What do you mean? It's almost been a full day since the servers came back up.

Easily enough time to reach the new cap.

Did You Know?

In the video game Phantasy Star Online 2, your character gains "Experience Points" by defeating enemies and completing tasks given to you by various NPCs. Upon gaining enough "Experience Points," your character will "Level Up" and grow stronger!

A combination of factors here:

1. The new area has level 55 enemies, with correspondingly increased XP rewards.
2. He had PLENTY of time to gather a truckload of +75% XP tickets, which, combined with the above, means his XP gain gets a dramatic increase.
3. He's probably been playing non-stop since maintenance ended.

I saw someone at 57 not even an hour after the servers came up

Some people NEET like a motherfucker. It's not a race, though. It'll probably take me a good month to hit 60 once. I was still trying to get HU to 55 when they raised the cap, lol.

my RA is still 52
I'll probably rush gunner to 60 when I get free time then take it slow with RA

this is more then likely the case, I for one have been saving my exp tickets for this update.

Eh, it's not particularly difficult. The clones you encounter in AQs drop copious amounts of crystals, which can be turned into Exp +75% tickets. Use those during AQs, and the exp will roll in, especially now that 56+ characters wouldn't suffer an exp penalty for killing Lv 60 boosteds. So that guy at 59 has definitely been putting in the midnight oil, but it's not a superhuman effort.

Don't forget that u also can get almost full lvl before cap is unlocked if u don't reach your excube by few exp points, which is extra 1,2kk exp.

If you're determined, of course you can pull it off.

So what is the exp penalty now? A lv43 in my VH Falz run got less exp than me (55).

I'm not sure if the exp correction went live or not. But either way, level 56+s aren't going to suffer from the penalty since even under the old rules, they'd be in the clear.

I actually did exactly this. Logged in with my Gu/Ra and was only 50k from leveling.

lvl 56 inside of 10 minutes.

Stack 20 VH 1-99 delivery orders. Especially ones that ask for quest reruns.

Do them all, but don't hand them in.

Reach level 55 with as little exp tnl as possible.

Wait for it...

Edit: Assume each delivery order gives 1.5k exp (probably more than this, but I don't want to set the expectations too high)

1.5k x 99 x 20 = 2,970,000

Assume you need 1.2m average for one level, if you grind 55 -> 56, then you have enough for 2.5 levels. Assume the rest of the time was spent grinding, hitting 59 is definitely within possibility.

Oh DAMN, I completely forgot about the new patch!

Hngh... my RA's still only 49, too.

AQs are the way to go

If you have no one to run AQs (or no caps) with then find MPAs. Before the update, it was the ruins. Now it appears to be the Dragon Altar. For those, go to very hard blocks. I think is like 9-13 or something.

VH boss/quest run DOs are insane if you manage to stack them to 99 (167k for the zesh at 99, same for quests). getting to 59 is maybe 6mill max from lv55 (assuming you left lv55 with about, 10exp tillnext cube before downtime).

Assuming you had a fair chunk of those to hand-in, you could hit 58 within seconds of the server coming up. With constant high-risk AQ's and 75% exp tickets the rest could be done in a day or two, i imagine

probably already said but yeah...

stacking completed client orders(especially dailes, and premium can hold 40 COs), AQs, new area good exp, and 75% exp boosters I think you can BUY exp boosters that give even MORE.

The major benefit I can see for leveling though, is the skill tree. Otherwise the level cap isn't going anywhere for a while...

Maybe summer tops.

You can also buy 10 100% exp tickets for 1600 AC or so, 2x as much EXP for 30 mins does the trick, count in EM's, Crossbursts etc.
