Google is your friend...lots of grinding guildes...and yes, grinding is the fastest way to 50...but also the most boring... (I know from personal experience).

Craft full training gear in purple, buy psijic ambrosia or crown store XP scrolls, and run normal maelstrom arena, that will net you level 50 in a very short period.

That seems like a good idea ill try that but should I use new gear everytime I level up?

No need, I crafted my gear as level 10 and used the same gear the whole way to 50

Edit: some quoting mistake.

17-26 Bloodfiends in Grahtwood near Faltonia's Mine
26-36 Bloodfiends in Greenshade near Verrant Morass
36-50 Zombies in Coldharbour near The Vile Laboratory

Only change out your weapon when leveling, having gear under level won't matter. Using a bow or brawler skill would probably be a good idea if it is not currently being used.

Only takes about 6-8 hour of good grinding with purple training gear and potions to hit level 50. As for leveling skill lines, Skyshards, Mages Guild, Fighters guild, that's the real grind. Could take you days, even weeks, to get those to max.

Hmm will try this tonight thanks for the headsup

I reuse the same gear for all my chars. I mix armor types to level all armor skills. Later I will get the undaunted passives and also spec some of the passives from the other armor types besides the main one. I level 2 weapon skills in parallel, bow and either 2W or 2H on stamina builds, and restoration and destruction staff on magicka builds.

I have one gear for stamina and for magicka builds, all crafted at levels 14,24,34,44 respectively:

For fighters: 5 x Hunding's Rage (med feet, med legs, med hands, heavy chest, light waist) + 3/4 x Night Mother's Gaze (med shoulders, med head, bow, maul/daggers). All in blue quality, training trait, with blue stamina enchants and elemental damage on weapons.

For fighters: 5 x Armor of the Seducer (med feet, light legs, light hands, heavy chest, light waist) + 3 x Torug's Pact (light shoulders, light head, restoration & destruction staff). All in blue quality, training trait, with blue magicka enchants on armor and elemental damage on weapons.

At level 50 characters switch to endgame gear I craft or I have farmed in advance.

Never thought of grinding in Normal Maelstrom Arena... How many runs would you say one needs to hit 50 with purple training gear and xp pots/scrolls?

I think i got like 4 levels on a run or something, and one run took like 30-40min. So approximately 10 runs which would be between 6 and 7 hours. Fighters Guild was maxed out too after this too

Never bought any tempers or base materials off trade guilds. I have quite enough saved from deconstruction, writs, refining. Only things I've bought were 9 hakeijos for my CP160 tanking gear (back when they were really expensive, 30K a piece) and the xyvilin style piece, probably about 30K in total. I've also bought some blue recipes for a few hundred and purple ones for a few thousands. Also bought nirned gear for research, on the order of about 150K. Maximum 500K over the last 5 months. On the other hand I had to free up space on my bank character by selling CP150-160 base materials. I didn't need to keep more than 15 stacks of each. I had at one point about 5.5K rubedo leather and 5K rubedite but sold the excess and limited my stocks to 3K. Also sold Lorkhan's Tears because I really don't see the point of having more than 1000 in storage. I also sell a lot of motifs and recipes that I already know, excess runes, green and blue tempers, set pieces with bad traits or doubled. Never sold any alchemy ingredients, nirn, gold tempers or good trait gear. I'm thinking about selling my excess stacks of purple tempers as my consumption is much less than the intake and one stack seems to suffice. Probably sold about 3x more than I bought on guild stores. I bought all available storage space on all characters and in bank and either spent or set aside money for complete riding training. I accumulate gold steadily but ran out of sinks

Grinding mobs is by far is the easiest with all training gear and exp pot. Just have something playing in the background that you can divert part of your attention to while grinding. You dont really need to pay full attention to your grind once your routine is added to your muscle memory. Grinding for me is more like a reflex at this point while Im watching youtube videos.

What he said! All the kills will be yours and only yours. And you won't be a bother (to questers) since you will be killing mobs in a solo dimension

Forget traditional grinding. It's always plagued by morons already in the spots that mess up your exp and/or drops.

If you really want to level up fast the easiest way that I've found is to just do all of the dolmens in your current area until you get to the strongest dolmen there. Once you get to that one keep doing it until you're strong enough to easily solo it.

Dolmens respawn exactly 10 minutes after they are finished, so take a note of the time. You can hit all the dolmens on the map again every 10 minutes. But you don't need to do that just yet.

Once you get to the point that you can easily do that strongest dolmen just go to the next zone and start the dolmens there and keep doing that until you get to the final zone before Coldharbour in your alliance. On AD side that's Reaper's March.

What you can do at that point is just make it your routine to go from one dolmen to the next and get a good rhythm going. Every 10 minutes you do all 3 dolmens, maybe a dolmen or 2 from the previous zone as well. By then it should be time for the next to pop and you can start back on the previous zone.

You can easily get to 50 in under 2 days with this method. If you're serious about it you can probably do it in a single day. The last time I did it I did it in just 2 days. Me though, I worked on my alliance quest in between the strongest dolmen in the zone and I'd just do a portion of the quest as fast as possible and get back to the dolmen in under 10 minutes every time. Doing a dolmen every 10 minutes is going to give you a substantial boost to your exp gain.

As long as you have the time(s) written down it doesn't matter if anyone else shows up to the dolmens because it really doesn't affect your exp all that much unless they're some high CP character, which would be kinda silly for them seeing as to how they could do dolmens in the other two alliance areas that are scaled up to CP levels which would actually give them good rewards. Just make sure you flag each of the monsters with a bit of damage if people do show up, and you'll do fine.

What's important, however you do it, is just write that dolmen time down and do at least 1 dolmen every 10 minutes like clockwork. You'll hit 50 in no time at all.

Oh and the best part? You'll probably get the vast majority of generals killed, if not have killed all of them, by the time you get to 50. You'll also level your fighter's guild skill line significantly. It should be at 8 or 9 by the time you get to 50 with dolmens, which is way higher than you'd expect through just a normal playthrough.

So, there's a lot of advantages to doing it like that. You also get good drops from the dolmens and their chests.

P.S. Dolmens generally don't spawn on their own unless you get really close to the dolmen itself, and then the worm cult people will spawn. So if you go to areas that have low player traffic or play at off-times you can pretty much have your run of them. This is especially true once you do get to 50 because hardly anyone plays throughout all of the other two alliances. If you do run into people it will be very sparse and they'll generally be disinterested in dolmens.

just play through the main quest do some delves and dolmens couple of side quests and enjoy the game for what it is and you'll be at level 50 in a couple of days.

He asked for the fastest way. 3-5 hours it's takes tips, not a couple of days
