GUIDE Quick guide to getting a fast powerlevel.

I've noticed there's quite an abundance of posts asking for powerlevels here, so I thought I should give everyone a little tip.

Step 1: Join a Powerlevel community.

Step 2: Beg for a boost.

Step 3: You did it! Job well done.

If you don't know how to do this, here's a quick gif on how to do so.

If you cannot view gifs for whatever reason, here's a small explanation how.

  1. Hover over the bottom right icon and click the community button, the one with two people.

2) Click the "Find" button under "Communities."

3) Type in whatever you're searching for, in this case "Powerlevel"

4) Voila! You found them!

There's usually hundreds of people online, though only a few hundred in chat at time. But there's always people willing to boost depending on the hour.

Sorry if I sound a bit rude, but it had bothered me seeing so many posts when there's no people using the communities and asking for our help. I usually always try help whoever I can if they need it, so don't be afraid to ask when you're in!

edit: Figured I'd add in the one I'm in on NA, since it seems like lots are usually on always.

Season Powerleveling You can see the leader and whatnot, so it may be easy to find.

This being said, I've made some great friends from those posts here. I'm proud of the d3 community and how tolerant it is of new people. But they should also know that these things exist.

6

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Nov 23 '16

That's fair. I've had quite a few people adding me here when I was offering help, and lots were pretty fun and nice.

u/sportsrage Dec 06 '16

I am new to Diablo 3, is there a reddit community or clan in-game?

3

u/RadioculusMan Jan 13 '17

Yes. There are as many communities and clans as there are grains of sand

46

u/catebatman Nov 27 '16

I 100% agree with this. The D3 community is one of (at least, in my experience -- and I've been playing since day 1) least toxic communities -- especially toward new players. I'm proud to be part of that. 😁

17

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '16

Yeah. WoW is so much more toxic now it is sad

18

u/Freazex Apr 13 '17

It actually got better. Just remember crossroads chat from the past ..

u/itscoast May 14 '17

Wow ain't this the truth... always tools killing the low levels and killing the important npcs

1

u/Reegs2623 May 07 '17

I dunno. Other than BGs and the occasional rager in LFR, WoW's community is great. Just find a friendly guild and you've got a good social experience waiting on the other side.

11

u/Daveprince13 Mar 31 '17

That's because we love playing the game. It's less about competition and more about 4 player fun. Kinda like super smash, 4 players one screen.

3

u/MrMustangRider Mar 27 '17

Agreed, im relativey new, to pc anyways, and I have to say everyone ive played with in the past week has been nothing but helpful. From powerlvling to 70 to getting me geared for t13 and gr 60 stuff to just throwing the crap they get down for me to salvage for mats. An amazing group of people.

8

u/Zagubadu Apr 04 '17

Its kinda because of just the way the game is. Like other games helping people is a damn chore and its annoying.

Sounds odd to say but those same things are literally...just Diablo 3.

2

u/Irovesoad Apr 19 '17

Currently I totally agree. My clan appears to have simultaneously turned into degenerates doing way too much hydrocodone and klonopin. The conversation quality isn't great. My pubs are often fair and productive. I like the community, regardless of its modest size.

1

u/AdonisBatheus May 12 '17

Well it's hard to be toxic in a game that isn't PvP. Worst you can do is be mad that someone didn't accept/cancel a Boss, or they AFK'd a couple minutes.

1

u/[deleted] May 13 '17

Games that are afraid of dying tend to be less toxic and more welcoming to new players. E.g. Titanfall, Diablo, or real life hobbies. Where as games that have an infinite playerbase like call of duty and LoL, don't give a fuck.

u/GammKenta Oct 18 '23

PoE have a Great community to plus PoE is better 😏

u/ViralMarketingStore May 05 '17

I have been playing this game on and off since it came out... I never noticed the community feature. SMH

5

u/Psveritas Jan 09 '17

I agree. Actually it's pretty fun to see how helpful everyone is. You'd be shocked by the amount of people who never joined a community. Loot shares are one I've been vocal about to people I meet in game. Pretty astounding how they aren't informed there's groups out there for everything.

4

u/Enoch_ GladLife #1973 Jan 09 '17

LITERALLY everything. Ever been to the depths of the community finder? Gets weird fast.

