Facility Hub Quests

30+: Mountain Sewer Quest
Hub Bonus Experience Reward: 950,000 (fixed)
Quest Experience Reward: 2,300,000 (100% up to level 40)
Item Reward: Ancient Arbalest
This quest requires no combat, though if you are interested you can complete the Kilif Zefir Kill Task while here. You need to collect the arbalest for the hub bonus, but there is also a portal gem in the same room you can grab for an exta reward. Since this reward caps at level 40, I suggest grabbing it and holding on to it until then. This gems is also the second component to the Asheron's Departure Lower quest.

30+: Branith's Stolen Possessions
Hub Bonus Experience Reward: 950,000 (fixed)
Quest Experience Reward: None
Item Reward: Branith's Staff, Branith's Shirt
As the name Mite Maze suggests, the dungeon can be very difficult to navigate, and the creatures (in particular the wasps) can hurt, but there is no combat required for this quest. Simply obtain Branith's staff or shirt, which are found on the floor in separate areas of the dungeon.

30+: Frest Greelving's Haunted Mansion
Hub Bonus Experience Reward: 950,000 (fixed)
Quest Experience Reward: 429,000 (fixed)
Item Reward: Silver Atlatl, Tetsubo Slugger, Ornate Nekode
This quest is incredibly easy. You can complete the hub portion by simply grabbing a gem out of a chest in the mansion and bringing it to Frest. However, if you are interested in more exp and the Evil Couch housing decoration, you can complete the entire quest.

35+: Acid Axe Quest
Hub Bonus Experience Reward: 1,650,000 (fixed)
Quest Reward: 37,500 (fixed)
Item Reward: Acid Axe
Another short and simple quest with no combat required. Just grab the acid axe (found in the floor in the smith's shop) and head out. If after collecting your hub bonus, you have no need for the axe, you can bring it to an Ivory Crafter for some additional experience.

35+: Fiery Weapons
Hub Bonus Experience Reward: 1,650,000 (fixed)
Quest Reward: None
Item Reward: Quarter Staff of Fire
With the hub's shortcut portal, this quest is very simple. Just kill the banderling bandits near the portal drop and bring the fiery staff back for your bonus.

35+: Jacob's Axe Quest
Hub Bonus Experience Reward: 1,650,000 (fixed)
Quest Experience Reward: 100,000 (fixed)
Item Reward: Axe Head Helm
This is the most difficult of the 35+ tier hub quests, so I suggest completing it last. You must raid a fort full of skeletons, kill their leader, and recover Jacob's axe. As part of completing this quest for the hub item you get some additional experience.

Quests

If you need a change of pace from the facility hub, a bit of exp to reach the next tier of quests, or need to avoid it on Darktide, here are some alternative quests for this level range:

Tusker Tusks: Liberator
Experience Reward: 850,000 (100% up to level 30)

Olthoi Pincers: Worker
Experience Reward: 850,000 (100% up to level 30)
Item Reward: Glittering Bracelet of Acid Protection

Tusker Tusks: Slave
Experience Reward: 1,000,000 (100% up to level 32)

Olthoi Pincers: Solider
Experience Reward: 1,000,000 (fixed)
Item Reward: A Bracelet of Piercing Protection

Littoral Siraluun Kill Task
Experience Reward: 1,250,000 (133% up to level 31)
There is an easy to camp location for littoral siraluun, but you are still looking at around 30 minutes to complete the task. This is a component of the Rat Catcher quest.

Dire Mattekar Kill Task
Experience Reward: 2,000,000 (133% up to level 36)
Another component of the Rat Catcher quest. This kill task is very rewarding and doesn't take all that long, either.

Ebon Gromnie Kill Task
Experience Reward: 2,000,000 (133% up to level 36)
While the reward is the same as the above task, this one is a bit harder. I still recommend it, though, as its very easy to complete this by level 30+ in the Small Icecave.

Fenmalain Vestibule Quest
Experience Reward: 1,000,000 (fixed)
Item Reward: Fenmalain Crystal Atlatl, Fenmalain Crystal Bow, Fenmalain Crystal Crossbow, Fenmalain Crystal Orb, Fenmalain Crystal Shield
The reward is a bit on the low side for the time and difficulty of the quest, especially if you are going solo, but I'd still recommend it for any 30+ character. The Shield can be quite nice on melees, too. Tip: you can obtain the keys from low stakes gambling.

Thorsten Cragstone's Armor & Axe
Experience Reward: 2,500,000 (fixed)
Item Reward: Cragstone's Axe
This quest has a great reward, there is interesting lore, it takes you to interesting places, and there is very little combat involved. This is a very easy quest to solo.

Hea Bone and Hide Shirt Quest
Experience Reward: 2,000,000 (fixed)
Hea Bone and Hide Shirt}}
This quest is restricted to 35+, and I would recommend running it as soon as you can. There is no combat required, just running to the end of a dungeon, speaking to an NPC, and returning to the initial NPC for your reward. Very simple quest with a great reward.

Deathcap Thrungus Kill Task
Experience Reward: 1,250,000 (133% up to level 31)
There are no good locations to camp deathcap thrungum, so this task can unfortunately take 40 minutes to an hour of running through the forest of Lotila Island. I would only recommend this quest if you really need the exp.

Rat Catcher
Experience Reward: 700,000 (fixed)
Item Reward: Rat Tail Bracelet
If you have completed all the prerequisite kill tasks, than you should definitely do this quest. The experience reward isn't great, but the bracelet you get is very handy.

Elysa's Favor Quest
Experience Reward: 350,000 (fixed)
Item Reward: Elysa's Favor
This is a quest I'd only recommend running for the item reward. The exp is very low and it can take nearly an hour to complete, but Elysa's favor has +15 health and 1 of 4 minor cantrips, making it worth the effort in my opinion. While not overly difficult, I'd suggest getting a group of 2-3 characters in their 30s for this quest, ideally with a mix of melees/archers/mages.

Tips

The Master Enchanter inside the Facility Hub provides level IV attribute and life protections buffs. Look under "Services". These are cheaper than the buffs and gems mentioned in the 10+ tips.
The jewelry from the Olthoi Pincers can help cover some buffs.
By level 30, you can complete the third through fifth sections of the Bleeargh's Gratitude quest, which will grant you every level 3, 4, and 5 item enchantment spell, including all the basic recalls and a special lifestone sending recall.
