Depending on quest XP, there could be people at 60 in half a day. Someone is going to corpse/banker/etc splitpaw scrolls and turn in 4 per minute from 51->60 unless that gets nerfed hard.
This will be more of a headache than PoSky keys. You gotta recorpse every week to avoid corpse rot, every week until Kunark drops. To whoever does this, they deserve to be the first.

It takes 52 scrolls for a non-penaltied (no ogre, troll, no sk, pal, rng, brd) toon to go from 45-46. I bet levels 52-60 gonna be 100-200 scrolls per level.

I'm guessing a MINIMUM 1,000 scrolls to go 51-60. That'd be 250 corpses.

TL;DR
You're just better off rolling a TON of free accounts and putting them on level 1 toons.

You get 3 EQemu accounts per forum account, and you get 8 slots per EQemu account. It's just 11 forum accounts.

Someone do this. I know a man named Inni. He may be our only hope for such an endeavor.

The really critical thing to do is die 9-10 times before Kunark launch and AOE PoFear for EXP for about 2 hours to get back that EXP.

Then when Kunark launches log on your boxed cleric and 90% rez those corpses to jump to level 52.

Disgusting. I will make sure you get jailed in the back of Halas for this.

This is the winning post in my opinion.

You should get about 39-40% (2 yellows) into 51 with 10 bodies though if it uses the XP Value that you lose. I am not sure if rezzes are like that or actually use the % that you lose. If you lose 10% XP on a death do you get 9% XP back on a 90% rez regardless if your bar has moved? That sounds pretty hilarious if you can cheat the system like that, very creative!!

Dunno if live had 20 minute timers on those Dwarves. But gotta think it'd take a heck of a long time for a ranger in any case.

Only the dock dwarves and two others are 22 minutes that I’m aware of, many others are like 12 minutes (assuming you’re referring to the Kaladim Citizen faction dwarves)

Group takes mob down to 5%, root then charm then break charm, ranger finishes it. (And I'm not even sure that's the most efficient method.) Have a stream of ready to kill near-deads leavened with an occasional mob ranger beats mob down with haste/chloro/ds. Pretty sure the limit would be respawns, not the damage output of the ranger. And this was at the opening bell for Kunark, the global knowledge of the class XP penalties wasn't a thing yet. [edit]Or the ranger's pals would've probably argued that a no penalty class char be first[/edit]

Splitpaw Scrolls are not gonna be a thing 51-60. I mean if you really wanna do it you could but XP Bars after lvl 50 are absurdly large. I have been leveling my Monk with scrolls since 46 because me and my duo partner stopped playing at the same time. It's approx 220,000 XP per scroll. It took me about 55 scrolls to go from 47 to 48. A human Monk with the 20% penalty has a 10,800,000 XP lvl 47 bar approximately. The bar for lvl 51 alone is 28,700,000 for a Human Monk. so I'd need like 143 Scrolls to go from 51 to 52. The XP bars only go up from there except 54 and 59...... total XP from 51 to Ding 60 for a Human monk is around: 464,000,000 or about 2320 Scrolls. Good luck!
