Curious about leveling speed

[aerialrave]

2 things

(1) leveling to 50 and completing the storyline passing Ultima are NOT the same thing
(2) many people "claim" the 2-3 day thing after already having another 50 first. there is a big EXP boost that helps out a lot with this

I personally don't believe it is humanly possible to pass Ultima in 3 days, even with hardcore play sessions of like 18 hours per day.
Took me about 5-6 weeks my first time casually playing, watching all the cutscenes, reading the storyline, and playing around on other classes.

Personally I think it is possible to do in one week if you skip all cutscenes and rush through everything.

It's possible and it's been done.

Back on page one I posted my dates from 1-50 when I 1st started to play, took about 50-60hrs. I'm pretty sure there are people who did it faster. Really not hard to grind to 50 If you have the time. 12-18hrs a day you'll be done in 3-4days faster if you do it smart. Its about knowing what areas to do fates, When to hit up dungeons and doing hunt logs. Even without rested exp you can do it.

Here
1-40 takes 3,608,200exp
41-50 takes 4,125,800exp
I did 41-50 in a day no rested, no armory exp, that's 517k more exp than 1-40. So its not impossible to do 1-50 no bonus in 3 days.

Your post only shows 6 days, and 1 day left out inbetween, as long as no one shows this achievements gotten within 3 or 4 (considering no one is a machine) days, no one did it.

I started this character late on the 19th, which is why I only have 5 achievements on that date, and got my beating the game achievements past midnight of the 23rd, technically the 24th but it was really just the night of the 23rd for me. It was basically 3 1/2 days of grinding. I wasn't even that efficient about it, I just played a lot and did a little DD farm and saved map completions for when I was leveled up.

Not very proud of that level of grind I did but it certainly can be done.

If you go back and read what I posted in parenthesis, Day one I played several jobs, I could have hit the 20 cap in beta the same day, but I choose to level other classes. Early access started at 2am PDT but I was unable to play until I got home from work in the afternoon. I see that you started in april 2014, So you weren't around for the great 90k days of 2.0 launch/early access. Aside from that I did 41-50 in a day which is 500k more exp of 1-40. So it is entirely possible to do 1-50 in 2-3 days with no armory bonus. As I said took me 50-60hrs to do it. I don't see why people find it so hard to believe someone could do this in 2-3 days. There are people with no life you know?

I really don't see the point of this thread. People will level at whatever pace they want to level at. If it takes 3 days, does that really matter? Not unless you are on some kind of deadline. If it is just for curiosities sake, why are you questioning peoples' firsthand accounts so much? It is possible. Leave it at that. I think what you should be asking is how long does it take, in hours played not calendar days, for a fresh character to go from 1 to 50 if you actually want valuable information.
