Tosh, level 30 is piss easy once you know the game. I'm talking 5x+, but then again, people cheat in oPQ for insane exp, so they'd probably just do that. And even then, they'll get to 7x and find themselves getting ~10% per hour from grinding.

And yes, most of us could level up once per day IF WE SAT DOWN AND GRINDED FOR SEVEN HOURS. Not all of us bot, you know, so we have to take into account not only the fact that we have a life outside of the game, but also the fact that grinding for seven hours would bore anyone with a brain to death, even if you enjoyed grinding. And Jason... Never, unless he played literally all day and got 0 hours of sleep.

If he gets 10% an hour, then he can level twice a day.

He just doesn't want to do something like quit his job, which makes perfect sense. I wouldn't either. I'm just saying it's possible if you liked the game enough.

And only take 4 hours total each day to sleep, piss, eat, and ya know, LIVE?

We all realize these things are possible, but even one level a day would be a ridiculous undertaking after 100. I mean yeah, if you were a robot and could play 24-7 (and not get bored) you could be leveling a couple times everyday and still be legit. But we're not robots. We have to eat and sleep and **** and go to school/work and not just stay in our rooms all day. o_O

Even a robot would manage to commit some form of suicide at that point.

Also, I think Jason said he gets more like 5% per hour.

Get a Life.

I'm not into this game like I was last summer. I'm more focused on Life. I played this game pretty much every day for about 5+ hours during the summer and only got around 10 levels(40-50) by then end of it. The fact that you guys can get that much amazes me.

The main difference is how you spend your time on the game.

5 hours of what? Talking? Questing? Marketing?

5 hours of grinding at those levels would level you at least once. Most likely twice, and if you were good enough, thrice.

Still nice to know that my ~100 sheep in Trickster levels once an hour.

Yeah, but Trickster has a different cap. And if it's any lower, it just means Trickster was made to be an easier game.

I've played a game with literally thousands of levels. It was terrible.

No, it just means Trickster is an easier game. EXP is not the same in both games.

I'm just as satisfied in Trickster having gotten to 142 as I was in Maple for getting to 90 and it took a fraction of the time. A fraction as in 1/10.

Best I could manage was 2.3m-2.5m exp per hour.

Craig on Suuushi (17x hermit) in Scania could do 3.5m tops in a full squid party at full speed (non-stop everyone). Now he gets TOPS 4.2m exp per hour doing him, a 15x hermit, and a non-leeching HS mule at squids.

2.5m exp per hour at my level (5% per hour) is 20 hours to level, non-stop, best I could do. That doesn't count stopping to pot, people leaving the party, taking breaks, finding a party/priest/etc, and chatting.

I never tried a party like Craig has. Nor have I done just me and a priest at grims in a long time (and none above 13x). Nor have I yet to grim on the new grims (higher defense and hp).

the only good thing about trickster, is drilling, and getting a good party so it makes your EXP 2.5

Meh, I used to play Trickster. It was nice. But then it got deleted, so I couldn't play it anymore. Seriously, drilling quests are fun. Drilling and chatting at the same time, digging for treasure, getting random crap you almost never use...

Ah, that was the good ol' days. If I had the chance, I would play Trickster again. Just so I can see my lion again in it's greatness. Guns FTW.

@Afro: I don't know about Grims, I only went as far as Reg DTs since that was the only place my Priest Bud could snipe at o_O. They did around 1.7~1.8k touch, reflected ~100. PS I got 24 Exp from a CRog today rofl.

Meh, might go play maple for a while. I'm waiting for Audition Online to be patched, since they are going through a new patch today. I wonder if the beta shirts will be given today; I've always wondered what it looked like. And I think Nexon is fixing the gifting system in Audition Online, too. Heh, can't wait.

In all reality, Banditcom, it doesn't really matter how long it takes after level 119, because it isn't really a realistic scale anymore. Imagine trying to level to 60 without a second job, a PQ, or any decent quests. It'd probably be in real pain in the ass compared to getting there with a second job, a PQ, and many quests. You see, after level 119, you level just because you feel like it. I mean yeah, you get some strength boosts, but besides that, you don't really get much and stuff just gets harder. It'll be much easier once you get that massive boost of power from getting 4th job.

Cleric is level 53 now. Skils:
Heal 30
MPE 20
Tele 20

Next up, 5 invinc, 20 bless, 15 invinc, 11 into something.

But first, I'm gonna make an archer, just for the hell of it.
