Some more tips, use a void gauntlet to drain your health to death warp faster when getting killed by mobs. I also recommend using the Overwolf minimap on a second monitor, enabling location streaming and highlighting documents so you can grab them as you quest. The amount of exp documents give scales up based on the total amount of documents collected, theoretically if you were to level using only documents and you grabbed them all, you would get enough experience to level from 1 to 45

[Saltydayn]

That was probably one of the most detailed and extraordinarily helpful guides I ever watched to any game.
Thank you so much dude, must have been a lot of work! Outstanding, seriously!

[QuicksilverRZ]

not sure if you saw in the patch notes but tier 1 housing is going to be unlocked at level 1 now instead of level 10 and will be a flat 5k gold

[KamiKaXi]

watching this guide for 9th time, so much valuable information here, thank you so much .... 😊✌🏾🍻

[DioDiablo]

I'm already at level 32 and I got most of my levels from just grinding my life skills. There's some things that I've noticed already that's very concerning. The two main concerns I have is there isn't much to do running around in the world, and once you hit level 60 there's very few activities to keep you busy.

[khaiser]

This is BY FAR the best guide on YouTube 🤘🏻

[NinjAaaron]

Thanks so much for this! Great video, detailed and packed full of fantastic info. Def need to watch this again a time or 2

[onewingedangelo]

Everyone please follow this guide. 100%

[Wyndex]

oh man i can't wait for fresh servers!

[MeMyself_andAI]

I love this game because they didnt make it so that its just a grind to max level before the fun stuff. The journey is the most fun part of the game. Its honestly the only truly enjoyable MMO ive played as an adult

[Tailionis]

[FinalSalute]

[ALittleKitten]

I clicked on this video and recognized the voice, how are your French Tomahawk?

[jonathanmccomas]

When I seen the hatchet gs combo with a crouch spam. I figured you had too be a meta riding scrub. But turns out your not a scrub. Good vid.

[rodneyfarmer]
