Hey all, here's some quick corrections/clarifications to the video: Tip 2: Ignore my offhand comment about using potions from other episodes, you should always use the potion that is for the same episode as the profession you are gaining experience in (you can still drink potions that are 'greyed out' because you are not currently in that episode) - Thanks to @beardedrake9983 for pointing this out! Tip 5: If you want to make your own high level epic items you WILL have to train all 3 professions to whatever level you want to make the items to. (However you are free to not do this and just get your epics from combat drops instead, personally I sitll prefer just to make items for new episodes to ~level 20 or so then get my upgrades from training combat ) - Thanks to @sand3r602 for highlighting this!
Thanks for pointing this out! I just tested this and you are 100% right. I shouldn't have made that offhand comment, to be honest the fact that the potion is greyed out hwen you are in the 'wrong episode' made me think you couldn't drink it, but you still can . My bad, I'll put in a pinned comment with the correction. Thanks again!
I'm just getting all my professions to level 20 and then I'll move on to the next episode. I find it relaxing to do it like this and I don't feel like I'm grinding in any one area for too long. I do find the high level requirements of some of the quests annoying as I would have preferred to complete the quests in the episodes too but I can't because if I get them to 20, some of those professions are not high enough to complete the quest. But my plan is to experience each area to level 20 on everything and then come back to grind certain professions so that I can complete all the quests and also start crafting stuff for myself. I love the casual style of this game and I am in no rush to reach any certain level, however I do appreciate how clever people are in finding optimum ways for levelling quickly.
Yeah I like that method too. I do that too on my 'main' but the account I reserve for streaming rushed to episode 4 as fast as possible just to show people the content so am now having to go back and catch up. I know what you mean about the quests, I was surprised by some of the level requirements, but I think they are aiming to make all episodes have long term content, it's not really designed for you to 'complete' an episode before moving on to the next. But bottom line is do what you enjoy!
@@nathanielnizard2163I did it a week after release and got the bonus xp on a quest but completed another one yesterday and didn’t get any bonus xp. Patched
@mob_boiii haha yeah I chugged a HopePort potion instead of a Crenopolis potion in that footage. Well spotted! (See pinned comment about what potions to use)
Are you sure? They did in the past and I didn't see any mention of them changing it in the patch notes. You have to use the potion for the episode the professions are in though (disregard the offhand comment I made in the video, that was wrong, sorry! - more details in the pinned comment)
@ unless it’s been updated recently or it only works on some Q then I’m pretty sure as I did for two quests and neither provided although was over a week ago.
Great question! I heard they were implementing some kind of 'Grand Exchange' style system rather than just relying on walking up to players and trading from your inventory, so you can imagine they could implement it in such a way that you trade directly from your bank, allowing any quanities you want.
Actually the leveling in bs is a clustefuck, imho if you are minmaxing level numbers merchant+lw is the way to go but it is just raw levels and money right now. If I had to redo my progression I'd go for something like rushing 300 or 400 merchant right of the bat. Then for crafting spec, if you are mason or bsmith yes you can overlevel mining and your crafting skill and craft epics up to lvl170 without touching the rest past l&f reqs, if you're guardian(as I am), it is actually imho better overally for your account leveing everything tier by tier. The way that requires least mental effort is to first train wc and carpenter until you get every log/poles of a tier then train crafting professions with gathering and mining for those wood tiers. As a payoff for leveling crafting skills now I do rogue dens and upgrade chapter 4 gear. It's very "iron man". Gradually I slowly unlock shortcuts in creno that I will use to burst train merchant later. Hard commiting on a gathering skill early on imho is a mistake because you get faster with pots, enchants and probable QoL later.
I suppose it depends what your goal is, I recommended foraging and alchemy as the most versatile skills for general gameplay, but if you are looking to just get the highest total level possible then yeah they are definitely not the fastest skills to level. I could do a whole video on power levelling, although to be honest there are probably people more qualified than me - I haven't rushed for level 500 in anything.
The focus on only one profession in Act 3 depending on class is not quite right. Because the epic weapons created depend on the level of all three professions. So ideally all three should be close in level.
Good point, but is it really worth grinding all three professions to a high level? You could just make rares to get started in a new episode, then grind the 1 combat skill to get epic items from drops. I suppose you are relying on rng in that case though! I'll put a pinned comment to clarify this, thanks for pointing it out!

Not heard anyone talking about ventures. Thanks for the tip!
@@Wandering_Wisps no problem, glad it was helpful!
You use xp pots on the region the skill belongs to regardless of where you are

I never thought xp potions would work on quest rewards! Thanks for the heads up. Is that an intended feature or a bug?
Not sure, it might be but they don't seem to have patched it yet so seems like it's intentional!
I used one for lost and found 1 week or so ago, did not gain xp bonus or at least it did not seem so in the ui.
@@nathanielnizard2163I did it a week after release and got the bonus xp on a quest but completed another one yesterday and didn’t get any bonus xp. Patched
@@GoldRocketGamers how is there an exp bonus for quest rewards? In the video, you literally got the exp the quest said you would get

XP pots don’t work on Q Rewards

@@apexbaines9014 hmm maybe we should test again, maybe it was a stealth patch. On launch day I'm pretty sure xp potions worked on quest rewards
Just working towards all quest completion slowly atm its been a good time to work on little goals here and there.
Yeah it's meant to be a chill game so I like to just slowly work towards goals and not stress. We're in this for the long haul!
Without the "note" aspect of items, How do we expect trading of large quantities of reagents working

xp pots don't work for quest rewards lol..
Yeah a couple of people have said this. They did used to work so it sounds like it was stealth patched. I will test it in game to see.
