Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General leveling?

hey guys, ok, well, i need to get to at least level 25 - 30 before i attempt to get back into stormfist castle, well i got out of ionas dungeon by dodging everything, completed most of the quests in rivertown and about half of the quests in verdistis, and havent really been to the dark forest except for getting the tree branch for the summoner, well, whats the easiest and possibly fastest way you guys found to get to level 30ish?, of course side quests help but id like to know of the alternatives... thanks

Have you visited the wishing well ?
You can get there one level easyly.

I left the wishing well until late in the game, to get the most effect from the wish (the higher level you are, the more experience it gives you to get to the next level). However, by then I didn't really need the boost.
You could also just start exploring the Dark Forest.

If you get a few strong monsters together, you can kill them, then Resurrect them, run or teleport away so they turn hostile, return and kill them again. Easy but monotonous.

leave no enemy standing, if you come acrosse one that is to tough, move on and then come back to it.

If you haven't cleared out the graveyard, cursed abbey, and church in Rivertown, I'd head there next. Otherwise start on the Dark Forest. You could also finish off Verdistis unless you'd rather action.

right, OK were is this wishing well?

The Wishing Well (51KB) is east and a bit south of the Dwarven Bread inn.

the Wishing Well (Spoiler)

ive never done it, but i hear monster farming is pretty effective. you need a couple spells to do it. i dont know what they are, but if you do a search youll find it.

You just need Resurrect if you want to repeatedly kill things. I did this a bit in the Dark Forest looking for charms (buying them is easier and faster). It is also handy if you are close to another level before using the wishing well, the level-up jug in the imp world or before becoming the divine one. If you are going to get a boost to your level it is much more effective to first top off your experience points to level up, then get another full level from the bonus.
