Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

- lvl 1 to 10

Your racial starting city **post GU6 1-10 on trial island will result in a better starting gear set**

-lvl 11 - 20

Hunter's League questline and periferal quests in the Skrillian Point area on Qalia.

results: orange armor and weapon

-lvl 20 - 30

Trengal Keep

results: blue to orange armor, quest and drop dependent, orange cloak

benefits: easiest place to find a group in game, very fast xp. Most of your group will probably know the quest backwards and forwards

- lvl 30 - 40

Two Places:

1. Wardship of the Sleeping Moon quest line (involving dungeons of Vol Tuniel and Theleseen)

results: orange armor

benefits: the TK of your 30s - easiest spot to group, fast xp blah blah blah

NOTE: be sure to get your 'learned' ability if your class has one here

downside: you may actually outlevel the zones before getting your orange armor, some have found they had to take the 'no xp' power from their trainer - I however, have finished it in lvl range and completed:

2. Dargun's Tomb

results: orange weapon

benefits: one of the coolest final events in game, one of the most underutilized dungeons - so bragging rights basically, everyone in group is stoked at zones 'cool' factor

downside: hard to get a group together, I spent time putting groups together, no one has heard  of it - once they're in though, they are usually hooked, - be prepared to have a quest write-up right up by your side, because you won't likely have group members who know quest

-lvl 40 - 45

Graystone: as many of the quest lines as you can in those four lvls

benefits: too many to name, research it

NOTE: make sure to pick up your 'learned' ability if your class gets one here or more likely, your spell drop

downside: you may not finish everything here before 45, but I managed to - but if you want the fast way to 50 + gear, come back to it later

-45 - 50

Swamp Armor on Thestra

benefits: worthy armor to start raiding with (or just be uber with if you aren't into raiding). This questline has recently become so easy that over one weekend we got a lvl 46 war in the gear his full set. It used to take ages of repetitive faction grinding meant to slow down your progress to help not notice lack of content and endgame. They have recently adjusted drops and faction due to increases in content/endgame.

There are also very nice named events including but not limited to Hegnarian in this questline.

NOTE: research this one, its a complicated one to manage faction wise with your groups/guilds.

NOTE2: You will likely still not be 50 by the time you finish swamp armor if you are efficient. If you still have some lvling, never fear! You also should:

A. Rahz Inkur - for the red headpiece if nothing else (learned abilities here as well)

B. Temple of Tetmoegyptianfantasyname: Go for the jewelry, stay for the temple flips.

_____________________________________

With this very abreviated, meant to be researched, horribly spelt and unedited guide: you will be lvl 50 and ready to raid.

Be persistant. Put your groups together. Send /tells to that cleric your lvl who is standing in a city obviously not adventuring, and not lfg. Don't wait for the group to find you. There are 25 other people your level sitting around waiting for the same thing.

RESEARCH

Happy Hunting

Just out of curiosity, why would one want to "level fast" in VG? There is a hurry to get to level cap because....

(this is a polite inquiry not an attack)

Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

Leveling fast isn't fun, it's a hassle..I prefer going at my own pace.

You left a lot of shit out here.

30-35 craigwind = red uber weapon? this weapon reward is one of the best in the game.

32-35 River valley= hunters league armor.

Arena rewards..

Tar jeneshar...rewards

These are just some you left out .

Also at lvl 22 something you will probably want to start doing CiS to get the red weapon from the Ageless One.

Good shout..orange items and red weapon rewards. You can tell the OP has spent most of his time on thestra. TK imo is naff compared to cis rewards.

Yea you get some nice stuff from CiS later stages. It's boring as hell tho so be warned :P

I'm guessing as the OP actually compiled this list, he himself is interested in fast levelling.

Some people like levelling fast and making numerous alts. Raiding at endgames etc etc.

Admitadly there isn't much in the way of endgames just yet, but there will be , then I'm sure many will use this guide ;)

With my first toon, I took my sweet time and enjoyed many of the quest lines and low to mid level dungeons.  It probably took me 6-7 months to hit 50.  I rolled another alt that I wanted raid-ready to help out my guild ASAP and leveled as fast as I could going from quest-line to quest line.  Took 2 months.
