1 to 85 PL in a day / Possible 1-90 / Legit ways

[nyghteyes]

I dont have posting access to level 2 atm feel free to move this there.

How I did 1 to 85 in a day.

Recruit a friend info was posted here a while back figured I would try it in PL ing a new toon.

86-90 - 3boxed.

I guess 1-90 could have been done in the same day if I have a couple 5 hr energies or more ambition.

1: Create new email addy
2: Recruit it w/ Recruit a friend
3: Use 51 - 50 button. (This really only saves a couple hours for the 51 lvls but will save you time in the end because of the Exp Bonus once you start grouping w/ PLee SOE says 300% bonus while grouped and under the level/AA of Recuiter)
4: Swarm - AE hate - DS kill - Pop merc let them impale themselves.
51-60: PoNightmare
61-65/66: CoDecay
66-70: PoFire
71-75: Katta or Thassilus
76-85: Mech Guardian - Group em up
86-90: Just chain pulled Feerrott 2-3 mobs at atime -SK/Sham and baby beast W/ 1 T5Clr merc / 2 rog mercs(1 T5) bout 7-8 hours Popping Adventure pots. Make sure to do kill quest for lizards for some xtra xp. Task adds dont hurt either.

51-85 about 6-7 hours Spent more time running than killing.

Some mq2 tricks and maybe some instanced (Tipt?) action to fine tune this would really go fast.

SK is just Cultural group geared in HoT 3k AA 50k HP 6.4k AC(buffed) - Geared a little better can swarm MG more efficiently and Make 80-90 go faster. So I'm sure some raid toons could do this in 10-15 hours

Thanks for sharing Red Cented

Too bad AA exp isn't based off the level of each toon (rather than the level of the highest toon). Would mean you could stick a lvl 76 or whatever with a bunch of 90's and slaughter the shit out of MG or Tipt or the anniversary mission (when you could ripo disk like 100 mobs down at once).

 

[nyghteyes]

Heck yeah but the exp bonus for the Recuiter/Recruitee is in effect for AA's. I'll be seeing what I can pull in a day next weekend.

0-2500 AA scales from 500% to 0% + the 300% bonus for Recruitee + Potion of adventure. . We shall see, should be able to crank out th first 1k in a very short time.

You can speed this up considerably. 51-60 PoN sure that works, the rest is junk though. 60+ you can group with 90 chars. Take your 60 to Vergalid mines, kill orcs/pickclaws til you get your iridescent shard and flag you for lower vergalid... Go to the spire leading to Vergalid himself, and mass kill everything. 2 hours later you will be lvl 80. Post 80, i'd recommend Kasora Library or Upper portion of tosk til 85 or 90 if you like it.

Here is the tech on how fast this is
Hot Zone EXP modifier (200%)
RAF EXP Modifer (300%)
EXP Potion (200%)

THESE ARE MULTIPLIERS! mean you will be hitting MAX kill exp with these. 10% per kill reg exp! 2 kills = 1 AA. Its just insane. Don't use exp pots prior to 70 as you will be already hitting max exp per kill with none. post 70 it starts going down into the 7-8% per kill range and you can pop your exp pot then or hold on to it.

The only slow exp you get is 86-90 and even then its crazy fast. Enjoy!

 

[Noobhaxor]

Using the Method above its 51-85 in 5 hours. Pure EXP, i'd recommend stopping at 75 in Vergalid and grabbing 500 AA before moving on. But if you are focused on levels 51-90 is very doable in about 10 hours with RAF (just remember 5 hours to 85 and another 5 hours for 86-90)

There you go, 1 day max level char. Yes, its that easy.

 

[nyghteyes]

Maybe I just cant remember anything special to get into Vergalid but I gave up trying to get in during the time leveling this char. Kept telling me the zone was not available.

Working on a second toon now, during the week I only get an hour or 2 at a time to play, Tosk 80-85 Is nice. dont need to go to the top if it is camped, I just pull the 4 or 5 guards that sit with a capt. in several locations around the bottom.

