    People who level at breakneck speed

    How the hell do they do it?

    My LS leader said when WotG came out there was a DNC who after 5 hours was like 25, next day he logged in(slept 8 hours) he was like 50, and in less then 48 hours 75.

    Now its about what? 500k from 1 -> 75? Now if you have your sub at 37, all gear bought so no farming/genkai/maatfight/questing/outpostwarps ect done, I could see getting it to 75 in a week but 48 hours?

    It's not that I don't see someone taking the time to do it but this isn't a solo game in the same regards wow is and even then it takes a lotta time to just get a party. If you do the math on it, he needs 10k an hour every hour for 48 hours straight to hit 75 in time, and from what I recall he did it like 20 which is like 13k+ an hour.

    Now just travel time, setting up parties and even if your powerleveled and got instant invites or had your own static with a powerlevel I don't see how its possible yet people are doing it...


    Anyone have any insight on these players who can level a job 1-75 in a mater of 2 days? Or even less then a week?

    "WoTG came out" no level sync.

    Keeping up 13k/hr isn't terribly hard, building a 5 DD PT, with a PL and a BRD PL, staying awake 48 hours is more challenge than the exp/rate.

    There was a JP like this in my LS, she would level jobs to 75 in a matter of weeks. You'd never see her seeking, if she was in exp mode she'd always be in a party (rarely if ever leader, though). I never understood how she managed to do it so fast, but I think the three main factors were 1. the sheer amount of time she spent logged in, 2. the fact that she was JP on quite a JP-heavy server and 3. her ability to play for very long periods of time consistently without a break.

    Like was said before, 5 dd bard static party with someone pling could pull it off. Add lots and lots of caffine and hot pockets = level 75.

    (imagine grinding like in that WoW southpark episode)

    There are several ways in wow you can powerlevel at insane speeds, like 1-60 in 12 hours.

    But all those methods don't exist in this game.

    Problem with the 5dd 1 bard strat is finding people to do it with you both to stay up and others to PL.

    I did 1-60 in about 4 and a half days playtime on WoW, and I'd say atleast 10 hours of that was dicking around. The exp with the linked accounts is insane, getting 30k+ per quest in the 50's, and plowing through them because you've got a 2 man team of rogue and paladin. :D

    Shortly after it got boring and I went back to ffxi ^^

    Today there is level sync so minus SMN burns, there are worm stomps and other level sync'd activities that can yield high exp and hour.

    Fortunately, dancer is one of those jobs you can rush to 75 via sync/any other way without having to worry about skills. The vast majority of people have a job with dagger skill, so it's not like dark with magic and scythe, or any job with tons of skills to worry about.

    1. Put together 5 heavy DDs + 1 brd/cor/another heavy DD from fellow HNM shells (no pickup gimps) and everyone brings their own PL.

    2. Go to non-regular exp zones and pull everything in site.

    3. ???

    That's because it was Priceless on Siren. 6 awesome players with every drop in the game and literally XP'd for 48 hours straight. They also had an outside WHM for haste/curing. If you played with intelligent linkshell members for 48 hours in a row, I think you'd be surprised how fast you could level too.

    So, see, you knew the answer to the question when you asked it. Your issue is with execution

    Well that will take you from 36-43.

    What about the rest of the way? This is excluding level sync obviously since hes asking about before level sync came into existance.

    And the goblin pet answer is the correct one.

    Having the option to PL yourself on goblin pets certainly helps, although if you want to rush it and get to 75 in a week or less, it's almost mandatory that you are capable of and willing to create your own parties. This warrants making a good party too, not just inviting whoever the hell is online and seeking. Unless you're playing some support job (BRD, etc.) or can solo all the way to 75, you're not going to get enough invites without doing so. If you're good at it you can almost always put something decent together and get 8K+/hour.

    When I decided to lvl cor a ls mate of mine w/ a 75 rdm mule decided he'd lvl cor too. With 2x cor and 4 dd we were making 17k/hr in qufim island. Like others said, I also did a ls pt in the 35+s in east ronfaure [s] and I think we were pushing 25k/hr.
