How to start at level 1 as ICONIC??

[awar1234]

Hello all! I thought i read this somewhere, but cannot find it. sorry if I am making mess of forums.

I want to Play through all content as iconic character. (Favor equals free TP)

Is there a way to Reincarnate as PDK and start at level 1?

Thank you for the help in advance.....

Yes,

When you choose Iconic it will start you as level 1 and drop you in its starting area. To play as level 1, just don't level up in this starting area. Instead leave the area.

Notes:

You will have enough XP to become level 15 so you will not be earning any XP until after you level up to Level 14.

You will not get the Gear Chest in your pack until you level to 15

So NO XP or BB??
Seems Harsh. Why cant i start with ZERO XP?
Is there a way to do this?

No, Iconics were meant to start at level 15.

No.

On the other hand, you can pretend it's a name your own bravery bonus event. At some point you can say "gosh, i think i've played enough to be level 15" and you can make it so.

What you need XP for? You've already got it. You can level up whenever you want.

You will get Monster Manual XP and Daily Dice XP adding to your total - but I dont think anything will be added.

if I start an iconic and refuse training (to start at level 1), is it possible to use a Heart of Wood +1 to reincarnate into a different class at level 1? or does it still require to use up all your banked experience to level 15 before you can reincarnate?

if I did that (switched out of the default class), do you still get the iconic gear when you hit level 15? I am assuming it just magically appears in your backpack when you level up to 15?

if I stay at level 1 and just favor farm, with all that banked experience, do heroic deeds still drop as if you are level 1? or does the system know that you have the banked experience, and no renown deeds drop?

nonsense, you gain exp normally (though korthos barely makes your exp bar move).
last couple of lifes i tr ed into an iconic and made him lv 3 and started a new bravery bonus streak (lost the last one, thanks to lousy epic raid scaling mechanics),
i ran up to lv 8 (before going to 14) and noticed all the exp was banked normally.
no idea if this is wai

Disclaimer, i shortened the quote somewhat to get to the line i'm replying to(normal practice on normal forums), but some people start crying when i do that.
So if it bothers you let me know, i will edit the post to include the non essential lines.

You can't use a +1 heart while holding levels

If you try you'll get some message about leveling up first.
