Near where you spawn after character creation in Warhammer Online should be an NPC that will give you a PvP instance quest. You want to accept the quest and queue yourself up for the PvP instance. After you complete the PvP instance, even if you fail,(Winners get more EXP inside of the instance when they win) you want to turn in the quest and take it again. (This quest is always repeatable) Sometimes you will have a little time before you can jump into the next PvP instance, this is when you should find the nearest Player Quest and do it until it is maxed out.(Until your influence is capped in that Player Quest area) If you Are waiting for a PvP instance and your Player Quest exp is already maxed out, then you should run around and knock out all the PvE quests. If all this is complete, then you need to move on to the next area.



If you play this way you will level extremely fast and have the best gear. A word of warning though, if you play this way you will easily become level 12 BEFORE you are done all the PvE and Player Quest quests in the tier one area. When this happens, you have to leave IMMEDIATELY, or you will turn into a chicken that cannot do anything but run around, and you will only have 230 HP, being easily one-shotted by almost anything.(This is done to avoid exploiting by power leveling lobies) To be safe, when you hit level 11, finish anything that you want to do in a PQ, or in PvE, then queue up for PvP. When you hit level 12 abandon all PvE quests and move on to the tier two area. There will most likely be a few quests that show complete, however you only see an arrow on your map of where to go, DO NOT abandon these, as these are turned in inside of the tier two zone. Tier one has two map "halves", you do not enter tier two until you actually move through a green portal that will port you to the tier two area.

I will show why this is the faster way to level:

When running PvP instances you get: PvP exp(There are 40 PvE levels, however there are 80 PvP levels) PvE exp for: killing enemy, completing the instance,(Win or lose) and turning in the PvP instance quest to the NPC. Coin Awesome gear drops off of dead players As you build up PvP levels you also open up access to very decent gear that is really cheap from renown merchants.

When running PQ's you get: PvE exp coin Above average gear from influence rewards A chance to get a decent item from end of PQ loot rolls

When running PvE quests you get: PvE experience coin average gear rewards from some quest completions.

As you can see it is in your best interest to hit PvP often.

Things to remember:

PvP: You can queue up for PvP without getting the PvP instance quest from the NPC, you will still get exp, however you will NOT be able to turn in the quest to get more exp and coin. Later when you get to your first warcamp there will be another quest to "kill 10 enemy players", this is ALSO repeatable! So it goes like this: Get the quest for PvP, also pick up the quest to kill 10 enemy players.(If you made it to the first warcamp) Run the PvP instance. When completed turn in the quest and take it again, if you killed 10 players turn this in and take it again as well. Now re-queue for PvP. You can also take part in outdoor PvP,(Non-instanced, you will know where the PvP zone is because there are "shields" marking which side owns which areas) however how well you do greatly depends on how much PvP is going on in this area. The more the better, if there is not much PvP here, you will be wasting your time for power-leveling.

PQ's: Once you get the max level in PQ influence, go on to the next PQ, as there is no reason to hang around and do the PQ again. Make sure that the PQ is worth it, if the level 3 influence item is not a lot better then your current item of that type, skip that PQ.

PvE: This is the bottom of the barrel here. If you run out of quests, then there is a PQ or two that you missed.
