Secrets of a Successful Leveler
BEGGINING NOTE
this is not a hardcore guide, if you can ding 31 by straight grinding in 6 days /played, go right ahead, youve already passed this stage of your game. If you suffer from the severe case of altaholicisim, then read on, as these tips should help anyone suffering from this problem.
Listen to good music!
I know it sounds silly, but listening to the same tracks over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and overand over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and OVER again gets really boring and makes you get bored from the game.
Ok this is the part that really helps, more than the moods, more than the logical thinking, more than questing. This is what will help you keep your sanity when you play for hours on end, music.
Thats right, it's proven, music helps you level a LOT easier. Not just any music though, music that really gets you going, gets you pumped up, keeps you awake.
A good list was written up by one of the DJs for one of the radio stations I listen to (Which will be mentioned shortly) of decent artists to look into for your grinding needs:
Electronica:
1. DJ Tiesto
2. Paul Van Dyk
3. Ian Van Dahl
4. Orbital
5. Trance Control
6. Infected Mushroom
7. Armin Van Buren
8. Ayla
9. Kimball Collins
10. Kraftwerk
11. Chemical Brothers
12. DJ Oakenfold
13. DJ Sasha & Digweed
14. SaxionPike
Metal & Things of the Rock or Alternative Persuasion:
1. Sonata Arctica
2. Tristania
3. Black Label Society
4. Iced Earth
5. Primal Fear
6. Symphorce
7. Lacuna Coil
8. Within Temptation
9. Dragonforce
10. Nine Inch Nails
11. Drowning Pool
12. Korpiklaani
13. Rhapsody
14. Switchblade Symphony
15. Type O
16. Dimmu Borgir
17. Iron Maiden
18. Epica
19. The Gathering
20. After Forever
21. Nevermore
22. Killswitch Engage

Some other good people:
Basshunter (one of my favorites hes an EXTREMELY famous dance music creater from sweden who makes gaming music)
My Chemical Romance (there fast stuff not the slow ones)
The Used
System of a down
Sum 41
Paul Stanley
The Killers
AFI
Billy Talent
Ok so if you're not into that kind of music and preffer listening to some radio. Anything that keeps your mind from all the quests your doing and all the mobs you're killing. It makes the time pass faster and makes it more enjoyable.
My personal favorite:
Or
(I know these are nothing like ones suggested but i just love em!)
Tip: Don't buy of the Auction if you are grinding because what's the point when you buy full set for a level like '17' when you are going to get to 31?
If you get bored, do something else!
If your not listening to what im saying, doing straight grinding, not listening to any music and not getting involved in the game, you will get bored. When that happens, do something else! farm a bit, check some prices on auction, PvP or just help a buddy! . Just take a break and keep on your chosen character. The last thing you want to do is make an alt before your completely done with your character.
Join a good guild!
You play an mmo for social interaction, then use it! good guilds help keep you focused on your character and help keep you enjoying the game. I was completely bored before i capped my character then i joined a totally aweomse, friendly and respectful guild who enlightened my day!
Get a life!
Exploring outside the game is a really good way to keep you interested, it keeps you from playing so much you get burned out fast, and it keeps you from, well, losing all of your friends =O
Start a twink!
if you no way can PvP well on higher level toon, purchase some low level gear, make an alt and PvP till the cows get home, when you get bored of that just stop think, then level your main again!
Any more suggestions? Post em here!
My soundtracks this month.
