Dungeon hack you level up faster, Gygaxan module he wrote is generous with treasure. Generally though a module (X1, B2 etc) might take 20-30 ours to play right through it. One of them will get you from level 1-3 or 1-4 and it kinda slows down a bit around level 5 and you might get 1-2 levels each one.   I have read apparently Gygax expected around 1 year to get ot level 10, then 2/levels a year after that. If you played for 4 hours a week most weeks its probably not to far off. We played though one of the B series and an X series and it took around 2 sessions a level I think (we played through kinda quick though) and ToEE you level up sorta fast. 2HD Ghoul had a 8000gp necklace (and 8k xp carried). B2 Keep on the Borderlands IIRC has around 40k worth of treasure in it. You might not get it all but that is level 3 (4 for a thief) for 8 players, smaller group level 4. That was with a clone come to think of it and fighter types get 1/cleave a level so a 5th level fighter could potentially get 6 attacks. 2E we use weapon specialisation and Fighters Handbook so might 3/2 was the number at lvl 1, maybe 5/2 for a dual wielder. Generally AD&D levelled up faster, followed by B/X, with 2E in last place. Mages in B/X were always behind they did not get funky xp tables in the mid levels. Mid level AD&D adventures often have more loot than the X series hexcrawls.</blockquote>