Good to see you again Noob, no matter what they say about the South =P

My 1-90 in a rush:

1-51 - Recruit a Friend Account
51-60 - Pin Cushion PLing in Vergalid
61-80 - Train Killing in Vergalid
80-90 - Grounds EXP w/ tasks

I have a 90 Druid, T4 geared, 3600aa's, 90 War T4 Geared 2k aa's, 90 Wiz T4 Geared 3000aa's ... Druid for the Pin Cushion PLing ... then war/wiz and PLee for the Vergalid Train Pulling ... after 60 can group PLee which makes the exp go quicker ... especially with the exp bonus ... war/wiz got 4-5 aa's in time PLee got 20 levels ... makes it well worth the time ... soon as you hit grounds ... you can also start farming gear for the PLee too.

 

[nyghteyes]

Ive also found that Grounds is a fantastic zone for EXP.

 

[Relentless]

Great post first off, my highest character is 81 right now. But this is really good advice for the future. In regards to what Noob has said.

What would be the best class to use on the Recruiter account to actually level your Recruits the fastest? Any class will work, or something like SK/Monk/Ranger would be the best choice? Reason I'm asking is my characters on my main account are Bard/Shaman both 81, and on my secondary RAF account I have my SK. I kinda feel like I've done things backwards. Any advice on this, how should I switch my setup and would be doing another RAF account for the SK account be the best choice for PL'ing?

Thanks in advance for your answers. I have left you both Redcents for your help and generosity.

 

[Lucent]

SK having that huge boost is great. You can get it AA'd like crazy and start swarming mobs very soon, then rake in mad xp for all your accounts, RAF bonus or not.

 

[nyghteyes]

Because of the new expac, I built my bst to replace my shaman, heals can get away with t5 merc, slow can get away with bst slow. DPS is key in this expac so I run SK BST RNG and can handle anything in t4 with just group gear. Ranger is just a bonus on DPS when I'm feeling motivated.

I wouldnt ever give up slow. Swapping the sham for beast I miss have VP.

Once AA'd up and spent properly, sk trumps all other tank classes for group scenarios. Plus splitting/pulling capabilities.

my 2c

Plus insane self heals when up there in AAs

I disagree with the splitting/pulling... I miss my bard

 

[nyghteyes]

Heh, I guess you havent experienced the AA's "Hate's Attraction or Death's Effigy" as a combo for pulling?

/readies trump card again

HA warps the mob onto your location and DE is instant FD/memwipe

Can't chain those abilities in a fast moving group, though. Bards still trump all when it comes to pulling.

 

[nyghteyes]

Only need it to break the camp in, initial split. I do agree there are definite advantages to having a bard pulling. But I sure wouldn't be tanking with one, it is tough to hold aggro with a bard.

 

[Sum1]

If you know what you're doing you can, but it's a pain in the butt and negates their chief advantage (pulling faster than anyone else).

 

[nyghteyes]

Sometimes I make a race car sound as I see bard go by LOL

My wife will look at me with a WTF face

OMG that's so funny. I have been doing that for years. I make sure to add the Doppler effect too.

Vrrroooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I don't know if I'm disturbed or comforted by the fact that this is apparently so common... I usually say "Zoom zoom" when I see bards buzzing around. A friend plays a bard and has probably heard me say that over skype several thousand times. I need to remember to thank him for not losing his marbles and pathing me off a cliff or something while I auto follow zoom zoom style.

 

[Yasty2]

Anyone have a decent suggestion for levels 76-80 running kiss. Where I can be semi afk as I have a 5 month old that I need to watch.

 

[nyghteyes]

Katta Castrum. TBS expac, lots of places there.

Depends on gear really, if you are horribly behind using elegant and crap, hit RSS lvl 71 mobs and its very very easy.

If your are geared properly, I'd bump that up and hit Vergalid Mines. Just stick with the Orcs, Goblins, Alligators. Stay away from the drakkin guards, as there are many that are Clerics that suck to deal with at low levels.

Tosk (SoD) stick with the boars and you will be money. Great exp at that level.

Those are my three suggestions for a casual and all can be molo'd without much problem.

