  I know, it's so dumb.
  
  I could get to Lv 81 twice and get more AP than just getting to Lv 100 once.
  
  But I figured I'd get the journal achievement one day, so why not do it now when I have nothing else to do for the rest of this week?
  
  :)

  
  
  I wouldn't call it dumb-- I'd call it CRAZY. (in caps and everything. maybe even with hyphens so it's like C-R-A-Z-Y)
  
  But if you are that dedicated-- do what Sunureu13 suggested and set goals.
  I'd imagine that would help the last 10 levels or so pass a bit quicker than they did for me. >.>
  
  but... seriously.... Don't do it!!

  What helps is setting a goal for something (other than levels) and spam/grind until you get it.
  
  Best way for me is think of something I want (for instance, an Elegant cylinder), and then spam Shadow Commander II until I get it. If I get it early, I'll go for another one. Or I'll switch rewards and go for something else.
  
  Also, Dorren's Request HM is a fast 185k xp. I can normally finish it in ~10 minutes with a good party (it helps that I have max synth % though :P)

  
  
  I agree with this, past level 81+ grinding becomes pretty discouraging unless you have a specific item you really want... then the levels will just come forth.
  
  Realistically speaking, though, it'll take you 100+ Shadow Cast City HM solo runs to get from level 65 to 100. You can set up a daily quota of 10~20 runs a day depending on how much time you have left on your rebirth, but this is only good exp if you can finish the mission safely in ~10 minutes or under.
  
  You could always wait for another Double Rainbow to get the achievement, though... that's what I did, lol, I got to ~110 during a weekend from just SCC HM.

  It took me 3 weeks to get to 80. I dunno how you guys can do it weekly.

  Oh no. I rebirth every three weeks. O_O;
  
  I normally get like 50 every three weeks.

  Nexon could start by giving us a quadruple rainbow to make up for the terrible service... since that's how many times harder it's been to level in Alexina for the past few weeks.

  Uhh. I'm a human melee mostly, but working on alchemy.
  
  Any advice / motivation video?
  
  Level 33 or 34 ingame, and my total is 93 or something. 7 more levels and 2 weeks to make it before I rebirth.
  
  Anyone in Mari wanna do a dungeon or some Shadow Missions or something with me?
  
  Thanks :3

  You guys are not NORMAL! o.O
  For me, it would take WAY longer than 46h of grinding! xD Even in 3 week of intense grinding I could probably hit 50, that's it. It's WAY faster for me to grind from 20 to 25 exporation than from lvl 40 to lvl 50... How do you exp that fast? :O

  It's crazy if you do this all the time but if it's a one-time thing for the journal achievement, plan carefully and go for it.
  Just to say that level 50 is actually very easy compared to level 100. If you feel reaching level 70 is easy (within a week), go for it, if not you're putting too much pressure on yourself or you need to re-evaluate your leveling strategies. However, time is also a very important factor to consider.

  i got 80 in 2 days... was during 2x exp event using 2x exp pot (2 hrs) i would trans.. run SCC hard... log off... wait 30 mins log back on repeat till all my 2x was out took me 7-8 hrs and i lvled SO MANY TIMES lol
  
  but was sorta boring i watched anime in between talked to friends... played offlinegames etc etc
  
  Also during the rainbow event i hit.. lvl 45->47 then rb then 1->43 in 40 ish mins (rainbow event lasted a total 45 mins) was right after a maint awhile back if any of you remember
  
  sometimes i wish i could enter a solo Golden apple with trans and encounter tail room after room with those buffed shadow ghosts ^^ 4x exp is around 52k exp per kill with a normal 1. the buffed ones gave i think around 25% more so ide guess 70k exp per kill with 4x now if all 8 spawn in the room like golden apple hard :P
  Ide have a field day... FULL SWING CRITS GO! prob hit lvl 80 in 2 hrs lol

  just like phunkie said: 55 hours(ish) on Their Method on Hard assuming that 13 min is the the max time limit you use per run. 255 runs in total.
  
  That'll get you to 100. I don't have that much free time. lol. How nice that it would take only half of that time using 2x pots.
