In Star Wars: The Old Republic, you are pretty much required to level up in the game to really get the full experience. Therefore, I’ve compiled this short SWTOR Leveling Guide for your use.
There are two main ways to level your character in SWTOR, the first is pure grinding, this entails killing enemy mobs over and over again in a small area until you’ve leveled enough to move to the next area and kill different mobs over and over. This is a very boring, yet somewhat effective way to level your character in SWTOR, however, I recommend the second option.
The second option I will discuss in this SWTOR Leveling Guide is questing, this is a very common form of leveling in any MMORPG and typically the fastest and most enjoyable. This is even more relevant in SWTOR because of the in-depth storyline and quest chains that are available.
Why quest instead of grind you may ask? For one, the quests will give you bonus XP and often require you to go kill a certain amount of mobs to complete the request and then return and receive your bonus XP. Now, grinding mobs does have its perks, as you are able to stay in one area for an extended amount of time and sort of multi-task and watch TV or movies while grinding, whereas questing requires a bit more focus.
In the long run you will become extremely tired of just grinding in SWTOR so leveling is a lot more enjoyable if you follow the quest-lines and heres why: They keep you interested with voice acting, storylines, extra rewards including credits, XP, and cool items.
When it all comes down to it I highly recommend questing for my SWTOR Leveling Guide, but it is entirely up to you and how you feel about either of them. I will be sure to update this SWTOR Leveling Guide with more information as it is released.
