    Post Bravery Bonus up to lvl 6 on Dbl TR

    It doesn't quite get the job done without an XP pot to get you to 6.

    Ran every quest lvl 1-3 as a ViP on elite only (missed Bravery only on one quest - STK pt 1 - we had a lvl 6 in the grp).

    Running the quests lvl 1-3 all elite max Bravery with no farming gets you just shy of rank 24. That's two dot's away from lvl 6.

    Close, but not quite. Also note that some of the chain quests screw with Bravery Bonus.

    Catacombs is all lvl 3 - cool.

    STK is 3-4-4 - okay...

    (edited) Tangleroot is 3-3-4-4-5-5-6-6-7-7 - that is going to make Bravery streaks interesting!

    I am not sure if anyone else was as interested in getting to 20 as a double TR as I am without repeating a quest (we knew it couldn't be done, I just figured I could get past lvl 6...), just putting it out there.

    Maybe solo, but a full (or even partial) group of 5s? you should be able to under-level the last 2 easily.

    do part of the chain go lvl up/do other lvls 3 elites till you hit lvl 6 then go back and do the lvl 4 parts of tangleroot then other lvl 4s etc. dont have to run the chain in one swoop if your trying to do it with 0 repetitions

    I know they dont account for much, but have you run the solo only quests?

    Also, as mentioned above, you could leave in the middle of the chain if the next quest is too high.

    Solo? yeah this is good. I still think a lvl 5 group can do the whole chain hmmm, I have a lvl 5 sorc, I'll try a pug tonite to test.

    Did you have a pot running?

    Getting to 6 from lvl 1-3 quests is interesting though.

    What will 4-6 get you to?

    AFAIK, they should not break the streak. The quest window should say so when you click on the dungeon entrance.

    I agree, my Sorc is 4th life. I die sometimes, but thats usually through bravado and stupidity, not that it can't easily be done. I am worried about the general squishiness of pugs that I might be running with. What is fine for a 5th lvl TR is NOT fine for the 5th lvl first time ever player...

    No, solo quests don't affect the Bravery Streak at all.

    Did not run a pot until I ran out of lvl 3 quests. I drank a 20% when I went to farm Bonebite and Info to get lvl 6. Bravery can be 2 lvls over the normal level of the quest, so a Lvl 3 quest elite = a lvl 5 quest. I am trying to basically run at lvl. A lvl 5 quest on a lvl 5 toon. Where will 4-6 get us? I'll let you know.

    Ah good to know, although about the only thing I use solo quests for is a "super shrine" for a full recharge, when I'm close to one

    This is odd to me given I'm experiencing the complete opposite on my tr 2 artificer.

    With the exceptions of repeating Elite tear of dhakan once, and Threnal west parts 1 and 2 once each, I've done nothing but run each quest once on elite also. The repetitions were solely to help out others; though I appreciate tear is an extra solid 10k.

    I'm happily sitting two dots into level 11, having just levelled after finishing every level 8 quest on elite.

    I should state I've also completed Co6 (a few qs are above level 8), done Tempest's Spine, the Shadow Crypt, and the Last Stand - which sounds like a lot, but wouldn't account for much more than said 2 dots into 11 if that. The only reason for those completions is I saw lfms going for quests I dislike soloing and felt so comfortable xp wise that I didn't feel obliged to wait till I was higher. And sorrowdusk is a pain to walk back to :P

    Maybe it's artificer trap bonuses or avoiding pugs for the most part to keep the extra 10%s, but I'm very comfortable so far with only very marginal repetitions.

    I do remember early on I did have to run a few elite quests under level, but the total xp for doing each quest once on elite 2 levels above vs the required xp for the next level curve actually gets better for a while after the first few levels - I've been forced to save slightly increasingly more for the past 4 or so levels.

    Thumbs up

    Death - I think your right on. I was within 2 dots of 6 when I finished the lvl 3 quests with no pots used, just +3% shrines and 5% voice only for lvl 5.

    You being 2 dots into 11 with minimal repeats (although there is probably 100k in those you mention) seems about right, especially seeing that lvl 5-9 has some high XP quests.

    The XP with Bravery is very close to meeting the leveling needs of a 2nd TR at least through lvl 14 (as I figure it) which is what I really want from Turbine. IMHO, there should be a path to cap without ever repeating a quest. Even on a 2nd TR! I am OK if that path is with 20% pots burning...

    Well, lvl 6.2 now, bravery streak at 57 and going! Just finished TR all on elite at lvl 5 (1st two parts) and lvl 6. Three man guild grp. Not a problem for a zerging fire savant.

    The way my TR-duo-partner (who also happens to be VIP, lucky me !) and I have been handling quests is to run just about every quest that is 2 levels below our current level, and nothing higher. This does mean that quests like the Depths Series, Tangleroot, STK, Waterworks etc. get broken up in the middle. However, we're okay with that! We have pretty much all the named loot we want from these quests, so rushing for an end reward doesn't appeal to us, and we'd prefer to preserve the higher level quests in there chains for future leveling.

    It does have an odd broken up feeling to it, but so far we're leveling with either none or just a couple quests unrun. (Granted, we're only on our first TR life, so its going to be a different XP experience).

    Remember - Repeating a quest on Hard incurs no overlevel XP penalty, an dyuo get that 40% first time bonus. A few of those should fill the gap if you're just a smidge off!

    As said by others, I saw that Solo quests do not break streak, and will say so in their XP chart...BUT, I am not sure what would happen in a quest that was not Solo only- has anyone tried to go solo on a quest that has other options (n/h/e) and does it preform the same way?

    IIRC there are none left...all quests that use to have solo as an option along with n/h/e modes were switched to casual.

    The only solo quests left in the game have one mode only...solo....that's it.
