Another Stupid Ever-EverQuest Questio: Non-Leveling Leveling Time

[loramin]

Jibartik's Stupid Ever-Everquest question got me thinking about another question (but I didn't want to hijack that thread): which classes have to spend the most/least non-leveling time to "level up"?

What made me think of this was the mention of research spells in that thread. It made me realize that to "level up", Int casters need more than just XP: they have to take time to collect research parts from vendors or wherever, and then combine them. If you're just looking at the class from the outside, you don't realize that you'll need to spend (non-trivial) time doing research.

Once I started thinking about it, I realized this was a more general phenomena. Warriors need to spend more time in EC, or doing random less-XP camps, in order to get the weapons (and to a lesser extent armor) that they need to fill their role. In Kunark, Shaman need to put a lot of time/energy into acquiring Torpor (and possibly a JBB and epic before that).

But then a Rogue can almost stick to XPing 100% of the time. They need to go to EC or an item camp once every 20 levels for a new weapon or haste item maybe, but otherwise they can just move from XP camp to XP camp. Druids are pretty much the same.

So, with Green coming soon, my question is: in your opinion which classes have the most/worst "non-XPing leveling time" (especially time people who haven't played the class wouldn't think of), and which have least/best?
