Powerlevelling question.

[Lazortag]

So for all of you monks and druids out there (am I missing a class?) who power-level people for money, how many levels do they gain after an hour? What about after two hours? When does it start to become extremely unprofitable? Basically, if I were to PL someone on one of my characters, how long should it take me to get them to certain levels (assuming I'm being fairly efficient, going to the right zones, pulling fast enough, etc.)

[eqravenprince]

Monks can powerlevel people? I'm interested in how this is done being a Monk.

[Malachei]

Beat the mob down then feign death.

First of all what class are you. Second what level is the character you're going to be power leveling.

Druid PL's run out of steam around level 30. I got my mage 1-17 in less than a hour.

[nalkin]

Mages are actually better PLers than monks, especially at 30+. To geegoo, I would say it takes about 45min per level in the 30s/early 40s. Starts to slow down at 45, but you can really go all the way up to 50, it will just take longer per level at that point.

[nalkin]

I will say if you want the best way to PL, you get a druid to PL you from 1-15 and a mage to PL you 15-46. Mage is better than monk because you can kill harder mobs and kill them faster without ever getting hit.

Oh and obviously the best place to PL is kedge and monks can't do the second floor solo I don't think.

Also a request to all you powerlevelers out there.

If you could please not do it in the common exp zones it would be awsome...

Nothing sucks more then running across the world to an exp zone only to find a pile of corpse and a /who showing a 50 druid and his friend, plus about 10-12 people with no mobs to kill...

You would prob level faster looting all of the CB belts on the corpse's anyways. Think positive!

[sgallaty]

South ro is always a good candidate - lots of orcs, hardly anyone there ever and druids can port you to it.

30-40 pl is freep guards with a shaman overwatching you, imo.

[azeth]

azeth was mage PL'd to 50 in 52 hours. 1-20 mistmoore, 20-35 oggok guards, 35-50 seafuries.

[Loke]

Fastest/most levels I have ever done was 1-32 in just over 5 hours. I think I could easily PL someone into their 40s fairly effectively, but I hate PLing so I only do it for friends now.

So... Mage plevel consists of damage shield and what else?

[azeth]

consists only of buying a shitload of malachites, having pet do 99.99% dmg, killing the pet, then letting the PLee finish it off for 100% exp.

edit: went through approximately 7 bag slots of 8 slot bags full with x20 stacks of malachite = 1120 malachite x 3 total bag refills so ~3360

[Sparrk]

So could a necro do somthing similar using A FD method or the Pet one?

[Yoite]

yes, necro can do it same as monk with FD

[Lazortag]

To clarify the PLing method I was thinking of is similar to the monk method, but involves a Bard (basically charm the mob at low life, Hide/Invis, let the lowbie hit it and get massive exp). I've tried it but even without timing it to confirm, I just feel intuitively that it's fairly slow.

I'm not planning on being PLed, I'm planning on PLing someone and wondering (a) if it could be efficient and for how many levels, and (b) if it's efficient enough to charge money for. edit: to add: also if I were to charge money, I wonder if I could justify charging the standard rate, or if I'd have to charge some lower amount because it might be slower. I was also curious about how long it normally takes just because if I were charging someone for it, I would hate to not give them their money's worth!

[Omnimorph]

Necro PLing with pet doing damage would be impractical given the components for the pet aren't store bought.

[Yinaltin]

necro root dot fd powerlvling doesnt require a pet :)

[Messianic]

1-20 mistmoore, 20-35 oggok guards, 35-50 seafuries.

That's not entirely true. I remember where Azeth was in his 20s because I made some very decent coin on my first-run char from you :D

[Henini]

can pl with enchanter too, I remember on live a friend of mine pled like crazy with his ench. charm memblur whatever thing... but that was in luclin, maybe he was using spells that arent available right now.

[azeth]

i was only in highkeep for a level or two!

my wife almost deleveled meepo PLing there :P wild z axis + pet + nobles

Haha, gotcha. Yeah, I saw Meepo corpses...always figured those wild Z's could cause problems.

[Seaweedpimp]

Ill never tell.

Hint, its two classes.

[lindz]

Angel did 1-50 in 27 hours using monk PL.

While we have got better at our methods, no one will be as fast as the rogue with her 9% xp bonus and high dps. Hybrids with their 40% penalty are painful. :(

Halfling rogue!

[Lazortag]

Alright, I think I can PL someone from level 1-20 pretty decently and in reasonable time - I've been PLing my girlfriend's Bard (40% exp penalty) and even as she's approaching 20 the experience is quite quick. How much would someone usually charge for that, assuming they were going at a speed comparable to a monk when a monk PL's (I realize they charge by the hour, but if I were to specifically offer 1-20 how much would that come out to)? I'm guessing the price would depend on the characters class/race..

[M.Bison]

Ive PL'd a monk with my druid 1-45 in about 15-20hrs played.
