Ultimate Hich Strategy: Leveling In The Tutorial ( Went World Record Level In Tutorial )

As you hopefully know, last weekend was one of the rare DXP weekends. You get double combat xp, but more importantly double professions xp. With this, it’s an ideal time to level both- but I’ve given up profs on my main class, and still have a HICH class in the works! Time to grind my ass of on that one.




..turns out you need an ass to live. Sadly, my HICH got massive server lag whilst grinding ingredients, and died ungloriously to connection issues. Welp, better make a new HICH class, to maybe at least get a few levels again. Actually, I should be a bit more careful this time.



This is part of the tutorial area, and since 1.19 (with the introduction of reliks), there is now also a small pond, so you can gather all different types right here in the tutorial, safe from any dangerous mobs. You know what: I’ll try to get a few levels before going further, skipping some dangerous gathering areas sounds like a great choice.



Hey, this is going pretty nice! maybe just a few more levels though, just to be sure. These early HICH levels can be rough, and I want to be prepared for the worst. In fact, I should go level my crafting professions as well, since the gathering nodes are very close to eachother here.



Oh. I might have a problem, this is maybe a bit much.. whatever. Time to craft and get those sweet sweet triple xp levels!



The Eye really has been following us since we started. You might think it takes many levels and accomplishments to find the Eye, but little did you know he has been here all this time.. watching. Seeing. No one’s ever safe from it. Perhaps professions can give an end..?




I have gamed so hard, and yet I am still in the tutorial. Please, someone teach me how to continue. I’ve forgotten where the exit is, and I’m starting to doubt there even is one. I’m stuck in these few chunks together with Aledar and Tasim, I have gained all the profession levels, I don’t know what else I can do anymore. Please, if you know the way out, tell me, or I might be stuck in here forever.

Yup, total level 265, with combat level 12, and woodcutting 50. The highest known level in the tutorial. Was it worth it? No, not really. Took longer than my old HICH did, and ended up with like 2 and a half full inventories’ worth of mats I ended all crafting up. I’ll continue with this HICH eventually, but this is pretty cool as is and I’d like to see people beat this record (with a new class of course). The highest level I've ever seen so far was combat 11.. nearly 4 years ago.

Shoutouts to:
@YYGAYMER for giving me the courage to try HICH again
@Linnyflower for understanding exactly what I was doing and supporting me
The Prof Tryhards for all the bombs and cool stuff
Whoever in the party said they’d give me a hug if I got anything level 50 please I’m desperate

 

Once upon a time I realized, due to the 3% xp falloff, you could grind to the 30s in the tutorial. Never thought someone would actually do something even close.

 

The grind is strong with this one. Kudos to you, wow!

 

At what point would you no longer get xp (if ever)?

 

Combat xp would probably completely vanish by the time I reach the late 10s, but.. profs are a different story. They just give base xp, without any changes per level, so in theory it's possible to get all the way to 100 and past that from the tutorial, but it would take an extremely long time, probably thousands of hours..

But it would be possible. I'm not insane enough to even try it, but if anyone has like a year or two to throw away: go for it.

 

I just realised you would also be limited to your tool speed lol

 

you have infinite t1 tools... bit of a yikes but at least it’s not awful lol

since speed is capped at level 9 anyways and it’s basically the same as post endgame ironman grind except more grindy

also i’ll hug u bart

________________________________

and it’s definitely possible to calculate the time needed to get a profession to level 100-

(total XP/avg XP per node) will give you the amount of nodes you need to mine

time one perfect circuit of nodes

multiply the amount of nodes you need by the time you got and then divide that number by the amount of nodes in the circuit

and there you go


(i’m actually considering doing this)

________________________________

also yikes triple post but me and @GlassJarss got 11 in tutorial lul

 

wtf bart
not lag death again eeee

 

Gamer alert

 

all right

you get 22.5 average XP per node (18-27)
7 nodes per min (due to regen)
22.5*7=157.5 XP/min
XP to 100 woodcutting - 21,045,569
21045569/157.5 = 133,622 minutes

2,227 hour grind

anyone down?

 

What about Prof bombs?

 

Plus discord xp, and double XP wknd
Assuming dxp weekend, the hours would be 2227/6 (wknd+xpbomb+*2xfaster gathering / respawn) for a total of around 370 hours which is much more reasonable, with discord xp I don't want to bother since it's only 24hrs and I don't wanna do math

 

what if... people hunted you... in the tutorial...

Just kidding!

Unless?

 

I believe it's a safezone

 

Whoever the hell does this shall become the most insane prof tryhard ever, passing Pododang.

 

@YYGAYMER if you do this I will free you from Poison RtE.

 

No, he’ll be freed from the curse of spider

 

i enjoy spending three months of my life straight cutting wood in the tutorial without any feeling of satisfaction

oh god this challenge sounds so awful to complete
24 hours of straight woodcutting to not even get a single level

i take it back when i said i wanted to do this lmfao

assuming you were bill gates and used prof parties for the entire thing at $9/hr

2227/4=only 557 hours
which is actually doable

but it would cost you $5013
