I know what you mean

I intended on leveling up on Syntax and Recursion...But I never finished Syntax <.<

1. Make a new lowbie.

2. Using dual clienting or a friend, farm enough 01 Soldier Parts into that lowbie's inventory to get them from 2 to 50. (Got to do some math here, figure out how much XP per level the parts give, and then figure out how many boxes you need for each level XP range. I think it's roughly around 4,000 parts from 30-50, don't count on that though.)

3. Trade in those parts for boxes of parts. Have the lowbie email them to him/herself.

4. Delete the lowbie and recreate it. Skip the tutorial, have someone port to Tabor N, take the subway to DT, then get ported to Binary Boy. Trade in all the boxes of parts. You've now leveled a char to 50 with /play of about 5 minutes.

I'd rather gouge out my eyes with a spoon than farm that many soldier parts, but just saying. If there's any "record-seekers" here, the target should be minutes, not days.

So, are you saying that if you email the boxes to your lowbie's self, then delete the lowbie and create another one with the same name, it will have of the boxes in its email instead of them disappearing with the deletion?

Right. Email doesn't disappear on deletion. You can always reclaim emails to a deleted character by remaking the character.

I don't think minutes. The collector's window closes after each trade and the lag to reopen it aslo. I'd say 1-3 hours with continuous trading.

I'll let you know when I try it. lol

You'd have to make the trade 200 times.

That's just assuming my ballpark figure of 4,000 parts is right. And that was only from 30-50. More from 1-30.

Well in your experience that may be true, but this is your first 50. You don't have anything close to a complete knowledge of the game, so of course there are going to be tactics and boxes and events and mainly, oppurtunities to level that you don't know about.

If you really are going for speed, missioning is not the way to do it. Simple as.

One such example: With the right amount of committed people, a 50 takes 3 days during Halloween.

it does not take a long period of time to grasp the little consept that MxO has my faction informs me on ways to lvl so i have done basically every thing u said i have NOT heard  about :/  box r a waste for me even when they are lvl 60 and up they only dis out bought 30k a kill  and its still takes a good amount of time to kill them even with a large team *quote* (oppurtunities to level that you don't know about) the holiday is a oppertunity to gain exp...it extreamily short a gives resonable exp thats why i mentioned it, the zero parts work gudd to but it take close or a little more of time as the mish, to farm the parts for zero for the exp(20 to get exp), and the paradox box is gudd if u after the gear it doesnt have gudd exp...so name a oppertunity that u think my faction hasnt told me that can be currently used to lvl a char in 3 days to 50...(they inform me well and help...and just like dat holoween oppertunity... its gone...update is holiday mish for the time being(that is the current quick way of gaining quick exp)...and to be honest i tend to wonder on games just to find different things *curiousity* and i ask my faction ALOT of questions to which keeps me informed on things i can do then and later on in my lvlN...and i am not gonna make another char to lvl 50 this game doesnt have enough new things that grasp my attention

now im not saying that i know every bit of information(but it doesnt take a genuis to listening to other high lvl players for leads on new things and oppertunities) i know enough to determine what lvls me faster...

I'm curious, which faction do you belong to?

Worldwalker let me just give you a heads up. Your debating with one of the most experienced people in mxo with more 50's then you can poke a stick at. He has also farmed all the content ingame and one of the highest cq counts ingame. So if Bayamos tells you 01 parts or other boxes like Sleepwalker gives you the best xp you shouldnt argue.

I have two new chars on vector and 1 is 50 already and I started playing her about the same time you joined. The other is 32 and I only log it in for SW boxes. Just cause your faction does SW boxes wrong doesnt mean its crap for xp. Instead of drop one box drop as many as possible. Atleast 10 and you will get the best xp you can imagine. A level 2 can get to 20 in 1 hour from it.

Your also wrong about 01 parts. It is a very effective way to get xp especially if you got friends to help, just get them to fill their inventory and put loot on random so the parts go to you. I shouldnt have to say this either but you should be using AOE hacks for this and group up as many as possible and kill them all together. Going in with coder or MA wont cut it.

