LOOONG Vet Lveling...

campwn · March 2015

I finished the Ebonheart storylines, I'm onto my third Vet zone. I am still a V1 and and i'm not even 1/3 into my exp bar.I need a faster way to level. Any tips or great grind spots I can hit that have not already been nerfed? This is taking the fun out of the game. Pretty soon ill be V1 fighting some V5

DeLindsay · March 2015

Wait until you get to VR10/11 and are completely out of Quests, Craglorn has seen it's XP nerfed so many times you might very well never hit VR14 now, so sad.

Prizax · March 2015

oh boy if you think that takes a lot of time, wait to see the 3,600 CP

PD: If I do remember right from v1 to v10 there is a zone per each vet level you just need to clean the entire zone, so make sure to complete all the quests and kill all the world bosses in each zone. Most of the grinding spots were nerf.

Welcome to 1.6 and the new B2P ESO. Enjoy your stay.

Rentt · March 2015

you must be skipping a lot of content I'm just finishing up, stone falls as my first vet zone and I'm already v4 at 55%.

LordSkyKnight · March 2015

Yea I got some advice. Stop skipping side quests and stop skipping fights.

AlnilamE · March 2015

How on earth did you manage that?

My first toon hit V1 in Coldharbor, my second when she had hardly started The Rift (she had too much fun on Guild outings) and my third just last week when she had gone about 1/3 through Coldharbor, but she skipped about 80% of Eastmarch as she had outleveled mobs and I wanted to quest somewhere where she could get mob XP as well.

If you complete all quest hubs/WB/Dungeons/dolmens, there is no way you can be underleveld for a zone.

As for grind spots, each zone should have a place or three with a good conentration of overland mobs. So I'd say find one of those in Glenumbra or Stormhaven.

campwn · March 2015

I did all of the main quests, world boss, solo dungeons and dolemans. I didn't think i would have to grind out every last side quest to make it this time. this is horrible lol. iv almost got 4 cps up till right now.

If you reached the third alliance, you should have already fought VR5 enemies.

I normally don't say this... but I don't believe this story.

AlnilamE · March 2015

He means the third zone in Silver (Rivenspire), not the Gold zone.

campwn · March 2015

yeah i meant silver not gold.

Rosveen · March 2015

Weeell I can't read. Apologies.

But still, it is strange that you're VR1 in the third zone. Have you done any quests at all beside Cadwell's objectives? World bosses, delves and dolmens used to give good XP - in fact, I got almost to VR4 doing nothing but those in Silver - but they no longer do. Quests are now the most important source of XP.

campwn · March 2015

yeah damn looks like ill have to go back and get all that.
i guess it will take twice as long in those zones now that i already blew by

phairdon · March 2015

Always seem to run half a level behind the next starting zone, even after completing all the quests, with an aid of an addon in the past (when they still worked). There were times I could not get all dolmens or bosses as there were a lack of players on the maps to help.
There are quite a few quests outside of the main quests (side quests). Also quests tied in with some of the group dungeons. Cannot understand how you ended up so far behind.

It ust to be but now with the xp changes thats not the case now.

Rosveen · March 2015

Just focus on turning every icon white, you get a chunk of XP not just for the quests, but for clearing an area. I recommend mixing it with Cyrodiil dailies and dungeons if you're okay with that kind of activity, it will make levelling more fun. Running from one point of interest to another can get quite tedious.

That would get you about 80% through a VR a while back. Since they gutted the XP you now have to do virtually every quest in each zone. Grind quests or mobs....just keep grinding like a true VR

campwn · March 2015

Yeah i looked at my incoming exp in this zone each side quest is about 39 000 exp.Each single mob enemy is about 1 600 exp. So I figure with the amount of enemies you kill along the quests. its by the best way to go.

I was making great time too. I'm a regarded sorc. I was dual wielding my way through all of the quests. Then when it came to world bosses and dolemans i was able to solo even at V1 by hiding behind my pets with a rest staff. Walking in with my ult up and then quickly earning a second or third to do all of my work.

Those sound like Enlightened numbers, so you are getting 1600exp towards a Champion Point, but only about 400 xp towards your next vet level.

campwn · March 2015

ok that makes sense. i thought those numbers did not add up.

Niminion · March 2015

Enlightenment should effect all XP, imo. 30% of a VR level per day would fix it!

Nebthet78 · March 2015

You are definitely skipping a heck of a lot of content and not killing as many mobs as you should to help with leveling.

I entered Silver at Vet 2. I am now in the Vet2 zone @ Vet6. For the most part, I explore and gain mats and do quests with only 1hr of grinding out my daily 1CP allowance before continuing on.

I am not going to be having any difficulty reaching Vet14 the way I am going. Heck, to keep things interesting, I am still using my V1 armor and only repair it if going up against a difficult WB or Dolmen on my own.

campwn · March 2015

i started silver at 45, hit second silver area at 49. i already have a v14 and i did every quest i could find with him. I really didnt want to have to do that all over again with a new char. But with the nerfs to grinding i guess thats just the way it has to be.

stop ignoring side quests and world bosses and Dark anchors..

all of those and the main are still pretty much a full vet level per zone...
