Power Leveling, Quantity and Quality
- Power Leveling is the term used to describe the process of leveling up a profession as fast as possible (XP gain).
- But leveling fast is not the only thing to consider in AoC. The quantity and quality of the resources you obtain are also important.
- There are items that can help you with the XP gain and speed but also with the quantity and quality (rarity) of the resources.
- The higher the quality of the resources, the better the items you can craft.
- The quantity of the resources is also important, as you will need a lot of them.
