What level do you go to diamond city?

[Docsprock]

I'm currently level 41 and have not been there.

Pretty much depend on how fast I want to go to Far Harbor in a given playthrough since you need to do Valentine quest first. Usually I also go there late but for example I rushed it on my Child of Atom character.

I'm unsure, its just a casual playthrough but plan to do most of the game. Currently I'm level 10 and have explored most of northwestern of the map

Go when you're ready. No wrong way to play. Lots of good stuff there for sure.

Explore randomly as much as you like there are no right or wrong answer. Ive gone there at like lvl 6 and 30+ depending on my characters and mood.

It can be any level. I used to avoid it for ages, but i wanted Curie on my journeys with me (cos she talks about almost every event whether sidequest or main, except DLCs), so had to get to Diamond city to free her up as soon as possible.

Me personally use the city to quickly up a few levels. There's a load of easy todo misions there and allows me to gather resources and develop my char before im heading out in the more difficult parts of the game. I usealy play the main mission up to the point of send too good neighbor and do those diamond city quests ontop of buying the home and rebuild it for propper use that in turn level me up a few more. By the time youre done in the city and are being send to goodneighbor you can easy be lvl 8 or 10 orso.

doesn't really matter much when you go there. if you would play it like the story tells you, it would be before even lvl 10 or more early if you avoid any unnecessary fights & exploration. the enemy level and types will change if you go there later - as it does with most areas. though, that doesn't mean you won't occasionally run into fights with enemies that are too far above you level and you should therefore avoid for the time being... or not, if you want the challenge ^^)
me, i usually (if playing in a 'normal' way) will work my way there and doing all kind of scav-work on the way to build up outpost and my gear up (playing survival mostly). i think the 'latest' i got there was around level 60 (easily sidetrackable that i am...) - the earlies, afair, would be lvl 5 (skiped about everything i could, even the mission pointer to the city - since i already knew wher i had to go ^^)

I only play on survival mode anymore, so access to medical care is a priority for me. I like to rush Hangman's Alley as soon as I feel I can survive the raiders in there and the Super Mutants nearby. If I'm feeling really spicy I'll push the Minuteman questline straightaway for the Castle, since it comes with a first aid station. :)

This is generally between levels 8-14. I max out at 14 'cause that's when the Cambridge Overpass power armor has full T-51, which is all I need to let Boston know the vault dwellers are in town and they mean business. As for level-locking, most exterior zones don't lock permanently and I don't really care about locking in power armor sets since I can get guaranteed T-60 from the Brotherhood and easy X-01 from DLC.

[BearChow]

I got there at lvl 10

[steven1mac]

Around 10 is good enough, really it doesn't matter, but just clearing the way there will net you a few levels if you like to clear a place you unlock on your map as you travel.

Got there early now just to be able to dump loot on traders.

[Volfogg]

Honestly, whenever you feel a need for safe storage, player housing and vendors. Home Plate is rather convenient thing to have relatively early. Capturing Hangman's Alley nearby is not bad idea for storing excess of junk items either. Boston is full of junk items.

[SerraShaar]

After doing those small Quest in Sanctuary, and unlocking the 2nd Settlement. I usually head out there to sell stuff.

In diamond City you can buy Fusion cores.
You need those ot get your Powwer Armor to run.
Some locations in the game are nearly impossible to get through without either Power Armor (as the game intended) or savescumming which is not worthy of a gamer.
