this is a common missunderstanding...

the champion levels and the quest are 2 different things.

Just cause you have finnished Chapter one, does not make you Champion level 1. The chapters are purely there as an option to getting the weapon without having any champion levels. Gaining champion levels are done through exp and nothing else, be that exp gained from quest/killing mobs/rvr or what ever. Tho when doing Chapter 3 (the last chapter on the quests) you will gain quite alot of champion level exp from the bosses you kill and should be able to get close to champion level 3 by the end of it. The 2 first chapters offer 0 to nothing in champion level experience. You gain the weapon after completing Chapter 2 or getting Champion level 3, you get /use abilitys by completing Chapter 3 or getting Champion level 5.

Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 is rather easy to do solo/duo, only bit where u might need som aid is the last step on Chapter 2. And on neither of these 2 will you have to go near the 'new' dungeon which you are talking about. First time you have to go to the new dungeon is when you get to the so called "Cricle of 5" which is in Chapter 3. And yes.. group will be needed for the Circle of 5 since some of the mobs there are bloody hard.

That is true yes,, :blank:
but i wasnt implying that it was the only way to gain champ exp.. i was merely giving info with regards to following the quests.. champ lvl xp can be gained from all most anything inc rvr but at a reduced rate so i found on the test server.. just for info: the test server isnt full of people you know, at most theres usually no more than 5 online in each realm and one or two of those will be [devs] and alot of times just me on the hole server so whats possible is limited

If this is going to become what seems to be the norm these days and end up pro correcting and misunderstanding the general post then ill delete the flaming thing and not post anymore info on future patches..

Darkness rising does not mean more PvE, I just kept on playing like normal with my paladin on merlin server and dinger Champion Level 5 after a week or so. Only thing you realy have to do is go see the king to start it. Then you can gain the exp all the way up to Champion level 5 before seeing him again.

DR is a very nice expansion imo, it offers some more util to the chars and you dont even have to do anything (if you rvr actively) to gain from it and horses just rocks, not for RvR but for any form of PvE where you need speed, and the added bags are really nice.

well, you can run it with all classic models so wont be much difference from regular ToA client then. But you do need Catacombs in order to get DR

yes, you get the weapon when you get Champion level 3, you get the use abilitys when you hit Champion level 5.

And once again, Champion levels have nothing to do with quests, its gained by pure exp, be that from quests/pve/rvr, its the exp you get from it that matters