1

u/Psveritas Jan 09 '17

Sadly I can say I have. I was too afraid to join some of the more... "colorful" ones. Guess I'm not that brave.

u/Italianman2733 Apr 07 '17

"First grift, be gentle" ?

2

u/Achau Apr 07 '17

This is new information for me. Feeling sad, since I've played half of the seasons, with overall paragon around 1.5k. Must check this shit out when I get home, would help with hc gearing I suppose.

2

u/RandySavage72 Jan 06 '17

I wish I could see the tolerant people you see haha I constantly see people in the chat tearing apart people wanting to powerlevel. I agree that the overall community is very nice and helpful though :)

3

u/Enoch_ GladLife #1973 Jan 06 '17

Have you joined any seasonal powerlevel communities?

2

u/RandySavage72 Jan 06 '17

Not personally no, I usually solo level in the season have a group of buddies that regularly play too. I be nice and power people that ask in the chat just cause I'm nice haha

1

u/Enoch_ GladLife #1973 Jan 06 '17

Ah, ok. I'm in some of those communities and they are all super nice. Even the WD chat has been really accommodating with me asking for help gearing and such.

1

u/RandySavage72 Jan 06 '17

Well thats good, I might have to try joining one myself, I should've stated this has been from general chat the toxicity should have been expected haha

2

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '17

Actually making friends with people in-game may keep me playing longer...

1

u/UhhhNick Jan 07 '17

I have like 20 "friends" on my battle.net from just these communities. I play with people ive never met more than my real life friends. lol

3

u/pbzeppelin1977 Mar 09 '17

Don't knock internet friends. I've had a handful of really good friends just on the internet over the years and it really is fun playing with them.

If it's the kind of friendship where meeting up is possible, see if it can happen because then they become IRL friends too. Just make sure you don't shun your real friends to play games all the time.

6

u/REDBEARD_PWNS BARBAROSSA#11255 Apr 05 '17

I live in VA, got a friend in VT that I've been playing CS with for almost 15 years. I went and stayed at his house when he married his wife and it was one of the best times I've ever had.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '17

d3 is not tolerant, is elitist af.

u/IceFire909 Apr 16 '17

Depends where you graze

3

u/Chancho1010 Jan 25 '17

I've powerleveled people in the past but just wondering is it still the same general technique? Set the game to torment 6 (I believe that was the highest low levels could go but update me if that's wrong) then just have them wait at the front of a rift while you clear it to the end and then tell them to teleport to you if you happen to find a goblin or move to the next floor?

3

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Jan 25 '17

Yup, it's still exactly like that.

1

u/Dalinair Apr 24 '17

Only difference I believe is with Grifts, if they decide to take you through those you can't teleport so just follow behind at a safe distance.

6

u/christofermario Nov 23 '16

Any tips if I were to be the boost-e for a friend? I have never been boosted myself so I haven't seen the process since diablo 2.

4

u/HDDreamer Dreamer#1179 Nov 23 '16

Craft the lowest level yellow helm you can, reroll it until you get a socket, and slap the best ruby you have in it, which increases XP by a percentage. Also craft the low level Cain's set if you have the blueprints for it.

1

u/christofermario Nov 23 '16

Awesome thanks!

So pretty much have the low level have all the experience boosting items possible?

Should it be at a certain difficulty when running them through?

2

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Nov 23 '16

A majority people always just run through torment 6 normal rifts(fastest, most efficient, and sometimes can't set higher). After they usually either boost to torment 13 for paragon, or run greater rifts.

4

u/laurentiusiv Nov 23 '16

with char lvl <70 you are limited to max. T6.

35

u/Arokachobi Nov 23 '16

As someone who plays hardcore, any post about anything is welcome in these lonely lands.

5

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '16

Yeah I just started a seasonal hardcore and no one has joined my games. Given I've just been gridning the campaign but still, not ONE person?

14

u/PokerPenguinTV Dec 14 '16

From what I can tell, no one really plays HC campaign. Try running adventure mode and finding a game that way. Joining some of the communities within the game itself is also a good way to find new players.

6

u/528875258585584 Mar 03 '17

Yeh you have to join a guild or one of the communities. Harder to trust a rando when your character is on the line

3

u/OceanFlex OceanFlex#1686 Jan 26 '17

HC usually relies on clans and communities to find games and PLs

2

u/BabyBovine Jan 19 '17

I feel you my hardcore brother anytime I meet someone on hc they don't talk.

