Assuming i’m always using a teaching pie, what would be the most effective (read: quickest) way to level a lvl 1 character up to having enough points for 2-3 skillpages? Just mining away? Crafting?
Assume a limitless budget and valueing time spent over (in-game) money spent.
Teaching Pies + rock mining on a max-level char + feed the rocks and teaching pies to your alt and just mass craft rocks across dozens and dozens of crafting tables = level 50 in one shot.
Someone posted a method using oortstone blocks, but I don’t remember the name of the post. If there are any region XP farms open, you can get a quick boost by running through it real quick.
Any idea how old it was? The update that included warnings for “mining the same block” stopped most of the old block placement exploits.
I suppose if you knew how many blocks it takes to get past that defense you could just build and tear down the same wall over and over again.
They pretty much rekt the gatherer profession over flower exploits, too.
EDIT: I hit boundlesscrafting for some XP data. It’s 44 XP to place a deco oort, and it’s 8 XP to mine a gleam block.
This means each swing of a 3x3 at a gleamball is s bit more XP than placing one deco oort. It’s going to be faster to harvest the gleam, but it also has a continuous cost. You’re burning hammers, pies, and brews.
The block placement has a higher startup cost, to acquire the initial blocks. It’s also going to include cycles of build and tear down. It’s probably going to be slower, but also can be cheaper - depending on how much you do, and maybe you could borrow some blocks. You’re still going to want to burn pies, but all other costs are optional. If you’re cheap and patient just stay at T1 and you cou ld use a totem to break them for re-placement
Machined titanium gives 40 xp on placement and Deco oort gives 44. If place/break/replace is the method you can do it with cheaper blocks.
I think it was posted this year. It might of been a YT how-to video. I think a vertical tunnel and possibly water were part of it? I’ll look again to see if I can locate it.
Edit to add: I think this was it
Now that we have gleam ■■■■■ on T1 you can beat this rate in a gleamball. Not by a lot though.
If you want to count in after processing of doors (ignoring machine wait times) you can crush it. They nerfed the coin of doors but not the XP.
EDIT: Thanks for the video @HOST that’s what I was thinking from the description above. You just need enough blocks to pass the exploit protection. LOL I remember the first time I caught someone working a single block of titanium for mad levels.
No problem bro and yeah u need enough blocks I had a post somewhere…I think it was 3 smart stacks and a bit but yeah you would need a sovereign or have someone reclaim your beacon to repeat the progress
@georgegroeg has a video showing a leveling farm using 900 deco Oort that are then chiseled. Basically you just place them out, chisel them, then remove while using a teaching pie. Rinse/repeat.
