Considering 24-25 in chaos takes 3-4 games usually in p8, let's say the games are slow... 5-6+ minutes each... That's somewhere around 20-25ish minutes...

Maybe farming p8 tombs tz can get you more than 1.4mil in 25ish mins, but I haven't tested and I personally just do it the old school method and save my ancients until I'm 98.

regardless, level 99 grind is a fringe case compared to most people power levelling to 80, or 89 or 94

I've known for years the classic way of leveling has been.

1-15 trist runs
15-20 tomb runs
20-25 cow runs

then chaos to 60+ --> baal or tzchaos/tz baal.

For the last few years I've just been going straight into hell chaos @ lvl 1, takes a few games but over all it felt around the same amount of time it takes to level the classic way to 25.

My question is, is it more beneficial from lvl 1 to just level in norm/nm chaos games until 25, or are there any other strategies I'm unaware of that save time?

wat? 1-25 in chaos takes a fraction of the time as 1-25 in normal

Yeah, I guess. Nowadays 99 isn't a ridiculous ask even for dad gamers because the leveling methods that exist are ridiculous.

1-15 itself takes a little over an hour and with an hour in chaos you can by lvl 20/21 already. Yeah, idk why ppl still feel like that antiquated method is still any good...maybe if you're poor and can't get a crush or grush the trist tombs method is better?

Let me clarify I meant 1-25 in norm chaos or nm chaos vs hell chaos.

I not sure why but I know you don't get levels in hell if you're lvl 1. You get some xp in hell chaos until 25 then it explode. I guess my main question is, is leeching norm/nm chaos more benefitial then hell chaos pre level 25.

Most of the trist games have like 2-3 ppl in them max. Nobody does this shit method. And yes an hour was an exaggerating but it's still not even close to as fast as chaos.

You can cow chant for 20-25 in 1-1.5 games, but honestly the 3-4 chaos games it takes is quicker.

???? What are you talking about, man? The only time the leveling slows down is from 20-25... And it's still faster than leveling any other way. You get a shit ton of experience in hell at level 1.

Hmm so the consensus is still just to hell chaos it gotcha, just seeing if theres any route thats a bit faster.