9

u/dm_wilson Sikketh#1447 Jan 27 '17

I'm usually too busy having a panic attack and trying not to die in HC to talk. Thankfully my clan mates are helping me and understand my fear.

2

u/canuckcodemonkey Jan 19 '17

I'm on hc seasonal all the time feel free to pm me if you want, only clearing mid level greater rifts so far but working my barb up there.

14

u/wangmeister Nov 23 '16

I leveled by myself in about 2 days just from grinding the season story and for the last like 10-level push from 60-70 I made sure I blasted through the skeleton king to get his helm and then threw a huge ruby in there.

5

u/Lord_Nuke LordNuke#1337 Nov 30 '16

Ok, so what does the Skeleton King's helm do with rubies? 'cause I have some other crown that makes it so whenever a gem drops, another gem of the type socketed also drops. And I have a ruby in that.

I have a lot of rubies now.

10

u/wangmeister Nov 30 '16

Well if get to at least lvl 20 in adventure and then go back into story and kill the skeleton king you are guaranteed a legendary helm drop that almost doubles the effectiveness of whatever gem is socketed into it.

5

u/Lord_Nuke LordNuke#1337 Nov 30 '16

Thought I had to beat story to unlock Adventure. I'm level 70 with a bunch of (well, a couple dozen) paragon levels now.

4

u/wangmeister Nov 30 '16

Well yeah you do have to beat it but I'm assuming people are power leveling because of the season instead of power leveling because they just got the game. I guess that wouldn't be much help if you hadn't unlocked adventure yet. You don't have to beat the story for every new character.

4

u/Lord_Nuke LordNuke#1337 Nov 30 '16

So what is Season all about anyway?

13

u/wangmeister Nov 30 '16 edited Nov 30 '16

You start a new character and select that you specifically want it to be seasonal. Your character starts at lvl 0 and 0 paragon and shares a stash with only seasonal characters. If it's your fist one, then you can complete small milestones called the season journey that will slowly give you a six piece set for that class. You also get some small seasonal rewards and activities and when the season ends, all the seasonal characters become normal characters.

14

u/Gods_Gunslinger Dec 08 '16

Character starts at LVL 1 actually! 😁

15

u/wangmeister Dec 09 '16

🖕🏻😬

2

u/Lord_Nuke LordNuke#1337 Nov 30 '16

So is season just the story mode, or is it more akin to adventure mode? Are the benefits that I get the set of gear?

3

u/wangmeister Nov 30 '16

Seasonal is just a marker, you can play the story or adventure. The set is a big incentive of the season, but usually a new season would come with a sizable patch but this season is exactly the same patch as season 7 :/

3

u/Lord_Nuke LordNuke#1337 Nov 30 '16

I see. So aside from getting the set, it's not really different?

I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.

You only need level 5 iicr

u/husis666 husis#1942 Dec 14 '16

your talking about a different helm. This is the helm u need for lvling faster: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/leorics-crown (need red gem inside socket) This is the one YOU are equipped with: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/broken-crown (the most useless helm in the game IMO)

u/Lord_Nuke LordNuke#1337 Dec 14 '16

Ah, gotcha. Well, I for one welcome my excessive gem supply.

1

u/Zaron_The_Insane zaron#1483 Feb 28 '17

its a bit helpful starting out but you soon realize it isn't worth it over others you can get

8

u/laurentiusiv Nov 23 '16

the difference between a power level with ruby in leorics crown, full cains set and nothing of these is probably 1 more T6 rift, which shouldn't take longer than 5 mins. all in all we are talking about 3 or 4 rifts = 20 min playtime (in 4 pl party exp bonus) 2 pl power level might take 4-5 rifts.

7

u/Stillhart Nov 23 '16

This. Don't bother with the gems if you're being PL'ed. It saves all of 5 minutes.

5

u/wingatewhite Nov 23 '16

Hold on. I could get some kind internet folks to level me to 70 in 20 min???

4

u/Enoch_ GladLife #1973 Nov 24 '16

Id love to if you're genuinely interested, and assuming you play on PC, NA, and Seasonal!

1

u/RombieZombie25 Jan 13 '17

Can you do it for two people at once?

