DCUO Leveling Guide

Note: This article is part 2 of a 2-part series. For part one of the DCUO Leveling guide, please see the DC Universe Online Leveling Guide post.

In our last part, we talked about how easy it is to climb the ranks of DC Universe Online.

The progressive layout of the game caters to those who want to quest instead of grind. But what if you are the kind of player that wants every possible point in the game? Well, we have got you covered .

There are several different kinds of questing experiences that an aspiring hero or villain should be aware of:

The first is the narrative quest (that is what I am calling them, they probably have a cooler name). These quests are given to you by either your mentor or a key player in the DC Universe. These quests will show up in your log by being at the required level or by finishing the previous quest in the tree.

The other kind of quest — the kind I said in the first part of the DCUO leveling guide I would talk about later — is the side-quest. Players can find police officers or thugs around the world (usually standing on a nearby building) that will have players kill X many mobs or destroy some nearby enemy equipment.

Players will have to actually have to look for these guys in order to do the quest. Most of the time, you will have to do a similar task in the narrative quest, so be on the lookout early and kill two birds with one stone. More quests means more experience.

As far as integrating side-quests into this DCUO Leveling guide, be sure to look for these as you are following the story-line but do not waste time going way out of your way to find and complete these quests.

There are also little questions marks floating around the world waiting for players to inspect them. These are multi-part detective/research markers, and there are experience bonuses for finding all of them in an area. It can be a slow and tedious process, but most are found while doing the narrative quests.

Other sources of experience come from Arenas and Alerts. The former are toe-to-toe battles against other players in an arena. It is pretty standard for an MMO, but the fast pace of this game leads to some intense struggles against others. These are fun but do not provide as much experience as other options mentioned in this DCUO Leveling guide.

More interesting than that is the Legends Arena. This is where players can play as their favorite DCUO characters against other DCUO characters. Each character has their own pre-built tech tree so skill trumps equipment in these fights. This mode can also be called World of Batmans.

Finally, there are Alerts. Alerts are essentially instances, but they take on a more-open scale to fit the feeling of the game. These quests can be a bit slow, but the rewards are often worth it, and it gives players a chance to fight the really cool DC bad guys (like Poison Ivy and Clay Face).

There are new arenas and alerts each day; letting players experience something new regularly, but the best experience comes from following the narrative quests.

If you remember one thing from this DCUO leveling guide, remember that the best experience points come from avoiding the Villains (or heroes, depending on your political opinion) and doing exactly what your mentor tells you to.

The take-away point from this DCUO Leveling guide is that you want to stick to the storyline to level up quickly. If you focus exclusively on the narrative quests while doing the side quests you run into, you will be raiding in legendary armor in no time.
