Remember, to determine EL, you take the experience value of the encounter (225k, for Orcus), divide it by the number of party members (1) and compare it to the chart. The chart ends at level 40 with 111k experience per standard monster. Orcus is a ~45-47 encounter for a solo character (47 if the +16k xp increase doesn't speed up, ~45 if it does).</blockquote>