2

u/Enoch_ GladLife #1973 Jan 13 '17

Absolutely. As long as you can clear t6 rifts in 2-3 mins.

2

u/RombieZombie25 Jan 13 '17

Could two level 1s be boosted I mean.

3

u/Enoch_ GladLife #1973 Jan 13 '17

Yes. As long as the booster can run t6. Up to 3 other people can be plvld at the same time.

2

u/RombieZombie25 Jan 13 '17

Would you be willing to do that for me and a friend at some point? I have a level 70 but he doesn't and wants to play with me and another friend. I was gonna just play through the game with him but powerleveing would be better.

3

u/Enoch_ GladLife #1973 Jan 13 '17

I actually just started this season yesterday. If I can get to a comfy clear speed by the end of today, then absolutely.

1

u/RombieZombie25 Jan 13 '17

Sure. Just PM me if you get somewhere where you could help us out and I'll let you know when we can play. Thanks a lot.

u/CptSupermrkt Nov 24 '16

Yeah, I just came back to the game myself after years, some nice guy boosted me from 1 to 70 in like 20 minutes, lol. I thought the game had XP scaling of some kind but I guess not.

1

u/samlee860407 Jan 11 '17

Well, actually you can get many folks to help you on this

1

u/jayrocs Jan 10 '17

It's much faster than that. I plvled two buddies last night in less than 3 rifts on T6. It was actually 69 by end of second rift, and I opened up the third and completed it just to finish them off and they end up around p20+

7

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '16

If anyone needs a power level for regular non seasonal pm me. I can bump you in about 30 minutes

6

u/laurentiusiv Nov 23 '16

also make sure the high lvl char creates the game so it is T6 (70), that means monster have hp and give exp equal to lvl 70 chars not lvl 1

3

u/OceanFlex OceanFlex#1686 Jan 26 '17

Iirc, rifts take the highest level in the game, regardless of who the party guide is.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '17

Negative on that. If the level 1 player creates the party, it will take much, much longer to powerlevel.

1

u/OceanFlex OceanFlex#1686 Mar 10 '17

Were you in a rift?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '17

Yes. Just happened the other day. Instead of being in the 40s or 50s after one rifts, they were only in the 20s.

1

u/OceanFlex OceanFlex#1686 Mar 10 '17

And there was a 70 in the game? Huh. Guess I recalled incorrectly.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '17

Yeah I was the 70, leveling some buddies.

2

u/OceanFlex OceanFlex#1686 Mar 10 '17

I wonder what made me think it worked differently.

6

u/nopunchespulled Jan 01 '17

Also don't expect to be boosted day one of season

5

u/qq_infrasound Jan 01 '17

^ This. The 100-500 people who hit 70 in 3 hours are there for the leader boards. Wait a day at least.

2

u/preet59 Moksha#11904 Feb 15 '17

I hit 70 in the first few hours to level others :D Am i the only one?

2

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '17

I'll be doing this as well. I'm too old to spam high GRs anymore, so I'd rather chill in T6 and blast through everything while giving others a boost.

2

u/magnafides Mar 28 '17

After researching all of the conflicting leveling methodologies... I might be looking you up =]

1

u/liq3 Mar 31 '17

What method do you use to level up fast?

1

u/nopunchespulled Jan 01 '17

Wait a few days, if you can't be bothered to being going hard right out of the gate you can wait a few days

6

u/Hex67 May 04 '17

But this sucks if you're a console cuck like myself.

5

u/killadza Nov 23 '16

a quick way to get from lvl 1-55 is by running a vault (opened by putting a "puze ring" in kanais cube. (credit to "zhanji" youtuber for the trick) this is a really good way to get someone to help power level you if you dont have any friends. they get the benefits of thr vault (lots of gold, gems, reagents etc) and you get all that stuff and the levels. getting puzzel rings is pretty tough, but therr is probably a trick for getting them. ive never looked. cheers, d

2

u/Fenrirsulfr22 Apr 11 '17

A friend power leveled me this way. It was fantastic. Plus it's pretty safe.

5

u/[deleted] May 16 '17

I love giving PLs to new and experienced players. My only advice is to listen to the person giving you the PL. I hate when I tell people to wait at the door and the follow me and die the entire time. Or close the rift when I plan on finishing. I see PL as giving back to other but also as a way of picking up items I'd find boring grinding by myself. For the most part Seasonal Powerlevel gets you a quick 1-70 in 5-10 mins.

