Solo or with a friend?

A friend and I both bought the game a few days ago. We're trying to catch up to our other friend who is level 21. So far we're level 10 but it seems a bit slow. We have been doing the same exact missions together ever since we started, which is why I'm asking, is leveling with a friend slower than leveling solo?

No, leveling with a friend should be quicker since you can defeat larger groups together. Also, look into adding more people to your group for even greater xp.

Nope. It's faster. Although the xp for defeating enemies is split between team members, there is an xp bonus given to all team members based on team size. It's +20%, I believe for a team of two. This increases for the team size.

So, defeat enemy solo: 100xp for one.
Defeat enemy in duo: 60xp EACH

With simultaneous mission completion, you can gain xp even faster.

Also, as a team, you can cover each other's weaknesses, and defeat enemies quicker.

My suggestion? Make your team BIGGER! Also, ask your level 21 friend if they'd be willing to exemplar onto your team for a while. He/she/it won't gain xp if they do, but can help you out, and gain influence, prestige, salvage, recipes, etc, and you guys will get to play together!

Another option is for your level 21 friend to find another somebody around level 21, and then sidekick the both of you up for some of their missions.

If you don't know how sidekicking/exemplaring works, find out here: www.paragonwiki.com, or ask any trainer in-game.

It's a great feature that all MMOs should steal right now.

Keep in mind that since you are new, you're going to be leveling slowly as you learn mechanics, geography and other aspects of the game. It took me TWO months to get to level 20 the first time. Now, with the right character, I can do it in a weekend.



...I forgot what experience means.

Now that you're level 10, you can Exemplar your level 21 friend. They won't get XP while exemplared, but they'll get double influence and prestige and you can all still play together. Then when the two of you hit level 20, you can drop the exemplar and all of you play and progress normally.

But to exemplar, you have to be at least level 10, as I recall :P

To exemplar, the only requirement is that the pair must be at least 3 levels apart.

To sidekick, the the higher level person must be at least level 10, and the pair must be at least 3 levels apart.

[/ QUOTE ]No, like Xalaqia said. A level 4 character can exemplar down to a level 1. A level 50 can exemplar down to level 47. The ONLY requirement is "exemplar must be +3". As long as that requirement is fulfilled, the character can exemplar.

The only time level 10 comes into it, like I said initially, is for sidekicking.