 

[Sum1]

Tosk is still fairly well traveled due to its reputation as a good upper, but not max, level zone for PL'ing. If you're running Kiss afk or semi-afk I'd probably suggest somewhere other than there. RSS might be a great suggestion, and vergalid, even if there are others in there, tends to be big enough that you could probably get away with macroing out of the way somewhere. I'd also suggest the DoD missions for fast, easy killing (would just have to get new instances periodically), or maybe Ashengate (always loved that zone to PL in, especially when it was a hotzone).

 

[impatientuser]

I missed DoD completely. Could you recommend a DoD mission or two? I thought the game was big during PoP/LDoN.... but I need a recap episode or something because it is just crazy huge now.

 

[Raysu]

Can I do this with a 80 War and 80 Rogue via KISS, or do I need a slower? I have 80 war and rogue (both Abstruse and lvl 80 baz gear).. and crappy Mercs. (FTP accounts).. maybe have my 66 wiz sit and leach exp too.. Is that possible?

 

[Maskoi]

This was posted about Recruit a friend which gave like 300% bonus. It was discontinued.

He was pulling manually.

There is no reason you can't follow this guide though. You would need 2 cleric mercs and another DPS merc of your choice. The warrior would have to pull with rogue assisting tank.

Unless the accounts in question were active on a february 27th, 2012, in which case they took a screenshot of that and used it to grandfather the accounts in question to keep that xp bonus whenever both accounts were gold (they could lose gold status after and get it back and not lose the xp bonus,b ut had to be subbed on that day)

My RAF accounts still get the bonus.

 

[mroutlaw]

mine are still bonused even if they werent active seems as long as you payed for the one month they stayed active who knows but im happy i made about 15 of them , lol

 

[gnomea]

I agree with mroutlaw, every raf account I made seems to have the bonus. Doesn't matter if it was subbed or not.

You dont *need* a slower, but with crappy merc healers, it would be very helpful, especially if your tank has low aa's. If your taunting is good enough, you can get dps caster mercs set to burn, and mobs die quickly, but most tanks are unlikely to be able to hold that much aggro (well, thats my experience at 95.)

 

[Dutch_SK]

4: Swarm - AE hate - DS kill - Pop merc let them impale themselves.

Sorry for bumping such on old thread, but could anyone explain this method? I don't understand the part where you pop a merc.

Thanks in advance.

 

[etherealmist]

merc is probably a cleric who heals you as you aren't attacking (life tapping) to heal yourself. The AE threat is to keep the mobs on you so you can still damage shield them down.

as the initial method obviously isn't viable anymore, what's a good way to go from 1-50 now? zone-wise

 

[Dutch_SK]

I go CR till around 18ish, then I move to BM and kill gnolls till around 25ish and move up to the bee's till around lvl 36ish.

Then zone to Goru'kar Mesa and kill everything there till around 40ish, then I move to the Giants in that zone till I am high level enough to enter POI.

After POI comes COD mostly and then the toons are high level enough to group with my lvl 95 box team, for sweet exp

 

[Akatora]

I just go to city of mist at lvl 5, shrouded of course and use the throw stone, but i recently went to undershore and was getting more exp, from 26 to 58 it took just under 2 hours to get that far, then i fell asleep LOL

 

[etherealmist]

can you explain what you mean akatora? I'm confused and have never used shrouding except for like 10 minutes when it was released.

 

[dulak]

You shroud to a warrior of any kind and get the combat ability Throw Stone. It can't be resisted. Which means, while the train of mobs are currently beating on your main toon, your little toon will be targeting each mob and using throw stone. You do 1 point of dmg to each one, then let the DS on your main kill them and your little toon reaps the mass amounts of xp.

 

[Akatora]

Just got back on, but what Dulak said is what I meant, SK pulls a ton of them and /twist in my aoe spells *it works for just casting the same things over and over

and wait for the shrouded toon to hit all the mobs in the area then turn on DS and watch the levels go, i went from 26 to 59 in 1 hour earlier today and had 3 GMs pop up on me to watch me do it LOL.. granted they couldnt see anything wrong but yeah

Wouldnt using oil of fenin ro be much faster? when i pl, i pull 60-80 mobs at a time, would take forever to attack each individual...but one or two casts of aoe damage and its all done except the ds killing.
