So am I stuck grinding the repeatable quests to 24? I have done everything that I could find in all 3 zones.

I am 27 and have yet to run out of quests.

Are you certain you found all the contacts?

Is that even possible? In Canada I found a level 22 and 23 quest that told you that you could repeat them over and over. They are in the base near the helicopter. If you were absolutely stuck, you could do those.

Also, I found a lot of quests in out of the way places in both Canada and the Desert that range from 24-26.

I didnt run out of quests until 2 bubbles away from 40 so your clearly missing some quests.

*do some public missions
*check your crime computer
*do some PVP

at around 22 i got an email from socrates giving me 5 new missions in MC

I found out that you actually have to go back to Canada or the desert after you level a little in the city.

The missions from Socrates are the help a civilian missions that you get. Which give less than 4k exp. So you would have to do 50+ of these to get even close to leveling, if not more. And now they nerfed Scared Straight. I've already done all the public missions (except for the bugged ones of course) and I've searched high and low looking for the hidden missions, done all that I could find.

I managed to hit 24 by doing Scared Straight 10ish times. But now that is gone. There is an serious content black hole here. There really needs to be an abundance of mission choices, not a lack of or just enough to get by if you do every single one.

Make sure you check the eastern part of the desert. There are a ton of quests out near the prison. and to the south of it.

Go back to MC, there's about 15 or so quests there from Dr Silverback and from the magic book shop. Plus a few quests dropped by mobs.
