It's about 2 hours from level 1 to level 60 as a grindmage with vera wa 2 + Deja Vu + greensoles + tactician + Rebia Grindmage + brainfood.
More if you're competing for spawns. Less if you have dummies you can place on the downtime post level 45 (usually 55+). Over the past 3 days, I went through about 11 LEs. If I decided to use the build I planned for the character for each LE, it would have taken exponentially longer than the (effective) 26 hours it did to finish LEing-- likely somewhere in the 5-6 hour range per LE.
The grind is awful man. The grind is so awful. I understand LEing is a core component of the game, and (generally) how Dev makes a bit of money from donations (Brain Food. Fruits of Fluidity so you can avoid having to regrind to change your stats).. but the fact that if you want to have your character be a crafter? You have to do at least 1 LE. If you want to be able to get a free 50~70 hp.. you have to LE multiple times to save on stat points invested. Etc etc.
The entire system feels scuffed, and there generally is very little RP that actually goes into the grind. If I saw someone in Lava Lake? It was a quick "Hey you want help?" "Sure." invite to the party and tell them to just end turn constantly so I can mass-murder enemies with 0 recourse because I, as a water grind mage, did it better than they could. Walking for the grind also means that the party leader has to stop every time they want to talk.
There are a lot of things that are frustrating / annoying with the Grind, and generally speaking. I'd love if we got more Legend Inks that are easily accessible to cut down on the number of grinds we have to do. Or Korvaran-Only Legend Extending gave 3-4 inks, rather than two.
Literally anything to make the grind better.
