This is my first guide, besides that crappy hypothetical one about a javazon specializing in passive and magic skills. I wrote it because I've heard many people ask what the best way to level thier character is. I hope that it helps clear up how to most efficiently level a character. There are two parts -

1. The Bug Rush (refered to as g-rush)

2. Classic


This is certainly the most efficient way to level a character. It works by getting to choas runs at a level well below 40, via avoiding doing the ancients quests. One major bonuses to this technique are the speed at which you can level your character. Many people think that you save your normal and nightmare ancients quest for when you are a very high level, thus giving much much more free expirience then they would give you if you did them at a regular level. This is not true, as I myself recently found out. I tried to do my normal ancients quest on my level 88 hammerdin, and it said the quest was finished but i didnt gain any level. I'm not sure what the cutoff for using ancients is, but I assure you chaosing is an extremely fast means of leveling, anyways.

Steps
1. Have someone to rush you from act1 to act5 normal.
2. Make a Baal for quest game, such as 'BAAL 4 Q FAST'.
3. Have the rusher go to the Throne of Destruction, and tp for the rest of the party. The rest of the party must have already done the ancients quest. Meanwhile, you wait in town.
4. After killing the minions, have the rusher, and at least one of the people in your party who need the quest, go into the Worldstone Chamber and kill Baal. You will get the quest, because someone else in your party who needed the quest got it. Leave the game, and you will become a 'slayer'.
5. Have someone rush you act1 to act5 nightmare.
6. Make a Baal for quest game, such as 'BAAL 4 Q FAST'.
7. Have the rusher go to the Throne of Destruction, and send a TP for the rest of the party. The rest of the party must have already done the ancients quest. Meanwhile, you wait in town.
8. After killing the minions, have the rusher, and at least one of the people in your party who need the quest, go into the Worldstone Chamber and kill Baal.
You will get the quest, because someone else in your party who needed the quest got it. Leave the game, and you will become a 'champion'. The person or people who were in your party and went into the Worldstone Chamber for you is refered to as the person you gliched off of.
9. Have someone rush you act1 to act5 hell.
10. Have someone chaos (chaos means a high level character teleports to the Chaos Sanctuary, and sends a TP for all the lower level characters in the game. Everyone follows the chaoser around until its all clear of monsters, then he kills Diablo, and makes a new game. There should be plenty of chaos games in hell difficulty to join. Usually, hammerdins or light sorceresses make the best chaosers.) you until you are around level 75.
11. Then it is time to do hell ancients, then Baal runs until your char is leveled as you see fit.
12. Finally, after your character is as high of a level as you care to get him through baal runs, kill normal and nightmare ancients, thus adding two levels to your current one.


This is the, well, classic way to level a character. It is much slower than g-rushing, but its still fairly efficient and provides people to glich off of for those g-rushers. There is nothing wrong with the good old fashioned way.

STEPS
1. Clear out the Den of Evil.
2. Do Tristram runs until you are level 15.
3. Do Tomb runs until you are level 20.
4. Do Cow Runs until you are level 24.
5. Do normal Ancients.
6. Do normal Baal runs until you are level 40.
7. Get rushed from nightmare act1 to act5.
8. Do nm Ancients.
9. Do nm Baal runs until you are level 65.
10. Get rushed from hell act1 to act5.
11. Do hell Ancients.
12. Do hell Baal runs until your character is leveled to where you see fit.

Thank You,

killing normal and nightmare ancients will not automatically give u an extra two levels if ur level is high

slashbomb

or... for all otehr chars then Assasins or Druids.

Get rushed in classic then convert to expac to skip norm and nm ancients/baal and then l8r do for extra xp or help some1 for that qwest. Then you can just do Chaos to lvl up fast
