Guild Levelling rates, time to reach level 2?

[Arinnaya]

So I'm aiming for server first level 85 (shaman at least) and obviously the guild level 2 perk (5% extra xp from mobs and quests) is obviously going to be fairly useful, just wondering if there's any chance this perk will become active before I hit 85?

it should not take long at all if its more than just you leveling in your guild

3 days (if 600k cap per day still holds)

Maybe but I doubt it. The daily cap on guild xp is about 33% of a level per day. The only thing that ignores this cap is guild achievements. So it is possible, but for most guilds it will likely be 3 days before they hit level 2. If you are going for a server first of any kind, you need to be done way before that to even have a chance.

the guild xp required for level 2 is 16580k guild xp with a daily limit of 6246k guild xp so you will be gaining at best just under 40% of the possible xp required each day so unless you take 3 days its not going to help

There is a 6,246k XP cap per day and you need 16,580k xp to hit guild level 2. So theoretically you can hit level 2 on the 3rd day.

HOWEVER guild achievements do not count towards that cap so any achievements earned get you closer to level 2 quicker. some quick achievements to do are running Wrath heroics as a guild group (min 4 people from guild), that gets you XP (as the mobs are level 80+) gets you guild XP (from your XP from killing mobs), gets you guild XP from achievements (that doesn't count towards the cap) and gets you higher rep with the guild for participating in a guild achievement.

So the fastest way to Guild level 2 and the +5% XP for your character levelling is to run the Wrath heroics as a guild group. They should be super fast as you know them backwards and massively out gear them but they should give similar XP to killing Mount Hyjal/Vash'nir mobs.

BTW before anyone posts about dungeon XP being nerfed that was for up to level 60 dungeons for levelling, NOT Northrend dungeons.

Note that the servers start at midnight and the daily quest/rep limit resets at 3am (at least it does in EU). So you have 3 hours to reach the daily cap of 6,246k before the cap is reset and you can do another 6,246k ie: in first 27hours you can do 12,492k xp and be just 4,088k short. It MIGHT be possible to gain that amount of XP from guild achievements in that time.

If you were able to do 6,246k in 3 hours and 6,246k on "next day" in 3 hours or less (ie: by 6am) and you get 4,088k from guild achievements in that time it is possible you could get Guild level 2 before people login in the morning.
