The Warhammer Guide – Chaos Tier 1-2 Leveling Guide Introduction Welcome to Warhammer Online and what I can almost guarantee you will be the most fun you’ve ever had in an MMO. There are a lot of good reasons why the game has so much to offer, from the basics of combat and the quest structure to the revolutionary integration of Public Quests directly into the landscape and the constant RvR opportunities for unparalleled PvP content. What you have in front of you is the guide for Chaos on the Destruction side of Warhammer Online. To get started, you will learn a bit more about how the leveling system works in Warhammer. Let’s take a look at the three different ways you can get XP. Questing The first and most familiar way to get XP in the game is through Chaptered Leveling. There are 40 Ranks in the game broken up into 10 Rank Tiers. These Tiers will coincide with the PvP content that is available to you and the different Chapters you can access. While the vast majority of content you play through will be for your own race for this reason – there are more than 20 chapters for Chaos, those who choose to only level up through solo questing, will need to spend some time in the other races’ chapters to get all the way to Rank 40. Chapter Leveling For each race there are 20+ chapters that make up their main storyline covering hundreds of quests across the various maps that your race has access to. While the chapters are not limited to any one race, they are limited to the tier in which you currently are. For example, Chapter 4 is available in Tier 1, but those players that reach Tier 2 and Rank 11, Chapter 5 is the starting point. Public Questing The second most common method of leveling in Warhammer Online is via Public Questing, a unique method introduced to Warhammer Online. There are between 1 and 3 Public Quests in every zone for each race and they allow you to gain not only additional XP from quest objectives, but Influence. Influence builds into three levels which, when it hits Elite allows you to gain high level gear for free. Additionally, extra quests are available when you reach higher Influence levels, boosting your XP gain.
This guide does not include all of the Public Quests available because they are generally a judgment call on your part. If you want to complete them, please do and it is recommended that any public quest you can complete on your own be attempted. However, many public quests are much harder than a solo play (even with strangers to help) allows. But, if you want to level to Rank 40 with only Chaos quests, you need to complete them or you will be behind in Rank. We will be providing a Public Quest guide in the days to come that details the XP potential of each Public Quest through Rank 20. RvR Scenarios The final leveling method is through the scenario quests you are given for RvR play in each zone. These quests do not provide much XP, but they do result in solid Renown gains. Remember that Renown goes up to Rank 80 and for the most part will be necessary if you want to be competitive at Level Rank 40. So, you will want to complete RvR Scenarios every now and then when you have a chance – don’t spend too much time in them due to the loss of XP for time spent, but make sure to stop and complete them when possible. You will find the RvR quests and scenarios in Warcamps where extra quests are available. Warcamps are also where you fly between each zone if you need to change zones for leveling in another Race’s Chapters. Always make sure to grab the RvR quests from the warcamp before queuing up for any scenario. We will be providing an RvR Scenario guide in the days to come that details the XP possibilities of each scenario. The Best Leveling Method For the most part, you’re going to want to take on every Public Quest that you can, getting your influence up to at least Advanced, and Elite if possible. However, if there are less than 3 or 4 other people in a PQ, make sure to skip it as you will not be able to do much against the Champions in the PQ. Changes Are a Coming There are numerous changes being made as the game is very new and any number of updates or adjustments might be made. Check back often for new changes in this and other leveling guides. How to Read This Guide
Listed below are the steps through each chapter. Find the NPCs listed in the town in which the guide designates you should be. Tier 1 currently has each quest linked for its initial assignment. We are working to link every quest in each guide soon as well. When the guide tells you to go to the quest area for a specific quest, check your map for the nearby red quest area to find where you should be.
Specific coordinates are available when available. Public Quests are marked if they are absolutely required to complete, but don’t skip other Public Quests that you might encounter unless you are on a good pace. There are a few locations in which you will need to leave to catch up your Rank to where the guide is at. Go to your nearest Warcamp and fly to the best nearby racial area. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR GAME MAP FOR RED AREAS AND NEARBY QUEST OBJECTIVES
