How to level up fast to 60

The fastest levellers turn in quests in batches, fight enemies of the right colour and run a dungeon once a day. There's no rested experience in Zarhold: experience comes only from fights with creatures, quests and dungeons.

How much experience in total

Level 60 takes 1,335,900 experience, and the road isn't even:

• to level 10 — 29,200;
• to level 30 — 206,700;
• to level 50 — 765,500;
• from 50 to 60 — another 570,400, which is 43% of the whole journey.

The experience for every level is in Experience and levels.

Quests: the backbone of levelling

The 26 lands hold 312 quests, all one-time. A quest is worth about three regular enemies: 9.6% of a level at level 1 and 1.6% by level 59. Take every quest in a land at once: the 4 “defeat” and 4 “collect” quests use the same enemies, so you finish them in one go. Done with a land? Move on to the next. More in Quests.

Enemies: watch the colour

A regular enemy of your level gives 3% of a level at level 1 and 0.5% at level 59. The others give more:

Colour matters too: grey enemies (5 or more levels below you) give nothing, green give less, yellow give the full amount, orange and red give more (at level 30 an enemy 6 levels above you gives ×1.3). Skull enemies can't be attacked. The table is in Enemy colours.

Dungeons: once a day

Everyone in the group gets the full experience for a run. Your first run of a dungeon in 24 hours gives 100% experience, the second 50% and the rest 0 (loot doesn't drop off). Dungeons pay best early on: up to level 20 you get the full amount, at 20–29 ×0.78, at 30–39 ×0.55, at 40–49 ×0.38 and from 50 ×0.25. Outgrow a dungeon's top level and the experience shrinks.

The experience bonus: heirloom gear

Heirloom items are the only lasting experience bonus. Every heirloom item you wear gives 1–5% (the starter ring gives 4%), and the set adds +8% for 6 items, +18% for 12 and +33% for 15. More in How heirlooms work.
