XP Farm

[withered paper plane]

Hey guys! I don't have any of the dlcs except the commander lilith and I was wondering what the best way to farm xp is at lvl 12. Is there any efficient methods besides bad maw? Also hmu if you want to play!

So u got the base game?

Farm xp by doing missions. Carry on with the story. Farming Bad Maw will become less and less effective as you level up. Bad maw does not increase in level, so the xp will get less and less as you level up.

I can understand farming xp if you're like level 40+ but at 12? Just do the main story and you'll level up fast, also, doing the story missions when you're 10 levels above the enemies levels will be very very boring =)

Just go through the game and take missions, you don't need to farm. If you absolutely want to farm, get the Mighty Morphin mission from Sir Hammerlock after the Bloodshot Dam - it will ask you to mutate and kill varkinds in the Thundra Express, and collect samples from them. As long as you don't collect the samples from the mutated varkids you can keep mutating and killing more of them for a ton of exp. But again - you don't need to do that on lvl 12. Just do missions.

You definitely don't want to farm in Normal and TVHM. The sidequests provided throughout the game, especially after Sanctuary takes to the air, are plenty to make you overlevelled for each main story mission.

Thank you everyone! I will continue to proceed with the main game.

Actually, to ensure you're always over leveled, it's best to farm bosses until you level up 3 or 4 maybe 5 levels if you're patient enough anf have the time. During those runs you'll have s good chance of getting Legendaries from the bosses, Knuckledragger is your first boss, Flint is second third would be Bad maw (technically since you have to kill him to proceed in the story snd get into the bloodshot stronghold). Doc Mercy also gives a lot of exp in the beginning and can drop the infinity pistol which is a godsendend in emergencies. If you are at level 12 then by now you should be able to grab the mission from Dr. Zedd called Medical Mystery which is the mission needed to go kill Doc Mercy. Once you get to BS stronghold there are no bosses there, after that you go to find Tiny Tina and tge next boss from their is whilhelm and he can drop the Nasty Surprise grenade mod (not that great but can be useful, also corrosive works on him). From the the next boss you can optionally fight is from a side quest from Tiny Tina abf the boss can drop the baby maker SMG (one of the best Legendaries with the right prefix and parts). After you get back to sanctuary you should be a high enough level to get the good, the bad, and the mordicai side quest which can take you to the dust in the end to kill two guys looking for treasure and you can kill them both for a chance at either the Lyuda sniper and the Veruc rifle as well as an EXP Relic. To talk more about the relic the amount of EXP you can fet can be anywhere from +4% to +8%. Try to go for 6-8% and if you try to turn in the reward and you see the relic gives less do not collect it hit Esc to close the reward tab and it cancels that you turned in the side quest snd you can save and quit and go to turn it in again to reroll the % on the relic. If I was able to get on borderlands right now i would show you and walk you through it but I can't right now. Once you get the relic with +6% or more that's a significant EXP increase from all sources and all major bosses in the future will be a lot more worth farming. Hope this is helpful, sorry for rambling on

The Handsome Collection is on sale for $6 USD.

Less if you already have the base game. I strongly recommend you pick it up while it's on sale, it has everything, and that's an amazingly low price.
