I'm shocked there is not guide for lvling your char from 1 to lvl 25. Well me and my friend bloodofthewook came up with a great way to lvl up your chars to lvl 25.... and it can be done before your 2 hour playing requirement is reached!!!

Super Ultra Fast Low Leveling Guide

Basics
The goal is to get your character to lvl 25 ASAP. To do this, you have to kill monsters where you get the most exp in the smallest amount of time. In this guide ill tell you have and what you will need. to do it.

Melee Char Gear
This is some gear you MUST have before you start

Full Sigon Set ( if you have any, socket EVERY piece you can with 20 poison damage jewels, with lvl requirements below 6) OR DEATH'S SET
Eye of the Etlitch
2x Manald heal rings 7%
5-7 +4 to strength grand charm (with NO level requirement)
Many Javelins, preferably rare with 2-4 level requirement
Poison charms with no lvl requirement

Caster Char Gear

Full Hsrusa set(that spelled right?) socket the shield with a 20 poison jewel with no lvl req.
Mask socketed with 3 20 poison jewels with now lvl req.
Eye of the Etlitch
2x Manald heal rings any%
1-3 +4 to strength grand charm (with NO level requirement)
Tarnhelm
Many Javelins, preferably rare with 2-4 level requirement
Poison charms with no lvl requirement

-------------------------------------------------
Ok let me take a break here to explain my equipment choices. Of course melee chars get sigons due to the awesome low lvl bonuses like +mana and life 30 IAS and 10% life leech. Not to mention they look cool ^_^. Socketing them with poison jewels help add more damage for max damage jewels need a higher level and you want to use sigons ASAP. Eye of the Etlich is just awesome. +1 to all skills and a hidden bonus that extends cold duration and life leech. Manald Rings for mana leech when you get up to higher levels you can start using your melee skills. +4 to strength charm help with letting you use sigons at lvl 6. This is especially true if you are making a zon, who starts with 20 strength. Your probably wondering "Of all the weapons out there why javas?†Well they are the most damaging weapons at your level that you can use (you have to throw them of course ^_^). And of course poison charms to help kill faster. (takes a deep breath) And for casters its the same deal except your using the manalds for their mana regen stat. Switch from your mask to your Tarnhelm after your spells do enough damage to kill stuff.
------------------------------------------------------

Stat Point Usage
Wondering what to with your stats? Well of course you pump up strength until you can wear the listed gear above(after adding charm bonuses). If your melee you should alternate between lvls of dexterity strength and vitality. If you’re a caster start pumping up that vitality to keep you from dieing too often. And if your a caster who intends to put points into energy... do this early to save yourself some headaches and mana pots.

How To Level Your Char

As soon as you make the char join a baal runs game.... or any game that has lotsa ppl that won't leave too soon. (i.e. act 2 help)
Start killing monsters in the blood moor. You will notice that a zombie raises your exp by about 1/3.... isn't that nice?? :p Don't bother with going into the den just head straight to the cold plains, killing stuff along the way. Grab the wp and continue killing here until about lvl 6 or 7. Make a get Cain game and rescue him. After this do repeated trist runs either with other low lvls or in baal runs until lvl 15. Make a kill andy game. Continue on to act 2. It would be good if someone could rush you to dury.
Do arcane runs till lvl 20. But DO NOT go to the ancients. Instead continue lvling in act 2 by doing tomb runs. Once you reach lvl 24 get the ancients quest. Congratulations your lvl 25! now you can mindlessly do baal runs to your hearts content. Have Fun!

**** sigons, use Death's Set. Good bonuses in less spots, and insane damage for quite a while.

Explain then. Give your reasoning, which I don't see any, why Sigon's Set is better than Deaths.

And stop spamming unless you have something to say.

You can use death's at lvl 2(except sword) I believe. And Death's doesn't require you to have 60 str. What if your char isn't going to have that much str? I know you say to use str charms, but by the time you find that many, your char could have leeched 15 lvls in Trist Runs.

I also strongly disagree with your lvling strategie. You lvl up much faster in Trist runs than in Blood Moor, no matter how many people are in your game.

HAH! Nice. Anyhow, I will disagree all I want because I am comparing slot-for-slot vs both sets. Besides, full sigson sucks the nuts. Why do that when you can use Umbral Disk, Gorefoot, Blinkbats, and a Biggons bonnet? Those bonuses > sigons.
