So after streaming last night even after posting a few guides to help people there are still folks out there that seem to be struggling and cannot progress yet they just want to play the game have fun and get to that end game but can't because they are stuck. Now I have been there already within my first couple of streams I was making the very same mistakes people are doing right now and they are easy to do so this guide is for those people out there who want to play the game as I am looting, shooting and going up world tiers as soon as they are unlocked. If you are like the few I have seen just bumping through the campaign on a world tier one this guide is definitely not for you. Okay so are you struggling with enemies that just feel too powerful whether this is because you have gone up a world tier or not there's probably a simple explanation for this. With each world tier enemies are scaled up from a world tier 5 to 15 enemies gain extra levels over you a world tier 5 enemies have two extra levels on your current level on a world tier 6 enemies have three levels on your current level on a world tier 7 enemies are four levels above you and enemies on a world tier 8 where I am right now enemies are five levels above you what this means is your character class level which you can see within your inventory screen at the top left no matter what level that is the enemy will always have those plus levels on you depending on that world tier you're on so if like me you're playing on a world tier 8 you're a level 21 enemies will be a level 26 it's as simple as that. Right now as I make this video I'm a world tier 8 which gives the enemies five extra levels on me this means enemies I will encounter will be a level 26 because my level right now is a level 21 it's also important to note if you are within a middle of a world tier for instance me right now I'm about halfway through a world tier 8 if my character level goes up from a level 21 to a level 22 so does the level of the enemies they gain that extra plus level also now with enemies being at that extra level what can be done for you to compete with them well it's quite simple here you need to earn loot and this is also super important to remember loot scales exactly the same as the enemies and I mean exactly the same so playing on a world tier 8 loot will drop at a max of five plus levels over your character level so if your character level like mine is a level 21 loot on a world tier 8 will drop no higher and max out at a level 26 and this will happen until you either level up your character again or go up another world tier progress on and this is what people need to understand if you are playing and fighting against adds that are three four five levels above you you need to have armor and weapons at that matching level to be efficient and compete I reached a world tier 8 yesterday and understood this concept instantly and even though my armor was maxed out for that world tier 7 progressing until a world tier 8 although enemies only went up by one single level it was easily twice as hard so what I did is what I recommend you guys do if your gear levels are not that at the same at the enemies you are facing because that's the important note all your weapons and armor should be the same level of the enemy you are fighting if the enemy is a level 15 so should all your weapons and armor if the enemy is a level 25 so should all your weapons and armor so the next question is no doubt how do I earn armor at that level when enemies are just too hard to kill and I ain't getting anywhere well this is quite simple too use one of my chest farms to get that easy loot which will drop at that level you need it to be the chest farm I will stay needs to be done at the highest world tier you have unlocked by the way and what it does is see you gain around eight chests in little over three minutes each chest drop in loot and having a chance to help you progress so the chest farm you're seeing in the background now it is within eagle peaks so from the lobby select the story points go to eagle peaks and then select the very bottom mission of speak to Jacob once you load in run to this flag and travel to this fast travel point of bonka peak once yeah follow the route I take on screen now if you haven't gotten to bonka peak yet you can use the original og chest farm from the demo which by the way I will link both these guides on these chest farms within the video description these chest farms you will grab all of the chests quick to the lobby then start the process of selecting the story point again and repeating it and what you really need to do here is run these until your gear is at that level of the enemy no matter the world tier you are playing on I mean yes for sure you can get away with one or two pieces probably being a little lower but for the most part you want to make sure that loot is at the same level of the enemy you are going to face I will add also although I don't like partying with my materials just yet there are vendors within certain areas notified with certain symbols which do sell gear on the level you will need also but they do take eight of the materials so I prefer the chest runs now when farming chests then getting that gear when it does drop on that max level for that world tier you are in prior power on weapons and armor values on the armor obviously do kind of fluctuate but as long as armors are all relatively around that same level you should be fine and same goes with the weapons now what happened with me yesterday was and this is also important to note I had a max armor and weapon levels for the current world tier I was playing on and then I leveled up my character leveled up from a level 20 to a 21 this in turn meant that enemies also leveled up too all that armor and weapon I'd farm from the chest all of a sudden felt a little weaker so that's very important to note guys if you're in the middle of a certain world tier your armor and weapons are on level with the enemy if you yourself will level up for your earning exp so will the enemies for your weapons and armor will stay at the level you got them at so if you start to struggle or get to a point where you're struggling it may be worth running the chest farm again now once you have farm chest people and got that loot depending on your current level and even if the armor and weapons you got are not epic just res it's also very important to apply the correct mods to them you do this via doctor as a heady at the camp make sure you're using mods which affect and benefit the abilities you are using first and foremost if you are happy you have enough assistance here you can apply mods to help weapons and apply an extra damage too this is important as I know it's early stages of the game but people think it doesn't matter it truly does mods on gear help a ton but yeah guys if you follow the guidance I've given you right now you'll find that those extra leveled enemies now you are on par with them ain't all that bad I mean no matter what you do guys when you progress through world tiers it gets harder much harder but never impossible as long as these steps are taken into account you can also try mixing up those abilities and weapons too don't be scared to swap things out once in a while I mean yes I know you get attached to those weapons I want to use them forever but right now in these early stages I guarantee you guys they are not worth it but yes guys on that note the end of the video has
