I know I'll have to raise dexterity, but for now Bone shatter is fine for hunting. Other than popping dex up higher, what else do I need to change?

[Celephais]

Please tell me this was a holdover from GS3 character...

Week and a half left ~ 10 days. So in 20 days you got 738,466 exp? You're on track to cap in less than 7 months.

[landy]

Not a hold over, just a well worn routine for me at this point.

[Celephais]

Not a hold over, just a well worn routine for me at this point.
So you're scripting 24/7?

[landy]

Not quite, but when I have the time.

[Celephais]

Not quite, but when I have the time.
You're averaging about 37k a day (if that 20 day number is right). XXX gives you a "free 9 hours", w/ about 3 weeks under your belt, and 30 exp a minute (which is quite good to average), you would have needed to play for 24,075 minutes (after subtracting XXX), or about 400 hours, over 20 days = 20 hours a day.

I applaud the effort and look forward to hearing how much exp you got by the end of the 30 days.

[SolitareConfinement]

wow...25 levels in 20 days jesus titty fucking christ

[landy]

Generally 1-10 takes 2-3 days hunting rats, fletching from 10-13 is another two days, greater burrow orcs from 13-14 or 15 is another day or two, grey orcs from 14-18ish is about a week. From there depending on the character type it's easiest to take on fire guardians or nedum vereri til 24. Then zombies.

[SolitareConfinement]

still, 25 levels in 20 days is a LOT of gemstone yo...

[Celephais]

Generally 1-10 takes 2-3 days hunting rats,
115k exp, 63 hours @ 30 exp a minute.

fletching from 10-13 is another two days,
52k exp, 29 hours.

greater burrow orcs from 13-14 or 15 is another day or two
32.5k, 18 hours

grey orcs from 14-18ish is about a week.
152k, 84 hours.

From there depending on the character type it's easiest to take on fire guardians or nedum vereri til 24. Then zombies.
288k, 160 hours.

I never said it wasn't doable, I'm just calling you out on afk scripting it. Anyway I'm interested in how far you get, had always wondered how far someone could really get in the 30 days if they dedicated themselves to 24/7 scripting it.

[landy]

I'll let you know. My best guess is going to be 27-28. 25 has been going hellishly slow

[yesicj]

Just a suggestion: on the off chance that a GM happens to stumble across this thread and wants to get on your nuts, you might want to edit the name out of the first post.

[Monsoon]

So what happens in ten days? You aren't subscribing to continue? All your effort and non-effort go to waste?

[RichardCranium]

Not a 30 day free trial, noob.

[Monsoon]

Whoops.

It's late. Yeah.

[landy]

Exp: 24471 [29,48/min, 1769,02/hr, 5 hours, 24 minutes, 18 seconds to next]

He only has 7 days of play time left on the free trial, so I'm thinking another 212k exp if he runs for a very generous estimate of 20 hours a day (usually doesn't get that much time)

Level: 25 Deeds: 1
Experience: 772002 Death's Sting: None
Exp. until next: 9498 Recent Deaths: 1
Mental TPs: 0 Fame: 1950209
Physical TPs: 106 Mana: 16/103 max
(620 Phy converted to Mnt)

So where does that leave him at the trial period end? 28?

[Celephais]

At the rate you've been going (be it 20 hours or whatever you're averaging), in 7 days you'd be at 918,056 exp, which would leave you at 40k short of 29. (http://www.play.net/gs4/info/exp_chart_v3.asp)

So yeah, level 28 in 30 days. On track to cap at day 247.

[SolitareConfinement]

So yeah, level 28 in 30 days. On track to cap at day 247.

in theory assuming a GM doesn't stumble onto his scripting or someone doesn't report it...right?

and to think, it took me better part of 9 years

[landy]

The kind of optimal conditions it takes to maintain the experience per hour that has gotten him this far are much harder to reproduce past level 25. That and the fact that I tend not to script past that point anyway.

[Celephais]

Didn't expect you to do it, was just throwing out the numbers for the absurdity of it.

[DoctorUnne]

With the AG you can pull 2500 exp an hour by doing bounties over and over again and turning them in at fried assuming you can forage and have a gem mule. I've done it for stretches of several hours at a time. Of course that requires you to NOT be scripting and to be doing shit constantly, which makes it hellish to do over long periods of time, but 30 exp a minute is not the limit for someone who really wants to grind.

[IorakeWarhammer]

why not just buy a level 30 char for what, 50 dollars? go out and weed someone's garden for the afternoon and save yourself the ruined eyesight, back pain, waste of a month of life?! rofl

[landy]

I think that's the point we were making. This is being done entirely by script. No one likes the first levels of the game. Why not press fast forward?

[Celephais]

Actually I had the most fun in GS I ever had in the first few levels of the game. Once I started knowing what I was doing and seeing the grind those levels sucked.

[landy]

Heh, well you're talking about when you first started playing. I think that may have been the best time for me as well. Scripts weren't even a distant thought for me at that point, but then neither was internet without a dial tone.

[Stretch]

Dude, script forging, they never check that shit.

2000+ ranks and I never got busted.

[landy]

Hit 28 earlier today, so it looks like it will make it to at least 29
