Kinda late but what do you guys think about this?

im talking about ao bells not deepwoken bells what are you on :sob:

What

Am I having a stroke or are you having a stroke

can’t even talk about fake things on the forums anymore :sob:

Paying just to be level 100 would be terrible. At the bare minimum it should give you a ketch with decent speed and some crew members, nothing is worse in this game than making a new file and having a horrendously slow ship

Definitely

Either that or make it a one time purchase but with no gear

I’m 90% that’s what it is

And to everyone that’s saying that it’s a predatory p2w feature, are you stupid? It’s just paid qol there’s no actual advantage other than you don’t waste a couple hours

(You don’t it’s just there if you are lazy)

i agree. if you hypothetically boost to lvl 300 and you’re given even a sailboat, you might be cooked

Even if ao is your favourite game of all time there is no way anyone would find enjoyment in repeating the story for the 20th time

I like perfecting my methods to be perfectly levelled every time.

anyway people calling vetex greedy and “predatory” :sob: when you dont even have to buy it, its just there for the people who do want to skip ahead, of which there are many

But you’re also wrong

People pay to not play AO.

Its not predatory because its not really preying on anyone

anyway. i don’t really see any problem with this, but thats probably cause i only play on a warrior slot and i have a zerker i hop on from time to time to pretend im homelander. I dont bother creating new slots because im happy with those two builds. So the perspective is different

I guess its infuriating to enjoy making new slots but hating the grind so when you see a feature like this that you need to pay for, it makes you want to toss a table.

i do agree that a trial of one but in ao is a good idea for something like this but we don’t understand (or maybe i don’t understand) How much each buyable level milestone costs. if its something cheap like 100 or 200 robux, thats lightwork. 500 is maybe pretty high

that being said, he should also add extra methods of quicker exp grind. i heard people are reaching max level in like 7 hours or something? i dont know how they’re doing it

@anon97761866 cough cough

so true, imagine having to play through the ENTIRE GAME AGAIN with a New Build with different fun abilities and mechanics while maybe taking a different story path with different dialogue choices! (3 hours if you know what you’re doing)

I usually take 6 hours or so to get to a “starting post-story” character, with no gear from other characters. For me that means I got the first Sameria spawn point (I don’t do the rest of the story since it’ll be trivial to do once the story advances, bank some experience that way), upgraded Edward, Enizor, dodge reflex, and level cap.

  • Best way to get levels is diving spots and treasure maps. Try to point your ship towards where you’ll respawn if there are sharks.
  • Avoid quests that can take a long time, such as the pirate quests (unless you plan on picking up Boxing), the anglerfish quest, or the tomato quest.
  • Pick up explosive barrels where you can find them and put them on your ship to sell later. Pick up two crates when you leave a town so you can sell them at your next destination.
  • At level 30, pick up a bronze rod (for fishing quests), and speed sails and armor for your ship. Enchant, prioritizing the rod first, then the sails, but don’t worry about the armor enchants.
  • Make sure you’re ready for the Ravenna bosses before you talk to the Tiberia bandits, since that’s when you die entering Ravenna towns.
  • Try to take quests with similar or same goals (eg. Cannon Fist bounty quest (if you want Cannon Fist), Dodge Reflex criminal hunt quest, and Shell Island criminal hunt quest; or multiple fishing quests like the 3 at Ravenna or the 3 low level ones including the Edward quest)
  • Exploration experience is pretty good, so pick up the items and chests you run across.
  • If you turn in your ore before talking to the NPC I can’t remember in the back of the mines on the second day, an extra box of ore will appear in your hand for you to drop off. Go the extra mile, show that you’re a dedicated worker!
  • Consider leaving the game and returning when it will be faster to respawn, such as during the Sky Island portions of the game and heading to Mount Orthys after the Jaws pillar
  • There are ways to climb up Mount Orthys, just make sure to go to the entrance to the caves so you can progress the main quest.

My best method is just to get it all done, even outside the story, and follow a very specific pattern at Redwake and the Sky Islands.
Of course, by “All”, I mean avoiding the giant bananas quest, avoiding the dark sea, avoiding the fortified pirate ship quest, avoiding the cook big meal quest, etc.