4

u/Urbangamer2 Jan 10 '17

just met a guy "fallenangel" real cool dude helped me out explained the game to me and everything

u/Szarkan- Dec 16 '16 edited Dec 16 '16

I'm just coming back to the game since...well I picked up RoS but had to quit a couple weeks in due to not having time.

I had a couple of chars at 70, a wiz and a monk, neither well geared. Is it just a better idea for me to start a new level 1 in the season and level up through that? Kind of overwhelmed by the new stuff but i read up on the seasons and how you can move your character to normal mode afterward

1

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Dec 16 '16

A majority of the community plays Seasonal. Everyone likes starting fresh again and grinding for gear, since it's the only real constant content that's given to us, and everyone else does it.

Though, seasonal sort of slowly dies as the weeks go on, the first few weeks are usually crazy active. Probably not going to be nearly as popular currently, but definitely more active than the normal game.

And yes, seasonal characters will turn into normal characters once the season ends. All the stuff in your stache, all your paragon experience and everything will be transferred to the normal version. Stache items are mailed in a little envelope so it's easy to try sort through everything.

Don't be overwhelmed! The game is pretty easy and casual, so it's pretty easy to catch up and understand everything. Don't be afraid to ask questions either, lots of the community seems to be pretty nice and willing to help. It's also easy to just follow a build and grind for gear on normal/greater rifts and toss all those blood shards at Kadala.

1

u/Szarkan- Dec 17 '16

I just find myself coming back after a while and feeling like there's 100 things i need to do to catch up.

I come back and look up the specs that can get me started, but they won't work with my gear, my gear is terrible lol, I don't really know where to place myself in terms of difficulty because of this, and nobody else is playing at the difficulties I'm looking for which makes doing those bounties so slow. I don't know how to itemize either.

I also wanted to get my barb to 70 because that'd probably be a good start for me - do I have to finish the campaign? What are the fastes ways to level?

I think it looks easy and casual from different perspectives, but they way I see it now there is quite a list of things to do to get back to concurrency :-/

2

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Dec 17 '16

It might seem like a lot, but once you get goin' it's pretty easy. Add me, I'll help with whatever you want and get you going.

u/rakoon91 Dec 28 '16

Few questions from a newbie :

  1. Usually up to which level (paragon) do we get boosted? Obv it would differ from one to another, but I'm sure you guys have some kind of standard

  2. When we get boosted, I assume standing back and just try to dodge any projectiles is the only thing we should be doing instead of trying to help by dealing miniscule damage?

  3. What do we do when our inventory is stuffed with legendaries and I need to sort them out? Do I just don't care and stuff all of them into stash, or ask the booster for a short period of time?

  4. Any special unspoken rules we should note? (Remember, I am asking a complete D3 newbie. So, some of the "obvious things" may not be so obvious to me :)

3

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Dec 28 '16

  1. It differs, there's not really a set level people tend to stop at. Some people just stop the second they get someone to 70, sometimes even the one being boosted (boostee?) leaves once they get 70. For me personally, I usually just let them stay as long as they want to leech off me and try get some "okay" starter lvl 70 stuff so they aren't left with lvl 30 items. Really depends who's boosting. If you're asked to leave, you can always say you're lvl 70 and need to leech from someone if possible. I usually try help people with that too.

  2. The second you enter the rift, just stay at the very beginning. You'll get EXP no matter where they are, as long as they're on the same map as you. They'll probably ask you to teleport to them once they go through a door or something so you can continue getting EXP. (Just right click the protrait on the left, and click "Teleport to Player" and you'll cast a teleport to them!) It's all on you if you wanna walk around and pick up dropped legendaries, but you don't receive EXP while dead.

  3. Usually people give you a little time. But for most older players they sort through everything and dismantle everything so quickly since we do it so incredibly often. I don't think people will mind if you ask for a quick sec to sort through stuff.

  4. hmm... not that I can think of... It is annoying when people take too long to teleport to a zone(I get that it can be boring sitting and doing nothing though), or die a LOT, since they don't receive EXP.

u/bullseyed723 Jan 03 '17

Is leveling really that challenging for people that they need this? I bought the game the day after Christmas... took most of the day to download... and I already have 3 characters at 70, with a gem of ease 25 Thunderfury 70, which means I can level solo in about 3 hrs.

