TR a Legend in 7 Days..what?!

[pleistocene]

So I was just running elite PC at level and one of the people wrote in his bio..

1st life Wiz/rog

2nd life wiz pm

3rd life sorc

4th life fvs

5th life sorc

6th life wiz am

7th life fvs tr'd in 7 days

How can someone tr in 7 days from lv 1-20?? i just find that incomprehensible..
I mean..sure he probably has accumulated a lot of gear to tr in a short amount of time but it possible for somebody on their 2nd life or 3rd life to tr to the next life in just 7 days, and when means 7 days, i dont think he means in terms of game hours.

If this is possible could someone post which quests to do and what order to do them in and how many times to do the certain quest?

Thanks!

Also, I've seen posts where people have TR'd even faster than that.

It's totally doable, especially now that the tomes of learning are around. It takes some dedication and the ability to put in numerous hours daily, but it can be done. If you get a good group of players that run together for the xp, that helps a lot. You really don't have to repeat all that many quests either. Hit pretty much anything on elite that is remotely worth it and farm some of the high xp quests like von3, shadowcrypt, running with the devils, etc. The people completing legend TR's in 7 days are not casual players. They are likely putting in full days on weekends and 5 hours a night at minimum, probably more.

There was a duo that TRed WF casters in roughly 4 days.

There was also a duo-team that did it in a weekend, during XP bonus nonetheless, but yea.

Nowadays you can average 1,5k xp/min counting all the downtime of running from one Q to another so the 4268k needed to level a TR2+ equals to 2845 minutes (47 hours) after that it boils down to your free time .
My estimate of 1,5k/mini s based on my personal experience and so is surely possible to do way better thus further decreasing total time needed.

FvS can do that easy. Any groups looking for heals they can join or they can zerg hard and solo it themselves. The class is in high demand so getting a group is very easy.

Fastest I've heard is a duo doing it in 2 days before tomes and bravery bonus. They didn't sleep much from what I've read but they got it done in 2 days. I checked out the quests they did, there is a list, and it takes a bit of prep work for openers to skip the stuff that doesn't yield high XP per minute.

As far as I know, it doesn't do much good to TR in less than a week because the hearts have a week cool down, even the true hearts. I haven't verified that timer myself but that is what I've heard.

Man...that's insane.

[DefunctEquation]

Theoretically, a triple-completionist could do it in around 9 moths. But that means you have no life, and money to burn.

Man...that's insane.

I mean..sure I want to finish a legend life fast but...2 days?!!! That's just too much for, perhaps because I'm human.

On my monk..who is already capped on it's 3rd life, it took me..I want to say.. 3.5-4 months for me to cap, going at my own pace. I don't know if thats a long time for others but this was my first experience doing a legend life. My sorc is now capped on its 2nd life and ready to TR I want to TR it back to a wizard which it was on its first life to be a PM again, and I want to complete this life maybe a tad fast than what I did so on my monk.

Ohh..just a fyi, on my monk I did not use any XP pots I had access to a +3% xp shrine and had my mantle of worldshaper on at all times. Also when I TR I don't plan on using any xp tomes or pots as well.

Thanks!

3-4 months is about normal when tring casually without a dedicated group and a plan.

If you want to go quickly, a little planning goes a long way. An exact list of which quests on which difficulty and the number of times each will be run helps avoid time-consuming decision making. A good group allows people to split up; one or two actually run the quest, the rest are on optionals. Above all, detailed knowledge of each quest run will really speed things up.

Joining a dedicated TR guild helps speed that up immensely, as they provide the quest list and the manpower to tear through high xp quests on elite.

I have recently joined a guild that is focused on end game content and TR'ing but so far they are already around the lv 15-17 mark, so im just waiting I guess until the next time they tr or something. But thank you for telling me that 3-4 months was normal lol, I indeed had no plan, but I did however solo most of the quests by myself on my monk on the beginning of its 3rd life up to lv 7 then I just started pugging what ever was available, etc

Before the exp tomes and bravery bonuses, my group use to regularly tr in under 72hrs of total gameplay using 10% exp pots. That's counting time between quests. We'd spread that over two weeks or so, though with today's bonuses, 30% exp pots, and a team that sleeps in shifts and pikes the others accounts I could see someone tring in under two days of real time. That kind of dedication is far beyond my desires though. I expect my current tr to take until end of may.

Oh its totally doable, I just knocked out my last 2 lives in 5 days a piece relatively painlessly. The catch is this- the amount of time it takes you to complete a quest is one thing, the amount of time you spend in between quests is usually what kills the time.

I like to do quests that are quick to get to- less running around in explorer areas, something as simple as doing the big 3 first before doing the walkups in gianthold saves you loads of time with the teleports.

Also, if you're preoccupied with looting every chest your tr time will suffer. Even running to get the quests is something I avoid, I usually load up a second account where I have characters that have every quest bestowed onto them so I can just share the quests with myself to avoid running to a quest giver.

Phiarlan pendants of time are a great traveling item to have as well as enough UMD to have some % chance to kick off a teleport scroll, the mask is nice to have too.

Some people underestimate the impact of lowering the amount of time you spend in between quests on your overall time to get from 1 to 20.

Also, many people seem to live out in korthos til level 3 or whatever. It is completely unnecessary since running a few harbor quests will more than makeup for whatever xp you are looking to get out of korthos- it is a waste of time to go beyond the 4 quests on elite. I don't even step out into the wilderness anymore.

Another thing that catapults people to 20 are the challenges. If you have a solid group of players with you and can 5 star some of the challenges, you can hit 18-20 relatively painlessly.

But thank you for telling me that 3-4 months was normal

Keywords "casual" and "no dedicated group". I think I've spent 3-4 months with my current Legend but that's partially because I take a lot of breaks to post on the forums in between, and sometimes even during, quests. Groups have been pretty sparse lately so I've had to solo most of the way. So I wouldn't really consider 3-4 months to be normal.

For walkups, you could just abandon them, run a bit away, then re walk-up to get it bestowed again.

Similarly with window farming, if you want to change difficulty (or have an unfortunate incident and miss the window), just have one person abandon the quest then have someone else share it. You can only do this if the quest is shareable though.

I was referring to the actual RUN to the quest, not the nuances of farming. Althogh yes, if you have the desire to farm a quest re-sharing it works. I however just prefer to have a character in party with the quest already bestowed so you don't need to take that extra 5 seconds out to abandon and re-share. Rather minute details, but they begin to have an impact once practiced throughout the course of an entire TR; for me anyway.

I do wish that we had an auto-reset feature in case someone DOES accidentally click the wrong difficulty setting. It is frustrating to have to wait 5 minutes or disband the party especially if it is a quest that required a run to get to.

What's "normal" is playing at your own pace and having fun. Folks still remember what "fun" is, right?

...a team that sleeps in shifts and pikes the others accounts... .

That is beyond dedication. Just so long as they remember to take bathroom breaks in the bathroom, it may not get to the point where the health inspectors have to take an interest...

At that point you're no longer a completionist, you're a Lich.
