grinding or questing which gives more xp

[mdsniper7]

what is the perferred method

 

[liljackjack]

questions been asked quite a few times

In an ideal world questing is much faster then grinding.

BUT - as questing is still being developed i would recommend grinding and either instancebuddy or mixed if you want to level quickly.


Hope this helped x

And I'm on the other side of the fence from liljackjack (great name, btw! ).

I believe questing experience is undoubtedly faster--even in its buggy state, and having to help it through some areas. I also am of the belief that questing provides a much bigger buffer between you and the banhammer than grinding does. But, I have no strong empirical evidence to support this, other than forum observation, and one datapoint conducted by FPSware.

You should try archbuddy with herb/mining which give you pretty good xp.

Well manually questing is always faster than manual grinding provided you know which quests lead onto good chains and which ones are just not worth it. The same goes for HB. However I have noticed on certain classes in certain areas, that the bot will attempt very ambitious quests for your level/gear/class and will almost certainly die every attempt. So far I have gotten to level 24 ish while questing without 1 death on my mage (leveling gear, greens etc). I do not know what it is like up to 60. 60 - 70 is very fast if you get the right profiles. There is a 67 - 70 profile that got me from 67 - 69 via questing, and for the last couple bars of 69 it just grinded till it hit 70. 70 - 80 can be a little tricky. 70 - 75 is completely AFK-able via questing, however 75 - 80 is probably best via grinding.

I have done it this way on 2 of my chars (rogue, druid)

Pins.

Well, grinding instance and healer or tank id byfar the best way, orhet then that the obvious choice is questing, it would take hrs in outland to grind mobs between lvl when you get like 700xp per mob without rested ofc
Took me hrs to grind from 65-66 with a lvl 58-70 profile

ive done 70-80 half pvp other grinding

 

[Junkyvirus]

I would say Instances are the ultimate if you lvl a tank or healing class, other then that, questing easily

I've done most of my chars grinding then just pure pvp on av weekends. i've now got chars levelling through questing and its a lot quicker than just pure grinding.