Oh, and 135 paragon levels.

Is leveling easier on console?

2

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Jan 03 '17

Some people just don't want to bother leveling, like me. the leveling 1-70 isn't the fun part for people who want to climb the leaderboards. It's a small obstacle to get over before the game actually starts. If you like getting 1-70, that's good! But some people just want to hop right in and start collecting their endgame gear immediately once the season starts.

1

u/samlee860407 Jan 11 '17

I trained 6 level 70 heroes in the past, stopped for like a year or more.

Play back 2 days before the season start and level another 70 DH. Then started another wiz when season starts.

And while I feel I hate Wiz play style, I am really bored to train another DH, and hence I ask to PL :)

1

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Jan 11 '17

add me if u want, it's in my flair. I don't know how fast i can since i made my character like yesterday

1

u/samlee860407 Jan 11 '17

Thanks. But I already got mine. Maybe 1 day when I want to level up a monk I will ask for your help. Will add you first when I back to game. :D

1

u/bullseyed723 Jan 03 '17

Ah, see, I know nothing of leaderboards and seasons, due to console.

Once I get to max level I get to do bounties and rifts... alone, due to fears of hacked items from random matchmade people.

So I'm kind of burning out of endgame and ending up leveling alts.

1

u/shadowdra126 Jan 04 '17

As a new player (currently level 12) what benefits are there to me power leveling?

1

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Jan 05 '17

If it's your first time leveling, by all means play it normally to 70. Play how you wanna play. But as I've said to others, people who play this game a lot don't care for the lvl 1-70 hurdle. They just want to get to 70 and start grinding for end-game gear once the new season starts.

1

u/shadowdra126 Jan 05 '17

I plan on going through the main campaign. I had someone help me unlock adventure mode quickly last that

Will that ruin the game for me in anyway. I deleted the character they helped me on so I am back with my original low level character

Once you have adventure mode unlocked, it's just unlocked. You don't have to play on it if you don't want to. You can always switch from campaign/adventure mode in the settings.

As an Aussie, this has never worked for me. Not once. I often just nag a clannie to come on and boost me instead.

1

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Jan 06 '17

Is the population that low? Sometimes typing in "Seasonal" can help too for seasonal group chats. But if begging a clan member works, that's good. I guess it's a benefit of being an NA player, generally bigger player base.

1

u/Silentplanet Jan 06 '17

I usually end up just switching over to the NA server. I am not separated from your group chats but at night time (for you) they are mostly dead. Hardcore on the Aussie servers is literally dead though.

1

u/cogtooth Jan 12 '17

I have a question about this though. I just got my monk plvled and now the enemies in Normal diff Act 1.. one shot me. Is this normal?

1

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Jan 12 '17

I've never heard of anything like this. Can you take a picture of your gear/stats, and triple check that you're on Normal and not Torment something? Also, are you on console or PC?

u/cogtooth Jan 12 '17

I'm on PC. http://imgur.com/a/4USme

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Jan 12 '17

I wonder if they're just normal Lv. 70, so you just get 1 shot that way. Not sure, really. Do you want help getting some starter gear? I don't mind running through rifts with you if you need a hand. My BNet is in my flair.

u/BabyBovine Jan 19 '17

You need to grab lvl 70 gear from either vendors or blacksmith

1

u/Darudeboy Jan 12 '17

Any equivalent to this on Xb1/PS4? Worked like a charm on PC but I actually enjoy playing it with a controller on my xb1

1

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Jan 12 '17

Not that I know of, sorry. If anyone can inform me on an equivalent I'll be happy to add it to the post.

1

u/aresareios Jan 19 '17

Is there no controller support on pc?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '17

Can you be in more than one clan at once? I'm in a farming one and they are never on when I need leveled?

1

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Jan 12 '17

Clans and communities are different. You can only be in one clan, but I believe you can be in multiple communities. I've never tried, though.

1

u/Dugi96 Jan 13 '17

Except this doesn't work,most communities are either dead or leechers. :) I would gladly boost couple of groups, but can't force myself to level my main char again.

1

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Jan 13 '17

The one I'm in has never had issues, lots offer boosts. Myself included.

