It depends on how much effort you put into it. With a cycle of gather coins then buy prot and stone skins and then kill mobs for 200-300sh with merc you can rank anyone. Now there are very specific setups such is drow 42 mage outlander where life can be hard but even there with hea heal and AI and shield and wands you can still rock 200sh mobs. Obviously it is not fast but there is always a way. Your life may be pita fir a while but then you gravy train heralds at 44 and bam you are a hero. I am lately trying not to rank and find that rather hard with all the incidental xp but that's just me probably. One more thing. Don't use any qhcf wiki ranking areas. Or use places like Azreth with your evil char. Don't be easy to find.
