At level 62, I am still getting decent exp at 4-5% an hour as an SK when I duo.
I am wondering how much exp drops when I reach, 67, 70, 74? If you are those levels, could you give an approximate of how much exp per hour you get? 2%? 1%? .5%? .25%? Also please state your class and whether you solo/duo/group when getting that exp.
Any constructive posts appreciated ('it will get a lot slower n00b, you're lucky' is not constructive :) ).
My friends are all high levels, 65-75, so in a really good nuker group, you might get up to 2% an hour, close to 2% if its just a good nuker group and perhaps 1,5% or below in a bad one..
In a normal mixed melee (archers/daggers/sleeper/SwS/BD/tank/healer), with an outside buff bot, or with outside SE (MP regen) and party with WC you might pull about 1-1,5% if your lucky, usually somewhere a little above 1 or under 1 per hour..
So XP is slow, but hey, by that time your more grinding on the spirit of making level 75 and/or just hanging with your friends so few high levels I know actually watch their XP, they tend to hide it/force themself to never look and grind on :)
so yeah, not too bad, will take 100 hours total from 74-75, (time to take to get to leveling spot, downtime etc), just make sure you keep getting good groups.
Acutally, I find it difficult to get 1% in a buff round soloing now at 71 because the mobs in blazing swamp are bugged and don't give the 20% xp bonus.
46 to 47 = 2.7M XP
47 to 48 = 2.9M XP.
48 to 49 = 3.1M XP.
49 to 50 = 3.3M XP.
There is no wall there, see the pattern? Very steady increases, but nothing dramatic.
But, from 50 to 51 is 5.4M XP.
The pattern resumes until the next wall:
51 to 52 = 5.7M XP
52 to 53 = 6.1M XP
53 to 54 = 6.5M XP
54 to 55 = 6.9M XP
Then, another wall.
55 to 56 = 9.8M XP
56 to 57 = 10.5M XP
57 to 58 = 11.1M XP
58 to 59 = 11.8M XP
59 to 60 = 12.5M XP
Here it comes:
60 to 61 = 19.8M XP
61 to 62 = 20.9M XP
62 to 63 = 22.1M XP
63 to 64 = 23.4M XP
64 to 65 = 24.6M XP
Incoming!
65 to 66 = 34.6M XP
66 to 67 = 36.5M XP
67 to 68 = 38.4M XP
68 to 69 = 40.4M XP
69 to 70 = 42.4M XP
70 to 71 = 44.6M XP
Is there no wall at 70?!
71 to 72 = 58.5M XP
Oh =/ Here comes another
72 to 73 = 73.6M XP
.. and another..
73 to 74 = 90.0M XP
and the last one:
74 to 75 = 100.8M XP
P.S.
I would like to thank Amer for this info, he gets all the credit.
I duo with either a prophet or an SE and I alternate where I hunt. Usually apostate hits the spot. 4x mops with not much running to get to the next mop is good. Prophet heals + life leech is usually enough to go non-stop. With VR and no prophet buffs, its even better but slighly slower (not much).
After seeing that horrid chart, I now know the truth. The only way to get to level 75 is either:
1) Not allow yourself to live outside of the game for 1 year
2) Bot
Heh, I guess now we know why people bot, they want to get to level 75, and they don't want to feel like they wasted their lives away playing a computer game.
it is said it takes roughly 250 hours in game play party hours in a good group in the top Necro down at the heart of DVC or top of ToI. Anywhere else is going to take you more then that.
If you play insanely at 80 hours a week 74 - 75 will take you a little over 3 weeks
If you play 40 hours a week 74 - 75 will take you a little over 6 weeks
If you play 20 hours a week 74- 75 will take you 12.5 weeks
If you play 10 hours a week 74 - 75 will take you 25 weeks
5 hours a week almost a year

that is way too drastic lol. Level 74 is not that slow. Players in my clan get about 1% an hour. So about 100 hours, not 250. What groups are you in? lol
there is only a max level of 75 ppl!! if you don't plan to subclass your leveling is OVER then. People play games for 1000s of hours and don't realize it, using a couple hundred hours to get the last few levels on a game is nothing!

Actually... didn't they state that they are removing the lvl cap?

If you wish to forsake your chance at becoming a Noblese and a Hero, you can continue to level after 75 (which niether the Noblese or Hero will be able to do), with the option to over enchant skills.

