Assuming, you are level 10-12 and want to level to 18 before you reach Andariel:
Won’t you get more from tower-runs in the long term? Tristram has a lot of champions, but all in all too less mobs imho. If you go Tower, it might take a bit longer, but:
- you will get at least one garantueed rune
- you have a lot more mobs on the way down, inclduding champions
So I think you will get more xp in the long term. The time it takes to end the game and start again after clearing tristram wil be time, you have to clear at least one level of he tower, so that you’ll get nearly the same xp. At least to my feeling.
Or is it realy so, that the mobs in tristram give way more xp, so the time it takes to start several more games is shorter than tower?
Or course, I’m talking about online solo or SP players 1-games here. With players 8 it realy doesn’t matter, because it isn’T necessary to make level-runs in the first place. (you will be level 18 at Andariel automatically with players 8, if you don’t rush, but just play all the content, including optional dungeons, down to her.)
your link is a youtube-video… not a text (“good read”?)
But my intent was more the fluent gameplay, not necessarily power-leveling.
as my teacher liked to say: “slwoly but fluently” Whereas the “slowly”, of course, isn’t realy inteded… But also not as fast as possible, but more most gaining as possible.
But, to be honest, there speaks nothing against to just clear both areas, does it?
on the video he shows you how to solo level at the optimum places in the game
why would you watch a video when you can just post this:
also something something level difference
1-15 Tristram runs
15-24 Tombs (Cows 21-24)
24 Ancients
25-40 Sanctuary/Baal
40 Ancients nm
41-60 Sanctuary/Baal nm
60 Ancients Hell
61-99 Baal Hell
what i dont get about OP is, if your goal is to single player kill andy why level at all just walk down there and by the time you reach andy you can kill h… her
This. There is really no need to farm xp anywhere. Just play the game normally and you should be fine. If you are too quick you might want to level to level 24 before you do act3 or while you are at it, so that you and your merc get XP in act 4 onwards.
yeah… why… the best way is:
fresh char > rush to hell > make cs runs lvl 60 > baal runs
its easy and after 2~ hours you are ready for hell baal runs.
You are all talking about power-leveling. This is NOT the intend I talked about.
Why Andy at level 18? because at that level you normally get several skills unlocked, which ease that encounter. Sure. Andy isn’t that difficult. But if you’re not careful, you still can die.
Well, thanks for the answers anyway.
