Not true. I turned in 118 collections at the same time once, virtually every non-book collection in game through KoS (before EoF) and that shot me from level 22 to 42. It was my goal to skip T3 and T4 entirely on that toon lol. And it was funny as hell in guild chat with all the ding messages.

It would be dumb to waste collection quests before level 10 IMO, because you can level to ten in a half hour or less normally, and then you'd get AA exp after 10 also.

But if you turned in all collection quests in game, including EoF but not including ROK, I estimate that could get you from level 10 to between level 44 and 45. This amount of collection quests would be 300 p plus on most servers atm, if you did all including the rare ones.

I have no clue how much the ROK collection quests would add, because I don't know how many of those are available, I haven't done any of them.

Yea, I forgot the lvl 10 rule (which I did follow for AA). However I believe I took my Illy from 10 to near 40+ with 65-70? collections, excluding a fair amount of KoS/EoF high lvl collections when their rares were still 5-15pp each.

I probably assumed too much when posting the numbers, but I'm still fairly certain you can get from 10 to 50+ if you buy them all now. I'm also wondering if it would be better to reach lvl 11 and mentor a lvl 10. Think it would boost and XP during that 1 second orgy of quest turn-in?

I don't think mentor bonus xp has ever factored into quest/collection xp recieved, but I could be completely wrong.

Collection xp has been nerfed over time, as has discovery xp in high level zones. The point is, with a veteran reward, there's no reason that it doesn't include an item that doesn't cost you thousands of plat to have a toon 50/75 with all skills maxed out of your choice. T3 and T4 are just HORRIBLY boring. It would work, and I know for a fact that it would keep me more than interested in EQ2.

1 big problem is new players. If no one is rolling alts from scratch anymore and starting at 50 instead, EQ2 would lose a lot of new subscriptions. It may be boring for you now, but imagine how boring it would be if there was virtually no one around for 5 tiers.

Maybe a compromise "big brother" type system.

I sign up to help a noob out and hold their hand through a few tiers. Once they ding let's say 20, I get a "reward" of being able to buff a toon to 70/100. The game gets real live help to promote the game and keep subscribers and I get a real reward for doing it.

70/100 would be a bit much but i agree a buddy problem wouldnt be bad

Then I get all my friends to roll new toons get them to 20 in like 10 mins and start buffing up random alts...ya..thats seems like a fair trade off for 10 mins of time.

Laodaron

It takes a solid 6 hours to level to 20 following general leveling methods.

I'm saying again, that those of us who have been in EQ2 for so long deserve to not have to go through the horrid leveling that is T3 and T4. 50/50 is a happy compromise, and there's no reason that it can't be done.

As of this week, lv 20-40 took me around 4 days (80% of that was casual soloing). They just modified the xp curve in the lower tiers, so gaining levels is ridiculously quick. If you really grinded, it would probably take you 2 days or less. No need to implement an easy button.
