maybe 4-6months? Depending on how much you play. Here's how I would do it for an NL, it's a mix of both washing+not washing. I feel this is the most cost-effective time/meso, and should be minimal leaching. Have 120 int per lvl after lvl 50. so adding up your int gear+base int, try to equal 120 at level 50. Level up in parties as much as possible using your bishop for HS, a party of 4+ is crazy exp and much faster than leeching. (my best record for party grind is on my MM, I did jr newtie sniping in a party of 4, 70-80/10 levels in 1 hour) Don't wash any HP yet! Get to 120 Start all your pre-quests for bosses and skill books, and SAVE YOUR AP from level up now. Once you finish that, do your Ruel's Daily quest until you hit the unlimited cap and it's daily only. Then do Fairy 500hp quest Then start your Olaf questline and start washing your fresh level-up AP into HP wash your base int to 4 at 135 As you level from 135-200 use your fresh AP to HP wash, and try to int equip every level This order is essential to maximize the efficiency in doing your Ruel's hp quest unlimited times per day until you hit the limit After all of that, you should be around 12-13k HP at 135. Olaf will give you another ~2k hp as you level to 200, the daily hp quest 1k per month if you're consistent, and washing every level up to boost your gains. Hope that helps!
Yes, my nl is unwashed 17k - did it without olaf quests (werent available when I played) and HP quests were giving 15 hp avg instead of 35 like today
Here's the average natural, no HP gear/quest, HP for NL. 120:4633 140: 5073 160: 5513 180: 5953 200: 6393 Water of life gives +500hp Elixir of life gives +1k hp/month after the repeatable to 9.5k quests You can use this as a base to how much more time you need from questing and gears.
absolutely, I'm a 180+ marksman and I have around 16k HP just by questing. I'm also super inactive from time to time so it hasn't been a hell of a grind.
