How to be strong for your level

Guide on How to be strong for your level (Slow levelling):

There are two ways to play Wartune.

The first way is to rush for the top: To be the first to achieve every accolade: Biggest, strongest, highest defence, highest rank etc. While there is nothing wrong with this playstyle, to maintain that #1 position eventually is gonna start costing you balens. Lots of balens. More balens then can be afforded to throw at this game. The other problem is that with a new server - playing this style is fine within the realms of your server. It instantly becomes a problem as soon as cross server things come into play and you discover that there are others your level, with much stronger builds as they've gone slower.

The other way is to take your time and play at a slower pace. You get time to prepare in advance your gear, plan your build. Learn from others about strength and weaknesses of new maps, gear, boss's etc- without having to be the guinea pig working it all out. Level has its advantages- in that as you advance, you open up new gear, troops, etc. But overall - slower leveling is more rewarding and has a slower burnout potential.

This list of ideas is to show you ideas and suggestions regarding how you can level more slowly, and thus build more strongly then your same level peers.

Goals: Set yourself some mini goals to achieve. Be positive about reaching them. It's important that you set something achievable. Rather then set your sights on #1 on the lists - set yourself a BR goal to hit before the next level. For example, i want a BR of 28000 by the time i hit my next level. Other ideas for goals: Aim to get an asral leveled up, or a certain BR total, or maybe a guild skill done. Once you have your goal decided, put everything into achieving it! another example i want to beat level 60 in crypt before my next level as well just some ideas.

Plan Ahead: Look into purchasing your armour sets (or the compnents of them) in advance. Purchase your rings and jewels in advance too! This gives you time, potentially to have them enchanted to the max level, fully socketed & refined, before you get to the level required to wear them. Then it's simply a case of swapping your gems over and you're away!

Battlegrounds: A Gem Fest: Most players scramble for honour. While it's true a higher Honour title allows for a better medallion, which in turn increases BR. But it is important to look at the other assets of BG - carting! You only get your first two runs per day to cart. If you keep your head down and remain incnspicuous you can average enough crystals for 3 chests from the BG's. coupled with your daily 95 gem, you can be relatively certain of at least a level 3 gem every day! If you're good, that's approaching a level 5 gem every 2 weeks.

Avoiding Unnecessary Experience: I think it's pretty obvious to say that to level up slower, you need to avoid unnecessary experience. Take for example the guild tree: Huge amounts of experience, for very little return. Sure energize the guild tree as soon as it spawns- but then leave the guild chamber. Likewise dont do more then you need to of daily quests, pick and choose the ones that benefit you most, or return least xp. Dont do the spire, don't do the bounty quests, or again if you have to pick the white ones that return the least experience.

The Catacombs: are a fantastic source of gems and are pretty much exclusively the only source of crypt tokens. But they do give out a huge amount of experience if all you want is to complete your daily tasks instead of gaining alot of experience all you need to do to complete that quest is just enter the catacombs.

Farming: Depends on how much time you have to log in and sit behind a computer all day: depends how effective your farm can be. Hourly seeds are more productive so if you can do hourly seeds all day do it. Also try to only steal 4 hour seeds so you get more of a return for your click cause you only get 200 a day.

Your academy: While it may not seem it at first, it eventually forms a big factor in your strength. Its potential keeps increasing as you level up. However: It takes a lot of kyanite ( and time for non VIP) to max out, slow levelling helps this process as you'll get more kyanite and time to time per level

Refine your gear: Your gear comes (most of the time) with 5 random stats assigned to it. These are the usual suspects, attack, defense, HP, etc. These stats add to your BR and contribute to your build. Refining these stats can make a chip in a window into a great big crack. Properly refined gear helps. For example - a mage using will destroyer has no need of any crit-refining will let you remove the crit and replace it with something else. Refinement crystal shortage? Try using some excess insignias to purchase the 300 insignia brooch from arena shop for a refinement roll!

Astrals: A major gold sink hole. Astrals can form a significant portion of your battle rating. As such it's important to keep spending gold on them, be it in huge chunks over days, or a little bit everyday. This will keep them levelling up and making them stronger.

Guild Skills: Like astrals, this is also a major sink hole for gold. Again like astrals and also like your academy, your guild skills eventually tally up to form a significant chunk in your battle powers. they are however limited by the level of your guild.

95 Devotion Chest & Daily Check In: Everyday online rewards you. Either through checking in enough days of the month or through the daily devotion system. There's a long list of daily chores to work through.But trust me it's worth it to fight for that 95.

World Boss: The single biggest source of gold and daru in the game. Attend as many of these as you can. If you can spare the vouchers, use a few to give yourself a boost to your income. Gold is the most important commodity in the game, the game revolves around gold. I cant stress enough how important gold is to maintaining character developement.

Solo and MP Dungeons: Running dungeons that are a lower level then your character, reduces the amount of xp they give. and you still get the rewards.