BTW its pandora's box not paradox box lol

Its obvious whoever is telling you this stuff doesnt know what they are talking about, dropping one box at a time in an attempt to level you makes me lawl at your faction.

 no disrespect towards the guy but i really dun care who the guy is and i really dun care if it was para or pandora box u knew wut i meant since u tried to do that lame correction ,u need to do alot of re-reading to becuz i didnt say that the zero parts wasnt gudd i basically meant while they searching for 20 i could finish 2 holiday mish with same or more exp(thats what i meant by a wast...oh let me put the *E* at the end of waste b4 u correct me,lol...(o and one thing dun disrespect da faction ya diggz thats a no-no)-(and we do not have like 30 all on at once to make them boxes go by quick)...did u thesauruse that word *lawl* <.< yea u did dun lie,lol made u feel smart

( and i get wut u meant by the laying all them boxs but not every ones faction have 50 ppl and up in them to do all that)

and to Bayamos i meant no disrespect i only meant that i knew the ways u was talking about it just wasnt doing any gudd cuz our faction may not be a broad as the others to have enough ppl to make it as quick as u say...while wait for them 30k kill after like 6-7 min of fighting one lvl 63 and up sleeper, i could of done mish to substitue for that

If you're solo lvln, yeah missions are the best way, especially archives.

And yeah as Zenom said, say its 5 50's and you, each person drops 1 box, and bang, major xp. Don't need 50 people to do 6 boxes. Think theres a bunch of us gonna be doing this on syntax somepoint soon.

Also heard of a way with Exile Hideouts. Run through the entire floor, pull them all, and hax away. Never tried it but did seem a good way for solo lvln.

by my experience SW boxes far out way general missioning by about 60% on a xp/time basis thats with a team of 4 hackers doing 6 boxes and lvling 2 alts.  this can be increased easily by using more boxes as with AOE it makes no difference generally the 55s are taken out in a matter of seconds and its only the lvl 60 which take a little longer.  That being said you do need 4 lvl 50s to do this.  there are other methods that require 3-4lvl 50s that are quite fast but i have not calculated the exact xp/min you get from these tasks but i will list them below:

01 part farming and mission running at the same time - Basically 2-3 50s go to 01 and farm parts 1 drags then they both lay into the whole group while another 50 runs missions with the lowbie.  this increases the output of xp by quite alot and id have to say could be more effiecient than sleep walker boxes.

Corrupted farming - this is a good thing to do if you are fed up of missions and basically want to do something else. Register a trial account on station launcher and dual client a new character make him a machine and get him the stamos access key and hardline.  then basically spawn a corrupted using the teleport trick and farm away. you can even write a macro so that you can just stand there talking on faction chat while your char automatically kills the corrupted spawns.  This is actually slightly better xp/min than tiny hard assassin missions but only just.

The most effiecient method ive seen however which is a combination of 2 methods is sleepwalker box farming with 01 part collecting- basically you have a team of 6 hackers in satis farming SW boxes with the lowbie also attacking the SW spawns.  Try and get as many boxes as possible dropped just log on alts and drop a box and relog to get more boxes dropped if you cant get enough players n to drop them. 6 hackers can pretty much clear 10-12 boxes with ease.  The lowbie then just area hacks the spawns and he will recieve xp for hitting the npcs. being off team this usually equates to about 25-30k per kill at lvl 21.  mean while the lowbie sits on team with 2 other 50's in 01 farming parts.  This is by far the most efficient method ive seen but it does require alot of 50s.

The other method is Machine missions 5.1 where by you have to kill very little and you can run the whole 5.1 chapter with ease.  this is a decent solo missioning attempt but in no way compares to the above method.

I got to level 20 in like 8 hours doing Sleepwalker Boxes.

I did it in less then an hour. You just werent doing enough boxes at the same time.

just wondering how many boxes did you pop and how many hacker did you have

On that box drop i believe we had 14, we have done it a few times so its hard to remember. we average at around 14 but we hae gone as high as 17. id say 10-11 where hackers on that attempt.

