The good the bad the mordecai according to the wiki is only on TVHM? Or is that just some crappy wiki classification
Hmmm doesnāt sound right. After you wake Mordecai and get back to sanctuary, check the bounty board next to Johnny Waffles. If itās not there I guess the Wiki is correct, tho I donāt think it is but I was wrong once back in the summer of 92.
I wound up doing it on TVHM - got a 7.something % XP bonus relic. Doesnāt seem like that much of a bonus. I donāt want to give up my assault rifle and launcher ammo bonus relic for that 
In UVHM, itās more important to keep your gear at par with your level. The really nice gear you got from killing the Warrior in TVHM, will feel really weak when you get up to 53 - 54. So it will be RNG that decides just how hard itās going to be. One full playthrough of the main story and all dlcās should get you to level 72. Once there, you can start the OP runs. Here it will be even more important to level up your gear. Thatās the real issue. One Digi Peak run takes somewhere between 45 - 60 minutes. Having to grind for better gearā¦ 
Some help from friends is always nice when you want to speed things up a bit.
You donāt have to level up to OP 8. You donāt even have to do the UVHM. The rewards for getting to level 72 is more skill points to make your char more awesome, and getting gear that is unavailable in TVHM. The reward for getting to OP 8ā¦ You get to feel like a real Badass.

Iām 100% positive I did the mission in all three playthroughs. It was there in normal mode, TVHM and UVHM. Itās probably just an error in the wiki.
Sounds more like āforgot to updateā.

A good way to level up in UVHM is farming early booses for their legendaries (Hornet, Kerblaster, Bonus Package, Thinderball fists etc
Iām also big fan of Caustic Caverns. You can earn tons of XP in a single run, plus there are plenty of loot chests and the Minecraft Easter egg.
Just keep on grindināā¦ As for getting to OP8, I totally cheesed before the patch. Itās still possible, but a little trickier.
All missions are available on all playthroughs, even the Digistruct Peak ones (though there youāll just get XP and the reward(s), but not the OP levels until youāre level 72). Only the loot and the enemiesā health and shields change across the different modes.

Iāve noticed a few entries that appear to have been written before the second upgrade pack was released and then not updated. I think this is one of those.
The fastest way I have found to level up is to start UVHM, clear the town of Flintās menās, turn the quest in to Hammerlock, then do the bullymong quest (which is pretty fast) then save and exit, reset your UVHM playthrough and do those 2 quests again. The XP they give is a lot more than you would get for just killing things. If you feel like your gear is starting to be underleveled, just hop back into TVHM and open the chest a few times. There are no bosses to kill, so you shouldnāt have to do this too often. I got one of my character from 50 to 62 in one afternoon. Over level 60 or so, the difficulty curve starts to level out and it gets easy enough to just go along with the story.
Thanks for the tips. Some are obvious 
but some might be good tips.
I actually leveled my one character up playing the bar brawl on normal mode, with the first player being around level 50 with one of those crazy rocket launchers that takes only one hit for most things. Got player 2 up to 40+ within an hour or so, and hit the Torgue tokens limit multiple times.
Iāve plateaued though and it seems like not a lot of people are playing online, or Gearboxās servers really are messed up. I almost can never find a single game. A couple people added me last night, and I couldnāt even join one of them for some reason. Weak!
I just played the game, when UVHM came out I hit 61 just by playing the story and side quests. Then when UVHM2 came out I did petes bar from 61 to 72.
If you have not played UVHM before donāt power level, you have to learn how to play the game or you will most likely just hate UVHM.

Iāve gone into OP levels solo with 3 classes, plus 2 player with one of my daughters to OP2. Getting to 72 didnāt feel like a long process except for that very last stretch (70-72), where I caught myself watching the bars.
Honestly, a lot of what I did was focus on story quest progression through Tiny Tinaās and Torgueās DLCs and the main game, farmed current Harold, Bee, and Lascaux every couple of levels, and set things up so that Iād be ready to farm at 72. For example, doing the āCordially Invitedā string gives multiple turn ins for experience, gets you a good holdover weapon (Teapot), and sets up the big ugly varkid for farming so that you can go get a Baby Maker. Similarly, the Clan Wars quest has a lot of turn ins, a lot of killing, and sets up Slagga or Maggie farming for 72.
Mix in a little Legendary Loot Midget farming (for Bone of the Ancients) and Tubby runs in the Dust or Frostburn, and 72 winds up happening kind of on accident.
I feel stupid because most of that sounds like gibberish. I thought I had some neat weapons at one point and I havenāt seen any of those or even heard of most of those.
I was able to get up to level 54, slowly, by playing UVHM solo and slowly (VERY slowly) and painfully chugging through just the story. It is horribly difficult and time consuming right now.
Iāve gone through Tina and Torgue on normal mode, Iāve done spots on TVHM I believe as well. But there is nothing I can get through those now because at 54 it looks like the only thing you can do is UVHM and DLCs.
Unkempt Harold.
The Bee
The Lascaux
Teapot
Maggie
Slagga
Baby Maker
Bone of the Ancients
Pretty much. TVHM stops at level 50 and the highest gear you can get is ~50, which generally wonāt last long in UVHM.
Yeah I heard about the Unkempt Harold and have tried to get one (I wound up with some other neat Torgue deals and I think some random Harolds that werenāt the āamazingā one) and I have a low level Bee, but everything else Iāve never seen or even heard of. I played some multiplayer with some other folks and heard a couple of these mentioned but I think the game just isnāt that popular anymore for big time gamers.
At least thatās what it seems like. Nobody is ever able to play!
What platform are you on?
xbone. started on 360 and moved my game when I was able to get the handsome jack edition on xbone.
Apparently there are some matchmaking issues with The Handsome Collection and Xbox One. I am not sure if the issue also exists on PS4. There are several threads in the forums mentioning matchmaking issues. That probably explains why you donāt seem to find anyone.

Hereās a trick, sir.
- For the Unkempt Harold in UVHM:
-
from the start screen, go into TVHM and farm Pyro Peteās bar until you get over 613 tokens.
-
save & exit
-
start the Torgue DLC
-
after the opening cut scene, grab a car and drive to the vending machine nearest the starting point. if there isnāt a Harold, save & quit, pop back in and start again.
-
if you are able to play through the āChop Sueyā quest (killing the non-raid version of Pyro Pete), Moxxi will direct you to go to the Badass Crater Bar. Go there.
-
Once you have the Bar unlocked, you can farm the machines faster by saving & exiting at either the Bar or the Beatdown, checking the vendor, then fast traveling to the other, checking the machine, save & exit again, etc. This basically gives you 2 very quick machine checks and cuts the farm time in half.
Not sure if itās taboo to discuss here or not, but you can also use a second controller to save your tokens after you find an item to try. This allows you to simply zone in to either of these areas any time you level and grab a current level version.
- The Bee shield.
- go to the āunassuming docksā
- fight your way to the safe area, Flamerock Refuge
- do the safe, around town type of missions that unlock The Forest
- follow the trail to Devlin, talk to him, and get the Bloodfruit when he directs you to.
- after that, have fun farming slow moving trees in a zone where there are at least 5 treants who can drop the Bee. It is very, very rare for me to not get one within 30 minutes of starting my farming.
If you would like, I can write out a more detailed take on how to handle the orc area (especially the Duke of Orc) to make that area easier to farm. If done right, you will have 4 treants in that area alone who can drop the Bee.
