Halfway point to 70Follow

What is the halfway point to level 70. And no, I don't mean level 35 because everyone knows 1-35 is a hell of a lot easier than 36-70.

So what, experience wise, is "halfway" to level 70?

But getting to 46 isn't nearly as difficult as getting from 46-70. I'm going to say 60 can be the midpoint to 70.

Thats sort of scary that all the work it takes to get to 60 is only half of what it takes for 70.

I would say 51.

I might be superstitious, but I think once you can work on AA's you see a rather large downscale in the amount of exp you get per kill.

Sure, level 69 takes a while, but in my opinion the biggest smack in the face is at 51. People probably just don't notice it as much because at 51 you can still get a hefty PL from a level 70 up until maybe 60-62 range. After that, the 70 sees too many Lt. Blues to move your exp bar (fungus grove anyone? Lol)

I believe they develop the progression of the game in balance with what a character is "capable" of, like at 51 if I really wanted to, I could get a few hundred aa's to sink into extra stats. Thinking back to say Luclin (were aa's around then?), a +5 to Str was a big deal wasn't it? So thereby making a respectable difference in the players abilities at that level. That is worthy of curbing exp (for the devs) so power doesn't come easy.. .. . and then some a-hole made Macroquest. I swear if I ever meet a person using that hack program in RL they'll have reason to take me to court! F*in ruined EQ.. but I digress.

Don't think of the game as what level you are.. Think of it as "Do I have enough AA's for my class at this level?" and then ask, what is half of that? Just kidding man, valid question indeed, and very interesting about the 51-60, 61-70 same as same as stuff Brudah! Good thread.

You misunderstood me Brudish.



You can script an entire fight sequence to gain AA's while you're at work, sleeping, etc.



I was talking about a level 70 powerleveling a level 51 toon in fungus grove, and that once you hit level 62 or so, any mobs that would give you decent experience now con light blue to the 70.

If you group with someone that the mob you kill cons green to them, but is worth exp to you, you will get 100% of the exp from the kill. It's an easy way to PL without the worry of an accidental KS from an "outside the group helper".

Hope that clarifies. Now go pick on Rantanman some more you prude!

EditNotes: Corrected Brudman's name (sorry mate, old habit from hanging out with Hawaii'ans always callin each other "Brudda". guess I should stick to being the funky white boy I am and call people things like Komzurnator, and Grooglemeister!EditNotes

Well, in my ever so humble opinion, I would put the mid way point at about 56 or 57.

Beelze on Tribunal

No doubt. F'uck levels 56-59. Worst levels in the entire game for all my characters that have made it that high (a whopping two).

My usual group recently worked hard on leveling my wife's enchanter.

The rest of us were level 70. She started grouping with us at 46. We fought a lot in NC and eventually moved to RCOD once she was high enough.

We found that she leveled quickly from 46 to level 51.

From level 51 to 58 she really slowed down on leveling.

At 59, the level difference seemed to disappear and she went from 59 to 63 in about 16 hours of game time.

Now she is at 66, and enjoying that hell level.

Going back to the OP question, my guess would be somewhere between 58-60 is the halfway point.

Just wondering from an outsider's perspective --

How many hours/days of playtime does it take the average player to reach L70?

I'm a pretty Casual player, for me it was 25 days to 70 (+GM jeweler and 150+ all other tradseskills)
