people know that you do trist runs then tombs till 20 then cows to 24, and then ancients, and then baal.
or if u are grushed
then just hell chaos follow the leader
but im wondering how many people, even long time players, actually understand why?
i mean do people know why baal is 25, and not 24 or 26
do they KNOW why trist?
if u dont, or even u think you do, give this a read, if u do feel inclined to rush the ladder this should help u level much faster
i mean cows is simply because of the monster level, but none of the other ones are… and im curious as to how many people know how to level properly…
it i just assumed that they just flat out dont know that monsters that say “minion” give 4x the exp… and baal is 5x minion waves. and because minion have a base level 3 higher than normal monsters
and that the exp formula changes at 25, which is why you get almost no exp in act 5 before 25
because i frequently see people skipping rankitsu and his minions at the stone portals, or skipping killing baal, because they dont realize his level is 99 and therefore wont give reduced exp becuase “his level is lower” like all the lvl 88 minions will do when trying to level above lvl 85
and lastly, if u have someone high level rushing you for exp through tombs or cows, or even norm or nm baals
ALWAYS make sure they are as close to your level as possible
exp in a party is divided based on your level BEFORE reductions apply,
your portion of exp = your level/ sum of every players lvl
having a high level takes away the exp u get as they get more of it
( this is done before any reductions apply)
take a good read of
http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/basics/experience.shtml
i covered the basics that u can control, but there are some more in-depth party exp related stuff that may shed some light as to how to gain levels as fast as possible
PS: seroiusly blizzard i cant include links STILL? evern though i could before d2:r launched.
