Personal Leveling Guide
This guide was originally written by Dan Malone, and details his common leveling paths.
Tank
From area MC5, head straight to the Aggie cellars in Plaza 2, running 'hard' Aggressor Captain Missions. Whilst initially very tough, you soon level up to spec enough resist pierce to handle the aggressors there.
Once around strength 50, it's over to the bunker at Military Base to get a few more levels (usually with a laser or plasma wave cannon, from a distance to avoid downtime whilst healing)
From here, there are the options of either Regants Legacy (Very nice xp and decent cash) or Firemobbing around CRP (Whilst XP there isn't as good, cash should be better as Fire Mobs often drop techs)
Spy
Personally speaking, I'd go with droning - which can be dull, but is much faster than most other ways of leveling.
Although droning can be faster it is not to start off with... Due to the low drones being bugged they aren't too useful - the support drone is the first AoE drone to be available, and is very effective at dealing with low to mid level mutants.
A suggestion would then be to get someone to make you some research missions to run (fast and easy xp, along with some nice starter cash) and then start droning when you can use a slightly higher level drone - or roll as a rifle / pistol user and get to a reasonable lvl before lomming to drones.
The 95-100dex period is very tedious when droning, it seems to take so long. I prefer to lom to pistols or rifles and cap killing firemobs/warbots for techs and money. It all comes down to patience, of course.
Private Eyes
I haven't leveled one of these after the patch came in... i used to start off all my pe's with melee and then have em drive about in a rhino while a tank gunned then i rep'd it and whatnot... afaik the xp and the rhinos in general arent as good as they used to be.
I would have said go drones but this would leave your psi/str/con unleveled so im guessing just go with the conventional pistols/rifles and lvl from there... Personally i would go HC pe tho to lvl from experience, its fast, fun and something different
In general a PE should be leveled as you would the class you are basing their primary weapon off of. A pistol or rifle PE can level much like a spy, and a heavy weapons PE can level as if it were a (more fragile) tank. If you plan to use vehicles, as soon as you have one and repair skills to keep it alive, hunting the wastes can become very lucrative.
Psi Monks
Now requires alot of time and patience I would say go apu and lvl like the tank above except i go to crp caves/el farid instead of the regants part... Ive had a ppu with me the whole time doing this so if you cant do the same i suggest starting ppu and u will need to find groups to be able to lvl.
A researching monk could be a way to lvl in the beginning (run noob res missions to lvl) but im unsure of how the xp rate would work out to begin with. Other than that im not sure
If people reading this ARE new players, i stronly suggest a tank as your first char, easy to lvl... and are very viable in most situations
