Past level 40 grinding - worth it?

[SnowFlakeToken]

I reached level 40, completed the main game, want to finish up both DLC's in order to begin the even-better AC - Odyssey, but I don't know if its worth grinding or if I should just hack the anus thingy to be on the same level as main enemies in DLC's. There is no savegame transfer or some stats transfer from Origins to Odyssey, is there?

If you have the DLC, don't you have access to the level booster? When you start the game and get to the part where you choose a save file to load, doesn't it give you an option to boost to Lv45?
Grinding to 45 by combat alone will be a miserable experience, but are there locations and side missions you haven't finished? I have finished the 4th act, almost all side quests, and every location has been cleared, and I'm on Lv46.

I think the booster is a form of cheating, personally.

But then a little cheating once in awhile can be a good thing. So I say: cheat away, and feck the grinding. If the OP doesn't have the DLC, it's a good incentive to get it.

Don't get me wrong, since I love this game (on PS4, this rig of mine isn't a gaming computer), but the grind is a little much even for an old-school gamer like me. Also, one-shot-killing hippos and crocs is quite satisfying.

I do have the DLC, but the island missions were overly hard. Taking down someone 3 levels above was too much on Normal for me and that island didn't provide enough quests to get to needed level. But I'm OK now, decided to do the cool main territory quests, like star stones, etc. Now I just need 23 silica from somewhere...

I spent about 70 hours to get to level 50 and I enjoyed some of the many quests in the process...

If you boost, you won't experience the beautiful scenery and small details that has been put into the game.

Yes, many of the missions are extremely repetitive, but after you get used to it, it kind of get fun to finish them as fast or as stealth as possible...

Eg, sniper kill everyone in a camp without being detected is quite challenging.. Or riding into a camp and attack everyone while on a horse can also be a challenge.

Do you still have access to the boost (or is it still displayed on the savegame screen) if your level is above 45? (which would be silly I agree, but maybe you can use it then for another savegame?)

If your already past 40 it doesn't seem very useful to use it. Its a different case before level 40 due to how slow leveling is post 30.
