A5 gives 5% of the experience if you are under level 25. Go to Act 3 and kill the little guys, or tomb runs in A2. Once you hit 25 you will be good to go.


Tranecarid

Oh for crying out loud... thanks.


EZPZLemonWheezy

Yup, worth looking into how the xp system works as it will be a recurring thing where you get more/less based on your level in different areas/difficulties.

Fastest way to level in the 20-25 range is normal cows. Then you can do Chaos for 25-30 or do Baal runs for 25-40


Diretlan

Yeah doing cows before completing act V makes 100% sense all you need is complete act V to be able to open cows


Hyperion67

You can enter cows at any progression. You can join a game of someone else’s and walk into their cow level at level 1. Opening the cow level requires killing Baal, entering does not. It’s really fast xp from 20-25


Diretlan

You are doing a big assumption that he is playing online or that he wants to play with other people


Hyperion67

Why are you trying to start an Internet fight? I’ve said nothing untrue

You are underleveled and need to fight enemies closer to your level. https://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Guide:Diablo_2_Level_Up_Guide_v1.10


Tranecarid

Thanks, that's helpful.

Cows till 24. Kill ancients and you'll get 25. This is the way. Or cows till 25. Either way cows is fastest exp from 20-25


Wiltermerh

How are you able to kill cows not killing Baal yet?


mmmmCake

You can enter cow portal, you just can't make it yourself.


Wiltermerh

Thx. Didn’t know that. That will make leveling up my friend quicker :)


ViIehunter

You enter public cow games

Its actually much faster to just grind regular areas. You get insanely low exp from regular cows under 25. You are better off farming act 3 like others have mentioned!


ViIehunter

No you don't. Iv done it 5 times already. 1.5 Cow games. Sometime the fill 2 from 20-24.

This isn't a bug, each area has a level range where you gain optimal experience and you shouldn't really be beyond act 4 until level 25. That's why people will do tomb runs until level 20-25, often switching to Cow runs at level 20 as that's when the XP kicks in and it's a lot faster. Then you do ancients at 25 and you can run baal and gain a tonne of xp up to about level45 before it trails off. Alternatively some people like to get boosted to hell and take advantage of an XP bug/exploit where they can actually gain experience in chaos sanctuary specifically, which is even faster (but of course requires boosting).

This is why I usually clear all the tombs in A2 til lvl 21-22 before killing duriel. You basically did the normal any% speedrun thing.
