it's all about the clear speed.
Lv 99 atm.
Current Relative Exp/hrRates from my experience
Dried lake 2.6mil/hr-3mill/hr (only run for lvl gems/rare gear vendor recipe/brittle when i don't feell ike mapping)
Strand - 7mill/hr Jungle valley - approx 7.5mill+/hr; better if i don't do the boss cuz the loading time for the spider to spawn take quite long. Residence/underground river/malformation - 9mill/hr // too many dead ends/doors Canyon/Dry pen - 9.5-10mil/hr Necropolis - about 10mil/hr // maybe faster if i skip waiting for those dam spiders to crawl out Arid lake - 11-13mil/hr // Up to arid lake tier (exclude gorge), you can pretty much sustain a continuous pool of these by just running blue maps solo + using drops to buy reruns. Gorge - 13-16mill/hr // On avg i'm at about 14 mill with item pickup. Springs - last I chained springs back to back was early lv 98s; the exp was about the same as gorge from memory, mainly cuz I wait for those guys to pop their heads from the tents :C if i don't wait, then the exp/hr would outclass gorge by a mile. Plat - havnt actually tried much plats so i can't give a relative exp/hr //to maintain blue gorges on currency drops (including 6s/chaos/regal recipe material/chromatic gear) alone, you need about 3 ppl's worth of rotation; that will get you enough currency to continuously run blue gorges. For blue plats you'll need a 4 member rotation. If you add in lucky drops like maybe a drillneck/kaoms + good map drops then you net in extra earnings. As far as High T map go, I think waterways/core are the best ones for fast exp/hr; but that gets expensive even with rotation so, I don't do them; Anyhow, keep up the work; just think about this whole leveling process as a journey in search of the mirror of kalandra :D Last edited by SIQI#7936 on Apr 24, 2016, 11:55:04 PM

Sigh. If you really want to get to level 100, don't do solo. Do gorge/plateau rotations with friends or public party who are also leveling. And just wear xp gear - walk around and do nothing. I'm sure you will have one or two people in party with voltasick, spark, coc that are one-shotting everything in maps lol.
This way you save your money, and you will level faster. |

" There is more of a sense of accomplishment from not leeching to the end. But it depends why someone wants to 100 in the first place, i doubt its the marginal stat gain. IGN: Arlianth

" In my experience at 99 you can get 16-18mil in Arids/Gorges with a Voltaxic Sparker, lower if not. Springs is 18-20mil, and the best is definitely Waterways in terms of clear speed (if you know how to run it) and exp efficiency, topping out 22-25mil. You should really be aiming for 20mil an hour Imho in T11's that aren't Springs as they are the best to run now with taking in account; cost, exp, clear speed and danger.

" completely untrue. :c Unless you run ONLY blue gorges yeah. So if you find another T9 map it doesnt count... In this case it can even be a 10 member rotation, because rng is rng after all. Anyway, blue t8-t11 is perfectly sustainable solo if you already have a decent map pool from the start to not get limited by the rng unlucky spread factor. " Absolutely true, it's what we have been saying from the start, thx for paraphrasing. Also, it's less painfull because it's less stressfull and less difficult, there is almost nothing that will kill you, just do not kill yourself on reflet and volatile blood / ice storm explosions... :p The blue t9-t10 XP gain is NOT that different to rippy yellow packsize t12, just 100% safier and like 30% slower. The safety justifies the speed difference. Ok Crema boss deals huge damage if you like to take a shower. On the contrary, piety ice form is a bitch and can kill you without damage/-res mods. That said, i always do the bosses in my maps, even when i try to increase my levels, maybe why i prefer blue maps to level up ;) I will never be good but always I try to improve.

Good luck to you, turnip. I got one of my characters to Lv 94 a few months ago and about drove myself nuts in the process (I'm a very casual player). After wasting tons of alcs, chaos and scours I finally settled on running blue +pack size maps. Now that Zana sells T10s and T11s I've decided to give it a go with my favorite char...COC Pathfinder.
Starting from 92 a while back I'm now at 93.72 and hoping to hit 94 soon and was thinking about going for 95 or higher. I'm also soloing as the few times I run with friends/guild mates they have an uncanny ability to get me killed (usually from opening a box). At this point I had to swap out some flasks to prioritize defense while still keeping offense high for clear speed (Basalt flask in the hands of a Pathfinder with 47% increased flask effect is a lifesaver). So this and another layer of defense with a CWDT curse is keeping me alive pretty well so far. So no more facetanking Maegara or Atziri runs for the time being...(boo) but you've given me some inspiration to go for 95 at least. Feel free to ping me in game if you ever need to vent a little. :D |

Okay so when I started this thread I was on 94 70% then plat/ gorged myself to 90%
Last map before bed - a blue plat. Running great, melting everything, then these pillars of stone with lightning start crashing. Seen them before and know they are Dangerous. So I play it real slow, careful, edging my way to try and whack the mobs with my crit Bladefall. I mean I was really careful, and then bam. I was left with two options - Resurrect in town or at checkpoint. After punching the monitor, I took deep breaths and realised I was back to 80% after bragging how well I was doing on Blue plats. But I guess you learn from every death. Trouble is I didn't want the lesson at 90%. So now it's back to blue chateaus. As I run them blue till I hit 90% again. This is gonna take a while as I'm anxious about another f*** up. How are you supposed to beat the stone lightning columns from hell? Oh well back to plodding through. Bit demoralised as it looked like I was gonna do 94 without a rip. But the support on this thread has given me more determination and has been great support from me With all the stories. Be good to hear some more. So I lost almost 40c and two days work. Anyhoo, back to the grind. Tyvm for all feedback. Turnip TLDR. now need more cigs. Prob whisky. Sedatives. And let's hope I don't rip again up to 90. |

" Glad I gave you some inspiration. I hope I give others determination to hit 95, and it ain't easy. I really want a hundred if my nerves hold. 96 is a soft cap. I might take a break when and if I hit 96. Gl mate on hitting 94. And to everyone struggling through the mid nineties. |
