I'm about 3/4 done with my Racials.. been rofl-stomping on a 1 arti, 6 fighter, 13 Wiz. @ 2 jump into full plate and wearing a tower. 6 points in Stalwart gets a nice bump in PRR, and a pile into Vanguard builds your speed and puts that shield to use with a few feats for good measure (Improved bash, Shield Mastery, improved Mastery).

Once I get to Wiz, arcane failure is an issue at first, despite using the Augments to reduce it. Most of the spells are defensive boosts anyways and not something you cast in the heat.

This weekend I was running with various groups, got with one that wanted to do the VON chain. We did Arena & Prisoner, @ which had enough to take 6 (wasn't double capping this time around). We went into Khyber & Khyber 2 on Reaper (1 or 2 I wasn't really paying attention). Several times I ended up carrying every-bodies stones, and I was on my lonesome in the end fight.....

I've crafted my gear for the levels, but that Damn 'No Worries' and 'Motherboard' are just SO fucking nice....

I was cruising through a life every 34-40 hours with a pure warlock. 

Using only crafted gear, GOO with cone/utterdark and instas

Stupidly easy, quite fast.  Little boring, but it’s just heroic quests for racials.  Faster the better

Nice... it takes me about 12-15 hours total play-time per life, ( I use EXP pots)but that is stretched over the course of a week or so, as I only get an hour or two ta play at a time.  It's aggravating.. but I've been fortunate to catch groups doing skull runs on chains which just brings the xp POURING in... especially if you hold back on taking your levels until you absolutely HAVE to.

VON, Delera's, Catacombs, 3BC, Phiarlan... insanely nice XP, especially if you run them at your absolute lowest level possible.... then throw Slayers on top of it and its fucking gravy

Sovereign pot, masters gift, ottos, and 45 min of playtime. All you need from 1-20.

I refuse to run a past life these days unless I have an ottos.

With the exception of 'The Crypt of Gerard Dryden', the chain can be completed VERY quickly.. Gerard can probably be done fast if you have multiple people and each person runs ahead and takes a section... not sure. Solo it tends to be a slog as the caskets keep blowing open once you move to a certain point.

Warlock is of course super-convenient. Fire Cleric is nice to change it up though.

That’s a big fat average too.  There are some level ranges that are xp poor and some hat are great xp, others that are really great xp but quests are far apart. 

The times I really rock it for xp are 3bc in the 4-7 range and 16-20 doing vale/lod/wheloon/stormhorns/sane asylum/orchard slayers. 

If you can log in for more than a couple hours you can blast out hundreds of k of xp quite quickly.  Sane asylum r1/e/h/n/e run is worth 110k and you can rinse repeat the quest in less than 10 mins. Slightly faster if you have someone to hold window.  So 110k in less than an hour, that’s 5.5k/min with no screwing around.  Lod and wheloon are similar with quests stacked right on top of each other, and you supplement running areas between quests in wheloon with some drive-by slayers and explorers. 


So some areas and times, yes I get more than 5k/min, but over an entire life there’s times when it’s closer to 500xp/min because you gotta run between shit or wait for people or get gear outa the bank etc. 


I do my warlock build, have cannith gear sets made up for lvl 3,8,13,18 that maximize every slot on the gear for the build, I use xp stones from gold rolls to get to lvl 3 (a lvl 1 warlock can get to lvl 3 naked on R1 if you don’t have enough stones.  I’ve saved mine for ages on mules.   Heroic warlock are jokes)gear up, then rock.   Then every 5 lvls run to shared bank and take out next gearset.  No searching through TR cache, no fucking around figuring out what gear is best for what build at what lvl etc. 



Try and minimize the time wasted between quests, cause running the same shit over and over 33x for your Racials is painful.

Thanks.   I just felt like kicking the horse
