Effective use of XP boosters?

[Miraculix]

So, I recently got myself some ximerin, seeing as my free time is getting less and less, and the desire to play only grows. I figured if I ever hit 50, I'd have to do it by using boosters.

And yeah okay vanity kicked in and I want a cool looking armor too

So, any tips on using boosters? How to squeeze the best out of them? How much do they actually last?

Don't restrict yourself to my questions, any experience you think would be helpful to share, please, feel free

Miraculix,

Well, let's see...

The final level is about 700K XP...
You can do the final level in 1-2 days with +100% boosters and health and mana potions.
So for the late 40s, one booster will complete about 50% of the level (or more) if you are solo and keep killing.
(This last part is very important to keep the timer from stopping, so keep lots of potions ready.)

They are especially effective when combined with an ally Conjuror (infinite mana and health) instead of potions.

The attached picture is after 1 1/2 boosters (and subsequent "levelling" hours) with potions.
(I say "levelling" hours because it lasts longer than an actual hour since you might take breaks, go to sell, and the timer stops counting down between mobs occasionally as well.)

So to summarize: With Ximerin it is incredibly easy to level. You can solo the final level like it is nothing, and the levels that come before it like they are mere childsplay. It still consumes time, but much more efficiently.

Without Ximerin it is an absolute nightmare. I tried it for a while, and it didn't go so well.

I'm still glad I levelled Nessa all the way to 48 without boosters, because it all feels a tad bit cheap.
But I am supporting NGD, which is the greatest thing we can do within the context of the game.

Regards.

Ok from my experience, I didn't feel the need of Mana and Life potions. What you need to go on XP rampage is good mob density and mob that doesn't hurt you so much (I prefered the cat and dog to cyclops for example). You need to kill a lot without needing mana and life (in the end Ancient and Wild Lions were my targets). Then you need time, and friends are welcome to have less boring grinding session.

PS: I really need to thanks Sprell and Zielski for getting to lvl 50 they helped me so much.

It depends on what you want, XP boosters count down while you are killing a mob and 10 seconds afterwards.

If you are limited on the amount of boosters you can use, to make it last, skill a few offensive spells so you can down a single mob quickly. This will allow you more kills per booster, but may take longer in overall time.

Thanks everyone. I'm still a little confused about the timer. What do you mean "to keep it from stopping" ? Can I somehow avoid the extra seconds that counted are after each kill by starting another fight immediately? How can you see the time that is left in your booster? It's gone from my inventory once activated :/

And I don't plan to use potions, I'd rather use up all my ximerin on xp-boosters, to lvl my hunter as well after I get my marks to 50

Holding the cursor over your exp bar and you'll see the countdown from 60 mins.

The timer begins whenever you attack a monster (not player), and carries on counting down until 10 seconds after you stop attacking it.

Ah thank you! That clears it out. So I need to attack the next mob within 10 seconds at least (actually as fast as possible) from the last one to get the most out of my xp-time, right?

Depends on how long it's actually taking you to kill each mob.

The best and fastest way is in a powerexping party, maximizing GRP bonus (and equalizing base exp).

The idea is to never stop (whichever the class), and insta kill all mobs.
