Fastest time to level 50 ?

Hi all,

I have in the back of my head that there is a speed record for getting a character from level 1 to 50.

So, if anyone knows;

a : Is this true?
b : How long did it take? ( I have a memory of something like 7 hours on a double xp weekend )
c : Was it official ( dev confirmed ), or did they just take screenshots ?

Reason I ask, some friends and I want to take a shot at said record on saturday

Fastest ive seen it was 16hours, ive done it in 19 on a double xp weekend.

---

Fastest I've seen is 22, but with no proof. I've done it in 30 hours before.

---

I think I remember someone claiming 7 hours once upon a time, I can't imagine a dev ever confirming it however as it defeats the point of the whole game.

---

Thanks for all the replies people.

We may well give it a shot and see how we do

Well with perma 46's now available i'd imagine it would be possible to do it faster than ever now.

Only if it goes well

I know that one of the first VEATs took 20 hours and that was before perma bridging and not during DXP so you should get below 10 hours really

Well, we're starting at 10.00am and plan on going out for dinner in the evening, so we only have 9 hours anyways

Should we fail on that at least we'll know what's in store for the next dxp weekend.

Well .. we did it.

1 to 50 in 7 hours 46 minutes.

Congrats to our SG member, the aptly named "Little Miss Sponge"

Character created at 10.12 this morning, levelling up at Castle to 50 completed at 5.58 pm

Will put the screenshots up tomorrow for confirmation. Ok, I know they could technically be doctored, but they haven't been, you'll have to trust me on that

We ran a six person team for most of the day, dropping to 5 for a couple of hours at one point.

Map used was the demon farm, with a switch to battle maiden for one run when the mission reset bug was encountered.

Two fire/kins as main xp gathering, running seperately up each side of the map. Backup provided by other controllers to assist in mezzes and additional damage output where required.

Bridged up to 44, sk'd to a 50 until 45 and then freerun until 50.

We *could* have done it quicker. We lost at least 30 minutes due to bio breaks and sandwiches.
We also lost a small amount of time by forgetting to turn xp back on for the bridge once the lowbie hit 43. This meant we had to SK to 50 rather than the bridge hitting 47 and giving better xp from 44->45

It is possible to do in 7 hours I reckon.

Anyways, eyes now gone very swirly from a straight 8 hours in front of the monitor. If anyone wants to know anything else about the run, please give me a shout. I'm off for a drink

ps

Special mentions to the core of the team :

Bloody Rose ( fire/kin/psi )
Doctor Dimmock ( plant/rad )
Little Miss Magic ( fire/empath/fire )
Little Miss Sponge ( TA/Archery/Sponger )
Other toons used as fills and bridges
And me, Imp Mistress ( fire/kin/psi )

Well done

Congratulations

It takes me about a year to get my toons to 50, let alone 7 hours

Congrats to you

Well, since we all have several level 50's achieved the "old-fashioned" way, it was time to try something different

I don't want to do it again for a long long time though :S

Well i dunno what level he is now, but me and a friend on the US side did 1-38 in 3 hours, but i had to work the rest of DXP so i dunno how long it took for 38-50, ill ask and post back.

Good job btw

I have my own record for lvl 1-50 in 29 hours but that wasn't on a DXP weekend

---

Wow, that must have been really exciting for you!

Exciting definately not the word I would use

But there was a sense of accomplishment at the end of it.

Thanks

We hit 38 in 3 hours 10 minutes, so sounds like you might have been running very slightly quicker than us.

After doing this, we believe 40 is the half-way point with regards to time when doing one of these.

Well done. That's awesome.

I imagine you're thoroughly sick of that map now.

Welldone, Fahie.

Of course that wasn't what i had in mind at first i read your original post but congrats.

I wonder how far a even level team go on a Double XP weekend, all beginning from level 1 and doing regular missions instead of sticking to one map. Maybe i will try to organize something like that on next double xp whenever it will be.
