So I have been leveling up a character for my boyfriend, since we recently started playing together and he doesn't have as much time. This has been fun for me, going back through all of the original quests and really experiencing the game from the start.
Anyway, I got to the mill, and I figured I'd do a run before I did the quest line in Basken,
just to get myself up to a decent enough CL to solo in the area.
I got a crew, some CL10+ who were just gold farming really.... and everyone kind of stood around for awhile not going in - they started getting frustrated and talking about a "glitch" that wasn't allowing them into the mill, that it had been going on for years, and asking when zomg was ever going to fix it ... And I was really confused, because I personally in maybe 5 years of PS never had anything like that happen..... But after a few minutes of talking about it, it came up that potentially none of them had actually done the quest to allow them to lead into the mill. Some people swore they had, but said they maybe had to do it again, which I'm pretty sure you can't because that one isn't repeatable...
This to me seemed a little bizarre and amusing - I know from going back and starting a new character,
that I personally did skip a lot of the non-essential quests....
But I really was surprised that such a high number of people seemed to have never actually gotten the ability to actually lead a crew in.
What I was wondering is, how much of the quests can you actually skip and still get up to CL 10, by just going in with other people who did them and farming orbs to level up; and furthermore to then enter into DMS and continue to 10+.
Thoughts?
