Question: How long did it take you to UAX one of your characters?
Jimyd
Basically what was your /age when you did it a and was your Proffesion.
No need to give builds, and this is for PvE characters.
I curently havent UAX any of my chars, but im getting close with my ELE. =)

Noob question: what is UAX?

UAX is a full set of unlocks, I'm assuming they are including runes and mods.
Most people don't UAX a single character, mainly because it is easier to do it per account. My account is missing only the warrior elites from factions. Last time I looked I think I had clocked a bit over 1000 hours.

2200 hours and no UAX yet...no money to buy cap sigs XD

A long, long time
Haven't achieved it yet and wouldn't mind finding out how you'd do that on one character, with all the rune unlocks and weapon unlocks.

To get all the rune and mod unlocks, it is best to do it with Balth Faction. So unlock and cap all skills on one char, and then use Balth Faction for the rest.
Since rune and mod unlocks are account based, unless you only have one pve character, you can't garantee that all you unlocks have been on one character.
Besides, it's cheaper to get the skills unlocked on multiple characters. Especially if you have multiple Prophecies characters.

I UAX'd my account on 7/13 at 1,233 hours 43 minutes over 14 months.
779,500 Balth Faction was used, rest were skill/rune/weapon unlocks/caps etc.

UAX implies that you've unlocked your entire account - skills, items and all.
It took me somewhere around 1000 hours I think.

I think Prophacies took 300-400 hours to UAX, and Factions took considerably less 50-100ish.

Something like 1500 hours I believe on my warrior for Factions and Prophecies. Might've been 1400, didn't really keep track. Mind you, I had UAX for Prophecies for some time; there was that waiting period of several months waiting for Factions to come out.

Ah i guess i worded it wrong, i meant how long did it take you to get alll non elite and elite skills unlocked for 1 character in PvE.
I got about a 650 hours and am getting close with 1 char, maybe 3/4 the way.
I know it isnt too hard to uax for pvp, because i have done that with multipel proph characters. (Free skill quests are wonderful.)
So ya thats what i meant.

My point still stands though. I don't know how many players actually bother getting full unlocks for one character. I only worry about trying to get all primary and secondary so that I have a full account unlock.
There are a few around Guru though that I think have managed this. Pretty sure Avarre has on her mesmer. In fact I would be surprised if she/he hasn't.

I maxed out my necro a week or two ago. I already had all the elites and I decided to go buy the remaining necro skills. He's only 6 months old (and my oldest character).

Hockster
My primary account is UAXed, without using any faction at all. I never PvP so it doesn't matter anyway.
bow user thing
My war was UAX in about 5 months before factions then when it came out it took me a bit to get the Am Fah aggroed so I just got quivering blade yesterday.(all non elite+elite skills)
My monk took me 1 month to get all skills on both chapters(non elite + elite).
My ele took 2 months to get everything unlocked.(non elite + elite)
My mes has 5 more elites to go and then Ive got to spend some money on normal skills and take some time to get skill points for normal skills, only have to beat thunderhead and the rest of the missions though.
My ranger has 5 elites to go and a ton of normal skills.
But my account has been UAX for about one and a half months now.

Do you mean getting all skills on one character or just all unlocks for the account? Just the class skills or all 8 professions?
I'm so close with my Monk.. Got all prophecies and factions skills for all 8 professions except for about 1/3 of the assassin non-elites, along with all other unlocks (not just skill unlocks, but actually getting all the skills for that PvE character to use). I'm at 1665 hours, although getting all unlocks has not been a primary focus, just something to do with all my extra skill points. For the most part, the only Balthazaar faction I've used was for some of the weapon upgrades, but mostly unlocked from PvE (I've used less than 100k faction). The hardest part for getting all skills for one character is getting all the skill points.. It takes somewhere around 10 million XP to get enough skill points for all skills.

About 1800 hours for full mesmer (all skills) unlock, as well as runes etc... Racthoh beat me but he can farm easier D:
It needs about 9m, maybe less, considering the huge numbers of free skill points in factions, to get all skills.

Took me 3 months to get all skills for my Warrior, which is the only char I've ever completly unlocked (well one proffesion of it) and then came Factions.
fallot
Less than a week on my Assassin.
CHUIU
Took my rit 3 days to get all skills and beat the game.
Took my sin about 6 days to get all skills and beat the game (little harder with him because he was unlocking 2 professions for me).
UAX'ed my account sometime in early June. Like the 10th or something. I capped my last elite (making all skills unlocked for all professions) a few days earlier and unlocked my last few mods and runes for assassin the days after.
Make no mistake, its faster to unlock stuff with PvE characters.
