    I've almost finished my first TR. It has been a joy. I think I enjoyed TR'ing from 1 to 20 more than I enjoyed my first trip from 1 to 20. Reliving all those quests on my main, favorite character has been great.

    I've been asked quite a bit if I'm going to do a second TR. My response is absolutely NOT. If the XP penalty was the same for the second as the first, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But the penalty for the second is just too high to make it enjoyable.

    Why even make it harder than the first TR? Since the 3rd TR is the same XP as the second, it's not like there's some sort of balance issue. Make all TR's the same XP as the first and you'll have a LOT more people TR'ing a second time.

    I hate grinds. When TR was all we had to fix characters I agreed with you. But with LR+3 & GR+3 soon to be available TR becomes only a voluntary choice if you wish to make a minor improvement in your char. Would I mind if it was no extra xp on the first TR and 50% extra on the second? Nope, that would be nice. In fact Turbine would make more money that way. But is it a big deal? Naw. The first TR anyway isn't THAT bad, and at least they were wise enough to put most of the grind at higher levels when the chars are fun to play.

    Very true. I basically stopped "grinding" at level 16. I ran what I wanted to run when I wanted to run it and didn't pay any attention to level or XP or being powerleveled or over-level penalties, etc. I started playing like I would have been playing had I not TR'd.

    The XP keeps coming in and I'll cap without even realizing it in a week or so.

    Default Wilderness

    Going back through previous DDO Casts, on one of the November shows, I believe it was a Dev that stated there were 1.7 million xp just in Wilderness areas, without ever setting foot in a dungeon. There was also enough xp to cap a character by doing each quest on normal. I think people who are having trouble with the increased xp requirements need to re-evaluate the purpose of True Reincarnation.

    I love people saying stuff like this because i know they don't grasp how long it is to cap slayers in wilderness area...Do you have any idea of how long it takes to get 5000 shavarath and lamannians in meridia?

    I hate slayers, I find them boring. However, I do know several people that do cap them out and man they level quickly.

    Capping a TR is a matter of a week of hardcore leveling. A 2xTR is maybe 2 weeks. So if you don't play it hardcore, maybe twice that time.

    To the OP. There is a very simple solution to the XP grind. Don't make TR characters. You want all the benefits without paying for it--don't like the investment of time? Don't choose that path. Or you can plan your leveling up process a bit better and find that it is possible to cap a TR without even hitting Amrath quests.
    Well I think it would actually be possible to cap a 2xTR in a day, would need 4 really hardcore buddies and some cheesy tactics though.

    I disagree with ya on this one Clay. I'm not hardcore by any stretch of the imagination but 2 weeks? I has taken a bit longer for me but if you don't have a life outside of DDO then it might be possible.

    Just so were clear, my comment isn't a slap against you or whether you have a life outside this game. I just don't think your experiences are the norm.

    This is by design and we have been told this. It is to make the journey from 16 to 20 last longer than a few days.

    I agree...extremely boring but both a great time sink when nothing is going on and do help with the accumulation of xp.

    As many have pointed out, there IS plenty of EXP available in the course of running the game to support TR, 2XTR and more. That some of it might involve running quests not on the short list is not the developers problem. It is a problem for someone removing a chunk of the game from consideration.

    Explorer areas are a part of the game and do generate large amounts of experience. If your sole goal of a TR is to rush to CAP and over and again, you are probably no more bored than you would be doing that same thing with any character. Just enjoy the ride and stuff.

    The EXP for the new quests is really in line with the challenges within. They are mostly short and "easy" and as such reflect that with the size of the EXP. I would also recommend someone worried about enough EXP for TR'ing to seriously investigate the optional awards on quests. Many of them are quite sizeable and worth the effort even on a pure EXP/Min basis. They often can be worth more than 50% of the quest EXP itself. (last night in a group doing Madstone, and got ~4500 on the optionals and a tick under 9000 for the quest (no first time bonus on that character left). Those optionals did not add a lot of time.

    Just my $.02, I think some of the upper level quests need to have the amount of xp rewarded for completing revisited. I find it hard to believe that I can net as much xp from a xorian run as I can from devils or PoP. I mean shouldn't level 16 quests give level 16 type xp and level 8 quests level 8 xp. (P.S. Please do not nerf the xp in Xorian or any other quests.)

