This is a continuation of my thoughts regarding the level 70 update which was released in early April (for NA). I finally hit level 68 on my main character (ninja) on August 10th (just a little over 2 months from the time I hit level 67).
This time around, I did around 60% of the “green” dailies around 80% of the time (I couldn’t stomach doing them every single day) as well as a whole lot more AFK fishing. Why? Because if I hadn’t, it would’ve taken at least another month to hit 68 (and I just wanted to unlock the Celestial Hills dailies for a change of scenery).
If I continue this pacing, I’ll hit level 70 close to the end of the year. Since K-TERA rolled out actual access to the Exodor zone at the end of July, the other regions should be getting this in the November or December timeframe if Krafton/Bluehole follows the existing release schedule. Hitting level 68 unlocks a new scenery; the underside view of the Exodor “floating island” in the skies just outside Val Oriyn.
The level 68 part of the story quest was pretty short like in the near zero effort department. I guess I should not be surprised by now.
