With The Elder Scrolls Online embargo lifted and the beta in full swing now, we’ve been hearing more and more reports from beta testers about their experiences with progression and levelling up.
The upcoming MMORPG currently has a level cap of 50, with playtesters indicating that reaching that mark will take anywhere between 50 and 150 hours of time investment...

A Tamriel Founder writer and Reddit user who described his play-style as “casual but heavy-use” claimed the big 5-0 had taken him 144 hours over 4 weeks, but also suggested that those more committed to levelling might achieve that goal in significantly less time. This was backed up by reports from some that they had reached the goal in 70-80 hours by skipping dialogue with NPCs and avoiding being completionist.
There is also some indication that - as in World Of Warcraft - character choice might play some role in levelling speed. Reddit user morkulth and experienced MMORPG player, who cited a 54 hour level-cap time for The Elder Scrolls Online, said that choosing to be a sorcerer had aided his levelling thanks to a “lightning form” morph that increased movement speed by 35%.
"So point of the fact is that you can zig zag back and forth across the level 15+ zones very quickly as a sorcerer,” he claimed. “Almost all of the [Aldmeri Dominion] story quests shoot right down the middle of the zone and you can complete it once you hit it. I actually had to skip about 1/2 the zone because leveling was so quick.”
If The Elder Scrolls Online creative director Paul Sage is to be believed, 150 hours will be a fraction of what many will be able to do in the game. He has estimated previously that the title will take the fastest players 150 hours, saying that once players have acces to areas belonging to other alliances they will experience up to 450 hours of solid questing before even tentatively getting involved with PvP.
