Usually, I like to overprepare in my RPGs so I actually enjoy being an OP'd son of a gun as much as I can. Moreso here, since TOW is quite short.

How high level have you gone without much exploration and combat? I did it before to an extent but now want to do it in earnest (the plan now includes doing DLCs to a point).

I did Emerald Vale doing all but A Fistful of Digits since the other quests are usually nearby to their giver or is an important step to an outcome I want. I left at level 7.

Now comes the fun part. Groundbreaker is just a smorgasbord of free XP (or at least, XP that doesn't need killing). After that, there are a lot of free XP to be had in Byzantium and Stellar Bay (don't want to do Fallbrook and Amber Heights yet). Roseway is a bit of tight work unless you have the patience to sneak around.

I've never done DLC early yet. I prefer my build to be fully online just before doing the entirety of Monarch, so no Peril on Gorgon either. How much of MoE can be done with minimal combat? Exploration too, but we can be loose on that.

Also, are there notable items in static locations in the DLC? Mostly for stealth/dialogue skills? I usually go:

• Determination 150
• Sneak (melee preferred) 150
• Spread points as needed
