Chug an Elixir every 30 minutes for a perpetual 5% Experience Boost for your Alt. Iron Barb Elixirs, Precision Elixirs, and Assault Elixirs are easy-to-craft Elixirs that give most builds the biggest bang for their buck.
Playing in a group is one of the best ways to level your Alt quickly. Accelerate your progression by taking advantage the 5% experience nearby player bonus and an additional 5% bonus if they are Partied. Clearing Events, Dungeons, and Strongholds tends to be much quicker in a group as well.
If you want to do a solo playthrough on your Alt, and are skipping the Campaign (already completed on your Main) but have yet to do all your Renown or acquire your build’s Codex of Power Aspects, you should acquire Renown (Up to Reward Tier 3 in each region until World Tier III – Nightmare Difficulty)/Codex of Power Aspects from regions in the following order:
Region | Approximate Alt Level Range |
Fractured Peaks | Levels 1-20 |
Scosglen | Levels 20-30 |
Dry Steppes | Levels 30-35 |
Hawezar | Levels 35-40 |
Kehjistan | Levels 40-45+ |
If you already have completed the Campaign, Tier 5 Renown Rewards for each region, and have acquired all relevant Codex of Power Aspects for your Alt on your Main, you can take advantage of a couple of fast-leveling strategies. As of Season 1, you only benefit from killing monsters up to 10 levels higher. Beyond this, there are no further benefits to your experience gain.
Level your Alt fast by running Strongholds, notably Kor Dragon, over and over. The key is to NOT KILL THE BOSS so that you can keep reloading the Stronghold. If you are doing this solo, you will have to level to 25-30 first in Fractured Peaks.
Certain Dungeons such as Sirocco Caverns (Level 20) and Uldur’s Cave (Level 45) are maximally efficient for both loot and leveling on your Alt. If you farm these dungeons about 5 character levels lower than the minimum levels of the monsters, you can find AND use loot of higher Item Power Tiers than would otherwise be possible at your character level, hyper-accelerating your progression; this is while gaining experience quickly as well! Since the monsters are higher levels than you, a bit of pushback from the monsters is to be expected.
Gathering Legion Events provide massive monster density. They are a ripe opportunity for quick-leveling a character. Take advantage of them before they go live!
Getting your Alt power-leveled by a high-level player can be optimal if you have already completed the Campaign, achieved all of your Renown Reward Tiers, and acquired all of your build’s Codex of Power Aspects. As of Season 1, you only benefit from killing monsters up to 10 levels higher. Beyond this, there are no further benefits to your experience gain.
Specifically you can get the following boosts from high-level players:
First, start with the skip campaign selected and then get a friend to help or find a speedrun helper to do both W3 & W4 Capstone dungeons – W3 being Cathedral of Light, and W4 being Fallen Temple.
Next, proceed to an exp farming spot. This is another good time to have a friend to reach level 50. Overall, this should take less than an hour!
Count leveling in exp dungeons via reset or join Nightmare Dungeons farming for Glyphs exp. Your goal is to get your core Glyphs to level 15. In total, this would cost 5m-10m gold or take 1-2 hours of your friend’s time.
Remember to start looking for Rares After W4 & Keep Good Legendaries we can also craft from the Codex.
The next goal is to be able to farm exp dungeons or Nightmare Dungeons after level 65+. Use Rares you found during leveling or buying key cheap pieces for 1-2m gold on Discord. This way, you can then solo/co-op farm for exp by resetting the method or even start earning gold from selling runs using your alt.
One last tip is that you should have a mid game build ready for your alt class, one that is not unique dependent & can function with crafted Codexes is key!
