Overall Class Question

[AliceKaye]

I'd like to hit 30 as fast as I can to try to get this mount before Monday. I don't know anyone in game, in order to PL me, so this is all on my ability to solo my butt off.

What would be the most efficient class to get to 30 quickly?

[Rau]

leves?
perhaps grinding.

ARC is pretty slow at low levels. I suggest doing LNC or maybe THM.

[Aion]

cnj/thm/pugilist...I think those are the fastest class to level

mrd is fast as hell. high dps, and good defense, you have nearly no down time and keep slashing. once you get pug's 2nd wind you're unstopable. pug is damned good too though.

Haven't tried a MRD. PUG is the only class I really have any experience with. I'll definitely check out MRD, then.

Can THM still kill multiple mobs, easily, at once? I remember a friend of mine just rounding mobs up and mowing them down.

Good luck! Have you tried shouting in Ul'dah for help? There may be other people in the same situation, and there may be higher level players who would be glad to help PL you since this is now rather urgent.

At lower levels this is a bit more difficult, but possible if the monsters are not very strong.

But the danger is that your HP is fairly low as a mage, and there is a chance that your casting could be interrupted if there are too many monsters hitting you -- meaning that you won't be able to get any attack spells off.

To do this, Stoneskin and Sanguine Rite are very helpful, but you don't get those until L26 Conjurer and L30 Thaumaturge (both will prevent casting interruption while active), so that doesn't help you very much.

Hi Mikita,

Yeah that doesn't sound like it's the best idea then.

I would ask in Ul'Dah but chances are people will want money or something for their time and I lack that too, lol. But I guess it's worth a shot!

It's definitely worth a try. Not everyone will want something in return.
I think there are many people who would just be happy to help in this situation.

Good luck!
