I know grinding is faster but you don't get enough skill points that way. Seems like questing is the only way to get enough skill points, unless you ran around and got every single skyshard which would be a huge pain for me cuz I'm on console. I mean I only gain like two levels a day and I can only play on the weekends. Plz help or share some advise bc im bored as **** just questing.

I rolled a new character on the weekend and got to level 14 inside 12 hours just by standard questing and story line, without using XP pots or doing any grinding. I don't want to level too fast as I wanted to collect skill points. I will now leave that character in BWB (non vet PVP campaign) until he reaches level 50 and see how far up the Alliance War ranks he can get.
I guess you either grind or quest.

Dang you leveled for 12 hours. See I can only level up a character ( questing or grinding) for 3 hours a day MAX. Meaning on a good day where I'm feeling really motivated, I am able to level for about 3 hours. But usually I get really bored after an hour or two.

I did a few quests, including some main quests, but mostly I went zone to zone doing all dolmens, some World Bosses, many of the surface sky shards, and a lot of lorebooks. I just used whatever gear dropped. Both Mages and Fighter guild were almost 10 when I hit level 50. I'm doing the same routine with my new Warden. I hit level 15 after 7 hours today with no XP boosts.
Not really. Oh, sure, you can speed things up, that's why they have training gear of XP potions... or those double XP events... but as is quite obvious, that won't get you -all- the skill points you need to take full advantage of everything, since those come not only with levels, but also from skyshards and major quests.SameMeteor26 wrote: »There has to be a better method for leveling new characters...

Personally I would say, just stop fixating on the goal, and enjoy the ride instead! Yes, it can be a little bit boring doing the same questings over and over again... so you have to plan a bit so it won't be too bad. Mix your playtime between crafting on your main, levelling an alt, PvPing on your main, levelling an alt, dungeon run on your main, levelling an alt... etc.
But really, it's not a race to see who reaches the end fastest, it is much better an experience if you take it slow and enjoy every step of the way. A bit like lovemaking I suppose...
You don't have my life - I'd be bored if not for playing the game. During the week I play for about 4 hours most days and Sat/Sun can put in up to 10 hours each day - rather sad reallySameMeteor26 wrote: »
