Crown of the Kobold King: Level Milestones?

I am just checking to see if anyone has already done the math (or I just missed where it stated it) to see where the milestones would be?

If not, I will go ahead and update what I come up with when I get to that part of preparing the adventure. Just hoping to save me some legwork if someone beat me to it. Thank You :D

If the milestones are not listed, you can look at each encounter.

They all list stuff like Moderate 1, Severe 2 and such where the number is the level it is balanced for.

If it says 2, the adventure expects the party to be level 2 there. Also milestones are usually divided by chapters so that is another good sign.

Huh. Looks like the milestone information got lost somewhere along the way—normally we put that information in the form of an "Advancement Track" as part of the table of contents for the adventure itself. The format of this one is a bit different, in that there's only one table of contents for the whole book, so I guess the Advancement Track got left in limbo.

But as folks mentioned, the value of the Trivial/Low/Moderate/Severe/Extreme line for each encounter title shows what the expectations are. Here's the quick breakdown though:

Level 1: Chapter 1, parts 1–3
Level 2: Chapter 2, part 1
Level 3: Chapter 2, part 2
Level 4: Chapter 3, parts 1–2
Level 5: Chapter 3, part 3
Level 6: Chapter 4

Thank You very much for the reply. I am really enjoying the PF2e version of this iconic adventure. Tomorrow (10-16-22) I will be using this to introduce a total of 4 first time players to TTRPG. We have hopped into Roll20 over the last week and practiced combat skirmishes so they have the basics down. I am really excited because I know they will love it.
