Begginer's Guide On How To Level Up

First start off by getting a rush to hell, with your char.


1-60

Alright this is fun in a way. Your mission is to join Chaos Games, which are runs like baal runs, but located in the Chaos Santuary! You have a Runner(s) and you must follow them as they kill monsters.

The XP rate in Chaos is like nothing you have ever seen, or experienced. You can easly gain 10+ Levels a game, (Level 25-40) making this very fun.
Now keep in mind that level 20-25 is SLOW, but you can still manage. Either join a cow game in normal, or just run Chaos.

Once your level 60, you must do the Ancients. Get a friend to do them for you, and your off to BAAL!

60-80

From levels 60-80, you must do BAAL runs. Nothing special here, just join your normal baal games and get some XP!

80-90

You have choices here.

1. Baal
2. Chaos Santuary
3. Pit

Pit you ask? Pit has an area level of 85+, and if you join a full game and start doing pit, you can get some good XP, and maybe if your lucky some good items!
You could also do chaos santuary for good xp, baal too, doesn't matter.
It starts getting harder!

90-94

You'll start noticing this gets a lot harder from here, and requires you to run more. Just make sure you don't die!
What you should do:

Baal
Chaos Santuary.

If your hammerdin, join 8 man baal game, go to chaos, and clear that bitch, or the other way around. YOu can still baal with your pubs!


94-99

This is the BIG-BOI League. If you've made it this far, then your getting very good, and oh so close to your goal...BUT YET SO FAR AWAY. Starting from here, you'll start to crack a sweat depending on how long you play, and it will take a lot of runs for you to level.

Just like 90-94, you should do Baal and Chaos.

BUT, if your doing public baals, leave party right before your going to kill baal and party with your 94+ friends! If you kill baal, as in your hit, you will gain a lot of XP! Baal is great!

Level 99 is great respect. People say *YOU HAVE NO LIFE*, but then what's the point of ladder? Your name will rest in the hall of fame for the remaining of the ladder, and you will get OOS! and AAHS! when you join a game.

If you reach level 97+, you will already know how it feels!


If you get frustrated, DON'T QUIT! QUITTING WILL NOT HELP YOU GET THERE FASTER!!
As we all know, you can't quit D2 without getting to level 99! Make sure you S/S your last moments of level 98, as they will be great memory

Thanks.

I got to act 5 through various public groups and rushing servers at level 30, and a few people told me not to kill Baal until I get to a higher level or i'll be forced to go to the next difficulty, should I or not?

We did 18 runs through Baals pre-chamber and I got 10 levels, only took about 30 mins as the host was a level 90+ who practically killed all of the monsters in one shot, im level 40 now and wondering what to do (Sorc)

I was wondering how it worked, can you not join lower difficulty games if you kill Baal and move to the next mode? I never seem to see any really high levels in any servers :P

[undrgrnd59]

Ah good guide, I didn't know about doing it this way (I don't have high level friends yet so it doesn't matter lol)! Have some +rep. Someone should post the rushless leveling guide. All I know are normal difficulty levels because I'm a noob:

1-15 Trist Runs
15-20 Tombs Runs
20-25 Cow Runs
25-45 Baal Runs

if you kill baal in say normal and go to nightmare then you cannot see normal games but you can join them.
if you dont do it my way then dont kill baal till the level that people say or you wont get much xp.