    Yup.I said in another thread that it's ******** a lvl 8 quest (shadow crypt) is the best xp in the whole game.

    Experience earned in DDO and D&D is not absolute but relative to the challenge faced. That is why you have the over level penalties, the 18th character faces no real challenge in the Shadow Crypt and would actually get 0. But a group of 9th level character can be severely challenged in that quest. The End quests in the Necro are all high EXP (the Bloody Crypt for example) and all tend to be fairly long to complete.

    I am having a ton of fun, and a new purpose in playing while I am leveling Shaamis through his first TR.

    I am leading more guild runs, meeting new players, having fun planning how I will progress through on the available wilderness/quests at each level, so I dont get in a bad situation when I get to higher levels. I'll have plenty of reps on all of the raids when I get to the appropriate level for them.

    And I share sentiment that there is a ton of XP to be had if you do the quests you normally dont do, such as house Jorasco quests OTHER than Delera's, House D quests OTHER than Depths/Stormcleave, and House P quests (ALL).

    Shaamis has already reached 9th level, and I have yet to do Threnal, Co6, Stormcleave, Gwylan's Stand, OR Delera's. I am purposely avoiding all of the major XP runs, so I can always hit them when I need the XP later.

    If you are grinding for TR XP, of course you are going to complain about the additional XP required, but if you really enjoy playing your capped mains, like I do, then it's just a more scenic trip, which isnt all that bad......

    I do plan on TR'ing a second, third, or fourth time, and not against increased XP costs, as long as it's possible to attain that XP in one characters lifetime.

    The rewards should also fit the task. The scenic route is fun, but if the reward isnt worth it, then it starts to feel like you are carrying a large boulder on your back, for no reason.
    Shaamis is REBORN! Stronger!Faster! DRUNKER THAN EVER!!! - DeathSmile Guild on Hardcore - The Drunken Monk of Stormreach on all other servers!

Then, Log Out And Relog The Character Meant For Completion. The Character Can Enter And Gain Full Xp By The End Of The 13-15 Min Quest. This Works Particularly Well In Quests Like Stormcleave, Thrall Of The Necromancer, Gwylans, Etc. This Also Gives An Edge To Quests That Are Ridiculously Hard At Elite (currently) Under The New Dungeon Alerts And Erroneous Scaling System On The Elite Setting.

A Party Of 3 Can Be Running The Slow Content (bonebite Ie The Kobold's Ringleader) On Elite Using The Short-cut (jump Over The Initial Boxes After You've Cleared The Kobolds - Do Not Smash The Breakables As You Need Them To Complete The Jump For Some Characters!). Meanwhile, Another Party Of 3 Can Be Running Information Is Key On Elite As Fast As Possible (fast = 4-5 Mins). By The Time Completion Is Achieved In Info, The Kobold's New Ringleaderr Group Should Be 2 Mins Out From Completion. Run To The Bonebite Hideout And Jump In (after Leader Party-invites) And Run To The End To Dispatch The Ogre & Complete The Quest. In 8 Mins You've Achieved 4-5k Xp On 3 Characters And 2-3k Xp On 3 Characters. Repeat As Fast As Possible On Elite. Do This Until Characters Begin Suffering -50% On Quests. Then Revert To Hard For A Bonus 25% And Then Again On Normal Ffor Another Bonus 25%. This Same Tactic With Kobold's New Ringleader Can Be Used With The Smuggler's Warehouse And Bringing The Light. You Can Also Swop Bringing With Info And Smuggler's With Bonebite. These Combinations Will Allow 3 Characters To Reach 50k Xp In 1 Hour 30-40 Mins And Another Set Of Characters To Achieve 30k Xp In 1 Hour 30 Mins Without Ever Leaving 4 Quests. Repetitive? Yes. Fastest Way Possible? I'd Bet My Life On It Because Now You've Got Other Quests Reserved For 1st Time Completion Xp To See You Through The Rest Of The Way.

    ?

    -----
    Wether it's a good thing that the quickest way to level is like this I leave to the devs...same as going invis and zerging to objectives, skipping optionals or splitting part of the party to handle optionals, apparently is the way they want the game to be played by those primarily interested in xp.

    Personally I think it'd be nice if there where more optionals, optionals being more difficult than the rest of the quest and getting optional based +% xp would go some way to make taking the time and exploring a bit more "advantageous".
