Smart Questing Strategy
Priority Order: MSQ > Faction Quests > Side Quests (only if same location)

Batch Complete: Grab all nearby faction/side quests before doing an MSQ objective

Town Boards: Check for quick crafting/gathering tasks that align with your route

Avoid: Grinding unrelated side content early (inefficient post-Aeternum changes)

What to Skip (Early Game)
Excessive crafting/gathering (focus after level 30)

Low-reward side quests (unless for zone completion)

Solo Elite zones (better tackled later with groups)

By sticking to this focused approach, you'll reach endgame faster while unlocking all the tools needed for raids, PvP, and territory control!

Pro Tip: After hitting level 25, mix in some Expeditions (dungeons) for buy New World gold big XP boosts while still progressing MSQ.
