Abathur Level to 50 Challenge Time Played: 9 hr

Details:

I leveled from 1-20 in roughly an hour off xp rooms and easy solo quests with no fighting required. I grabbed the occasional word in concert with xp rooms while leveling as well. At approximately 20 I took roughly 1-2 hours getting all of the basic words, sidhe friendship, base stats for words, +10 stat quest, and the +10 spirit quest. At this time I was roughly level 23 and began getting a few basic items such as the statues of vishnu for mana reduction. Leveled in Ur for a few levels until 25. Found a meteorite and did the Rudh quest. Managed to get to 100 mind at roughly the same time with all base word stats. At this time I quit worrying about any type of gear and just began killing ur (mostly for the jewelry turn ins) and any 1 shotable meteor mobs. Turned in all jewelry at level 33 or 34 as it is unusable after 35. Continued to log in, use the meditate shrine in japan often, and xp with 1 shotable meteor mobs until 50.

Strategy and Thoughts[edit]

While 3c cause is incredibly powerful with its burst damage, its not a ton of fun. I think playing a rogue or fighter of some type would likely be more entertaining, but also more equipment would be required and healing would be far more of a chore. With this setup I rarely had to heal HP and the meditate pavilion made a huge difference to regen.

Ultimately I chose 3c cause because the gear requirements are just so much lower while still having incredibly killing potential. If I could make changes, it would be to make leveling as a fighter less tedious and also to add more mobs for the 35-50 range that are worth killing. I will say upfront that I am not an expert at the game, so my knowledge may be lacking, but I do not know of many good mobs for that 35-50 range. What ends up always happening for me is sometime in the high 30's transitioning to fighting level 50+ mobs like Said, ticket seller, etc. Usually the "easiest" high level mobs you can find with the highest xp rewards. On a mage this is fairly easy and trivial as their damage isn't affected by the mob level, but as a fighter type the mobs are much, much harder to kill when they are 10 or 15 levels higher than you.

Overall I had a blast with the challenge and I'd like to thank anyone and everyone who was involved in setting it up. I hope it gives the imms the data they are interested in and allows you to make the game a better place on the whole.