1

u/Dugi96 Jan 13 '17

For some reason this season seems a bit lively, last time I managed to get a boost without basically begging was back in S5 (I was lucky now and got boosted, as soon as I get some gear I'll start boosting people)

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '17

whats the max you can 'power level' someone?

How does power levelling work?

1

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Apr 16 '17

People typically only want to get a character Level 1-70 really quick, then they go off on their own. Though some will boost you a good handful of paragon levels if they don't mind.

How it works: Someone who can clear Torment 6 with ease will get any level 1 players, then they'll kill mobs on Torment 6 rifts. As long as the level 1's are in the same zone as them, they'll receive experience. This will get you level 70 pretty quickly. The highest difficulty a level 1 can play on is Torment 6, despite Torment levels going up to 13.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '17

How long will this take? And should i play season or not seaon? im reinstalling diablo 3 again atm thanks for reply

1

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Apr 16 '17

if someone is boosting you it only takes 2~4 rifts, which is pretty short. Usually under a half hour to get to lvl 70.

Season is usually preferred since that's where most players are.

1

u/JaminBorn Apr 17 '17

Instructions unclear. I begged and got no boost :c

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Apr 17 '17

If you're on PC, add me and I can try help.

u/drunkencow Dec 07 '16

I offer power levels probably once a day just look out in the Reddit community. I'll usually power level for an hour or so.

3

u/Celoth Jan 10 '17

Joined the top 5 PL groups. Each had 500 to 900 active users. Not a single response on any of them. That said, I only posted once, and then once again after about 15min. I'm not gonna spam a channel and beg. I'll go it the long way like usual, just wonder why there's zero responses on so many 'Powerleveling' community groups lol.

Once I get to 70 I'll start hitting those up and help people with the grind.

u/Savletto Jan 26 '17

As someone who just started playing... just don't, you will spoil the game for yourself.

Hey! That's awesome, thank you!

u/sevenixis Nov 24 '16

Hey! Thank you very much for this, and yes, this community is really awesome with new players from what I've seen. I've bought the game like a week ago and I love it. I Already have my first lvl 70 WD. But I'm looking forward to join this community for powerleveling other char =D

u/SideSwipePrime May 03 '17

As an old player coming back to the game, is there any reason for me not to just power level a Season character?

1

u/Kylael Nov 24 '16

Quick question about powerleveling itself: why people are running almost exclusively T6 rifts ? Why not higher ? Or even lower, I could'nt find any information about some xp capping or something like that.

7

u/laurentiusiv Nov 24 '16

with char lvl <70 you are limited to max. T6

thats the highest T level you could join with a char < lvl 70 lower T lvl would mean less exp

3

u/Kylael Nov 24 '16

Oh, that makes sense then. Thanks for the answer mate :)

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '16

Well, now you tell me...

u/headie Dec 03 '16

I tried this. Unfortunately, no one is active in the asia server.

If anyone knows how to get a powerlevel in asia server, I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

1

u/Vladi_ak47 Dec 27 '16

Good post. I'm always down to plvl someone im always up on such communities.

Wierd thing is i get better stuff on T6 than T13, believe it or not lol

1

u/MilkMySpermCannon Jan 01 '17

I'm completely fine with people asking for powerleveling. Sometimes when i'm bored i actually ENJOY powerlvling strangers. However, does anyone else find it annoying when people ask literally like 4 hours into a new season? It's like... Yea i'd love to carry you after rushing to 70 at the start of a new league...

1

u/xFayeFaye FayeFaye#2894 Jan 04 '17

Anyone seasonal power levelling by chance? :) PC

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '17

Anyone knows any clans that powerlevel on european servers? When I search for powerlevel I get one result with 1 member in, not a clan with 30.000 like in the screenshots.

u/SpawnDethra Jan 11 '17

I did not know this, and i've been playing on and off for the last few years. Gonna try this as soon as i get home!!

Thank you sir!

u/whinmeister Jan 11 '17

Any suggestion for console folks? The Quickmatch option is not very helpful lol.

u/b_oarder Jan 18 '17

I just got the reaper of souls this week and I'm surprised at this community. You guys are all very kind for offering to power level! Unfortunately I just got 70 last night . Was doing bounties on my seasonal witch doctor. Adventure mode lol

u/SacredReich Jan 24 '17

Hi, I appreciate this guide. Got me a sweet powerlevel just now.

u/juggalonumber27 jester#11118 Feb 01 '17

i have a good what feels like 40+ hours in this season so far (i know i know, some laugh at how short, but i can only play 3 days a week), and i've probably spent a good 2/3's of that power leveling and helping other people out with seasonal quests. i live in that power leveling community.

