Interesting way to level from 1-7ish

[renegadeofunk]

Great tips, thanks all!

Honestly, it's far easier to make a dorf and just start in Butcherblock. there's a zillion decaying dorf skeletons in the newbie zone, and you're that much closer to your turn in NPC in Kaladim.

One gnoll fang will get you from the start of level two to level three.

................8000
................27000
................64000
................125000
................216000
................343000

That's interesting, never seen those figures before. I wonder if they entered each one by hand (hence hell levels) or used some sort of formula to work out how much exp the next level would cost?

(level-1)^3* (mult*1000).

Here's a short summary on hell levels that I posted in another another discussion.

Arbitrary example to illustrate point.

With Hell levels
Level..............Xp to level
40.................10000
41.................5500
42.................6000
43.................6500
44.................7000

Sum=35000

Without hell levels
Level..............Xp to level
40.................6000
41.................6500
42.................7000
43.................7500
44.................8000

Sum=35000


Here are the actual XP charts for a wood elf druid from the time that hell levels were in game.

Level..............XP to Current Level.......XP to Next Level............Difference
28..................33,067,440..................36 ,879,360..................3,811,920
29..................36,879,360..................40 ,973,520..................4,094,160
30..................40,973,520..................49 ,896,000..................8,922,480
31..................49,896,000..................55 ,053,768..................5,157,768
32..................55,053,768..................60 ,555,264..................5,501,496
33..................60,555,264..................66 ,411,576..................5,856,312
34..................66,411,576..................72 ,633,792..................6,222,216
35..................72,633,792..................86 ,436,000..................13,802,208
36..................86,436,000..................94 ,058,496..................7,622,496

When they smoothed out hell levels, it sort of followed my 'arbitrary example'. Hell levels were the (previous level + 1.25 times that level), roughly.

Is there any info on how much exp a standard blue mob will give at a given level? Would be interesting to find out how many of x mobs are needed to Ding.

Last night we were power leveling my rogue Azeth in MM, Kashi was on Meepo sitting on the Caitiff spawn in Mistmoore while I was turning in the flowers to Ssynthi to correct my Temple of Sol Ro faction.

Now, I do not have any numbers, but on every 3-4 turn ins I was seeing a tick of blue move on my 22 rogue's exp bar. I have had Azeth in MM since level 13 farming Caitiff while Kash simultaneously PL'd me. I wish I had done this quest in the early teens to get a fair estimate on the amount of exp it gives.

What I'm getting at is as far as I know the quest is available to any level any class and requires only your faction with Temple of Sol Ro to be above Threatening. If the roamer (Caitiff PH) is dead the quest is 100% doable by any class/race/level.

Seems like an extremely easy way to PL someone from 1-10 at least.

A few weeks ago I helped a friend who wanted to try playing P99. He rolled a Wood Elf bard so I figured I'd run him to Kaladim and give him the almost full bag of bone chips I had on me. Got him from 1-4 with just the bone chip turn ins.

skipping content by powerleveling? That sounds about as fun as stepping on ants.. and about as challenging. The only time I would ever see powerleveling as viable is if a regular group is suffering from lack of a cleric or chanter or whatever; and powerleveling that class up to the group's level so they can better enjoy the game.

or consider that not everyone missed out on cluster fuck grouping and others may wish to skip the 20-40 drama fest in MM/SplitPaw/Guk/CT [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
