I'm okaying a necro, level 45 now. Not since my early 30's could I get exp like that, even with a good camp.

I made some more posts after that one you quoted. level 45 you're looking at esentially 2 levels in 1. it'll be about 10-12hrs + for level 45 in my experience.

I have a 50 necro on green, I managed 5-6 hours per level 46 to 50. It was truly more about the right mob, two spawns and never delaying between kills. within 10-30s of a mob popping I was killing it. I run multiple monitors so I'd keep EQ open on one while I went about my normal irl routine. Using a strict snare/fear/dot rotation I was able to avoid been OOM by the next pop.

I don't share many exp/plat camps because I want to use them for alts or close friends. I've also been on and off P99 since 2010, despite this accounts join date of 2014. So there is many years experience on mobs and mechanics.

ps. Buy two egg timers from the grocery store. When you kill a mob set one to a bit less than the respawn time. The physical object in real life will keep you alert and ready.

Love this idea!

I think I could get better experience per hour if I didn’t die all the time.

As a mage solo I was getting about 35-40% per hour level 20 - 30. 30% or so up to 35. Past 35 it's been hard to beat 20%. I did find a spot today that was about 30%

20% per hour is a good rule of thumb. Remember the cap is 50, it's not a race!

Thanks for the informative responses everyone! Helps me realize that higher level people really have just put in insane amounts of time into the game and I’m not missing out on some secret awesome strategy to gain multiple levels quickly. Generally I’m getting around 1 yellow per hour soloing while root dotting with my shaman and doing other crap while I med back to full mana. It’s not so bad but yeah it’s gonna take a while to hit 50 :P. I may go hit up guk around 24 and see if it’s more fun at least haha.

If you want to help the feeling of ticking clock find someone to hang out with and get exp with it goes by faster ( not sure if that's good or bad but it does seem to)

i feel the opposite. suddenly i need to small talk versus watching youtube between spawns.

On a semi-related note, is the "pet does 50% dmg and takes 50% exp" in effect right now?

Yup. It was in at the release of original EQ and was not changed until PoP years later.
