Levelling to 100 is one of the most soul crushing things you can do - Suggestions to improve.

Anyone who's tried this knows...once you have a character this is strong enough to level to 100 and run most maps but with XP, it's all you can do and you just gotta grind hard for weeks.

Your basically max grinding and spending a lot just to get half of an XP bar in a day (if you work for a living).

I've probably spend over 100 divine just on maps just to safe a few hours. Currently 50% at lvl 98.

Having an opt in function for hander content to risk loosing XP might be good, or having the XP protection only exist within 10 seconds of boss health bar being active maybe? For example this would allow you to do T4 breach and get XP for running up to it.


Another thing I believe would be nice that I've never seen in the game but is present to a degree in LE is DOPAMINE drops that give a lot of XP or give XP multipliers in future maps. If there was a way to spec into this on atlas I'd be all in. Right now my tree is all pack size/number of monsters stuff.

I personally like expedition XP on lush isle when it came out but seems like it god shadownerfed. I used to be able to get to 1900% XP on some expeditions, and never lower than 700%. Now it feels like 700% is the max and that feels pretty bad. It was the one area I felt I could farm currency (via good lvl 82 bases) and get XP at the same time.

Now I'm just stuck to brainlessly mapping only while dropping no loot because the extra XP matters more and it probably shouldn't be that way.

I'm going to hit 100 but if this isn't greatly improved I'll definitely never do this again.

Level 100 is suppose to be hard.

You're not entitled to it in anyway shape or form.

Level 97 and over only with viable builds...

Just do it before patch 0.3.0 because a lot of nerfs coming..

Here are what ive found helps

Dont aim for level 100 unless you are prepared to suffer.

-Shrines
Get all the atlas skill sltree points for shrines, having several on you can do amazing work dor clearing.
There s spec to get enlightwn shrines but i prefer the dmg shrine to make mobbing elites easier, especailly w breach and delirious way stone.



-Precursors tablets
Aim for towers and add precursor stone that give xp + to maps, can roll up to 10% on each precursor tablet if your lucky.
You can ovet lap towers like this to get 30% easy anf a lot more ifnur lucky.

I dont bother with boss xp tablets the amount of xp you get for whole maps is better.


-Way stones
Corrupt a ton untill you get the xp only tablets.
Save those for whem your 90+ and drop them on maps with over lapping precursor Xp bonuses.
Coupled woth monster density you can rack up decent %

Avoid way stone with detrimental affix combos.
Like burning ground + temporal chain
Or accuracy/poison + multiple projectiles

Basically, Anything you think would be a problem if a horde of needle crabs shoot at you all at once.



-Purified areas
These can be great to drop your xp bonus way stone on in the middle of your overlapping towers


-Rituals
Do lots of rituals and use the xp loss prevention one ritual item, keep it on at all times. Because death at that point is devistating.

The ressurectuin ritual can be good, if it doesnt just res you to die again.
I personally prefer to just take the deeth with the xp ritbossend try from a safer distance.


-Bosses
I just avoid them, the xp bonus fro. Precursors onnbosses isnt as good ad just having general xp axross the whole map

Also bosses might straigh up one shot you at that high a level if they get nasty modifiers.


-Distance
If you can, kill stuff from off screen


Lastly
Prepare to suffer, xp after 90 is like big foot, except its silver fist and he saw you first. And he a comin.

Best advise is to Ignore trolls like this that bot their account for accolaides.

Hit 100 2 weeks ago (world #11 lv100 bloodmage)
Focus on atlas points of 90% exp+ (3 towers with 3x 10% exp gain tablets)
Dont craft but buy only high exp (35-40%) safe maps without bad mods (no suffix,from 4 chaos each)
Do 5-6 men party play and switch atlas with players doing the same exp farming (atlas prep take time and currency)
With 6 people you get double the experience compared to playing alone and its more fun! Passing level 98 is still relatively easy, its from 99 to 100 that things get complicated. It took me about 130 hours popping 150%+ exp maps in party of 6 to get there. If there are only 188 level 100 players in the world there is a reason, it takes a lot of patience and time with a well balanced build.

I Hit 99 a few days ago.

Let me just put this to you 98 was so much easier hahahaha.

I played same amount normally would be around 5-6% now im still sitting at 1% lolz

I play solo, never played in a party, i just wouldnt feel like i accomplished anything if i relied on others to help me get there (my opinion).

I cant run any maps under 40% exp gain it feels worthless and a waste of time.

I personally think level 98 should be the max, the push from 97 to 98 was enough to feel the accomplishment, from 98 to 99 was just routin and motion, not exciting.

Guys, regarding xp, on which node is it better to use waystone, on corrupted or on cleansed?

If it crushes your soul, dont do it? Its meant to be a big optional challenge for those that do want it.

I'm surprised at how low it is, that information alone should demotivate a handful of D4 zoomers.
