Well this is not what people would call a true WT.
Basically finding out what levels are reached without re-running areas "Players set to 8"

There is only 1 goal in mind:
"Kill all monsters in all areas upto quests only once, this means no mf'ing [no need]"


From level 1 to 5, I used base start gear throwing javalins for faster killspeed.
Since Blood Moor was cleared and I was level 5, I equipped:
... Arctic Set / Hsarus Boots & 1 max damage rings / Ammy (used +3 Str / Dex charms to wield set)

Used that setup until I got to level 20 before I changed setup:
... Rogues Bow / Twitchroe / Arctic Belt / Cathans Rings (2) & Ammy / Sanders Boots / Sigon Gloves & Helm
... nice having 100% IAS with 26% LL (@ level 28 I switched bow to Skystrike)

Now... I have just got into Act5 @ level 35, currently wearing:
... Skystrike / Twitchroe / Lore helm / Cleglaws / 5% LL rare ring / 6% ML Manald / Razortail / Sanders Boots / Mahim Oak Ammy

rather time intensive yes?

your levels are looking right about on par with mine.
not sure if you're avoiding exp shrines or not, but I totally abused them :P

It is time consuming... I have used 4 XP shrines in total... but they were way below par for the area and my level.

I reduced size from 800/600 to 650/??? to compensate for the amount of Megabytes people that pay for UL / DL.
I think you just need to w8 until the cache on your PC will clear it up some.

if you group a bunch of monsters then hit the shrine you can get mass exp

That is the key... you would have to NOT kill monsters hoping that you find this XP shrine.
Basically from Act 1 to Act 4, I found 4 XP shrines... but, my Level for that area was too high.
On top of that, since I am only killing things once in an area... I have to hope that there is an XP
shrine... and in most cases in the runs I have done... they did not exist.

Example... in blood moor... i found NO XP shrine, but made it to level 5... if I had 1 or 2... then I would have been level 6,
which is the best level xp gain for doing Den.

yeah, I was blessed with at least one in blood moore

another one or two later in act 1 and a few in act 2 at pivotal points where I could group a bunch of scarabs or unique mobs together then come back for the shrine

either way we both finished act1 at 20 and were only 1 away leaving act3 I think

after normal there is a lot of variability with monsters which spawn, so it's sort of luck of the draw in ways

True... one thing I have noticed... Act 4 and Act 5... you need to be a minimum of level 24 to gain the best
experience (well definately Act 5), but, since I am level 35 in Act 5... I know I want to be level 39 minimum for Baal
reasoning... so that I can use witchwild bow... dang that is so nasty it is funny... and in comparison... witchwild vs harmony.
they are both minimum level 39... but... I think Wwild will do more DPS vs the Harmony... :)

One thing is for sure... Act 5 really does give you the experience gain... yes I had 3 XP shrines doing A5... but dang... from level 35 to 47.
Man... I did not realise my levels and finally, at level 43 put on Witchwild bow... dang... mind you.. this bow fvcking rocks... I can make and
use Harmony... but I just have to love the CTC AMP on WW and I put 2x Shael runes for IAS... woot... 60% total at the moment... got to love that.
