Sprkly's Quest for 220

[Andyz]

At what level should she go back for the Scheol quests? 150? 175? I've only done the first step or two of those, but I hear they have really good XP rewards now.

At 215+ When inf missions give you around 30-100k SK at those levels, The Shadowlands quest lines give you 100-300k Each if im not mistaking the numbers. but in general quests are faster then inf missions

[Sprkly]

Getting sick really threw a little wrench in my plans. Doc said last week that I have a nasty case of bronchitis, but as of last night, I'm pretty sure I have strep on top of it. I did give myself an official one week extension on my goal to ding 220, even though I'm sicker now than I was during the week I took off. I figure what's the difference between sitting on my sofa, miserable and watching daytime television and sitting on my sofa, miserable and watching my favorite NT kite for me? So I'm hoping to get my momentum back pretty quickly.

Regardless of whether I ding or not, I'm planning a Sprkly Ding/Fail Party on November 10 from 7pm to 10pm EST at the ICC Con-plex on RK1. DJ Joanwilder will be bringing the tunes, and I'm hoping all the friends Sprklyfix has made along the way will be able to come. There will even be special prizes for some of you that have helped me the most! Tune in to my Sprkle Party that day to see if your name is on the list, and keep an eye on this thread because I'll post it here too.

That being said, I won't be announcing what level Sprklyfix is until the party. I am going into leveling silence, with the obvious exception of telling the people who are helping me out.

[Sprkly]

I have 3 days left! While I still consider myself to be in leveling silence, I will say that I need to do some Inferno missions as much as possible. Anyone 200+ that can help out would be much appreciated!! Beginning around 9pm EST, I'll be in game quite a bit for my mad dash for the finish line, so just send Sprklyfix a tell if you can help out. Also, she's clan, so omni's won't help me much with the Inferno missions, from what I understand.

WTB post cards. I don't suppose you took screenshots of you waterskiing through Adonis behind some L180 whale or riding a dogsled through Penumbra pulled by L200 Advies? Well, there's time to go back and pose for the camera later. You've got work to do! Gotta turn that magnetic personality up to 11 and latch on to some L220 firefighters all gung-ho to go jumping into an inferno!

You can do it, Sprkly! Go glitter!

[Sprkly]

*passes Jezebelle some glittery pompoms*

I love the hell outta you, Jez.

[Sprkly]

So, tonight's the night! Will I ding or will I fail? Regardless, come to my Ding/Fail Party at 7pm EST tonight, where Joanwilder will be bringing the tunes for us. I'll have special prizes for the people on my VIP list (http://www.gridstream.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17682)!

Also, if you'd like to see the things I've learned and experienced over the course of this last month, take a look at Sprklyfix's Final Exam, over here: http://www.gridstream.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17717

See you tonight! Or... at my Sprkle Party in about 45 minutes!

[DJNaughty]

Great party and was a pleasure leveling with ya hun

[Sprkly]

Dinged 201 last night during Joanwilder's show. I'm still trying! lol

[Jezebelle]

Yay! Grats on breaking the 200 barrier!

[Sprkly]

People were seriously not kidding when they said that xp is really really slow after 200. I used to get 2 levels out of an easy inferno mission, but I just barely got 1 this time, and that was only because I had a pool. This is going to take a while... lol

[Tastyvixen]

yep, X says its about as much XP to get from 200 to 220 as it is to get from 1 to 200

[Talidro]

The mid point in terms of total XP needed to go from 1 - 200 was lvl 182. I seem to recall that the midpoint of SK needed to go from 200 to 220 was 216 or 217. And that if you do the math, the conversion rate is around 1 SK = 1000 Xp. Now its been a LONG time since I've seriously played AO, but that means if it still takes a tad over 2mil SK to do 219 - 220, that one level alone is worth as much XP as from 1 to 200 by itself.

[Sprkly]

Math = Sprkly kryptonite

But that is interesting. Level 170-190 wasn't really too bad for xp for me. I had some people escorting me (carefully) through inferno missions so I did pretty well at those levels. I'm NOT excited for the grind of these next 19 levels... eew

[Talidro]

at least now they have missions for you to earn SK in. My first 220 was leveled before they introduced them. lol Only so many spots to grind hecklers or mortiigs at in inferno, we had waiting lists to join the spot when people had to leave. lol

On top of that, we had to walk there... uphill both ways!

;-P

So there's a glass field in Penumbra? Hm. I guess I missed that on my run through there on my way to Inferno.

[Nicodar]

But were you humming this song while doing it?

[Xtrophic]

Oh the lovely grind from 200 and beyond

Getting to 200 is a breeze, getting to 220 is a pain the behind

But good luck! (Who knows ... I might even dust my 220 off some day ...)

207 and 2/3! Inferno teams seem to be getting scarce. I'm mostly relying on dailies lately, which don't get me that much SK. I've been doing my battlestation dailies when I can too, but getting into the 201-214 battlestation has been pretty difficult. Some of these higher level areas are ghost towns when I log in. Where are my 220 friends? Still having lots of fun though!
