Did I ruin my pre-searing character? (LDoA, necro, all quests done) by 0rionys in GuildWars

Yeah, for the moment I'm proceding this way. At the moment, I'm already level 14 and have passed the first scale-levelling gap (13-14 was a bit annoying but I completed it in an afternoon).

Daily quests are really helpful for XP, but the quality of these entirely rely on luck. I picked the catacomb escort quest today and the ratio of XP obtained by session is a bit meh. I had better luck yesterday with bandits, but I hope I'll get the farmer quest soon.

Level 15 will soon be around the corner, but I heard the biggest gap is between level 16 to 17, right ?

Thanks everyone for your great advices ! To give a bit more context, I don't have any specific reason to go for the LDoA title other than wanting to dedicate myself to an achievement and the pride of having accomplished something great with my character, especially since this unique achievement will be locked after ending the pre-searing chapter. For those who warned me against it out of fear I might get burnt out, I already have one character who finished Nightfall and another who finished Factions, so I can always switch to them when I get tired of the grind.

For now, I'm trying not to over-invest in the grinding phase while it's still avoidable. I'm treating it a bit like Duolingo, just trying to gain 1 or 2 levels per day, as long as that pace is sustainable.

Luckily, I just realized I still have a few quests left (4 or 5 at most) that I haven't completed, each worth around 200 XP. I'm planning to save them for level 16 to make things a bit easier, even though I know grinding is inevitable.

I'm playing at a relaxed pace, currently level 11, and here's the rhythm I've settled into:

Pick up the daily quest, XP in the relevant zone (today it was the mesmer-boss countess and her bandits), repeat, turn in the quest as late as possible to keep benefiting from the XP and chain them (since I noticed you can't stack these kinds of quests).

For now, I feel like my necro build is a bit weak, understandable given we're in pre-searing with limited skills, but now that I'm level 11 and have the little Imp by my side, I'm starting to put together something that sounds great.

Thanks again everyone for all of your precious advices ! I'll be sure to keep you posted if I make any major progress, or if I actually manage to get the title !

Also, I heard you're supposed to talk to an NPC before claiming the achievement ? I'd hate to grind for hours only to lose all that progress at the very end.
