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...

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.

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.

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.
