Are you sure you calculated times for 99 correctly?

CS Runs (seal bosses + Dia) needed for 90-99:
P1: 199408 runs
P8: 44205 runs

If you play 12 hours a day, 3 min per runs, you will need 185 days

Just for last two level, 98 and 99, you need 30151 runs

Okay, look. I'll be running CS runs, 1 player, and Diablo kills 8 players. I'll have about 100 runs a day, and they won't last 3 minutes, but a little longer. I'm not entirely sure, are you implying that I've calculated too much time or too little?

Not implying anything. Just making sure you understand the scope and scale of something like reaching 99 in Classic

Fun thread, I love such challenges. You didn't ask, but here is an alternative route that will be much safer and much slower.

Killing Hell Andariel all the way to level 99.

At level 98, Andariel yields 64 XP (out of her original 215794 XP). You would need to kill her 4547790 times to get the 291058498 XP required to go from 98 to 99.

If you can kill her twice per minute with tele sorc for 8 hours a day (like a normal job), then you can go from level 98 to 99 in a little under 13 years easily.

At level 97, Andariel yields a whopping 85 XP, which turns into 9 years of grinding from 97 to 98. I.e. you need 22 years to get from 97 to 99 this way.

If you a worried about teleporting into dangerous Hell monsters (should be no issue in the high 90s) though, then you can also go ultra safe and just farm Nightmare Andariel.
Unfortunately she only gives 16 XP at level 98, so you will need 52 years for the final level then.

Hope this was helpful.

All the best

LOL

goodluck xdd , this will be near impossible solo lol. need to be able to multibox atleast 3 chars to make it somewhat achievable alone. if you are not clearing cs in 75seconds average it will take years solo

example, this is me controlling 3 + i have 5 loaders on my second PC with an ahk script to join them ingame to get p8 (online bnet) they go in for diablo cuz there is a glitch to boost xp when chars under 25 are in for kill.
