Is power leveling still viable?

Just curious if this can still be done in a reasonable amount of time? Call me lazy and judge all you want, but I barely have time post on here let a lone play GW. I just wana test out the dervish update without playing through the whole campaign for the 6th or 7th time in a few years.

So if it can be done, whats the best way to do it? Thanks.

In Nightfall, Factions, and Eye of the North (accessible at level 10), pretty much all normal gameplay will get you to 20 as fast as you could find, connect with, and wait for a "power leveler". It's probably still doable, but no one really does it because of how short it takes to get to max these days.

If you're wanting to try out the Dervish changes, just make a PvP Dervish. After all, if you don't have time to play at all, even enough to get to level 20, you won't be in a place to get very many skills or even fight anything challenging.

Get a ferry to Cantha. Grab all the courier quests in Kaineng City and you will be level 18-20 in about 30 minutes. This doesn't help you get into the rest of Nightfall easier however, for that you still need to sit through the pain of Istan. The good news is if you level up high enough you can skip the first Sunspear grind (it gets you off the island without needing any points) but you won't be able to enter Vabbi without the second Sunspear grind.

Alternatively at level 10 you can go to Eye of the North without finishing Istan. You will have your stats buffed to a level 20 toon and be able to experience all of EotN's content as if you were level 20, including the greater experience rate.

Kill wurms outside boreal station with some ranged weapon with degen on hard mode. Will level you pretty well, about 370 exp per kill

Do Killroy Stoneskin's Punchout Extravaganza. There is no faster way to gain experience and get to level 20. You will be level 20 in like and hour.

And if you don't mind putting out the cash for lightbringer scrolls it will be even faster.

Lightbringer scrolls are XP scrolls, they have nothing to do with the Lightbringer title (other than that they come from Coffers of Whispers).

I would also vouch for going into EotN and start boxing at level 10, it is ridiculously fast.
