how long it takes to hit 60

[maskedmelon]

As a paladin: 30-50: 5blue/hour is screaming in a group. Solo: 2.5 blue/hour is flying. L45, 51-53 and 56-58 Solo: 1blue/hour is awesome. 54 and 59: just don't think about it and it will go away eventually...

From my experience, Soloing / duoing as a chanter, regular levels 25ish up took an average of about 3.5 hours per level, hell levels closer to 7.5-8. Scale that up 54+ for whatever the multiplier is. That's actual killing monsters for exp time, not the time it takes to put a group together / move to a camp.

Most levels I think it was well under an hour per bubble, so 6-7 hours a level if you die a couple times isn't bad. Hell levels and those over 50 were much slower (like 2x). The first year of playing EQ the world was way overcrowded vastly slowing experience. It took many of the people I know nearly a year to make it to level 50, but there progress got way faster when Kunark came out and they could find mobs that weren't overcamped more easily.

The splitpaw scroll quest gives 1.1%, or 2000000 exp at 52, for reference. A dark blue NPC gives about the same experience at 52. Exp multipliers are not applied to quests, so this assumes you are a human wizard. An NPC that is level 45 takes approx. 5 nukes to kill as a wizard, with 5 minutes downtime inbetween kills provided you are killing a single NPC.

Someone else do the math because i'm lazy.

One year sounds about right, maybe 10 months. Assuming it is your first character, your not twinked, and you are not one of those solo-god's on the server. Also, this is assuming you do get bored sometimes and make at least one alt. 50+ is all hell lvls with a double hell LVL at 54 and a quadrupole hell lvl at 59... Something to look forward too.

7.5 hours to level

First character (no twink) Hardcore lvling prolly 3-4 months.

Casual who is also camping/questing gear, selling stuff in Ec, and doing other basic first character things, 10 months to a year prolly.

This is Assuming your play time is consistent, doesn't have to be a lot, but you can't take a month off either. Also, it is rare anyone gets to lvl60 without making an alt that they spend some time on.

For a solo class, skill wil be another factor. But casuals tend not to be the greatest solo'ers on the server.

1-2 months if you level hard and do Chardok (1 month if Chardok is good, 2 months if your Chardok group wipes every other pull)

3-4 months if you level hard

8-12 months if you are a casual player who levels

1-50 is way faster than 51-60, I would redo 1-54 three times in place of doing 54-60

Lol I was going to say... Lot of people with mid 50's chars... 59 alone is almost as hard as 1-50

Wish I didn't use my SK as a tunnel mule and actually had a screenshot to prove my played time on him, my Troll SK had made it from level 1-52 in about 5-6 weeks which I was really surprised, this was playing mostly everyday with a couple of friends.

I was twinked at the time with a Noc blade and some darkforge. I remember our exact run. 1-10 Field of Bone, 10-19 in Kurns, 19-25 in Unrest, 25-35 in Mistmoore, 35-42 CoM, 42-45 was a scramble for various zones which took us the most time. 45-50 in SolB got from 50-52/53 in KC before my buddies wanted to switch games.

By the time I hit lvl 35 I was just barley making a level a day and I had been falling behind the group in levels for a bit, eventually I had to spend some extra time grouping/duoing at night to even the gap. We went pretty fast as a group after that and met some great players like ssaul, tolpa, and tenderizer along the way from 40-50's.

I think that was almost a year ago. Good times.

My SK still never made it to 60, he's just sitting naked [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm sure it would be another 5-6 weeks till 60 anyway.
