Playtest: 48 Hours Played = 50k Item Level

fritz

I needed another account for the typical alt tasks and since I have little to do on the mains atm (not really feeling the new trial since it's boring and recycled), I figured I could level one character above level 15 and see how much time you need to unlock all content (minus current endgame trials and dungeons).

I've almost played 48 hours on the character (a wizard) and am at 50k item level, meaning as of right now everything is unlocked. RC, campaigns, etc. Minus Menzo but you can enter at any item level atm. Maybe I'll continue to get to 55k and see how long that takes. I'm technically sitting at 47k, but I could afford a Legendary Weapon Enchant to boost myself above 50k (waiting for the new ones next week though...).

Think this is very reasonable. Honestly thought it would take a bit longer. I did spend $10 to get the VIP Signpost because I can't live without it lol. Otherwise the account is fully free-2-play. I also didn't get anything substantial from the VIP keys so far that would boost the progression based on luck. I just completed campaigns, did randoms (no RADQ), and some dragons etc. Also joined a level 20 guild ofc. I sit on 1kk RADs and have 2.5M ADs in the bank, mostly from selling new enchantments from the new campaign.

I think that's very encouraging for newer players.

Is that character equipped with main character's paid mythic enchantment, paid mounts, etc.
Not possible to attend this level in a few days.

More like 2 weeks; its also shorter than average beginer would spend, becasue "know how" its alrd there.
@fritz#8093
Thats interesting measurement; care to give details on gear progression (mostly armor pieces) ??

Here's the character. And not to get confused: I didn't play for 2 days, but 48 hours in the span of two weeks (since weekend before Menzo). It's what you get when you type "/played" in the game. It says "2 days, 4 hours, 52 minutes, 6 seconds."

I primarily played Menzo (200 Rep) because new Enchants are a major money maker, especially for new players. Started Sharandar (100 Rep) and Dragonbone Vale (600 Rep) as well. I completed all adventures minus EE Spinward Rise and the last quest of Maze Engine. I didn't do any Legacy Campaigns outside Dread Ring because you want to wait for a double event. Think I did the intro of SKT because it's the next x2 on the calendar.

ty again, and good luck with this toon

It sounds good (for soloing maybe), until those type of ilvl stacked characters without the stats to match start RQ'ing at 25k+ and "can" compromise the success of the group/incline the group to carry them.
