since there’s so many people complaining “it’s to hard to level”, “it take’s to long”
play the game in normal game mode, the 20% exp gain from veteran doesn’t weight up the extra time it will take to run the game.
try not to spend as much obols as you can until your lvl 50 and can go to nightmare mode
Start of with speed running the main quests all the way until you killed Lilith,
Skip all side missions & random events, run past as much monsters as you can on your way to the main quests,
Once you killed Lilith and gotten your mount, go to google and search up where all the altar of liliths are and run around for days and collect them (thank god this is removed in seasonal play)
once your finished with the campain and picked up all the altars of lilith go to zone by zone and finish all the stronghold,
once those are finished do zone by zone finishing of side quests & dungeons until you maxed out your renowns in the area,
when doing side quests dont open the cachies, save them in your stash (some contains obols) keep them until your in nightmare mode to have more obols to gamble with.
if your not yet level 50 (i don’t see how you wouldn’t be) keep farming wherever to get to lvl 50,
once your 50+ (or if you have a friend that can help you) do the required dungeon to unlock nightmare mode, located in the first main city,
once your able to set the mode to nightmare switch over and spend your obols gambeling gears (weapon first),
it should make you strong enough to run around in nightmare/joining legion and boss fights, after a few drops you should have no problems at all,
from here on all you do is keep farming, legions, helltide’s, nightmare dungeons, world bosses and whispering favour’s until lvl 70, switch to torment mode and keep doing what you have done in nightmare mode until your sick of the game.
if you don’t wanna play this way that’s totally fine but don’t complain than that the game is hard and takes to long to finish, it’s no where near hard and doesn’t really take long until you hit lvl 80+ which is when it just gets boring since there’s no real goals, no step stones of real feats to accomplish, there’s no set items to collect, no unique’s worth hunting for, no rune’s or rune words to work for, even if there was there’s no trading so once you completed your character build there’s literaly nothing left to do other than run around collecting gold and materials which you will never need to use, not even on alt characters.
