O urcare reala pana la 99
Pe LastLegends2 nivelurile se castiga. Dupa estimarile noastre, facute cu datele reale ale monstrilor, ca sa duci un personaj de la 1 la 99 iti trebuie sute de ore de joc: in jur de 600 pentru cine joaca eficient.
Estimare orientativa: depinde de echipament, clasa si de cum joci.

A real climb to 99
On LastLegends2, levels are earned. From our estimate, based on real monster data, taking a character from 1 to 99 takes hundreds of hours: around 600 for someone who plays efficiently.
This is an indicative estimate: it depends on gear, class and how you play.

Levelling areas
