Forum:Lowest Level to beat Playthrough 1

As I'm sure many will agree, levelling is WAY too fast in Borderlands. In my latest Hunter playthrough (with no DLC) I've been trying to beat the game at the lowest level possible by avoiding almost all of the side missions. I haven't been too strict (as I've done the ones which gave me fire and corrosive elemental artifacts for Bloodwing when they became marked as "trivial") and so far I'm mid level 25 and about to tackle the Rakk Hive. I took down Taylor Kobb (a level 29 mission) at level 24 and that was REALLY bloody hellacious. I'm prolly gonna do all the side missions just before taking down the Destroyer, but by then most of them should be trivial and get me hardly any XP at all. Has anyone else tried to end Playthrough 1 at a low a level as possible? If so what level did you beat Playthrough 1 at? CaptainFrantic 09:51, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
