Having just powerleveled a friend to 20, I can attest to the sheer insanity of the task. It did take less than 3 regular days of gaming, but more than one.

I would assume he has no job (not a criticism, just a matter of necessity to pull this off). I can attest you could get a character to level 20 in one day of gaming, I was able to get a character to 16 on a day when my car was in the shop.

If nothing else, it's definitely a much faster way to get Radiant materials at the moment, but seven or eight hours of work just for a Raid Run is so ridiculous, that this guy probably needs an intervention...

Either an intervention, or employment :-p

I'm guessing he vaulted all the gear to get them to the appropriate light level. Only have to have one set of appropriate gear between all 5 characters.

Yeah, that's why I said he had to get them to 20 (So they could even wear the Main's vaulted armor). The other part is that you need three armor drops from the raid, which aren't a guarantee, and even so, three runs could have given him three Chest armors, so he'd have to wipe them and start two new characters to get the Gauntlets/Legs.

-It takes a minimum of six hours to get to 20 through Crucible/Story missions. With two alts, that's anywhere from 12-15 hours of nonstop gaming to level them up high enough to wear the Main's gear.

-Have to run the raid.

-Hope that you get the correct armor pieces or shards.

It's still crazy, just slightly less crazy.

Here's how he did it:

3 Warlocks, each run the raid. Delete two, and re-level to 20, and run the raid again. Repeat.

... All to hit one level higher on a single character.

See Bungie? No matter what you do, people will try to find ways around it.

That's like saying "They put a roadblock on my way home, so I just drove around the planet to get to it from the other side. SURE SHOWED THEM!"

You're making idiotic statements again, Cody. Stop it.

A. How does that even work.
B. Is there some incentive for deleting a character?

I'm guessing it's because new characters can run the the raids again and receive rewards again, whereas usually you'd have to wait until the following week after a completion.

Funnel all drops from the constantly new alternate characters to the main never deleted one.

Not my idea of fun, but it's a loophole for those eager/desperate enough.

D. Why Warlocks...
E. Is there an insta-everything shortcut that I'm missing here?
F. I think Bungie wanted us to hit 32. It might be even more, come the Wolves.

From what I've heard, that's how we got the first 30 as well.
