Epic MMO Guides’ Ultimate Star Trek Online Leveling Guide was just released today. I immediately bought a copy to see if it’s any good and I was horribly disappointed.
There are several things I don’t like about this “Ultimate” Star Trek leveling guide. First and foremost the completely, pardon my language, bullshit statement claiming it will level you up to admiral (level 41) in 24 hours. It’s totally ridiculous and no guide will ever help you level up that fast. Apparently the author achieved that only by doing Exploration quests which I highly doubt. Again, it’s impossible, and even if somehow you decided to level up that way you’d probably die out of boredom while doing it and immediately uninstall the game.
The top-secret “Exploration” leveling guide is nearly half a page long, and other pages are simply filled with useless quest information. While it does seem to list a lot of missions you’ll encounter, the in-game mission log paired with your scanner device provides A LOT more information than this guide. In conclusion, I think using this guide will only slow you down. You’re much better off reading leveling tips in STO Mastery and learn about some combat tactics and tricks you can use along the way rather than following this Ultimate STO leveling guide.
STO Mastery has the same price and I’d even pay double considering how much better it is. You can check out the Ultimate STO leveling guide website here, but don’t fall for the hype and simply skip this guide.
