Q u o t e:
I never said race to 60, I said 50 in my entire post :P

I did however edit the 60 in the post right before the Orc's :P

still, 3 days 5 hours to FIFTY... amazing.

It takes me like 4 days /played to get to 40-45ish.

How anyone does it in 3 days to FIFTY is like, beyond my comprehension.

I must seriously just be playing incorrectly. Unless the key is 100% grinding.

I have never ever tried grinding for long periods of time other than level 58 and 59 on my priest.



Why is this amazing. Chinese farmers do it every single time a server opens.

It's just the ability to farm stuff 2 lvls lower than you over and over. A 2 lvls lower a hunter can *constantly* pull in exp. It's not fun. But it will get you to lvl 50 fast.

On edit: for those people "congragulating" him. Good god. You might as well congragulate the guy who works a 78 hour 7-1l shift a la "Apu". It's about the same thing.

Thwarp, you're a tool. Grinding vs questing, the quester will hit 60 first. (or 50 in this case)

The reason the farmer tag team characters usually hit 60 so fast from pure grinding is because they are literally played 24/7. Their /played time sucks compared to the first legit players to make it.

I was ahead of the farmers on emerald dream for a long time, then started messing around instancing and stuff with some friends in the high 40s and low 50s. Still stayed right with them, but didn't push myself to stay awake over one weekend. Was still the first "legit" 60 there by about 10 minutes over my friend Eldrin (who had stayed up all night to try and beat me) All of the 4 or 5 characters that hit 60 before me there were played 24/7, several were from a gold farming company, and one was a guy and his brother tag-teaming. I guarantee my /played was lower then all of them.

Oh, and on a side note, all but the guy and his brother were banned not long after, probably for duping in maraudon, since that's where they were for like the week or two after hitting 60.

90% questing 10% grinding is of course total BS. There aren't nearly enough quests, especially post-50, to do this without lots of rest xp.

Hunters are of course the fastest to level. No downtime soloing, can handle adds easily, can solo elites, and they get a runspeed boost 20-40.

I agree that trolls are sexy, but after leveling a mage, lock and hunter to 60, I'd say the mage was the easiest and fastest.

AE grinding is amazing xp.

The 90% questing was a bit of an exaggeration.

You just have to know what quests to do and which not to do. I'd say that it was about 60% questing and 40% grinding.

Hey idiots.

/played is not 'how long the character existed'.
/played is HOW LONG THE CHARACTER WAS LOGGED IN AND PLAYING THE GAME.

I can level to 50 1 hour a day over 80 days, or in 80 hours flat over 4 days. It still results in a /played of 3 days, 8 hours.

You need to take a deep breath and remember that this is a video game, dude. If you're getting this worked up, perhaps MMO's aren't for you.

very true. But still I have a life. There are some things that shouldn't be done. I am curious if there will even be 1000 people. As far as I'm concerned, if you get to 50, then you automatically get in.

heya guys, I just found this post. Thanks for all the grats. Yes this is what I?ve been doing for the past 6 months, I race myself to 60 on new servers, then in between new servers I would just spend all my time figuring out ways I can do the next one faster. I am a legit player, and only one person,

If you've seen my other posts, you'll know I speed run through games for the fun of it, and im very dedicated to it.

My last full run on Jubei'thos server, took me 4 days 20 hours /played time to get to 60, and trust me it wasn?t easy coming up with the routes it took me to get that time, this took the least few years of pure experience of figuring out the fastest way to level to 60.
