| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| 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!
| |
|
| |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
| The other (very meta) way to game XP is to dismiss companions; on rejoining the party they gain the main character's XP. These XP disparities come from [[Inspiration]] events.
| |
|
| |
| '''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]] {{verify|Do Damays and Nymessa need to be killed, or is the persuasion XP the same?}}
| |
| * Explore the Harper's lookout and the spider's nest
| |
| * Fight outside the Grove (but don't go in!)
| |
|
| |
| Can also kill [[Gimblebock]]'s crew using ranged attacks (70XP), without entering the temple grounds ([[Explore the Ruins]]). It starts with an unprovoked attack on [[Warryn]], so is probably incompatible with some [[Paladin]] oaths.
| |
|
| |
| == Act 1 — The Forest ==
| |
| * [[Edowin]]'s family {{verify|Do Andrick and Brynna need to be killed, or is the persuasion XP the same?}}
| |
| * [[Owlbear]]'s nest
| |
| * [[Scratch]]
| |
|
| |
| It's an open question whether it's better to venture into the [[Forest]] or to uplevel in the Crypt or Grove first.
