How long does it take to get to level 50 in raid?
As a longtime Raid player and content creator, I‘ve helped countless players optimize their teams for campaign, dungeons, arena, and events. Now folks often ask: how long will it take to reach the max player level 50?
Short answer if you‘re not spending a dime: 6-12 months.
It‘s a massive grind – but also a badge of honor for the devoted Raid fan. Let‘s break down what it takes!
The Hard Numbers
First, just how much XP are we talking?
Over 11 million required for level 50, as this table shows:
| Level | Total XP |
| 1 | 0 |
| 25 | 608,394 |
| 50 | 11,186,394 |
So essentially 176 million accumulated XP! A massive mountain to climb. How can we get there efficiently?
Dailies, Dungeons, and other Secrets
Naturally we want to farm campaign battles which offer reliable XP. But there are other shortcuts…
- Max energy – upgrade buildings, great hall, and player level for more uptime here.
- Monthly quests – snag those juicy XP boosts from logging in and activities.
- Clan Boss and dungeons – a trickle of XP that adds up.
- Events – sometimes Plarium blesses us with 4x campaign XP events!
Pooling all these sources, an efficient regular player can expect 1-1.5 million XP daily. Not a huge amount in context of 176 million needed – so this won‘t be quick!
The Campaign Grind
Running campaign stages over and over…and over. This will be your bread and butter.
But where to farm? Here‘s a comparison:
| Stage | Energy / Run | Runs Needed | Total Energy |
| 12-5 (Normal) | 8 | 10,235 | 81,880 |
| 12-3 (Hard) | 16 | 5,120 | 81,920 |
As you can see, running Hard 12-3 is slightly more energy efficient. Plus you‘ll get better item drops to equip your champions!
Either way, that‘s well over 160 hours of repetitive farming. Are you still committed reaching level 50? Let‘s continue!
Putting it All Together
Combining daily activies yielding over 1 million XP, plus hours of campaign grinding every day…a reasonable timeline is:
- 6 months – for very active players putting in 4+ hours daily
- 12 months – for regular but dedicated players putting in 1-2 hrs daily
Of course, buying XP boosts in the store will dramatically speed this up. But as a purist chasing level 50 with no money spent…brace yourself for a long journey!
Is it Worth the Hassle?
Reaching player level 50 in Raid is a marathon, not a sprint. You‘ll pour months of farming into it. Likely go through tons of brews and refills. Maybe even burn out…
…but hitting that max level will give you a profound sense of satisfaction.
Plus you‘ll reap sweet rewards like:
- 400 item slots
- 2 extra artifact sets per champion
- Flexing rights over your clanmates
Most importantly, you prove through dedication and perseverance you have the chops to conquer any dungeon, campaign boss, tournament, or future content in Raid!
So keep grinding my friends…level 50 awaits the bold few who dare to go the distance. I‘ll be max level right there with you soon!
