Raiderz Power Leveling

Raiderz is probably one of the first games where I didn't find it completely necessary to powerlevel. In most other games I found leveling to be a monotonous chore, but in Raiderz leveling is pretty enjoyable. That being said, some players prefer to power level, and with that in mind I'm going to offer a quick guide on it.

Quests: Quests in Raiderz are actually the fastest way to gain experience because completing them offers substantial chunks of XP. Each zone has various quest hubs and they are really well organized. The rule is you should do every quest at a hub before running to the next hub. All hubs in the game follow this format.

Repeatable Quests: Early in the game (Pre-Level 25) Repeatable quests are a huge waste of time. You are actually given enough experience to move through the main story to the next quests as long as you do all of  them at the hub. Once you hit level 25, if you've streamlined the process and purely quested you may find yourself at a strange lull. This normally happens in Riode. Fortunately Riode has several repeatable quests where both the quests and objectives are right next to each other. This can feel like a grind so I suggest Mt. Eda.

The real place you should be questing though if you can get a solid group of five is Mt. Eda normal. The repeatable PvP quests pay very well and if you're worried about too many PvPers switch to a channel without many people and rush objectives as a group. Raiderz makes leveling easy and fun in this zone.

Dungeons: Garden, Catacombs, and St. Flannel are the dungeons you can farm to level. I recommend only running Garden as much as you have to (once). Catacombs is a fantastic payoff in XP but requires you have a good group. The same goes for St. Flannel.

Suggested Route: Power Quest the zones until you hit Riode. Once you hit Riode complete the main story quests there then pump out extra levels in Mt. Eda. With a really good group I would also suggest power farming Flannel for XP.

Quick Tips:
1) Buy a bird as soon as you can. Increased speed equals increased leveling.
2) Do not worry about the Garden item set. Catacombs is right around the same level and running it gives significantly better XP.
3) Catacombs set can last you all the way through Riode if you're capable, so don't worry about farming items for the other sets.
4) Group up with people doing the same quests as you, especially if the quests are to kill a certain number of mobs.
5) If you don't want to group and are having trouble with too many players, switch channels.
