Ok so basically I was hoping that within the open beta time I would be able to pull all classes to level 13.. It's now Sunday and i've got a 12/9/7/6/5 and seein it's quite a far to do 9 - 13 I fear I may not actually do it in time.
So I was hoping there was some methods in which to level faster than just repeatedly farming through the final quest and that u guys could share these methods? thanks.
I have one tip: check out the weapons sold at various vendors - if you're lucky you'll find a good weapon that will last you a good few levels, and they usually require a low level to equip. And ~2000 gold is easy to come by.
Yeh, that's what i've done.. i went up to like being able to craft lvl 24 stuff.. cus I had 25k gold and nothing to buy, i'll just keep at it then hopfully i'll get there in time heh ty
gear wise i craft spam for exp bonus/main stat. my barbs sitting on around 39 dmg atm and cleave 1 shots anything that's not elite or boss.
in patch 16 I got my 5 chars to lvl 13 in a day. First 2 took longer, but last 3 with a set of +58 exp on monster kill, took these 3 char 2 hours and a half each to get them to 13. I'm sure it could be done even faster.
Join public games to farm Leoric kills. He grants huge experience for completing the quest. While the others in the game are searching through the Cathedral, I found that by not following them, and quickly clearing the Defiled Crypt & bonus event (Matriarch Bones/Jar of Souls) it actually gives you, and everyone else a solid experience boost,
For you: Still decent regular experience, plus the boost for getting kill combos (tougher to get a large combo going when you have allies).
For your allies: Quest experience is global; everyone gets the bonus boost for finishing Jar/Bones.
After a while, you will be able to tell only a few steps into a Crypt which one has been generated. So rush the quest as fast as possible, then join your allies in the Cathedral/Royal is usually your best bet.
I solo SK over and over, by making a solo game you can start the cathedral at A3 and not have to do the Jondar event so basicly you just do Cathedral 4 in a loop.
The reason why its hard is cos you're overlevelled, SK is clvl8 and Cat4 is clvl7. You won't level fast when you're fighting monsters far below your level.
It's not all that big right? I mean in the game it says +1 experience per monster killed, but if a monster only gives 10 exp, it won't make a huge difference if you get 11 exp instead. Or even 50 exp and then obtaining 51.
Unless the bonus applies differently?
I got myself a +58 exp on monster kill in beta. So if a kill normaly grants 10 exp, you get 68, that's huge, especially in public games where you mow through mobs
With the +exp from what I could tell it gives the full exp if the creatues ure killing are 2 (or 3?) lvls above or below u otherwise it DRs at a similar rate to how the actual XP gained DRs. so like if ure lvl 10 and u got +5 exp from killing u gain +5 exp. But if u were to kill a lvl 5 creature u wouldn't gain the full return from it otherwise u could just stack it like crazy and then go farm first quest
With the shop keeper stuff, is there any really quick way of refreshing what there selling?
Yes there is.
Simply leave the game.
Once you leave, simply hit the "resume quest" button, don't make a new game.
Then run back over to the vendor and see what they are selling.
In D2 you used to be able to teleport out of town and then back.

This, along with as much + exp per kill possible. I'm able to level a toon all the way to 13 in almost exactly 2 hours, with just ~ +35 total exp.
Just start a game at the very last quest possible, you'll have to find your way down cathedral lvl 4, and then SK which gives a nice chunk of exp every time =D Rinse and repeat
The plus XP def helps a ton, i usually can do a run in about 35-40 mins with my friends and we'll finish hitting lvl 8, we just did a run and the rings we got at lvl 6 had +6 xp so we each bought 2 of those and i had a weapon with a tad on them as well and we finished in 37 mins halfway through lvl 9. Thats a extra lvl and a half just in the first part of act 1.