Frist of all I read the same info as you, and in no way can you say for certian that this is true!
Tho they said there thinking of removing the lvl cap.
Tho this will possibly only happen for 3 class change or nobles.
I personlly would say forget being a hero and just try to get to your frist subclass!
In no way do we know what the overenchanted skill thing is going to be like, so don't start even more rummors that we don't need.
on another note it would be in best interrest for NCsoft to start their PTS up in the next mounth or so, and patch it like they will in KR.
IMO I think by the end of oct PTS will be up and runing, and people will be lvling toons to become a nooble! and they will be doig weekly boost!
You guys seem to be forgetting about sieges, getting PKed, clan war, time spent LFG, etc.
Anyone who isn't carebear and actually PVPs once in a while isn't gonna hit 75 without botting/powerlvling services etc unless you spend your life on L2.
Pigtail's claimed 4.5%/hr at lv70 is almost unheard of, even with a perfect group. You can hope for 2.5% an hour at 70.

After 50 in C1 it got really bad. Went from level per day to 10% per day.
Now they made it easier. Almost level per day after 50. If you get a couple hours of good party time in you can at least make 50% per day.
60-70 is all in where you hunt. Lair pytan rooms are the bomb.
After 70 all down hill. 1% per hour is about right in a good necro/cata room. Deep in lair is quicker but more dangerous/expensive.
Yes I know, isn't it funny? C1 level 65, is like now level 75. And 100 hours pure grinding? Doesn't sound like much? 24 hours in a day, if you didn't sleep for 100 hours you could do 75 in 4 days and 4 hours. Assuming you had a perfect group for all that time too. So yeah, if you think 100 hours per level is easy, lets say you did probably 10 hours a day leveling, you'll do your last ding in 10 days. What were you assuming, that it would take a month? 250 hours would take a month lol.
Well I just finished played a game for 3 years where my level didn't change for 1.5 years, so getting a level in 4 days sounds easy to me, if it's the last level :P
I got a job for you in my company lol. You do understand average person who has an 8 hour shift actually works about 100 hours in 3 weeks. that should put things into perspective....
So working a full time job for 3 weeks is how long it would be for you to level from 74-75 in a perfect group LOL!
It is absurd someone do the math and tell us how many of xxx mobs you need to kill to level.
sorry but killing 17000 snake men or orcbashers to make a level is ******ed. The content is not even close to what it should be to support such a slow leveling curve :/
No offense but anyone that devotes that much time to playing a game in a short period of time should require manditory therapy :(
Reality is almsot everyone of them cheated and no they will never admit it of course and they always have a handful of friends who swears the guy didnt cheat LOL!

Wrong. With out of party Prophet and SE I got 3.5% soloing at BS up to 71. 2.5% 71-72. And about 1.5% at 73. 1.2% per hour is the best I can get so far at 74.

Yes, because a ton of people have two high-level out-of-party buffers and healers to follow them around everywhere.
You can get way more than 1% per hour in the right group at lvl 74. I'm 74, and I can get 3, sometimes 4% an hour in archer parties at the portal in DVC. BD/SwS/2 healers (usually 1 Bishop/1 EE/SE)/4 archers with an SR or HE pulling, and fill the 9th spot with either a sorc/sps (in which case we run trains down there and sleep cloud everything) or another archer. Add in an out of party prophet and you can get WAY more than 1% an hour.
Bah, your all geting the wrong party matches. You should kick out that gladiator or swordsinger for a warsmith level 60+ Warsmith is the best class to have in a party hands down, be it raiding, hunting or pvp.

Are you talking about AoE, or something else.
Cause every one knows WS don't do that much dmg.
Talking to a clanie about a subclass raid mob we where doing, My lvl 55 necro,and his lvl 53 BH A.T.T., I said I was doing 480 dmg with CDL, and he was like [censored] I'm only doing like 20 dmg each hit.
I really think this lvl Wall needs to be removed... just look at it. from 54 to 55 is 6.9m xp then 55 to 56 it 9.8m xp.. thats why it takes so **** long to lvl.. it should be more like 6.9 then change at the next lvl to 7.2m!! (W/E look in Player sajustions for what I meen)
it should take a long time to lvl. Lineage 1 has been out for 5 years and no one has maxed out a character to level 99. I tried DOAC and found everyone had 3 or 4 max characters. too boring. Want an easy game play something else
Hammer
Ok I didn't even bother reading the other 6 pages cause this all depends on the player, how often you pvp, what groups you get and all that other stuff. Its all depended on the player. I should be 75 with like 4 alts at like 60+ but I screw around too much. Right now, even with screwing around, I get like 10% with normal groups. And when I AoE, I can get like a level a day or more. But im only 62.
Also, it helps if you dont think about numbers. I watch dvd's, listen to music, ventrillo etc while leveling and barely even look at my xp bar. If you start thinking of numbers and how long its going to take you are gonna flip

Im a victim of looking at my xp bar cause im a healer. Not much to do when you have a stable group that barely needs heals.

