Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I have tried the game with a few different classes, but after reading the forums, I may be picking the harder ones (Mesmer, elementalist, etc)

Anyway, I find myself not really enjoying the random “help farmers with their stuff” quests around the human starting zone, and even when I force myself to do them, am finding myself underleveled.

I really want to like the game, and at times it is a lot of fun. I like the story quest, but every time I start to get into it I find I need to stop everything and grind out a couple levels again.

Are there other ways to level besides the area quests? I haven’t really looked at pvp yet, for example. I feel like even when I make it a point to do every area quest, I still am not as high level as I should be for the next story quest. Any suggestions? Thanks much for your insights!

I know you’ve probably heard this from other people but crafting seems to be one of the best ways to gain experience. If you don’t have enough materials, you can buy some from the TP and focus on making discoveries as well as crafting items at the highest level you can.

Another thing is finding places that have back-to-back events. You can repeat them as many times as you want but I do understand that after a while things become repetitive. Also, I know the CM Dungeon has just been nerfed but you might want to try a different dungeon or ask around for ones that give a decent amount of experience.
But generally most people have been getting experience by doing these things and probably more.

- Crafting
-100% Map Tracking
-Gathering
-Events
-Dungeons

Good luck!
