level faster in SWTOR

By Luis Henrick


The MMO genre was turned upside down this year when Star Wars The Old Republic was introduced. The storyline is quite interesting and the players are amazing, but the grind is extremely boring. Leveling is as bland as can be and it never gets much better. I was upset to find that this is still the same in SWTOR, so I picked up a guide to help me ease my way through the grind. It was amazing how fast I leveled.

I am one of those people who hate to use a strategy guide, but it was my best chance for leveling with my friends. I was able to level faster than people who played much more and hit level 50 in a mere 2 days. This allowed me to join an elite guild and see endgame content way faster than I would otherwise. This was great because I have very limited time and really have to optimize my playing time. I was also able to jump into Warzones and fight some really skilled players. When leveling, I knew where to go and how to get there. Now, I am fully decked out in amazing gear and playing in one of the top guilds.

How leveling was much easier

Leveling in every MMO is virtually the same. You're sent out on some boring grindfest to kill a hundred creatures and it is very boring. Guides allowed me to level more quickly because I knew exactly where mobs spawned. Even with the in-game NPC interactions, it wasn't fast enough. I found myself stuck looking for mobs to kill or dying over and over. Hard to locate quest items are always marked and bosses are no longer a mystery to find. It is much simpler to look in my guide, find the location of my quest and go in and finish it. I don't have to waste a second of my precious time by trying to locate my quest objectives.

Leveling is often much harder because you don't know the right build for your toon. While there are many decent ones, there is always one that will push out the most damage or healing. This allows you to kill mobs much easier and not die. If you are a group player, tanking and healing is also much easier with the right build. If a different specialization was chosen, I wouldn't have leveled quite as fast.

How many times have you had to run around in an MMO and find materials for your professions. This is fun for the first few seconds, but gets old very fast. SWTOR has crew skills that are essentially crafting and gathering skills combined into one. They even added quests for these, but they are still time consuming to level. However, I was able to figure out how to level them quickly and knew where all of the resources were located. I would send my companions out to gather everything for me, while I continued to level. It made everything much faster and easier.

Warzones were also much easier. I am a PvP junkie and spend a ton of time trying to become the best in my class. However, I learned some vital strategies for killing my foes and easily dominated everyone I came across. It was great to jump in and feel like I have been playing for years
