MSQ exp

[MistakeNot]

I saw a thread about this earlier but I can't find it for the life of me.


Levelling via MSQ is supposed to be among the best ways, but I'm finding that I get more than 3/4 my exp via grinding roulettes, dungeons, and exploring lands--counting the few side quests I've done (only been doing the ones for currents) as part of "msq." Exp from quests barely give a sliver in the exp bar when I'm convinced they gave a bigger chunk/percentage than that. I'm not sure if this was intended on their part or not, or if I'm overestimating how it was in previous expansions cuz it's been years.

"Supposed to be" - according to who?

Quests give about the same relative amount of Exp in ShB as they did in HW and SB. If you do the MSQ and all the sidequests including the mandatory dungeons, it will be enough to level up one class - perhaps two classes if you have plenty of Exp bonuses.
It does seem as if leveling with quests only is slightly slower in ShB than it was in earlier expansions, but the difference is not huge.

If you want the largest amount of Exp/hour then the daily roulettes is the best source.

"Supposed to be" - according to who?

I think a lot of people are used to giving advice to those who start on 'preferred' server's. Because throughout ARR & HW, if you're on a preferred server the xp you get from MSQ is more than enough to keep you at the msq required level, if not ahead for a lot of the time. Because of this, people are used to saying "Just do the MSQ, it gives enough xp to let you level enough to keep doing the MSQ"... which doesn't apply in Shadowbringers, as the xp gained doing MSQ is not enough to level enough to keep up with the MSQ level requirements.
