Just as with any RPG, you’re allowed to make several alts in No Rest For The Wicked. Leveling a character is a time-thieving affair, but there is a way to dramatically speed up the process.
How to level an Alt fast in No Rest For The Wicked
There are numerous reasons why you’d want to have an alternative (alt) character in No Rest For the Wicked. Not only is your build final on any given character, but an alt means more useful storage space. The first thing you’re going to want to do is be around level 28, and have progressed the main storyline until you’ve gained access to the Cerim Crucible. For reference, this is toward the end of the current Early Access content in No Rest For The Wicked. You’ll know you’re close to this point when you need to acquire a Fallen Ember for the main quest.
To power level an alt character, you’re going to need Experience Potions, and lots of them. As the name of the item suggests, these potions grant the consumer a hefty amount of experience based on the size of the potion.
- Small Experience Potion – Rewards 200 Experience Points
- Medium Experience Potion – Rewards 400 Experience Points
- Large Experience Potion – Rewards 800 Experience Points
You can obtain Small, Medium, and Large Experience Potions by looting chests and killing strong enemies. They have a fairly low drop rate in the normal world, but in the Cerim Crucible, you’ll find them to be decently common. This is largely due to the enemies present there being much more powerful than the standard. The best way to amass Experience Potions is to run the Cerim Crucible several times over. Make sure to thoroughly search every chest and loot item within the Crucible, as each one offers a chance of containing one of the three types of Experience Potions mentioned earlier.
When you’ve got a ton of Experience Potions in your inventory, it’s time to give them to your alt. Character progression and Realm progression are separate, therefore it is possible to use your alt on your current, story-complete Realm. This is important because you need access to either the Community Chest in the Rookery or a standard chest in your home. For whichever you prefer to use, place the Experience Potions you earned into the chest. You can put as many as you like in there, so long as you have space.
Now, switch to your alt character and guide them to the specified chest. Retrieve the potions from the chest and transfer them to your alt’s inventory. Have your alt consume the potions to expedite their leveling process far beyond what you could achieve through traditional enemy grinding. Repeat this method on as many characters as desired.
