No problem Slaveguy - just another note for ya...
Keep in mind that it depends what you want out of the game as well - for some, doing the quests IS the best method simply because the enjoyment of the adventure is the more important factor...
For others - the skill of strength and timing is for them - so Weapon and Stats should be thier focus...
There really i no 'right or wrong answer' here actually - so I retract that the BEST method of levelling is via weapons, but it is the best for higher REP later in Noriety Live...
but as for levelling in general - there really isnt a 'best' - just what you enjoy is the best
