How to level up quick

[Thenishall]

And tips on this? It seems to be taking a while for me.

Takes a while for anyone. Do your quest, sail with a large crew, or head to Kingshead. I'm level 17, and it takes me about 2 days to level up. Hoping to get Grenades in 9 days.

Yea, there isn't really a "quick" way to do it.
And going to Kingshead underleveled is ******* :P (But I suggest voodoo and run around in circles like a chicken, and only attacking one...maybe two at a time).

For some weapon leveling up, I did a lot of prowling in Fort Charles and ran around to all the higher levels working on them.

For general leveling up, Sailing go after the big ships, only if you have a good battle nav strategy and do the story line, also while you're doing the storyline and it wants you to kill things, kill everything you see on your way (that you can) and if you see you're close to leveling up a weapon, just stay for that extra 10 minutes doing it

If you're under level 20, at Fort Charles. Just work your way through time after time.
Also, some people have already figured this out, but...on top of the gallows is a Grunt. A bugged Grunt. Who won't attack you (I don't think) while he's up there. Once he's on the ground, he'll attack you, but if he follows you back up the stairs, he'll just stop. And the grunts are from level 14-18, so...it's a nice start.
As for level 20+, I can't pick out just one way. I'm only around level 22. But the story quests around that level (for most) are usually repetitive, and award you a lot of 100 point notoriety boosts. So I'd say keep up with that. Or just go into the Navy forts, like Kingshead. But be stocked on tonics, of course.
Sorry I can't help more.

How quickly do you want to level? More than anything it's the amount of play time. I level by doing the quests and plundering.

[ScurvyCory]

Sail with a large crew or do your quests. I go about 1 level every 2 days. ( I'm level 20, it takes forever to level )

[Thenishall]

Where's Kingshead? How do I get there -.-

[ScurvyCory]

Look on the map, but don't go there alone if your not 25+ with really good weapons.

[Allure]

Hahaa yeah...Kingshead...don't even bother looking it up, just try the other forts instead until you're super godly, or have friends to go to Kingshead with you...

I went there alone for the gernade mission, hahahaa...took me a darn long time but I did it in the end...but holy moly. Most intense mission ever to do at level 20, alone.

To level up hand weapons more quickly, pick a weapon and then work with targets that are in the yellow range. Use the lowest couple of skills on your weapon until just before the target dies, and then use the special skills to finish it off. Takes a little longer but the experience points will be much higher (and they usually wont have done much damage to your health, so you can find another target and start over, usually, without having too waitt for your health to recharge).

With the voodoo doll, as soon as you can, put more skill pts on the skill that allows you to attune more targets. Attune 2 or 3 targets in the yellow range at a time and, because the affect of the voo doo is less when you have more than one attuned, you have to attack them more times and you can get some very high experience pts.

The bugged thug on the platform in Fort Charles is a good weapon leveler but, with no risk, it's boring (besides having to wait for him to respawn each time). I personally like a riskier, faster paced method.

It's only boring if you're paying attention. I've been sitting here reading the newspaper for the last twenty minutes with my pirate standing next to his spawn point, and mashing the control key over and over without even looking at the screen. Woot for bugs!

That's a good plan. Guess you could watch TV or read a book and do the same thing. Maybe Im just weird, but it reminds me a little too much of fishing on TT. I'd rather be doing something else in the game. I did enjoy going to Kingshead after I reached level 29 on Beta and leveling with that group of level 18 soldiers in the middle of the battle field. They can't injure you at that point, so no risk, but I guess I like that alright, becuase its so much faster paced, turning from one soldier to the next, over and over, leveling quickly and raking in the gold, too. It's an especially good place to level grenades (if, unlike me, you're coordinated enough to use them).

[Thenishall]

How can you level up while being afk? LOL.

[Vary]

Set up one of those drinking birds to hit the control key for you?
