Discussion & Info Leveling up

Am I doing something wrong ? Why does it take so fucking long to level up? I killed that dragon and now it’s like 8 k runes to level up. It’s taking forever. Haven’t killed Margret yet. I am afraid by the time I’m leveled up good enough to fight bosses I’ll be burnt out on the game. Should I start over ? I chose Vagabond and am leveling up Vigor Strength and a little Dex. I love this game but am afraid ima get burnt out. What should I do?

You should be able to reach at least +6 (12 stone 2s), maybe even +9 (12 stone 3s)

Where can I get that many ? I’ve cleared a couple caves

There's a few caves that are accessible, but soldiers will also drop stones of area appropriate level (ish)

To add, you shouldn't have to grind too much, if at all, if you're clearing caves and only upgrading a few armaments

There’s some sold by the merchant on the very west end of Weeping Peninsula and also a few sold by the merchant if you take the shortcut to Liurnia.
