When to level-up a character?
To level-up, or not to level-up, a character that is the question I would like to get feed-back on. The details; I have about 1.5 years or more of DDO experience running many character classes on several worlds. I am a solo player, my two highest characters are;
I use my 4th level self-repairing iron defender to guard my cleric hireling.
I am currently playing level 8 adventures with these characters. I have enough experience points to take both characters to level 16 now thanks to past adventures on elite and daily dice roles.
I want level 16 for my Pal/Art to gain access to Paladin class enhancement REDEMPTION to obtain additional spells like “raise dead”.
I want level 16 for my Wlk/Art to gain access to Warlock class enhancement AURA OF MENACE to obtain proficiency with Martial Weapons.
I also have acquired from the auction house some great lvl 16 gear which I cannot use until the characters get to level 16.
Currently, I am only leveling up when game tells me I cannot earn more experience points without first taking a level-up. Personally, for these two characters (my highest), I want REDEMPTION and AURA OF MENACE really bad. So asking form for input, should I;
All advice welcome, Thank you for your time.
- ) Level 12 = Paladin lvl 8 / Artificer lvl 4, two handed weapons master (because I have received from game many HOLY two handed weapons), traps, UMD, repeating crossbow for range attacks
- ) Level 12 = Warlock lvl 8 / Artificer lvl 4, two weapons master, traps, UMD, repeating crossbow for range attacks.

- ) Take fast road, level-up to 16 now since I already have the experience points to do so and take adventure penalty (loss of experience points) for doing quests lvl 8 to 16 because my characters are over-level for them?
- ) Continue slow road, leveling up only when game tells me I cannot earn more experience points?
