Gathering professions can usually be done with little extra effort while leveling, and can either give you a VERY minor cash boost, or give you extra materials for when you actually intend to craft at max level. I wouldnвЂ™t advise doing non-gathering professions until max level. Professions tend to be useless in general, aside from the gathering Professions (Relic Hunter, Mining, and Survivalist), Architect (if you do housing), technologist (if you intend to raid), and cooking (which doesnвЂ™t NEED to be leveled, and doesnвЂ™t count as a normal profession). Paths cap at level 30, which is the same point you earn the Tier point from it. You will eventually need to level your path for the AMP and Tier boosts you earn from them, so do keep this in mind as well. It is worth noting, once your path is capped, Path XP is converted into normal XP, but this likely wonвЂ™t happen until you hit max level zones anyway. You best bet tends to be waiting until you are level capped to do your path. Settler Missions can be done while leveling if you wish to give yourself the XP boosts, but it isnвЂ™t worth going out of your way for them. For example, Scientist missions generally just require you to use your scanbot for everything. Path Missions can be avoided entirely while leveling, unless it can be done while doing quests. The diagram shown below will illustrate the difference between these quests on the Objective Tracker. Challenges can be skipped unless theyвЂ™re part of a quest, as they tend to give minimal experience and rewards. Do not do Task quests while leveling, with only 3 exceptions: While in Grimvault (Optional during XP weekends, and if you intend to go to Arcterra at level 48), while in Arcterra or Crimson Badlands, and if progress on the Task quest is earned automatically while doing a Story quest. While leveling, you should only be doing quests labeled as вЂњStoryвЂќ Quests, whether they are World, Zone, or Regional Story quests. The zone list below shows the optimal level ranges for each zone.

In addition, Grimvault tends to be easier if you enter at level 44. Arcterra can only be entered at level 48, and Crimson Badlands can only be entered at level 49, even though these zones are for level 50s.

Adjusting your spec to have more survivability may be necessary in some situations, but for the most part, 3 levels above shouldnвЂ™t cause too many issues. Other classes shouldnвЂ™t have many issues with this, so long as you donвЂ™t over pull mobs, use appropriate class builds, and avoid pulling group mobs. If you are leveling a stalker and find yourself having too many issues in stealth, you may want to try killing mobs of a lower level, if required. Some zones may have limited quests in the 3 levels above you category, so you will probably want to finish up quest chains before moving on to the next in a zone, unless the current chain has itвЂ™s recommended level equal to, or lower than, your current level. When leveling, you should always be in zones 3 levels higher than your current level, preferably doing quests 3 levels above you as well. Expeditions do give a nice chunk of XP the first run through from their quests, but after that tend to give less than adequate XP. Adventures, Dungeons, and PVP instances do give decent chunks of XP, but never pop often enough to be worth doing at lower levels. Generally speaking, questing is the most efficient way to level.