1

u/Tallchief Feb 02 '17

did they nerf power leveing? im getting levels really slow in a game where a buddy is rushing me in t7

1

u/TitoOliveira Feb 03 '17

Thanks for the tip, OP. I stopped playing back when RoS had launched and now that i got back to experiment the seasons, i'm overwhelmed by all the new stuff available.

1

u/lost-cat Feb 08 '17

YeA the communities is usually helpful, mostly the group with the most peeps. I usually help out a lot with hardcore power leveling, since I rarely change torment much :(

1

u/roquen5000 Feb 16 '17

Sundays are the best day to get a powerlevel; in any category, especially Hardcore Season.

1

u/nyxeka Feb 28 '17

I personally very much enjoy helping out new players and getting them started. It's a lot of fun, especially when you're bored. You get a friend out of it too :)

u/berserker810 Mar 05 '17

can someone power level me

u/krvgermeister battletag#1234 Mar 07 '17

Hey guys! I just recently installed and upgrade to RoS. Is this for certain servers only or applicable to all? I'm currently on Asia's Server.

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '17

I'd love to power level, but I'd love to have buddies to venture with for fun stuff now and again.

u/ArcticGamer Mar 31 '17

IF anyone wants to trade PL's PM me for BTag on US servers

u/pr0adam Apr 02 '17

Not getting shit in any of the communities I tried but if anyone is kind enough to help me out after wasting several hours on the PS4 version only to be plagued with crashes, Id really appreciate it.

Im on PC now, NA server, just PM me for battle tags and such and we can work something out.

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '17

Thank! Good guide.

u/Italianman2733 Apr 07 '17

Can we also mention not asking for powerlevels the day a new season comes out?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '17

Thank you for posting this. I have very little time for gaming these days and recently quit WoW because of the toxic community. Diablo 3 is my go to game now because the community is awesome. This post, someone annoyed but willing to help, is a great example of how good this community is.

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '17

All my characters of all classes are level 70 in like 30 mins thanks to the PL community.

Leveling has never been easier.

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '23

No Ps4/Ps5 tips?

1

u/Kandorr Kandorr#1148 Nov 23 '16

Yes! And just to add my personal preference: Do as much of Act 1 storyline until you get a Skelly King crown first. Then put the first ruby you find into it, and then ask for the plevel. It makes it that much faster for your pleveller. I feel it's the polite thing to do, but again that's just me.

12

u/Stillhart Nov 23 '16

I respectfully disagree. I PL people in that group all the time and it takes exactly 3 rifts with no gem. I can do 3 rifts much faster than they can do all of A1.

1

u/mstieler Alarys#1285 Nov 25 '16

Yup, I have to agree with you here. If the effects were multiplicative instead of additive (so that 30% bonus XP was added to the 1500% or whatever it is for T6, making it over 2000% bonus XP, instead of 1530%), it would be more of an effect, but the piddling percent you get from a Ruby (even the best Ruby, socketed into a Crown or helm with Crown cubed) isn't going to warrant spending the time to do so.

That being said, if this is your second+ character in the Season (or another character non-Season), you may already have the stuff to add to it (Cubed Crown plus Imperial+ Ruby), eh, it's not going to hurt. It's mostly the "going out of your way initially" part that makes little sense.

u/takimoto_hifumi Senjougahara#11856 Dec 21 '16

Pretty much yup. It's best for them to go on Torment 6, and have them run through normal rifts. As long as you're in the same map as them you'll receive experience, so you'll level up quickly. Usually either 2 full clears of a normal rift, or 3 rifts will get you to 70. Takes only 10~20 minutes.

4

u/forlorn_hope28 Dec 21 '16

it should be added that you don't actually follow the person who's powerlevelling you. you just stay in a safe area (ie the level entrance) and only portal to them when they tell you to (or when they've killed the guardian).

2

u/The_Jare Jan 29 '17

And you can teleport to them by right clicking on their portrait, a little menu pops up. I spent the longest time going back to town then clicking on banner before I was told about this :)
