Anyone able to get to level 2 yet?

[Shibward]

I have been playing for a while now, and i have yet to find an artifact that i am capable of getting as a level 1 character. As far as i know, getting an artifact is the only way to level up, just wondering if it's just me being unlucky with spawns?

It's definitely possible, but it currently requires some effort. Here is an example from reddit so far:

Hm, well atleast it isn't entirely impossible. But i must say i have had a hell of a time trying to find a castle or etc that i can actually manage.

I know i am just adding to the crowd of people outside the dev's door when i say this, but i wish we still had remnants of some kinda classic EXP system, atleast then you have some kind of small but guaranteed way of being able to level up. For all i care, they could even leave in the artifact stuff, but i dont think completely relying on it is a very safe idea.

Have enjoyed the game so far nonetheless.

Were you able to find some artifact places that were below 5 star difficulty? xD

It's certainly very difficult right now, hence requiring some effort. I suspect that there might be some number tweaks coming in the next days. Though, obviously, I don't know what the future holds. Go for some easier places first, look for hidden treasure, you'll quickly gain a lot of power.

As far as i know, there is no actual EXP system from enemies in the game (atleast not at the moment). Apparently they decided to attempt a level up system based solely on finding rare artifacts.

I can't find any easy places that give any meaningful progress c,:.

Even if the main enemy/quest does leave you with some kind of weapon or armor, typically i end up getting something only a different class can use.

Not to mention the weapon strength degradation if you die too much...

Do the levelups actually buff your health/armor/damage etc. or is it just a 5% increase to some special item?

Im level 4 rn but it took me like 6 hours to get level 2 because you need to gear up first ^^

it is possible... you just need to grind to some legendary stuff and you can handle the boss easily

Every artifact collected is an added level to your stats, or so I am to understand. Currently, I'm at level 7. Playing with friends on multiplayer helps get the grind done quicker. Single player is still do-able, just takes a bit longer. I wish you the best of luck!

For clarification, stars are not levels. It's difficulty level and you usually slowly work your way towards 5 star gear before you go and tackle dungeon with artifact. Then you get level, and can consider whole region being mostly done. At that point you either stay in your region to farm some + items, maybe just run around having fun, doing unfinished stuff, collecting lore pieces you might have missed. once you have enough + gear or feel confident that few + items you have will be just enough to start in new region, you go and look for lore, towns and hints for quests and more artifact.
