Best way to level? 66-72
Currently a level 66 Siren, have completed UVHM but almost none of the sidequests (saving for all unique blue items especially moxxi's weapons and various other things)
I normally play with my brother who is a 65 psycho currently, we have killed a couple raid bosses and random farm things like the BNKR for level appropriate stuff every level or two.
However, I'm now stuck playing on my own and mindlessly farming random monsters feels way too WoW for me, is there a better way of getting to level 72 without sidequests? I've done basically everything that rewards a green or worse, and am fresh out of ideas.

I used Pyro Petes Bar to level my commando from 62-72, didn't take too long.

If you don't want to do Missions, this is by far the quickest and most productive route. Not only does it provide decent XP, but you can keep using the Torgue Tokens you recieve to buy a new DPU Harold every other level so not all of your weapons become out-levelled.

i tried farming savage lee in three horns you kill skags near spawning point sometimes tubby and rabib (5000xp and legend mod), kill boll 5000+ xp bullymongs and savage lee (5000+ xp)
only takes 5 mins and chance for harold or fastball although i never got one to drop did get new legend mod and wtf shield from tubby skag though. occassionly farm hunter for bee shield or treeants and your good to go

If you don't have any Northfleet then I do NOT recommend Pyro Pete's Bar..better and faster than Pyro Pete's Bar is at Arid Nexus - Badlands:

- up to 10 rabid skags (5k each) (depends on spawn luck)
- bone head 2.0 (robot) (5k) (is always there)
- tubby creatures (sometimes) (5k)
- some other skags for 1k
AND
- Saturn for 21k (is always there)

The run takes like 10 minutes, maybe less if you are fast!
I did more than 30% of lvl 71-72 in only one run!

Ye, Badlands is another good way, but if you do have a Norfleet, the bar brawl is by far the fastest method. Less than 2 hours from 61 to 72.

Another way to level up is farming King Mong. High xp, relatively high chance of spawning and he drops Badabooms one of the best launchers in the game :D

I've still to figure out how anyone can level in 2 hours. For me, some the Level 61 Norfleet helped at first, but around level 66 it started fizzing out on me and by 68 the Enforcers became all but immune to it. Norfleet was still useful against Rats but the bigger guys I had to use the Harold on to stand a chance. Quickest, it took me about 5-6 hours to level from 61-72 using the Bar. Do the quicker levelers use Gibbed to increase their Norfleet level alongside them?

If you have an infinity and a bee, go to the warrior's room, put a rubber band around your mouse button and afk for an hour, let the rubber band kill rakks for you.

If you don't have an infinity, I recommend farming warrior for decent exp and good eridium, farming LLMs for decent exp and oranges, or badlands for good exp and some tubbies.

pete's bar but you won't pick up any worthwhile weapons there.

Guess it depends on class and what class mods/relics you're using. Even on 72 with 61 gear, a Fire Norfleet was still killing Ultimate badasses in 4 or 5 shots. All I did was stand near entrance and watched them all die for majority of the time. Gunzerker with Norfleet in one hand and the other logans gun for quick rpg ammo along with Sham shield. I did the same thing for Comm, who gets nice rpg/gun dmg boosts and was slightly faster than Gunzerker. Mechro was the fastest with Anarchy she was doing over 12M dmg PER orb with a lvl 61 Norfleet, nothing stood a chance against her ;) I may have died 5 or 6 times in total with all 3 characters.

I never use modded items btw.

thanks for all the tips, i used most of them, then i found an infinity on a midget run and left it overnight.
now level 72, anyone need a siren buddy to do random stuff with? gear's improving daily and so on
Jon//Bl00dbath Sep 26, 2013 @ 12:11pm 
didn't have any northfleet or anything, now have a DP harold, a couple of pearlescent random things, and am trying to get a set of moxxi's toys to make killing stuff a little faster.
If anyone knows of a solid slag SMG/Assault Rifle that's easy to get (my Rubi is corrosive) that'd be awesome

What spec are you playing Jon? Once I hit 65 or so, I was able to get thought lock and ruin. EVERYYHING is perma slagged and bunched up in tight little groups. I haven't needed a slag weap or grenade since.
Squishface Sep 26, 2013 @ 12:22pm 
TL/RUIN also made digistruct peak a cake walk. I got to OP8 in one day, only had to pause once at OP5 to farm a fresh DPUH and BEE.
Jon//Bl00dbath Sep 26, 2013 @ 1:23pm 
i didn't take thoughtlock nor cooldown reduction cause my class mods and blood of the ancients or whatever it's called get the CD so low I can't seem to make it any quicker, and a lot of the time I didn't like it continuing cause it wouldn't restart the cooldown.
so I'm in as far as converge, down the healing tree for things that keep my brother alive when I'm playing with him, and in ruin/phoenix etc,
currently wondering what kit I should prioritise before I start levelling OP, I should have a full stack of 72 gear in a few hours.
I know I need a bee and I was wondering about a slagga or something, and I mistakenly took Tina's claptrap grog nozzle quest WAY too early.
Have legendary siren (level 69 I think) but would much prefer cat, and things.
What's the SMG that everyone seems to use, looks like it fires in a horizontal fan of 6, DAHL manufacture?
