Grinding levels?
I've played 22 hours and I'm only level 27. I'd love to do some online sieges, but there are way too many level 60+ fortresses. How do these people level up so quickly? I've only conquered my second fortress thus far. I also tend not to kill any captains. I try to dominate all the Uruks in the region. Do you get more experience from just killing them?

lol people have put in over 75-100 hours so far. It's been out a week. Plenty of time for some gamers to put in the hours.

I haven't finished the story yet and I'm level 55. I used an EXP booster for the story missions, that was worth a lot of exp

100 hours you said? spot on mate :woodlehappy:. Do some daily challenges for gold and buy xp boosters and use em for story missions, lots of xp. When shadow wars hit at lvl 45-60 then die every time your fortress gets assaulted and retake the fortress for 200k+ xp instead of 20k for defending with xp booster that is. You level up fast as hell.

As do most of us. I wasn't suggesting that you put in that many hours but was explaining how so many are so much further ahead.

The best way to level up so far is use wealth gems on your armor and hood to boost xp and just do nemesis missions.

You could also do those daily challenges in game to get free mirian and gold. and use those gold you got and buy xp boost.

On a word of advice, don't spend too much time grinding levels or orcs, as you will be doing plenty of that in act 4.

You should be at around 40-45 by the time Shadow Wars starts.

Just do story mode, believe me eventually you get specific missions that boost you up big time. ESPECIALLY the shadow wars

About to say after the Main story Shadow Wars will get you from 45 to 60 real quick

Huh, yes you can. That's why there's a "Replay quest" button in Quest log... (but it won't grant you XP I guess).

You really don't need to do any XP boosts things, i just completed the story line and it got me to lvl 60. Along with a few vendetta quests and all the side-quests. But that's pretty much it

what difficulty are you playing cause I was lvl 60 in 30 hours on the nemesis difficulty
