What's covered

Your character, played by hand from its current level up to 45, the global cap, finishing the Episode quests on the way. Optional extras add the full Main Story, every Stronghold, every Sealed Dungeon or every Regional Quest chain. Kinah, gear, materials, Daevanion points and quest rewards all stay on your character.

The slow part

The main story gives most of the XP, but it isn't the whole job. Green quests, Sealed Dungeons and Strongholds pay the Daevanion points that make a 45 strong enough for endgame, and doing them all roughly doubles the climb.

Why order it

At 45, progression moves from XP to gear, points and PvP, and the endgame dungeons open. Skipping green quests on the way means spending your first endgame week going back for Daevanion points. Order the levels, plus the extras you'd rather not grind, and start at the cap.
