Colonel_Shin Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) I been wondering, since i started the planet with my level 50 sorcerer the enemy levels have been higher and i had to stop and grind to level up because the enemy/quest levels were going up way to fast lol is there a recommend level to start makeb? i know im doing all the quests and bonuses in the area of the main quests but do i have to go to other areas to quest? i iz confuzed.

Delta_V Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Frankly, the higher the better, so you can burn through the ridiculous number of trash mobs more quickly. Going through an area at the same level as the mobs can be tedious if you're not a stealth class. I think I started Makeb at 51 on my Sentinel and hit 55 by the end; only issue I ran into was getting bored clearing out all the trash.
Kerensk Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 I did it at 50 when the expansion came out without much issue but I had leveled a few characters and had good presence for my companions. I died occasionally if I pulled too many mobs but with a healer I could make it through most everything. I'd just play through at level 50,and play some side warzones or flashpoints for some extra XP.
OwenP Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I enjoyed the renewed challenge of levelling my level 50 characters which had sat dormant for some time. When I reached a level high enough to start the Seeker and Microbinocular side quests, at 52-53, I took off and levelled doing those quests, coming back at 55 and continuing Makeb. Like others have said, the higher your level the easier it is paving though the mobs without stealth. Though I found the end of Makeb geared towards a level 55 character anyway so once you get there it makes no difference.
DaShuk Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I finished Corellia right at 50, and then just doing the daily runs through Ilum, Section-X, and Black Hole once, I was nearly 53. I'm not even halfway through Makeb content yet and about to ding 55 pretty soon. It's been a cake walk so far. I would suggest getting there around 51 so it's a bit of a challenge.
morfius Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Done at 50 with free set ... awful ... then done on alt at 55 with blue 28 items = revenge for first time suffer Now is easy to over level Makeb, if you dong most of content at end of Correlia you will be 52-54, 1-2 week of dailies will give you enough credits to obtain blue 28 mods and Xp to 55. Then the fun begin
BadOrb Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) If you aren't going to do the microbinocualrs or seeker droid missions then about 52-53 is a good starting level , i have 2 ready to go at that level. You see some of the areas are pretty easy but when you get to certain parts it can get a bit rough. Are you solo or grouped btw ? As that can and will make a difference. Cheers, BadOrb.

Heal-To-Full Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 If you're a sub and play the story completely, you'll kinda overlevel Makeb. Kinda, because you can't overlevel it. Also, I didn't enjoy Makeb's mobs. On some planets - Corellia, Ilum, Tatooine - mobs are placed tastefully and belong. On some - Nar Shaddaa, Makeb - they are just obviously sprinkled around to delay your progress. I started Makeb as an augged 63/69 and I wish I waited till I was an augged 72 with augged 69/72 companion... a bit less time to clear these trash mobs.
NLxAROSA Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Quite frankly, you can start at any level. Just not complete it. I started it on my Commando as soon as it was available (Level 47). You can do some of the earlier missions and clear some trash and get good XP that way, and possibly some nice greens that are a lot better than what you get on other planets. So I sort of switch back and forth between planets while leveling up (no big story breaker IMO, since the stories are unrelated).
