The quest for level 99- progress thread

jjscud said:
Lunch Break: 1 hour
Exp needed for lvl 93: 22 million
My calculations for exp/hour pindling at p8: 22million / hour
Actual time left to run to the bathroom and get a drink: 1 minute
Just dont pick up any items and dont waste time standing around. saving 5 seconds a run over an hour will give you enough time for a relaxing drink at the end, maybe even time to post here...
 
Question for everyone: How much XP does Pindle and company grant on /players 8 at lvls 90 and beyond? RIght now he gives just over 800k at clvl 89.

If it is enough, i.e. you can get more than what Baal and minions would get you in the same amount of time, why not run Pindle?

crg
 
Well my qualified guess would be between 200 and 300 pindleruns.
On level 87 you need 78 runs and on level 88 you need 114. So on level 90 you will probably need 200-300 maybe some more on level 90.

On level 94 you need 2383 pindleruns to get to level 95.

At lvl 90 I was getting about 500k at p8
lvl 91 330k
lvl 92 270k

For me it was definately faster up till 91. I've dome some of both to reach 93 (so all through lvl 92) and it seemed to be about even as far as time vs exp goes. It

It would be nice to get a chart made of the experience for runs and different lvls. Especially if we could get it per run and not per time so that people can decide what to run based on how fast they do different runs.

I do the throne room and the first two minion waves on p1 then the other minions and Baal at players 8. One run is about 210.000 exp of which 70.000 is from Baal IRC, so about 1/3 of the experience is from Baal. At level 98 I think at least half your exp is from Baal.

When you guys make reference to p1-p8, is that on the realms, or SP? I don't get a whole lot of time to play, so my progress is really slow. I'm working my way through A1 Hell. Any suggestionss to help with the XP in SP?

/players1-8 is only available in SP. As for XP help, move the players settings up a notch, or run areas like the pit (in the tamoe highland, after the black marsh) where XP is respectable for a while.

Other than that, just keep killing stuff. When I tele through entire acts, I normally only stop and take time to kill boss packs, as they grant the most XP.

I have a question for tweety and Grogs. Do you kill Baal himself at p8? I heard that most of the XP would come from Baal once you got to level 95, but that turned out to be wrong (at least in SP). I'm seriously concerned about this matter, because my brave hero doesn't kill him fast at all at p8. So if that’s what you need to do later I have to consider building a new character.
relative to your total experience gain the minions contribution really decreases after 95 - Basicall if you've ever looked at the exp gained by a character you'll see that as you get more than 5 levels above the monster you're killing you get significantly less exp (down to 1 exp if you were to travel back to normal).

Tweety gets 210,000 - I get 260,000 as I clear the throne and kill all waves at /p 8 (13,000 for colonzo, ~30,000 for Alchmel) Baal gives around 70,000 exp. As tweety has said at lvl 98 you'll get around 100,000 exp per run, with over half of that coming from Baal (remember is Lister is mlvl 92, so at clvl 98 your more than 5 lvls higher than him)

I've calculated 1010 runs at /p8 from lvl 97 - 98, if you take Baal out of the equation then you would be looking at around 1382 minion runs. At lvl 98 it's ~2900 Baal runs, minions only would be in the order of 7250 runs.

The short story is that you need to be able to kill Baal at a higher player setting. If you using a paladin this is very achievable, smite + Fanat + CB + decrip from RT - you'll be amazed at how fast this is......

Sorry crg, I'm not new to playing Diablo, but I am new to this strategy side of it. How would I go about changing the player settings in SP? I am currently Jail level 1, should I finish out act 1, then go back to the pits?
 
type /players x into the chat thingy. x = 1 through 8
simulates that number of players in game. so monsters xp and hp increases and no drop chances decrease and what not.


its worth doing the pit now if you have the jail WP. good xp up into the high 80's AFAIK

At lvl 94 a /p8 Baal run would give you ~ 1.9 million exp. Thats somewhere in the order of 120 runs to 95. So around 10 hours of Baal running (5 minute runs).

If what DX says is true that it'd be 2380 pindle runs (take an average of 30 seconds), it would take you almost 20 hours.....

Baal wins.....

Nice even number, if not much of a gain. Mostly ran countess looking for runes for a gloom armor and an um for my merc's Guardian Angel. No such luck, My last drop from countess was Arrows, El Rune, Key, Emerald. Oh well, I guess I won't complain as I found an Ohm on my way down there.

Got my necro to lvl 92. I think I let him rest now for a while so I can concentrate more on MFO held at the "other place"
