack with one hand, and eat pizza with the other hand, with the cursor pointed at an enemy spawn location and my character in a corner. Enemy spawns, it dies. Repeat.
That was some delicious pizza.

This previous example is not the best way, however. The best way is to do it overnight, with a RUBBERBAND holding down heavy attack, your controller plugged in and controller vibrations off. Turn off only the TV monitor, not the actual gaming device (console, pc etc).

Theories:
You sleep/autogrind for 8 hours. Enemy dies every minute. Enemy gives 400xp = almost 200,000 xp
You and a buddy in a group sleep in and autogrind for 10 hours, TWO enemies die every minute at 400 xp each = about 480,000 xp
Obviously, you get bonuses with eso plus, marriage, and/or being in a group of two.


The only work you will have to do beforehand is find the perfect location, and get a good Destro staff (lighting is no good). I will make a checklist that you can follow for the best possible experience.

> Lone, quickly respawning enemy (quickly is from 30 seconds - 1 minute, the faster the better)
> Relatively flat surface between you and the enemy (it must be able to get to you)
> A corner and a friend to back into, so you don't somehow move backwards.
> An ice staff or flame staff. You pick, ice snares, flame does more damage.

Now, your Playstation/Xbox/PC/mac will dislike you, but I have done a rigorous 48 HOUR test on PS4 with no visible consequences.

But just in case, Disclaimer: If anything happens to your precious game or device, it was your choice, just my tip.
(nothing probably will happen... probably)

What I do:
Every night, before I go to sleep, I set up in a location where I can see ONE (potentially TWO) enemies spawn. (If me and a buddy's collective DPS is fast enough, then we go for two enemies) I then take a rubberband, Strap it twice around the heavy attack button with an INFERNO staff in hand, and point directly at where the enemy will spawn, and in a line with the path that the enemy will take. I get hit maybe once, but they die, and I get like 400k xp a night. That's almost half a VR. (better than an hour of grinding)

I'm Ebonheart pact, so I use an area in Greenshade, where feral bosmer spawn in once every minute, I could have found a faster spot, but I'm really just too lazy.

If you would like, share any great locations! This is just a tested idea, feel free to improve or make suggestions. I'm open to all input, good or bad.

My thoughts are about as organized as Molag Bal's forces, so if you're confused please ask for help.

Good Luck!

This method is for EP players. The location he is referring to is in Greenshade and the enemies are VR8.

I had to do a little searching on my own. I recommend just exploring with a buddy and doing a "killtest" where you kill something, and movd on if it doesnt respawn in a minute. Just explore a bit, anywhere you can find works.