That only says poorly about the game itself - when people during playing it, try to forget about it as much as possible...
I do that with every game though, first person shooters, even at friends house with co op games we have music on or something. Its that american multitasking lifestyle I cannot escape!

The WS is useful because he can craft at the XP spot allowing for longer groups. An archer can probably carry on average 3000 arrows and 9000 BSS before hitting the weight penalty. Bring a WS along with materials and you can double or triple the time you can XP before restocking. Going to the heart takes 1.5 buff rounds generally and you may lose your spot to someone else in the time it takes to restock.
i didn't reread the whole thread, but i did a little test today just to check what exp i get. with my gladi (lvl 72 now) and my lvl 50 se buffer in a dou, killing mobs in witches cata green to the gladi, i can get 1.2% an hour on my gladi. The SE gets about 8% an hour. Using just the SE buffs and haste 2 pots.
I couldn't be bothered reading the whole thread but here's my input. In a full sized archer party I was getting 2-4% each hour at lvl 74 and I was getting about 3-5% each hour in a duo with a SwS in the Forest of the Dead with an out of party prophet. Exp does slow down a lot as you lvl more but it doesn't slow down too much if you know how to make parties well.
After 50 in C1 it got really bad. Went from level per day to 10% per day.
Now they made it easier. Almost level per day after 50. If you get a couple hours of good party time in you can at least make 50% per day.
60-70 is all in where you hunt. Lair pytan rooms are the bomb.
After 70 all down hill. 1% per hour is about right in a good necro/cata room. Deep in lair is quicker but more dangerous/expensive.
actually wrong. i did 51-52 in 1 day in c1 in cemetary. sh/se duo.
Also depended on your gear in c1.
I didnt have top cgrade till 52 i didnt have bgrade till 58 and 2 weeks into C2.
Sure u could level from 51 - 52 in c1 but most people had sub standard gear and there was a lot of lack of places to hunt with substandard gear or very large perfect parties.
it is said it takes roughly 250 hours in game play party hours in a good group in the top Necro down at the heart of DVC or top of ToI. Anywhere else is going to take you more then that.
If you play insanely at 80 hours a week 74 - 75 will take you a little over 3 weeks
If you play 40 hours a week 74 - 75 will take you a little over 6 weeks
If you play 20 hours a week 74- 75 will take you 12.5 weeks
If you play 10 hours a week 74 - 75 will take you 25 weeks
5 hours a week almost a year
lol I got 35% in 1 day at lvl 74, and I played only 10 hours or so... :)
I killed a mob the other day and got 129%! Level 1 ftw!
HAHA twiked character first kill 320% triple lvl FTW!!!
In your face! 923% with big boom on the 1st round =P
Hum I went from lvl 1 to lvl 9 first pull, and to lvl 15 on the secound pull.. then lvl 20 on the next pull my first time geting big boomed on one of my alts.
But omg 35% in 10 hours @ lvl 74 where the hell where you lvling at?
What level is it about 1% an hour like you said? You gave 65-75, but I don't think 65 is the same as 74 in terms of exp ;)
Im lvl 65 now and I can get 6-7% an hour solo. Thats if im undisterbed the hole time but usually someone or something happens to brake up the grind. But it is possible to continue to get 5% an hour at least at 65. Keep in mind this is just solo casual grinding. I don't have a set deadline to reach 75+ so I really don't worry about xp most of the time.
This is where im at. Only playing 1 hour a night it will be C7 before I get to 75. Specialy given the fact that im at 20% for the 10th time. Seems like 1 enemy finds me atleast once every night. Lvling Solo when you have lots of enemies gets pretty dangerous.
As a 74 SH I can get 1%/hr only soloing in FoTD. That's SOLOING (no buffs, no recharge, nothing except acumen pots). If I have buffs that jumps to about 1.5%/hr :)
The grind at 76+ is already scaring me and I'm not even there yet :S I'll never get to be top level... sigh ... every time i get close NC goes and raises the level cap. Level cap going to be 80 in C5 :S

I hear ya brother. I see you in FOTD and I always think"he's going through what I'm going through!"
I wanna ask one newbie question - can you get 3rd class and subclass both or you have to chose which one you want?
