Inspired by the new [[Experience]] information on discovering locations, I wondered whether it would be possible to get to Level 3 before entering any of the early areas. This guide is to remind me how to do that efficiently, and may be of use to others.


Considering the main character's level before entering a new area seems to be one of the few player-controllable things that could increase experience gained.
Entering the [[Grove]] or the Temple gives 10 XP at Level 2, and 30 XP at Level 3. Those rewards are proportionate to the levelling-up requirement, but surely it must be better to be 1/60 closer to Level 4!
'''tl;dr – yes, it's possible'''
== Prologue ==
* Free [[Us]]
* Kill the sacrificed cultists
* Free [[Shadowheart]] from the pod
* Kill [[Zhalk]] and then the ghaik
In the [[Prologue]] article it notes that unless you've killed the commander before the additional Cambions arrive, the ghaik won't turn hostile so has no XP reward.
== Early Act 1 ==
* Recruit companions: Shadowheart, [[Astarion]], [[Gale]]
* Deal with the dying Illithid
* Recruit [[Lae'zel]] <ref>(do they need to be killed, or is the persuasion XP the same?</ref>
* Explore the Harper's lookout and the spider's nest
* Fight outside the Grove (but don't go in!)
* [[Edowin]]'s family <ref>(do they need to be killed, or is the persuasion XP the same?</ref>
* Owlbear's nest
Can also kill [[Gimblebock]]'s crew using ranged attacks (70XP), without entering the temple grounds. It starts with an unprovoked attack on [[Warryn]], so probably incompatible with some [[Paladin]] oaths.
