Skirmish Experiment
The Skirmish Experiment – The Finale
Aug 8th
What a long, strange trip it’s been. 15 levels solely through skirmishes. I decided to end the skirmish experiment while I was on holidays because I wanted to continue leveling my Rune-Keeper, but I didn’t always have the time to go in and run a skirmish, as quick as they are.
My original goal was to test out a few different ways of leveling characters and to report on my experiences to help readers of the blog figure out what would be the best way to level a character for them. I now think that perhaps this original goal was a little flawed.
First of all, I don’t think that there is a “best” way to level a character. When I first started the skirmish experiment, I thought that best meant fastest. Now I’m not so sure. With the deed and trait system being set up the way that it is, power leveling is discouraged. By power leveling, I mean getting to the top level by doing the least amount of content possible, therefore getting there as quick as possible.
Skirmish Experiment – The Grind Begins….

Full Battle, Steady, and Healing Attunement
The Skirmish Experiment continues! I’ve managed to get Almarune up to level 41, and I am still very much enjoying the experiment. I have begun to feel the grind a little, however. Now that levels are not coming quite as easily, the rewards of doing the skirmishes is delayed quite significantly.
I have, once again, been playing with my soldier class and traits, trying to figure out what is best to get through the content fastest. So far I’ve tried: More >
Skirmish Experiment: The Beginning
May 17th
I’ve finally brought my Rune Keeper to level 30 and have started the skirmish experiement in earnest. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, please refer to this post. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while now, and I think that, no matter what, it’s going to be a lot of fun. I’m a big fan of skirmishes, and enjoy working through them.
Here are some observations that I’ve found so far, in my first two days of this experiment: More >
Deed Experiment, ummm, I mean Skirmish Experiment!
Apr 28th
As many of you know, I’ve been working on a Deed Experiment for a while now. What was the Deed Experiment? I was trying to level my Rune Keeper from level 10 strictly through completing deeds. My goal was to see what that would be like, and what the character would be like when they reached maxed level. As many people commented, yes, it’s possible, and no, it’s not fun.
