Default Exp bonus is a joke

I appreciate the thought, but this experience was too outrageous. I have heard of people grinding out 1-50 in a day.

I don't know if the GMs miscalculated the bonus or what but I got on my level 30 char to test it out and i flew through that level in a blink of an eye.

Too late to go back now but you guys at the helm may want to reconsider this next time you think it's a good idea imo.

Approximated re-enactment:


Jaydee tells the group, "Fuck, this double XP bonus is bullshit!!"
.
.
.
Jaydee tells the group, "I just got half a blue in 30 from that kill!"
.
.
.
Jaydee tells the group, "Goddamn, only been three hours and I'm halfway through this hell level, this fuckin blows!"
.
.
.
Jaydee tells the group, "Fuck this. One more yellow bub til 31. Pull more mobs, this is retarded."
.
.
.
Jaydee tells the group, "DING 31! FUCK. Un-fucking-believable. I need a buffer, keep pulling."
.
.
.
Jaydee tells the group, "All right, this is stupid. Going to the forums to post.... AFK. Feel free to keep killing though, will BRB."

I have heard of pigs flying out of my asshole, but it hasn't happened yet. Just because someone's bragging, doesn't make it so.

There is always those that play too much. I think this is win win. Kunark isn't out, school is starting as summer ends.
This was in regards to a rollback but the timing was perfect to energize the server.

impossible.

We are PLing Azeth (rogue 10% bonus but barb -5%) using the mage pet method so he's getting solo exp on mobs that range from 15 levels higher to dark blue. It is impossible, no matter who is PLing who to grind 1-50 in a day even with double exp on this server.

Not...entirely. I mean, if you had someone being extraordinarily nice to you, then it's not so far fetched. Earlier on, I had someone in the guild tell off about how they were getting about 10% per kill on red mobs because a monk was beating the piss out of stuff, then dropping for his killshot.

While I think that 1-50 in a day is a bit of an outlandish claim, 1-50 in the span of this exp bonus isn't that far out in my mind.

No that's what I'm telling you. Your friend who was getting the "10% exp per kill" is Azeth and that's a wild underestimation between levels 1-30. He was actually getting about 25% exp. 30-50 cannot be done in this time frame.

I would say the shortest possible amount of time to PL someone to 50 using any available method would be about 40-50 hours.

agree. Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun almost all day every day you could do it.
