Time required for AI30 since LE

Ok, we all know the AI1-30 grind is insane. LE improved it some. So I wanted to see what a realistic amount of time to get AI30 was.

Assumes that you have a 4+ person team, with some 220s, including at least 2 "DD" classes.

... Avg AXP: 200K/hour (counts interruptions)
... Max AXP: 400K/hour

NOTE: Using Avg here just for safety ... so if you were able to pull off a Max AXP situation ... where there were no delays, AFKs, and everyone had good damage ... you could cut this in half or close. And I think that with 5 DD classes + a low roller you could get a bit more than 400K/hour but not sustainably for the hours needed.

AXP for AI1-10: 1072500 ... 5.5 hours
AXP for AI11-23: 17331208 ... 86 hours
AXP for AI24-30: 32678082 ... 163 hours

TOTAL:
AXP for AI1-30: 51081790 ... 255 hours

Summary: Full Time Work week: 40 hours ... 6.5 work weeks of AXP for AI30. Only 1/3rd of that time to get to AI23. Almost no time to get to AI10.

PS. I picked AI23, not 20, as a break point since that lets you self your AI3 armor while keeping 2 lines fully trained.

Hyde stop making me depressed

I want AI30 but I don't want to grind!

Giev!

And, PLEASE don't calculate the time to get from 203 to 220 please because I'll go nuts.

203 to 220, pfft that's nothing!!! You should have tried to lvl past 200 before sl mish. Back when you had to do vayna and mord raids to get faction, and kite spirits, kill inf hecks and tigs. Those where the days. I'm not complaining, i like to lvl fast now. But the AXP grind is far worse than the sk grind.

I was gonna post a link showing the breakdown for sk, but it was pre mish reward, i'll look for another.

Agreed ... 200-220 is minor nowadays. Between LE70 and AI30, 220 is just a stepping stone.

Pff still too hard for me

I can't seem to focus on levelling, only on twinking/alting/pvping/org-stuff-ing..

Try to lvl a froob to 200, thats equal fun too

.
Thats the reason I even dont really try to lvl cutiecub, but I want to get tot lvl 159 so i can team all and get xp too.
Only way to get decent xp is to do team miss, and any idea where all lvl 150 + players are (not on rubi ka thats for sure)
froob xp is depressing, trying to power lvl my low advy alt and pfff takes ages to get to 60, even with killing dark orange/red mobs.

Specially when I see how fast and easy it was to get my locked keeper to lvl 9x .

Some peeps in AP are high lvl froobs so grats for those, they have very much playtime or are uber concentrated and motivated or dont have a life

When I was level 217 with my fixer, Mytefe was 198 or 199 and had three times my playtime
