Does anybody know how many levels you get by doing 100% full map discovery
Ive lever 4 character fully only map completion and everytime Ive got 40+% world completion, there are some events and gathering too, but I mean no champ arm/crafting or scrolls, always had food buffs and at least 40% the time exp/gathering buffs from banners or boosters. No dungeons either.
No, but far more than 80. I have a character that does only map discovery starting from the lowest level areas and moving up. At the end of starter areas he was at lvl 31. Right now he is at level 46 and only starting Gendarran.
It’s probably hard to calculate, as experience you can get from certain things (like reaching a new zone, completing a Heart…) scales depending on your current level, from what I understand. I doubt anyone’s done a run of pure map completion without killing mobs, ressing people or harvesting nodes in between (all of which grant extra xp).
I’ve leveled a couple mostly through map exploration and got to 80 way before I was finished with the maps. Throw in harvesting and events you run into and you level fast.
I levelled my characters by doing map completions of all low-level maps, then moving up to the next set once I was done, along with harvesting, killing mobs and doing events. I was about level 17 when I completed the starter map, about level 33 when I completed all the starter maps. By the time I reached level 80, I was only just finishing the level 15 – 25 maps!
All my characters reached level 80 well before getting to 100% world completion. Lowest was at about 35% i think. None of them used craft-levelling , champ train exp or any other forms of shortcuts. I just participated in most events that popped up near me while doing map completions. That was completely sufficient.
(well, i might have gotten a few levels with crafting, but i never had more than 2 crafts on a single character, and those stayed at tier 1 – tier 2 [lol, tier range shortcut got filtered? wtf?] till 80, so it couldn’t be more than, say, 5 levels total on a single char. Likely less)
Actions, not words.

i got my thief to 80 from pure map comp, i never buy tools and only revive for heart completions (that may toss it a bit) but i hit 80 and had about 60% map comp.

i got my thief to 80 from pure map comp, i never buy tools and only revive for heart completions (that may toss it a bit), but i hit 80 and had about 60% map comp. again there were a few events in hearts to get them done also but its definitely doable
I brought 4 of my characters to lvl 80 with a mix of map completion, events on maps, gathering (good for crafting or good for selling the mats), doing dailys while exploring and a little crafting to keep them equipped on their respective level and reached lvl 80 at 35-40% completion.
I always thought one reaches lvl80 very quickly in this game.

Each time took about 40hrs of game play.
This seems about right.
I leveled two characters without resorting to extremes of living story, EoTM or crafting XP- almost entirely doing map completion and open world stuff.
Both were ~ 40% completion at around 40-50 hours.

I’ve got a lvl 77 with 100% map completion, I took it as a challenge but got to 100% before lvl 80. But I did all dailies before I started exploring and killed as little as I could. I would say you get to level ~75 with pure exploring exp.
It depend how much mobs you kill. I think if you “purposely” try to kill as little as possible, you should be able to get 100% mid 70.
Most people probably have daily, or kill more than they need so they’ll be lvl80 before 100% map completion.
All 4 of my character was in the 40% marks and I only killed what the heart called for, its a WASTE to kill things that arnt with Hearts or Events, it takes up time and gives little exp. I also only gather if they was around the hearts, gathering is worth more than a kill most times
I generally have 40-45% map completion by the time I hit 80. It’s well worth doing the end zones however, they give a guaranteed 2 exotics each and some of them have the really expensive uncraftable runes in them.
I can’t find the topic anymore, but I remember somebody showing 100% map completion while being around level 60-70. It might have been a fake. The person was careful not to participate in any event and get as few kills as possible, like doing hearts’ alternative ways of completing instead of blindly killing mobs.
