The Path To Level 20

[Krky77]

Hi all!

My crew and myself are trying to get to level 20 at all costs. :)
We've just finished Eyes of the Ten four-parter, which puts us at 13.1, if I'm not mistaken. After that, we're not really sure which path to take. I've been hearing legends about one particular path to level 20, the singularly specific way one can get to level 20 in Pathfinder 1.0, but I'm not sure which path that is exactly, or if anything has changed in 2020. All the info I have seems to be a bit outdated.

This is the most recent bit of info, I've unearthed it from reddit and I think it's roughly two years old. It states as follows:

_"I've managed to find that, after doing Eyes of the Ten, you can do Academy of Secrets (13), Tomb of the Iron Medusa (14), Wardens of the Reborn Forge (15), The Moonscar (16), and The Witchwar Legacy (17) to reach as high as Level 18. It doesn't look like there's any sanctioned content higher than that though."_

On the other hand, I know of a group that is trying to get to level 20 solely by playing something called The Emerald Spire Superdungeon. Is that way also Society-legal?

Thanks for your help!

There are actually a huge number of paths, but the only legal way to get to 20 involves ending your other options at 19.2 experience and then playing Race for the Rune Carved Key. It was open ended sanctioned for the highest tier. There are quite a few scenarios besides Eyes for Seeker tier you can play if you would like, but in most cases aside from some modules you will likely need to play the sanctioned parts of some APs

You can select level ranges which helps. There are a smaller number of AP volumes that are sanctioned up to 18 (which would get you to 19.2).

Thanks for the reply and the link!
I might actually be doomed to wander the planes forever denied level 20 because I already played Race for the Rune Carved Key. :) And I played it with the very character I am now trying to reach level 20 with, while he was still at level 6 or 7 or something like that. So I'll either have to wait for Paizo to miraculously and retroactively add that "+" to some of those 1-12 scenarios or I'll really be eternally stuck on 19.2. :D

Get enough experience points?

...Oh, this is PFS-specific. Flagging for move.

Ack! Sorry, I thought I posted this in the right section. My apologies.
