What level to leave Fort Joy

I’m sorry if this sounds like a painfully noob question but I’m a bit lost.

I understand that there is no one specific way to go about doing something in this game. Quests aren’t linear. There are many ways to not only go about completing a quest but activating them as well.

But I managed to get out of the fort at level 4. I still have my collars on - not sure if they could be removed by now.

I met a skeleton merchant. Right now I’m supposed to be taking a ship I think? I encountered these shrieker things blocking my way. I freed a dragon but he wants me to kill a witch for him, and that fight is a few levels above me and I can’t seem to beat it.

I also climbed up some vines to find a dungeon(?) where there are also fights that seem to tough for me (level 6 I believe).

So I feel really stuck. I know there are many ways to progress but I nevertheless feel very very stuck. Have I just missed something entirely? I switched to the easiest difficulty and still am having trouble.

I would imagine so, since there are fights within Fort Joy itself that will mess you up if you're underleveled for them.

I'd say the ballpark is level 4-6, depending on how much of a killing spree you go on,before leaving Fort Joy (but not Act 1, you can end Act 1 at a way higher level).

If you mean the entire Act, ideally Level 8. The fort itself I believe the game expects you to be level 4-5, since the magisters are level 4 before you escape.

I tried to complete as much of the area as i could before leaving and ended up at lvl 8 for the fight with Bishop Alexander. But i really took my time to explore/fight/find/steal/buy everything i could (40ish hours lol). Even so, i know i missed stuff for sure. Guess the rest will have to wait for my solo run with Fane.

I was 7 or 8 can't remember.

some does not simply leave joy fort.

Is the level I leave Fort Joy a big deal?

I saw some people here in the forums saying they left Fort Joy at level 9, I also saw a map with areas per level of the second island and the lowest level was 9, yet I'm on the ship right now and I'm level 8.

I fought Alexandar at level 7, the battle was easy even underleveled as I sneaked into some good positions, but I got level 8 from it, so I'm at the start of the level, far from 9.

I gave up trying to find something else to get level, I did every quest I could find and killed every undead, douchbag and magister on the island.

Is it a big deal that will come bite me later or is the xp going to be meaningless later on when I assume every enemy will give 20k+ xp?
