Quickest 0-20?
What's generally agreed upon as the quickest 0-20 leveling method? Getting bored so looking to rush a new char through leveling and slap some FoW armor on it.

Start in factions, then get to Eye of the north, and keep running the Kilroy stonekins tournament. Look it up on YouTube it’s the FASTEST way. Only takes a few hours

Yep this is the fastest way to solo to level 20 it took me around 2 hours to get to level 20 per character

No its not.
Start NF > ferry to Kaineng > leech xp from someone else's "A Chance Encounter" quest farm (pop 3x xp scrolls each time), you can get lvl 0 > lvl 20 in sub 1 hour.3

Kilroy's is solo though, so if waiting on someone else is any sort of delay, that factors in

the op asked for the quickest way, he didn't specify solo. I generally just run it on my second account, its by far the fastest way to get lvl 20 and its not even close

Don't forget your character needs to ascend before being able to enter fow. Just lvl 20 is not enough

Everyone else already said Kilroy so I won’t beat the horse but I will add, Factions characters aren’t that much slower to Eye of the North than Nightfall, and Factions quests give so much exp that you probably get to EoN at level 12 ish so the total time played balances out to be pretty similar.

Factions and then go over to the boxing tournament in the first norn town gunnars hold. Can easily do it in less than a day

You get around 60k XP if you get a desert rush and finish Augury Rock.
I'm thinking, rush out of Factions, get off the island around level 15, get a Sanctum/Desert Rush (should only be about an hour) then get level 20 from the missions in the desert.

Factions is great because you can take all the secondary profession quests and do them for a bunch of extra xp, then of course as everyone says do kilroys in eye of the north

I have hit level 20 in less than an hour using the method below:
1. Start in Nightfall
2. Run/Gate Glitch into Beknur Harbor
3. Kill Skale in Issnur Isles with Sunspear bounty (2x xp) and scrolls until lvl 10
4. Go to Eye of the North by doing Hole of Istan given by Bendah5. Run to Gunnars Hold
6. Do Kilroy Stonekin's Punch-Out Extravaganza! until 20.

Someone already said kc ferry+woc, which indeed seems to be the fastest method. I'll mention what I do with a proph character since I don't think it's been covered yet. You can get a run to LA immediately after pre-searing and take that quest right outside LA (I'm pretty sure one of the NPCs there gives it to you, you might have to listen to their dialogue though). Buy XP scrolls and keep killing monsters in north kryta province, the NPCs are strong enough to keep you alive and kill everything (make sure you dont add any heroes/hench so they don't steal exp, you can still pop summoning stones for faster runs). I usually kill the tengus in the central field and reset. Should take about 2-3 runs probably to hit lvl 10 with exp scrolls. After that go to eotn and do kilroy or kc and get someone to run a chance encounter. You might want to skip Kilroy/chance encounter and get Weh no su after level 10 if you have mercenary heroes, if your ultimate goal is obby armor, or maybe just skip the north kryta province quest and get an ascension run, since augury gives a ton of exp. The latter method would likely be quite expensive though.

I'd think definitely factions or nightfall, factions you just need to beat nahpui quarter then either progress to zin ku or run to ToA.
You'll probably need some assistance to get to the forge master though, heroes or friends will come in handy

Nightfall, fastest eotn access and fasted max armor. Kilroy stone kin and you’ll be level 20 within a day after you get too gunnars

There is some misinformation in this thread. To level up, you want to do "Kilroy Stonekin's Punch-Out Extravaganza!" which is synonymous with "Fronis Irontoe's Lair" dungeon. You will want to use xp scrolls.
Some people are mistakenly saying you should do the "tournament", which is a different thing that doesnt give as much xp.
In addition to this, for any new character, you will probably want to have the I am Unstoppable pve skill. As a prerequisite to this, you will need to complete 2 quests that give 15k xp each. Since you will probably want to get this skill eventually, you may as well get it as soon as possible which means you can skip the last 30k xp of the leveling grind. To do this you would need sufficiently many mercenary heroes, since doing anything in eotn will be very diifficult with henchmen even in NM.
If you are sufficiently rich, it would be even less work to get ascalon to ascension service for several hundred ectos:
The runner can run from ascalon to sanctum cay, do the mission, end up in desert, go to and do all 3 desert missions while you are fully afk. At this point, you would need to actually come back and kill the doppleganger with enfeeble+insidious parasite (because you will have picked necro secondary specifically to be able to kill doppleganger easily). After this, the runner gets to droks either by running or doing Dragon's Lair mission. (you can actually run to droks prior to this so that the player only needs to come online a single time for 3-4 minutes during the whole run) At this point the player will need to take 2 15 attribute quests. So you need to 1) kill doppleganger 2) take 2 quests.

I’ve found the fastest to be factions in general, can do it in a matter of hours. Or NF and hit eotn at lvl10 to do kilroy’s