Ok were do I sign up for these box sessions? Seriously didnt realise how much xp they gave off! Someone let me know when your doing em pleeasseee! I hate missioning my alts and I mean hateee!

I'm going to be crazy and do the corrupted farming thing.
I haven't decided on 6000 or 7000 of corrupted fragments, but with 80 per spawn, I count about..75-80 corrupted spawns, which I'll do at least one daily.  When it comes down to it, I'll have fraps on and log recording.

I currently get on average 80 fragments / spawn, which is two boxes.  For 6000 and 7000 frags, that's 150 or 175 boxes overall.  Roughly 2 boxes / spawn, so thats about 75 to 88 spawns.  (I wish I could uncompress the archives later for insecticides if I had any left over.....)

Right im looking into finding an exact number of parts or decaying code it would take to lvl from 2 to 50.  Does any one have any data they may have recorded in the past regarding how much xp a box of 01 parts gives at certain lvls. If so i would appriciate it if you could share this data with the boards and i can utilise this in my calculations.  Alternatively if Rare could share the xp data per lvl he set the parts trade in at i would be very grateful.  if i can not get any data previously recorded can i ask a favour of the players of mxo i need a wide spread of data for how much xp you gain at different lvls for 20 robot parts.  if it is anything like the xp curve it will probably be a slightly different curve in the ranges of 2 to 10 than in 11 to 50.

With your help i will be able to use your data to graph the xp gained from each trade in per lvl and thereby calculate the exact number needed to lvl from 2 to 50 purely on parts trade in's alone

I was under the impression the exp gain from boxes like that was geared to level much like hardlines and access nodes are but I could be quite wrong.

Yes, xp is based on level, for basically everything. It seems only thing that isn't is Access Nodes.

To a certain extent.  If a level 2 cashes in on Creston Node, he gets little, where as anyone around 30-50 get the same 900Kish if I recall.

Yes they are what i am looking for is details of how much xp you get per 20 parts at different lvls. For instance say at lvl 8 you get 40k and at lvl 9 you get 48k or something to that extent.  I am trying to plot the exact ammount of parts needed to attain each level.  through my own findings im estimating 120 parts per lvl at lvls 2 to 40 then 300 for lvls 40 to 50 that is a rough estimate but it worked out pretty well in my tests

Ok thanks to both Tsusai and Craint for your help i have completed my research into decayed code farming as an alternative to missioning and i have been able to calculate the exact number of archives you need per level and a total needed to reach lvl 50.

as you see if you trade 1 archive in at lvl 1 you will jump straight to lvl 5 from then on the number of archives needed to reach the next level is listed.  I have highlighted a flaw in the xp reward system for the corrupted code XP trade in as shown in this thread

http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/..._id=36300027480

and hopefully this could be looked at to bring it in line with the rewards given by the equivilant amount of decayed code needed to obtain a corrupted code.

My next set of research is going to be in 01 part farming and the xp gained off of each part although from my initial research i have found that the trade in for 20 parts is equal to the max xp reward for killing an ^^^ npc 5 levels above the player level times by 10 + a bonus ammount of xp that i have yet to calculate a progression for.

Nice work, this could turn into something very interesting. 

oh in case anyone wanted to know the /play time you will have if you use the corrupted farming method and nothing else would be around 6 days 3 hours based on 1 corrupted spawn every hour yeilding an average of 80 decayed code.  not a bad /play time considering you dont have to move around at all.

the fastest way i found for a noobie is noding, ive been playing for 2 weeks and at level 25, and been solo all the way, apart from a couple of hours that ive been following faction members doing their missions, got +50 rep to the machines, completed 8 archive missions and have all of richland/westview/international hardlined and access noded, very good souce of XP

would very much like to try this sati playground boxing, but no idea where to start

whats your /play time though log in to your character and type /paly in the chat box. this will give you teh total amount of time you have been on your character. also with my method you can be doing other things such as chat while your farm.  basically you can set your attacks to a macro and farm away without actually wasting your precious mouse clicks but make sure you are still playing the game as AFK farming is against the rules.  But macro to save you mouse clicks are allowed.  with my methos it would take me 1 day and 9 hours of /play time to reach 25.  this is somewhat slow compared to missioning but then again i dont have to move more at all.  the only thing i miss out on is rep but thats easy to grind so its no big deal.  A combination of sleep walker boxes and 01 part farming at the same time is still the most effective way to lvl.

