Can you get to level 8 before having to meet Alexander

[Viper]

I think I have done everything I can possibly do. There don't seem to be any loose ends. I have done all the quests..explored all the area. Fought all the fights. But yet I seem to be about 18k away from level 8. Alexander and his minions I believe are level 8. I was hoping I could reach level 8 before having to deal with them.

I'm pretty sure I was level 8 before that fight so it's possible to reach it.

[Saint]

Actually on second thought I think I actuallt leveled mid fight.

[Satris]

I leveled to 8 during the fight

[Luke S]

Don't know if its still possible but did someone not reach level 15 in EA?

[Olaf 'Don' Scholz]

Yes, its possible. I was almost level 8 and a half befor the Alexander fight.

[Fennel]

Pretty sure I got 8 by killing a certain dragon. May have killed some neutral NPCs too.

It's possible, I don't have a save from before the fight, but when I arrived on the Lady Vengence I had 227200 XP (82% of the way to level 9). IIRC, I was about 20% of the way to level 9 before the Alexander Fight.

I did kill all the magisters at Fort Joy, including the ones guarding the gates and patrolling, and I took on the Alexander and Dallis at the start of the game (you get 5600 XP from killing her pets, but they aren't on the LV). I also killed Slane, which gives you 6000 XP vs. 2100. However, I didn't kill any of the Sourcerers in Fort Joy or any of the other friendly NPCs.

Well maybe the fact that i play the Hero and did not kill the dragon held me back. As well as any other quests that allowed me to take the moral way out of them. I as well did not kill any magisters or town people unless they left me no choice. Because I am pretty sure I didn't miss anything.

Got to level 8 mid fight as well.

I was level 8 well before that fight. Still had the voidwoken fight, the 3 thugs in Ft Joy, and helping Gawain escape.

Did things like kill the 3 necros before destroying their bottles, killed all the silent monks, and everything short of murdering everyone in Ft Joy (didn't kill Griff and his crew).

Well I don't play the homicidal maniac..so that doesn't work for me.

I was level 8, I think it's possible to get to 9 before the fight. You just have to do everything " in correct order "
Im not saying there is a real correct order, but you will miss xp if you don't do certain quests before others

then kill everyone before you leave.

I was about 1000 points away from level 9 when I started the fight and I also missed an entire quest with the maze.
