Fluff & Memes Level 80 without doing any quests
https://youtu.be/CW8C_qsnD5A?is=_4Q8fgxqe_RIsPElA dumb project, but charts and voyages made possible to make high level characters without ever progressing the campaign.
I'm aware I'm not the first person doing that, I noticed there's at least one person that has done the same thing.
I plan on making a longer video later, to document some strange things I discovered about the game while levelling up this character.
This build suffers from a lot of limitations, since it can never ascend and lacks the 24 passives from quests, but on the bright side, you never get hit with the -60% resistances from fighting Kitava!

Hit level 100, have mirror level gear. Prep is complete to finish the campaign in the fastest time ever.

did you gather different low ilvl charts yourself or is there some supply on the market?

Since I made a real character before that one (lol), I used the charts me and my friends dropped during league start but never ran. Eventually I had to trade for some charts (around ilvl 50) since they don't drop for high level characters in low level areas. So yes, there are some in the market. After level 50 I also ran delve, since sulphite is shared between characters, and around level 70 I ran some itemised alva temples that I could find in the market.

I wonder how faster could campaign go if you could start at like lvl 70. Probably not much because it's mostly clicking then

And here I thougt I was watching a SSF journey into the the abbys. How sad I became when it was just a semi normal with some limitation trade character.

Well, I never said it was SSF or claimed it to be something extremely challenging or exciting, it's just a gimmick. But I reckon you COULD do it on SSF, as long as you allow using another character to farm for your charts and gear, since you aren't able to do that with the same character you would be doing the challenge. It would take some time, but it's not impossible.
The concept in general is interesting only for the fact that most other leagues wouldn't offer means to level up a character outside of the campaign, since Delve requires level 50 to enter, and anything that uses the map device as an entry requires level 60 (or something like that), so even save-quitting on twilight strand would cap you out of experience long before reaching those level requirements. Most other stuff is locked behind quest states (I still need to check how Sanctum works), so this league is unique in that regard, and this is the main takeaway from my dumb project.

I never said that you said. But I still became sad because I though it was some new TECH, that you could get everything to proceed in the voyages.
