    I believe Miri's spin to win using dragon's energy (call it whatever you want) makes her a beast at clearing trash and therefore would win
    Though she get's strong kid of late right? while someone like Hurk is strong right from the get go :)

    Longsword & Small Shield Fiona. Unlike Miri, you will have zero down time and she moves faster across maps using Shield Dash between red barriers.

    I found Miri and TS Vella the fastest with the latter surprising me.

    Miri: high burst, large aoe, high mobility. Plus you unlock her chainswing early on. 1-95 took me between 6-7 hours with vip and event exp boosts I had stocked.

    TS Vella: low stamina consumption, high mobility, crosscut and doublecross in later levels would demolish tanky mobs. Simply lure groups together and fish out those counters. 1-95 took around 7hours under the same conditions as Miri.

    All other classes took 8-10+ hours from 1-95 under same conditions as Miri and TS Vella.

    I did story for 1-70 which was usually completed somewhere early into S2 story. Used 100% exp boost at level 70 (stacking with VIP and VVIP exp boosts) and spammed s2 raids. It is most viable to do this at around reset time as you need around 2 full sets of s2 raids to get to 95.

    Atherion yeah TS vella is very effective indeed :) I like that you have gathered this much data, thing is though that I will be using this for making gold, so I'm not intressted in spamming s2 boats for exp but rather complete as much quests as possible for gold income.

    I'm thinking about pushing until autumn reed beed (or whatever it's called) I believe that it would net you around 1kk/Hour roughly

    That is a really bad way to make money. Heck even spamming S2 boats => dismantling + selling scrolls will make you a lot more per hour.

    And right now best money is running a rar per character you have till at least the end of the event. (Basically ~12m per hr of your time there.)

    Top factors:
    A. Clearing Mobs
    B. Speed traveling through map
    C. Burst damage for end boss (In the mid level bosses just trans spear the boss).

    Ranks:
    1. Miri - Spin2Win, Dragonform
    2. Teide Hurk - Spacebar + right-click through the map
    3. Sylas - Balanced in all 3 factors
    + everyone else

    Xgun Kai would be a top choice except his speed traveling through the map is on the lower end of the spectrum.

    Twin swords vella doesn't clear mobs fast enough.

    Scythe evie seems like a good option at first but her mob clearing options take longer to execute then other chars (e.g. Miri/Kai). Stamina issues with trying to blink through the map vs. Miri/Delia's skill which costs no SP to sprint.

    this is so well written :) ty for this!
    btw, would 1m / hour be considered trash gold gain? (I just don't feel vindictus as this group playing game, more like Devil May Cry MMO :D)

    There is the RAR event going on right now, so doing those raids as many times as you can can yield quite a bit of profit due to increased drop rates for shards.

    Outside of the event, a lot of people spam s2 raids for equipment which you can dismantle and sell. You can also get some scrolls such as passion, and enthu which is somewhat valuable. But I'm unsure what what the economic situation of EU is like so its better to check your market prices for reference.

    Considering you re playing in EU. So for me 1m/ hour is not bad. We re not NA server. Their economy is collapsed by bots, hack, gold-selling. Ours is better despite of having bots too. If you have a good source for farming gold then keep going.

    "Collapsed" isn't the word I would use to describe the NA economy. A better word is "inflated". There has been times over the years when the NA economy was not inflated and I've got to say that its miserable when you're scrounging hard to make any gold and have to pay attention to repair fees and such.

    On the other hand the NA economy means a higher barrier of entry for new players who don't know the tricks to getting the most gold. It's advantageous to wealthy players who can stock up gold during inflated times/prices, hold certain items for stretches based on pricing, and stock-up on botted items for pennies.
