Tips

• The Master Enchanter inside the Facility Hub provides level IV attribute and life protections buffs. Look under "Services". These are cheaper than the buffs and gems mentioned in the 10+ tips.

Facility Hub Quests

At level 10 you will be able to start the Facility Hub Quests. This is a series of quests connected via a hub with high value experience rewards to quickly level from 10 to approximately 40 to 50. The hub also includes portals to the first 5 Olthoi Pincer dungeons and the first 8 Tusker Tusk dungeons. For the most efficient order to run the quests in to maximize the experience rewards, see Facility Hub Quests/Tasks by Efficiency.

10+: Ice Tachi Quest
Hub Bonus Reward: 100,000xp (fixed)
Quest Reward: 15,000xp (fixed)
This is a very simple quest, and the one I recommend completing first. You merely have to kill the Mosswart Mucker and take his sword. After collecting your hub bonus, if you use sword skill it is a decent weapon. And if not, you can give the sword to an Ivory Crafter for some experience.

10+: Dagger of Tikola Quest
Hub Bonus Reward: 100,000xp (fixed)
Quest Reward: 174,293xp (see quest for details)
I recommend completing this quest second. The monsters are more difficult, however it is not required to kill a single creature to get the hub reward. You may merely run to the end and grab the Dull Dagger. However, if you use daggers, it may be worth it to kill the final sclavus and get the proper reward, the Dagger of Tikola. there are also side rewards for the Old Nectar and Ancient Shard of Metal.

10+: Glenden Wood Dungeon Quest
Hub Bonus Reward: 100,000xp (fixed)
Quest Reward: None
This is the most difficult hub quest of this tier. There are lots of monsters to kill, lots of keys to acquire, and a fairly large dungeon to navigate. Melees may be interested in keeping the hauberk for its Strength V buff, and archers (bow only) will enjoy the free fire arrows.

15+: Baron's Amulet of Life Giving Quest
Hub Bonus Reward: 175,000xp (fixed)
Quest Reward: None
The dungeon may a bit difficult to navigate, and there a handful of keys to collect, but this is probably the easiest of the 15+ tier quests. The reward is quite nice to have as soon as possible, so I suggest completing this one first.

15+: Green Mire Grave Quest
Hub Bonus Reward: 175,000xp (fixed)
Quest Reward: 142,524xp (see quest for details)
Just like the quest above, this one requires the collection of several keys and navigating a large dungeon. The rewards (a cuirass and spear) are great equipment at these levels, and if you are not interested in them, you can turn them in to the quest NPC for more exp - just make sure you've collected your hub bonus first.

15+: Superior Helmet & Fiery Shield
Hub Bonus Reward: 175,000xp (fixed)
Quest Reward: None
While the dungeon is large and complex, there are no keys to collect. However, the final rooms can be a bit dangerous with all the war spells flying around, so I suggest running this one last.

Quests

If you need a change of pace from the facility hub, a bit of exp to reach the next tier of quests, or need to avoid it on Darktide, here are some alternated quests for this level range:

Starter Quests
Reward: varies by quest
At level 10, you can still complete other starter quests for decent exp. Completing all the quests from the four current starter towns should get you to level 13-14.

Blood Shreth Kill Task
Reward: 120,000xp (133% up to level 15)
A very fast, easy, and rewarding quest. This can be completed quickly in the Cave of Alabree, a 1-20 restricted dungeon near Holtburg. This is a component of the Rat Catcher quest.

Tusker Tusks: Male
Reward: 100,000 (100% up to level 16)

Tusker Tusks: Female
Reward: 200,000 (100% up to level 19)

Polardillo Kill Task
Reward: 250,000xp (133% up to level 19)
A rewarding kill task. You will find polardillos on the frozen beaches north of Sanamar. This is a component of the Rat Catcher quest.
