PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AS THERE IS A TON OF INFORMATION AND I WILL BE REVISING IT AS I FIND TYPOS OR ERRORS.
Here is a pretty general list of quests to run to get from 1 to 20 in the shortest amount of time. Keep in mind these are my personal preferences and YMMV.
I have done all quests in the game and my only goal is to get to 20 ASAP. Things taken into consideration are how fast can you get to the next quest (quest chains are prefered as you waste no time getting from one to another [WW, Catacombs, ETC]).
Note, I don't list things like quest optionals, explorer/slayer/rare areas (Vale and Necro are GREAT for XP)
XP modifier assumptions:
- Killing monsters (Max 25) 25%
- Not killing monsters (Max 10) 0%
- Disarming traps (Max 30) 0%
- Destroying breakable objects (Max 15) 15%
- Finding secret doors (Max 15) 15%
- Daily Play through (20) 20%
- First-time completion of quest (20) 20%
- Hard/Elite Streak (Max 50) 50%
- First time on Hard/Elite/Reaper (Max 120) 120%
- Flawless Victory (10) No deaths 10%
- Persistence Bonus (10) No reentries 10%
- Tome of Learning bonus: first time through quest 50%
- Buddy Bonus (Max 50) 0%
- Total 435%
- --------------------------
- XP multipliers Heroric
- Ship buff (5) 5%
- Pot (Max 50) 30%
- VIP (10) 10%
- Voice of the Master/Mantle of the Worldshaper/The Master's Gift/Pale Green Ioun Stone 5%
- Total 150%
The list is sorted by quest level and then by the amount of modified XP you can expect to get from them.
I normally run them all on R1 two levels ahead of the base quest level (a level 3 quest on R1 is level 5 so I try to run it at level 5).
Once again the goal here is to get my second racial completionest toon and worry about Reaper points when I get back to 30 (where you get thousands of RXP per quest instead of trying to hammer out a few hundred at the cost of speed)
There has been no life that I have followed this list exactly, it is meant as a guide. Things like groups and guildies and other factors will impact what quests you do and when. For instance if you get in a great group and they want to run VoN 1 and 2 and 5, go with the flow, enjoy it, it is a game after all
*REHN = Do on Reaper, Elite, Hard and Normal, it helps if you have an opener. (an opener is a second account that has the quest so you don't have to keep resetting it, the second account does not have to enter the quest). I use these as placesetters, I do them until I catch up or if I am ahead already, I don't run them as often.
