how long does it take YOU to level?
apparently on both characters. 7 days.
first day = 20 levels, 10 levels after that each subsequent day
5-10 minutes if I don’t get side tracked like I often tend to do….
lol back during speed farming days, could take you less than 20 minutes to level almost 3 times.
Just 1 level. any level really, im just curious
I’m on a rate of about 2 levels per playing period of sometimes 2 hours or less sometimes max of 4 but a lot of that time is spent chatting in the chat window and exploring the crafting tables etc. I made level 37 today and that took most of my playing time of a couple of hours. But, I was also doing my “dailies” and so I had to run around to several places to get enough different kinds of mobs killed to get my points. Also, had to do 5 events today (seems this keeps going up each daily?)
From ArenaNet developers “players should be be able to progress about one level for every hour and a half of play time”.
I would argue that does not account for time you spend outside combat. The 1 level to 1..5 hours a play rule is broken quickly when you do dungeon runs or go help friends with personal story. These things are not good XP sources (dungeon’s especially if you end up wiping). WvW tends to give great XP if you are the right level to benefit from it.
Leveling speed will depend how how you supplement XP from combat with XP from exploring and crafting. How quickly the zone you’re playing in lends itself to frequent chained eventss and on those all working.
From level 1-10 took about 5 hours for me. To get from 70-75 took about 15 hours. But those levels from 70-75 I had no XP from exploring, I spent a lot of my in game time helping others with PS and trying dungeons.
Learned some lessons but have no regrets.
As long as it takes.
Yeah, I don’t worry about it too much. I played 7 hours or so last night and gained about 2 levels (or less) … but we stayed in character the entire time and rped, so it was a very satisfying seven hours. I’m not rushing toward anything, got my second tear Elite tonight and that’s the last big target I was shooting for. Might take me another month to hit 80 and I’m more than okay with that.
I’m sorry I stepped outta yer box, don’ worry, if
ya whine enough they’ll put me right back.
Never timed it, but my main at 80 had been played ~142 hours, so that averages out to 1.775 hours per level.
1 a day. It’s quite fast in some of the starter zones, but by the time you hit 25 about 95% of your xp comes from daily achievements. I tend to swap to a new character to get the event ones though because if I wanted to get 5 events for my main it would take about 6-7 hours.
Took me about 72 hours /age to get my 2nd char to 80. Though in that time, I also got 2 crafting skills to 400.
10 levels per day, if you play all day.
1-2 levels if you only play a few hours.
