How to know missions requirements

[el pollo]

Hi all! I'm level 15, I'm doing some objectives missions, but then I realize one of these objectives it's impossible to complete, (for example, I need unlock some item with level 20 or more) so I have to quit and lose all. The missions menu only shows "easy, medium or hard", but nothing about if my character can achieve with my current tech tree. Any help or clue?
Thanks!

Hi!
Only googling for specific mission will allow you to learn what you will exactly do there.
A couple of general points - mission description gives you a rough idea of what to expect.
Yes, it's ususally not very descriptive, but if it says "power up this machine" that literally means electricity/fuel, which is T3/T4 ( level 20 / 30 ) stuff.
Also, mission timer is ususally VERY generous - if you are given 6 days - it's 6 x 24 hours of real time PLAYED. So, unless you are doing a 6 hour mission, you should have enough time to level up to 20, or heck even 30.
Don't be discouraged that mission requires something out of your reach - 5 levels can be earned in a couple of hours with dedicated hunting/mining/tree chopping combined with some hefty crafting :)

The mission tree actually has a structure, that kind of hints at levels.

If you look, you do a scan mission, and that has a number of quests off it. Two of those are to open other biomes (canyons and the glacier).

If you look past those, there is another scan mission for each of those biomes, which is another quest "hub".

Generally speaking, all quests off the scan mission are roughly the same level, EXCEPT for any to open a new biome.

So, you can do any of the missions around/in the forest, but to do the two to get to canyons and glacier, you want to be level 20.

Why level 20?

For the glacier, you MUST have fur armor, and that is level-locked at 20. The canyons aren't quite so strict, but still looking at about that level.

(recommend leaving any extermination missions as LAST in an area: they tend to be harder)

Once you open, for example, canyons, then you scan, and have a bunch of missions... one of which is to open the riverlands. You want to have access to level 30 tech (roughly) for that one.

It's not a hard/fast requirement, but a good rule-of-thumb.

And you can always just get the levels you need on that mission... but that could take more time than you have, depending how many levels you are still missing.

Then stay in mission and level up ??? not hard .... simpel solution .

I came into one and was lvl 24 .... i needed 30 to complete mission ... so i stayed until i was 30 ..was plenty of time for it.

Now im at mission 7 and lvl 50 several times ... its not a problem mate !

No need to be rude, asking questions is normal. Levelling from 24 to 30 takes time and not everyone wants to stay in one mission for hours levelling up.

Your answer is not very helpful at all.

A better solution is to remove your character from that mission and do another one that requires a lower level character. That seems to work fine as I've had to do it several times due to bugs after an update.

Use this time at lower levels to overbuild your base shelter. Make a home and repair it. Make one of everything you can craft for your home. In this process you will be much higher level by the time you finish the mission if not 50. Also take a bow and carry lots of stick to the snow bio me or dessert. The animals/small predators provide really good experience to kill and to skin. As long as you have sticks you can keep making more bone arrows. Carry a couple bows. Do this for an hour and,if you can hunt, watch your levels increase.
