Powerleveling price check

[Teppler]

Back in Chardok days I always felt the only people that could possibly offer faster PL than my necro was the AOEs. Chanters can do the same thing. I've heard some tales of Monks doing some impressive upper level PL as well.

As a 60 necro, flop PL is actually decent - I don't do one mob at a time, up until the PL target is > 50, it works quite well to root rot 4 or so level 45 mobs and as long as they can hit them with a ranged weapon attack (arrow or throwing dagger) for 1 damage, they get full Xp as splurt kills them with enough leeway to get the tag on all.

When a level 35 is doing the tagging, this gets capped xp (6%) x 4 mobs, so about 24% of level per round (which is about once every 5 minutes in a good zone).

XP cap isn't 6%, at least it wasn't as of a few days ago when I did a mail quest on a level 1.

There was a bard with a fairly high profile a few years back that had a detailed PLvling service in his Sig. Can't recall his name right now. His numbers would be a good resource to tap into if someone could remember his name...

Hi.

I honestly haven't tried power leveling since they put in the cap on how many mobs can be hit by PBAOE.

For those that are still power leveling, how much has this affected the time to level someone? I would think there's a pretty big difference in speed to level someone when you used to be able to do like 80-100 mobs at once in a zone like FV vs 20 something mobs now when they were casting their PBAOE nuke.

Druid PL is slower for sure, but one upside is into the 20s-30s when the PL receiver starts tanking the mobs with thorns, they'll be able to cap out their offensive and defensive skills compared to sitting afk with a bard.

Yeah, don't PL in Sol A (or you know, any other zone thats usually packed with XP'ers in lvl range)

Packed is a pretty serious overstatement regarding Sol A. Eight or nine times out of ten you will be alone in that zone. Of course, never ever put yourself in a position as a powerleveler to be stealing mobs from or in any way impeding the experience of level appropriate xp groups.

I just suggested Sol A because the xp is great, the mobs are dense and easy to gather, and it's not very packed most of the time.

[Legidias]

You and I have had very different experiences in Sol A if you find it empy half the time. There is almost always a group doing goblins due to the xp being great, mobs being dense / easy to pull, and money. The same reasons why you like to PL there.

Befallen be best, followed by Unrest.

I believe he's saying that once the recipient (of the PL) hits *lvl 35*, they can only attain a max of 6% exp per kill. Up to that point, you can definitely get more exp per kill/quest/etc
