NIN 50: Over/Under

Im putting the Over/under for the first few level 50 ninjas at 72hrs.

Post by taking the over or the under.

Im taking the under.

probably not as many as people think, since dungeon running would be pretty much impossible in 1st few days due to the vast majority trying out ninja, so people will rely upon fates. Really hard to say...

make the call, over or under 72hrs ^^

I say less than 72 hours. I can imagine a Dedicated FC group getting ninja's to 50 for their fc members to be world/server first.

Under for sure. I might even take under on 48 hrs lol

NIN 50 in a day, I call it. Under

defo under

There were people that spammed Capr Westwind for 30 hours to get their Nexus after launch. The hype with Ninja is out there. Less than, for sure. FATE/battle leve spam even with long queue times will make it easy.

This. I'm sure some FC will grind it out as fast as possible right after servers are up.

So I second it being done in a day

My guess is probably within 48 hours

Tough call.
If people seriously stay true and grind hard, I'd say under 72 hours.
Assuming people are running with friends, I take in account of
the speed in which each dungeon is done and the amount of times that the dungeons has to be repeated. Dungeons are the best way to amount EXP so I'm sure you'll see tons of people running them.
Some breaks too for eating or restroom...others people a Ninja too, and finding a Healer/Tank to stay with you for a looong time lol.
I personally cannot play this game more than 2-3 hours at a time
before a headache, I've done it the other day for Levi EX runs and got one nasty headache because I was on it for 5 hours...never again.
xDD

Mitigating Factors:

There are going to be an as* load of NINs leveling. Queue times are going to vein insane for DPS. i don't think 100 leve allowance is enough to get you to 50 on its own. I also don't know if enough fates spawn in a 72 hour period to level a character 1-50. Don't forget that you have to do the class quest to get the job crystal, which means you at least have to do the class quests to 30 on rogue. Im not sure if you can level to 50 without doing the job quests (not sure), but that would add time.

Even with all of that said, I STILL think there are going to be ways for people to get around it and get a ninja to 50 under 72hrs. I would love to do it, but I can't take 3 days off of real life at the present time.

ppl who got a healer/tank sorted will fly through it. Simples under a day

can someone confirm whether or not you need to do job quests after thirty to get to level 50. I don't know why I'm thinking you do. I could just be imagining things, haven't leveled in about 6 months.

Under.

Maybe even < 24hrs

Dedicated people will get 3 other friends to run dungeons with and continually kill trash until their eyes bleed.

I've seen some crazy speed runs in other MMOs.

You don't need to do any class quests (beyond the initial unlock) to get a class to 50. You do need to have done all the class quests to get the ability to unlock the job (as well as getting two extra skills to use), and you need to do the job quests to unlock 5 job exclusive skills. But for just getting to level 50 all the quests are completely optional.

I also expect there'll be a 50 NIN within 24 hours of the patch, from someone who has specifically arranged some friends to powerlevel with. A person leveling by himself without specific outside help but with a lot of playtime will probably take 3-4 days.

I won't even bother trying Ninja / Rogue. I'm more into magic Burst DPS, sorry.

Under 72 hours? That's very generous... It's gonna be much lower...

Don't forget that players will prepare long before 2.4, and also don't forget the "20% increased XP gain up to level 20(?) item" from the recruit a friend thing.... Maybe not gonna make a huge difference, but I think it will bring down the time somewhat.

If you are 3 level 50's helping out 1 Ninja (which people will do), then you can do rush through dungeons at an extreme rate, and be 50 in no time at all...

For the more normal player, it's gonna take longer with everyone queuing as Rogue/Ninja though...

EDIT: Sorry.. I'm going with under...

Plus, 50% EXP Increase to FATEs and raw grinding if you already have a level 50 job and beat the story once.

Under 24 hours for sure, unless servers are messed up.

Under as some people will already have pre made dungeon burn parties in place.

Definitely under even if we don't announce it. I already have everything set up to get nin to 50 in about 16 hours if it launches on a Thursday. about 48 if it launches on a Tuesday.

under, some guild will want to be the first one to have the ninja, same for the nexus relic, maybe in less of 1 month hehe

Under for 100% sure, the people who will be getting worlds first have already set up congregations with dozens of people desperate to feel loved (or bots maybe) that will be working non stop to power level. They will have people continuously running them mobs from different directions on the map dropping the party after tagging the mobs, killing down for ninja, ninja collects XP. TBH I expect in under 21 hours we will see worlds first.

Easily under 72 hours. There's a headpiece that will give you extra experience until level 10, Food gives a 3% bonus, Armory gives ~50%, and the Free Company experience gain is 5%. Combine this with the fact that the Armory boost applies to FATEs and I can guarantee you that there will be people who will either be FATE farming or dungeon hopping in a pre-made in order to get their Ninjas to lv50. I would bet that by the time we reach the 72 hour mark we could have Ninjas in full ilevel 100 gear with their 110 Rowena weapon.

Sadly yes...

I never thought I would say this, but I am looking forward to the leveling... To me that's really weird, cause I usually hate leveling, and just want to get to 50... but it's been a while since I leveled up one, and I'm gonna enjoy to figure out the Ninja before it becomes "needed" to play a certain way...

I will try to level the fastest I can, but I would never prepare to the extent some players do, and I would never "power-level" with a static group...

I fear that there will be some huge queues for Rogues/Ninjas though, which would force you to do more Fates, and I don't like Fates... :(

Def. Under. Fate grinding with the zerg/challenge log bonuses/beastman dailies etc. I'd say between 24-48 hours.

Heck, if 2.4 comes out during the right part of October, I'm planning on going to 50 rather quickly. I'm rather interested in the Nin storyline and I have been sitting on the stuff to take relic to it (or another job) to Novus (Animus myth not included) since this summer.

Your signature makes me feel so bad for Yoshi. I will have to hug my dog when I get home to make myself feel better.

There will be a ninja zerg in the FATE zones for about 3 weeks solid, and I would bet a few people hit 50 in under 24 hours

personally gonna aim under 24 hrs myself. Just gotta map a route and prob do a test run.

Less than a day for sure. Under.

under!

1st nin nexus will take less than1week since you can prefarm all atmas,alex,materias, the longest part of it will be the book fate camping.

I tried a new char for fun, with levequest, roulettes challenge log and everything I made it to black mage lvl 35 in about 8 hours of gameplay. And that wasnt with premade equipments, rest bonus and bonus exp hats, and while following story quests

under 24h for sure

i say likely under

Under 24h unless we get the "reserving instance" issues hat happened in the past.

Hmmm. Never knew this. Where and how does one get this? I don't have everything to 50 yet, so I'm assuming this could help a lot.

As afar a the thread, the only way the first level 50 NIN won't happen in less than 48 hours is from maintenance or server downtime.

If someone can grind out the needed light for the new weapons within 48 hours, a level 50 NIN will be a piece of cake.

Under, not even a question. I'm pretty sure I remember people hitting 50 2-3 days after official release, so that was without all the exp bonuses we have now.

A few of my FC are taking off work for the patch, we will have 50 nin's within a day maybe two if our coil statics get in our way. We intend to not stop till it is 50.
