Okay, DLC comes out on Wednesday for me, and I wanted to ask a few questions about the DLC that I have not found the answers to. Let us start with the XP change. For those of you with the add-ons, is questing through Silver and Gold a better XP gain than grinding? Are there better grinding spots now that the XP changes have been made to Craglorn and Public Dungeons? Speaking of public dungeons, is the 100% XP gain based on the quest or mobs or both? Also, on the topic of public dungeons, are these only public dungeons or delves also? I have heard from many people different answers but I would like to know from a PC user. Is the grind worth it now in a public dungeon if the mobs have the 100% XP gain?

By the way, I have completed the story line twice on two of my V14 characters. I have experienced the story and would like to quickly level up a third and fourth character to veteran rank. So, any PC help would be appreciated in helping me level 1-50 and then V1 to V14, V15, and NOW V16!

I leveled from vr14 to 16 in IC grinding and here is what I found. Curious to see what others have found in the last two weeks.

Grinding is the faster way to level. However it's boring, but profitable. XP is really strong in Imperial city with the VR16 mobs. I'm consistently pulling 6.5k xp a pull with xp drink. Mind you this is with being alone or with a small group if you are running with a zerg (or near one) you'll be getting practically nothing in stones or xp. The new dungeon quests award a ton of xp, like 1/3 of a VR level. I would get approximately get a VR level every 3 hours and around 1000 stones per hour in small groups. Not to mention the trophy fragments you get from drops which are more valuable than the stones in my opinion.

Craglorn xp seems to be screwed up at the moment. Here is a post describing it.

Haven't done the public dungeons as I completed all the ones getting to vr14.

Thank you @nk474 for your response. That is good to read and know. I am glad to read the dungeons are actually more rewarding. It is sad to see though that Craglorn is still not the end spot for grinds or questing.

I wish they would make the public dungeons and dolmens dailys as it would help solve grinding for levels. You may want to grind in ic at vr15 so you can melt the items for the new mats for the vr15 and 16 gear.