ZarlakQ has been in play for a total of 4 days, 17 hours, and 21 minutes.

using my method you can hit 25 in 1 day and 9 hours without running around.

have pmed you as do not understand how your method works

I'm not sure where Ex stands, but I stand at 31/294 archives (if it were for a single headgear, it would be 31/53), which should put me at level 17

i have also worked out that you level faster doing standard missions than archives, due to the quantity of them that you can do in little time, i did some grinding, and i worked out that each subchapter, at level 30 was given me 1,500,000 xp in the region of for completing the 5 stages 300,000 per completed mission, however each mission you have to go running round 4 to 6 different locations, meeting gray and pace, escorting npcs about, and its time consuming,this would take me 60 to 80 mins to complete each subchapter token

however, i get 250,000 xp from doing a small timed hard difficulty assasination mission, and i grinded 8 of them in 40 mins giving me 2,000,000 xp in 40 mins, a lot more in a lot less time, as its just hyper jump to each location and maximum of 3 different locations to visit per mission therefore 16 missions in 80/90 mins, gives 4,000,000 xp the same time as getting 1,500,000 from a subchapter token from an archive

i raised this point with my org and someone said yeah but thats boring, but lets face it, grinding is boring whichever way you look at it, and this way doing standards gives you much more xp than archives, now at level 35 and can level up in 5 hours to each level, if you look at the final xp 16 or so million to get to 50 from 49, you can do it in 63 standard assasionation missions, which at the pace i do them, would take me 7 hours, so could do it in a day

What makes Archive better IMO is that you get a reward for doing them along with levels.

Bingo.  And, some of them are cool.  Doing standard missions for me is about as fun as putting my head in a paint mixer.

but once youve got the rewards and done all of them the first time like i have, doing them all again isnt fun, you know what happens and youve done them all, so it becomes just like a grind

just done another 45 mins constant grind, had to restart my pc after that and got the following xp

172,847

272,085
147,728
205,912
241,929
272,250
272,250


1,699,672 in 45 mins, would have got 2,266,229 if id have managed an hour before the pc messed up, im not saying do this all your life, just showing that standard missions are better for fast levelling than archives for someone just seeking to mass xp, i remember being told archives was faster

If you know how to do archive missions,it is fast actually!Now,i'm not going to persuade you to do it.Not at all,whatever you think it's best..

But you call 114,671 a good amount of experience  points?I call it,waste of time!You can get close to 1,000,000 experience points in 15 minutes as long as you know how to do it.

thats what the mission at level 34 gave me, bearing in mind it was a short mission, if you can explain how to get 1,000,000 in 15 mins ill gladly do that, but you only get 1,500,000 from a completed subchapter of an archive, i.e doing all of 10.1 which takes a lot longer than 15 minutes, bearing in mind youve got to run to like 4 or 5 different places to attend meetings, clear out 10 commandos before leaving, etc etc, how can you do this in 15 minutes

In certain archive missions,you don't have to kill any npc.Invite a level 50-just let him be on the team!One of my characters,at level 45 was getting 450,000 experience points.But as i said,what ever works for you!

Archives are alot better. Standard missions aren't that good, trust me (grinded 2 chars rep while lvln from 1 org to another.)

And boo to the no killing  I know some people that have ran the 3 stage no killing. Seems effective but the way i see it is you also get xp from the npcs, especially a group of 2 chevs or even better, 3 chevs. Getting xp through a mission and then a lump at the end in my opinion is better.

3hours 30min.

1K

im sure this aint fast enough , cuz on my roomies account i know we got all 3 vector chars lvled very fast i think the fastest was done in less then one week, ive had this char for years and just started working on him, finally finished today! YAY!
