    Default Time limited vanity for capping?

    Like PL's level 76 expansion, if you capped within a week(I think) you got an exclusive vanity and title for doing a hardcore exp grind,

    Maybe for our l41 expansion do a similar event?

    In PL it was difficult because you had to get 100k and even the best dungeons only gave a couple hundred. Also it wasn't a week, but was 4 days if I remember correctly. I played for 10+ hours per day and I finished on the third day.

    In AL you only need 26k and you have dungeons like the tombs where you can get 500+ xp for a run that takes 5 minutes. Last time there were players who finished in a few hours. I don't think it would have the same exclusivity, and half the players would end up with the vanity. Maybe if they want have an exclusive vanity for capping within 24 hours, then that would be decent, but make the period of time too long and there is no challenge.

    24 hours seems fair.

    I remember the egg! I thought it was 3 days, but it may have been four (update on Friday, ending on Monday as I remember). Could be fun if they did something similar here. It would encourage me to grind harder to the cap than a first 50 to lvl41 list on the forums which I may or may not ever bother to take a look at

    How about the top 25 just like the other leaderboards. Top 25 in each class get a banner.

    Some people live on the other side of the world. While the whole egg idea in pl was a complete turn of for me (total money grab), i would think if you did it it would have to be a fixed amount of time. The first x is heavily dependent on the time the update is released.

    Fair enough, perhaps just give 24 hours then. If you give 24 hours then it's equal for everyone in the world no matter where you live.

    Any longer than 24 hours and it becomes too easy and will no longer be very exclusive.

    Grimmy: If I remember correctly, it was originally meant to be 3 days until Monday, but they ended up extending it to Tuesday.

    I believe this would work out with a quest giving system. For 16 hours, the quest giver appears and gives the quest. Upon starting it, a little timer counts down 24 hours.

    So no matter if you are the first one to grab it after the servers go back on or the last person that went to sleep a little before the update went on, you will still have an equal chance to grind for the same amount of time in order to grab your vanity. How's that?

    The time you can take the quest is limited. If you can reach the level cap in the first 16 hours the quest giver will be out, you can do the exact same thing by taking the quest at the first minute or the last - no difference or exploit here.

    *asks around "Is 16 greater than 24?". "No", comes the instant answer.*

    So you can only take the quest within 16 hours? And it ends in 16 hours?

    You could level up to the max within 15:59 hrs, then take the quest.

    Make it so the quest can only be taken if you are level 36 (or lower)

    Uh, what you're looking to find is just not there.

    Considering the new expansion's default experience boost, the high threat levels that also rise exp gain multiplier and how people are going to rush in to complete everything and level offering full party bonus exp, I can safely tell you that if you don't deliberately stop, you can cap in a lot less than 15 hours -taking the quest from the start or at the last minute.

    If you're seriously aiming to get that vanity and you're not just fooling around, you will do it either way.

    In case that still is such a serious issue, the quest giver could block your path until you take the quest.
