Honestly, with how easy it is to reach the early journey steps and how much XP you get for them you can get to level four or five before you even get out of the starting desert on default settings with no mods and getting to ten from there isn’t much harder. Even when I try to take it slow with a new exile, I still end up hitting level ten within my first fifteen minutes or so without even realizing it.
…Though then again I’ve also been playing the game for a couple years at this point, too.
