What is the fastest way to level from 10 to 20?

I've gotten my Necro to level 10 in just over an hour, and I'm looking to get to 20 by the end of the night. I'll probably play for about 2-3 hours. I don't care at all about the storyline as I have seen it with 11 other characters who have already cleared the game completely.

Now, with my first necro, I'm looking to reach level 20 and have some fun with that.

Suggestions?

He's still on noob island in factions.

Once you get to Kaineng, things should go smoothly. Get ran to Vinuzah and Tahnakkai temple. The later is a repeatable quest, which is extremely easy for an mm...

Factions is insanely easy to level in. There are two kinds of people, generally, that will say to bring less hench when questing because you get more experience per kill, and those that say bring more hench and quest faster, because quest completion gives you more experience. Ultimately, the choice is yours. You should be roughly level 13 by the time you hit Zen Daishun, if you've done all the secondary profession missions that are available, and side quests.

I can normally hit Kaineng in about two to three hours at level thirteen or fourteen. Let me know what you decide to do. Also, scrolls, scrolls, scrolls. Arborstone is a great area to clear with some scrolls.

By the time he gets to arbor stone he has already reached level 20.

Agreed...

Long day at work...

So you "cleared the game completely" with 11 characters and you don't know how to level your necro fast huh?

You should be to level 18 or 19 before even leaving Shing Jea if you do EVERY quest available.

You can 20 on noob island, but getting above ~10 is wasting time compared to the exp you gain on the mainland.

Washi... right on, bro! lmao

As for level 18 or 19 by the time you leave noob island, that would take way too much of my time while powerleveling. You are normally 13 or 14 when you speed level. I can do it in a couple hours... sometimes under. Another suggestion is to join a guild that helps! lol

My guild will powerlevel any character I create, and I do the same for them. However, I also have a guild with 20+ daily active and we make it a point to help each other out. It is great when you have a level twenty spirit spammer and barrage ranger coming to help your level ten character speed level.

When you are on noob island, don't do cap's son. Buy the letter for 1k, in town, and save yourself the time. Trust me. The meager exp you get for killing crimson's doesn't compare to the exp for completing quests.

I did level 1-20 in about 6 hours on my Sin, doing quests as fast as possible and using full party of henchies wherever I was working at the moment. This is probably not a record, because I died a few times and made a few other mistakes, but it was basically my attempt at a speed run. I did a little prep work before I started -- I looked up some of the quests I remembered doing on other characters and tried to map them out to avoid backtracking, both on noob island and the mainland.

I got to the mainland around level 10-12 but I'm not sure how much time that took. I did most if not all of the secondary profession quests on noob island, and shortly after getting to Kaineng I did the quests to unlock travel to LA and Kamadan so I could buy some skills (Golden Fox Strike + Wild Strike > Am Fah Assassins' Flashing Blades). After getting to Kaineng, I bought max armor, aquired every quest in Kaineng; did some of the quests, got to Marketplace, went outside into Wajjun, got all the quests there and then finished all the quests I had. (I'm sick of seeing Officer Chitaro; if you try powerleveling this way you'll know what I'm talking about.) All that got me from level 11-13 to 20 in 3-4 hours. Capping elites is good for 250 XP x current level, so 4000 XP at level 16, 4250 at level 17 etc. I think I capped an elite or 2 after doing the Orrian Tome quest, so that helped some.

One of the mistakes I made was trying to avoid buying better armor before getting to Kaineng. Get the armor at Ran Musu Gardens as soon as you get there.

Hm... do all the quests you can get on newbie isle. Many of them, especially those for the various secondary professions, have nice exp rewards and are really easy.

Once you're in Kaineng, take all the quests, and do them. It's like 3k exp per quest, and as long as you don't do the Corruption thing until you've done ther rest, the Am Fah won't bother you, so there are very few fights, and if you go with a full-hench team, it's easy.

I got my Rt to level 20 in little over 3 hours of effective play. Of course, I also racked up almost 50 deaths by then, but I was going for fast, not safe.

Some tips... get the best armor as soon as you can. In Ran Musu, and then in Kaineng. Keep/buy two naga pelts from newbie isle and keep them for an easy quest later on. Another option is having a friend help and go hunt the bosses in the early areas (Wajjun, Bukdek, Vizunah, Undercity) and cap elites. That depends on your profession, though.

LOL... well as people have said, doing quests in Shing jea and Kaineg is the fastest way. But in the end it depends what you're powerlevelling for... If you'll power level and then have to quest to get to where you're going, then why bother rushing anyway?

I keep duying in the first mob in Kaieng as my A/W 14. I can't even beat the simpliest quests (except the first one)

are you bringing henchmen? all you have to do is aggro th mobs and give your henchies targets.
