End game levling

RizaHawkeye · July 2015

New to the game, on my second week.

Yesterday in chat, someone spoiled me on the endgame leveling system. To be honest, I thought he was teasing me but, no, it is what it is. Here's the thing:

I have three characters I'm running through each of the factions. If I hit endgame and the only way I can level is to redo the quests I've already done ... honestly, I would quit. So tell me I don't have to complete the silver/gold endgames to get to V14 or whatever.

Also, I'm noticing the game levels way too much. My EP character left Stonefalls at level 20. If this keeps up, I'll be overleveled by the end of the game (I understand that after 5 levels over, you get nothing from kill mobs).

If this is just wrong, let me know. Like everyone else, I get my information off the street (e.g. chat).

Your other options are grinding, running dungeons, PvP or PvE(quests/delves/dolmens) in Cyrodil, Craglorn quests in a group, etc.

Its all true. If that stuff ruins the game for you, you should just go ahead and quit now before you get overly invested.

Well, you don't "have to" complete the quests in silver/gold. Cyrodiil is an option.

You can choose to complete "only" the quests needed for silver to unlock gold, and grind it out at the locations on each map.

Yes, leveling is waaaaaay to easy 1-50, which has the adverse effect of making the vet ranks appear much harder than they are.

I personally like the silver/gold because if you settled into a guild to group with, *most* of the time they are all one faction since at this time you can't cross faction, so silver/gold offered the opportunity to experience the whole game with each you make. However, they announced they are bringing cross faction grouping (finally)...sometime in the future.

yup you get to enjoy the other factions after you complete your own. its a fun perk for you can experience everything. tho usually they expect you to only level one toon at a time. so you wouldnt have to suffer what youre going through.

i myself after leveling my first toon to VR10 i am actually leveling the other 3 classes in same faction all at once zone by zone and its actually going pretty well. id thought it be boring since i already did all the zones pretty much already but im too focused on how the other classes play to notice the same content again

in game where you should always grind on last lvl (for cp, pvp rank, items...etc) it doesnt really matter when you start to do it(vr14 or vr1) so if u dont want do same quests just think that you are end with lvling and start GRIND GRIND GRIND

My suggestion is to pick your favorite char and level that one up to VR14. When you have tons of CP leveling your other chars is MUCH faster. Boring, but faster.

Well the main endgame design is Cyrodiil with it mixed PVP and PVE. You can just focus on that from PVP, to exploration, repeatable town quests and dungeon runs while watching your back for enemy alliance players to get to max vet level.
