Guild Wars 2

Instead of asking it directly :
What is the fastest way to level….I wish to know what YOU think is the fastest way.
Or more like, what is your process when you focus on speed level, instead of all around fooling and exploring.

My is (trough there are probably more and better way) :
Pop lv 20 scroll, Go capitol, pick up 2 craft , pop craft booster, craft to 400 ish.
(usually have 30-40 ish gold to buy things i dont have, and mostly have common materials from alts) Only by crafting 1 to 400 i get like 10 ish level. So that is like 20-25 at best i guess levels. AFter that i run araund and collect some waypoints. After that i go pop birthday booster or normal exp booster and run araund dooing hearts.

So what is your way?

Tomes of knowledge.

I had ~700. But now I’m down to ~300 after leveling everyone to 80.

Edge of the Mist all day baby!!

^ And that’s free of charge… you might even make some gold via salvaging/selling…

“Tomes of knowledge.” true….but its not like every third mob dropps then….what are the best ways to farm them actually?

You used to be able to get a lot of them from various event merchants. They still drop from champion boxes occasionally (I think), but the most reliable source is probably sPvP.

You should be getting a few tomes of knowledge every time you progress in sPvP.

It’s probably not more effective than playing normally if leveling is your goal but that’s where most of them come from. Coupled with an instant level 20 boost it can make leveling quite a breeze.

If you have none of these means however, EotM really is the place to go. It’ll give you nice loot too and a number of skillpoints to unlock your skills.

Crafting 1-400 is nerfed down to 7 or 8 levels iirc. I think 2-3 of the cheaper ones are still worth it if you don’t have trouble making gold in the long run.

eotm, until lv 40, then running lower level dungeons. multiple times a day.

EotM is great! I got 49-60 in two days last weekend. That was playing in bursts of 2-3 hours at a time.
Not to mention all the items I looted and salvaged.
Crafting is low on my list of priorities, as I don’t really care if I get a legendary or not, so I plan to sell all I received from salvage.

Craft boosters affect the crafting experience (e.g. materials required to craft) not the actual XP and thus it’s safe to say no matter what you get 7 levels from 1-400 and 3 levels from 400-500.

Anyway the way I’d recommend:
- Birthday Scroll to level 20 and finish the tutorial. (Level 20)
- Level cheap crafts (Cooking ~5g Jewel and Artifice ~10g/each) for 21 levels. Always the fast guide, or it takes too long. (Level 41)
- Optional: Run to important waypoints now you have 3 utilities and an elite skill if it will be a PvE-toon rather than WvW. (~level 45 to 50 depending on desired amount of WPs)
- Edge of the Mist / Dungeons, Edge of the Mist tends to give ~3-4 levels per hour if a decent Commander is on and keeps are unprotected (the usual) they give 1/3rd of a level on their own. Dungeons give atleast 1 level each, especially rewarding if you use boosters due to a decent amount of trash generally, quite a few paths can be done in very little time but might require friends. (until Level 80)

The big amount of champions killed either way makes sure a toon can hit level 80 with plenty of skillpoints and quite a buck if you know when to open the champion bags. (Linen <3) and either some Karma or some Dungeon tokens for gear.

In reality how-ever, I just PvP and use Tomes of Knowledge, with the new reward track I get tons of weapons to give a new alt any weapon she needs, or might ever need by the time I got her a set of gear, all this whilst I’m having fun.

Definitely gonna see if my guild can raid on EotM to farm all of you.

Whell udnno i joined EotM and didnt know what i am supposed to do. Not to mention the extreme lags.
Followed some dudes running around, then i started following some zerg….and did get some minor exp from capping stuff, but spread out after third encounter and i was like..meh kitten this.
Not even sure how to get around fast, all wps are contensted,
